Magnetic-inductive flow probe for conductive liquids

FIS

Magnetic-inductive flow probe for conductive liquids, pastes and sludges from 1...8 m/s. For DN 50..DN 400 pipes, with passive 4...20 mA output and removable sensor design.

Introduction

Flow measurement in conductive media becomes easier to maintain when the measuring probe can stay accessible without opening the process. FIS measures the local flow velocity of conductive, largely homogeneous liquids, pastes and sludges, including media with solids content, using a magnetic-inductive measuring principle.
 
One probe covers a wide pipe range: installation is possible with welded sleeves for DN 50...DN 400 or with a plastic mounting clamp for DN 50...DN 150. The measuring end value is factory-set from 1...8 m/s in 1 m/s steps, giving users a defined output range for their application. A passive 4..20 mA output transfers the measured velocity to the control system.
 
The complete measuring probe can be withdrawn without creating an opening to the medium. This reduces service effort and supports safer maintenance, as only the electronics section needs replacement in case of a defect. Stainless steel and ceramic materials support use with demanding media, while ingress protection up to IP 67 is available with the round connector version.

Features

Magnetic-inductive principle

The probe measures flow velocity in conductive media by detecting the induced voltage generated as the medium moves through a magnetic field.

Media compatibility

The measuring principle is designed for conductive, largely homogeneous liquids, pastes and sludges, including media with solids content.

Pipe installation

The probe mounts into the pipeline using supplied welded sleeves or a plastic mounting clamp, depending on nominal diameter and connection type.

Passive current output

The measured velocity is transmitted via a passive 4...20 mA output.

Range setting

The measuring end value can be set by the user via DIP switches in 1 m/s steps from 1 m/s to 8 m/s.

Zero setting

A ZERO CAL button supports zero-point adjustment when the pipe is completely filled and flow velocity is zero.

Electrical connection

Versions are available with Pg 9 cable gland or 4-pin M12x1 round connector.

Status signaling

During commissioning, the device performs an automatic self-test and signals test or fault status through the current output.
