Proper Usage The variable area flowmeters of the DS06 series are used exclusively for monitoring and indicating continuous flows of liquid media that do not attack the materials used. All other usage is regarded as being improper and outside the scope of the device.
The series DS06 flow meter devices should not be deployed as the sole agents to prevent dangerous conditions occurring in plant or machinery. Machinery and plant need to be designed in such a manner that faulty conditions and malfunctions do not arise that could pose a safety risk for operators.
do not install the flow monitor as a supporting part in a pipe system the medium must not carry solid bodies. Magnetic particles accumulate on the magnetic float and impair its function. Check corrosion and antifreeze agents from the application for compatibility. DS06 Instruction manual 05/2021 page 4...
This may result in serious injury to the user. if the mediums is contaminated by solids, a strainer must be installed before the device (e.g. SF00 or SF01 from PKP) Direction of flow: Only install the flow monitor in one of the positions displayed in the drawing. The medium must flow in the direction of the arrow (from a low to a high scale value).
Capacitive Load Capacitive loads consist e.g. of long connection cables or capacitive consumers. WARNING: High current spikes at switching on (this will exceed the nominal current) Protective measures: (examples) Limitation of current by a resistor DS06 Instruction manual 05/2021 page 6...
