8.13 Teach switching points (TEACH mode)
The Teach process is the same for configuring the switching outputs for OutA and
OutB. In the following, the process is described using the switching output OutA.
The Teach function is only available for flow monitoring.
Requirement: The sensor is ready for operation (RUN mode).
If the security code is activated, the parameter entry option is blocked: [Lock]
flashes.
1. Enter the security code è 8.5 Enter the security code (EDIT mode).
2. Establish the switching function in EDIT mode
è 8.6 Configuring switching output (EDIT mode).
3. Apply signal value 1.
4. Press the A pushbutton and Edit button.
ÄThe current signal value will then be adopted as the first Teach point
(TP1). [t-IN] flashes.
5. Apply signal value 2.
6. Press the A pushbutton and Edit button.
ÄThe current signal value will then be adopted as the first Teach point
(TP2). Switch to the RUN mode.
8.14 Zero point synchronisation (Zero Adjust)
Requirement:
– The sensor is ready for operation (RUN mode).
– The operating pressure is present, but no flow rate exists.
– [Z.AdJ] is set to [ON] (è 8.7 Change device settings (EDIT mode)).
– The measured value lies in the range 0l/min ±3%FS.
• Press the A and B pushbuttons and Edit button simultaneously.
Ä– If [OK] appears: the zero point synchronisation was successful.
– If [FAIL] appears: the zero point synchronisation was not successful.
Check requirements.
If [Z.AdJ] [OFF] is set for a later time, the sensor takes over the factory setting cal-
ibration values.
9 Operation and use
After the supply voltage is switched on, the SFAH needs a warm-up time of
10minutes until it achieves the specified accuracy.
The flow rate displayed by the SFAH refers to the standard conditions that were
set under Options in the Special menu.
9.1 Restoring factory settings (restore)
By resetting to the factory settings, the current settings are lost. If required, make
a note of these settings before resetting.
1. Switch off operating voltage.
2. Keep the A and B pushbuttons pressed down simultaneously.
3. Switch on the operating voltage.
4. Additionally, press the Edit button.
Ä[RSto PArM] appears. All parameters are reset to the factory settings.
10 Maintenance and care
1. Turn off energy source and compressed air.
2. Clean sensor with non-abrasive cleaning agents.
