Page 5: Device Description
Device description Device description of the VMI series from SIKA is a flow sensor without moving parts. The meas- urement is performed using magnetic induction. The VMI is used for measuring or metering water and electrically conductive fluids. The com- pact design and independence from the intake and discharge sections allows the VMI to be used under a variety of conditions. -
Page 6: Installation
Ensure that no external magnetic fields are present at the in- stallation site of the VMI. The VMI can always be installed anywhere along the pipeline. Straight sections of piping • are preferable, however. - 6 - © SIKA • Ba_VMI_us • 02/2025... -
Page 7: Mounting
— Series VMI Installation Installation can occur in horizontal and vertical pipes. The flow sensor is only suitable for • application in completely filled pipe systems. As a matter of principle, magnetic inductive flow sensors are widely independent from the •... -
Page 8: Electrical Connection
Connecting cable Suitable connection cables with moulded coupling socket are available in various lengths in- cluded in the range of SIKA accessories. The shielding is already connected with the knurled nut. The maximum length of the connecting cable is 30 m. - Page 9 — Series VMI Electrical connection IMPORTANT Pay attention to the temperature resistance of the connecting cable at high media temperatures. If the temperature resistance is smaller than the medium temperature, the cable may not be directly laid on the pipe. Connection 5-pin plug M12x1 ...
