KSL
Compact Electronic Air Flow Switch
PRODUCT DATA
GENERAL
These highly reliable compact electronic flow switches are
designed for detecting air flow in ducts or pipes.
The device's sensitivity is adjusted using a potentiometer.
When the air flow speed reaches a customer-preselected
threshold value (switchpoint), the device switches an
electronic circuit. The switching state is indicated by an LED.
FEATURES
▪PG7 connection for easy mounting directly to ducts.
▪No moveable parts in the detection zone.
▪Temperature-compensated operating range.
▪Highly resistant to contamination and corrosion.

MOUNTING
▪Select a mounting location in an area of calm flow.
Specifically, the device should not be mounted
immediately upstream or downstream from bends
(upstream calming distance = approx. 5X the duct
diameter; downstream calming distance = approx. 3X the
duct diameter). Vertical and horizontal mounting possible.
▪After selecting an appropriate mounting location, securely
fix the circular mounting bracket into place on the duct
using at least two screws.
▪Now slide the probe through the 10-mm centric hole in the
circular mounting bracket until the tip of the probe is at the
proper depth (in the middle of the duct).
▪Rotate the device to ensure that the air flows through the
lateral opening at the tip of the probe. Specifically, the
small depression (see Fig. 1) should face towards the
oncoming air.
▪Finally, securely fix the device in place using the
tightening screw (see Fig. 1).
▪Maintenance: The sensor should be cleaned regularly by
immersion in soapy warm water for about 10 minutes
under warm water flow using a clean rag. Do not use
screwdrivers or other hard tools to clean the sensor!

FIELD WIRING
In the case of 230 VAC or 24 VAC power supply, connect the
power supply to terminals L (+) and N (-).
In the case of 24 VDC power supply, connect common 15,
normally-closed 16, and normally-open 18, accordingly.

NOTE: To ensure IP rating, use only cables having diameters of
6…9 mm.
MEASURING PRINCIPLE
The KSL operates according to the principle of the hot-wire
anemometer, and consists of two identical resistive sensors
located inside a probe. One sensor measures the tempera-
ture of the air. The second sensor, located in the lateral
opening and so directly exposed to the air flow, heats up to a
controlled permanent temperature.
When there is no air flow, the temperature of this second,
heated sensor remains stable, but as soon as air flows, its
temperature drops. The resultant change is registered by the
built-in electronics, which attempt to re-establish its original
temperature by increasing the electrical current. The extra
current required to do this is proportional to the air speed.
COMMISSIONING
1. If Electrical Outage Protection (see section "60-Second
Electrical Outage Protection") is desired, insert the jumper
(see Fig. 3). Otherwise, remove the jumper.
2. Next, set the potentiometer (marked "Sensitivity" – see
Fig. 3) to the lowest sensitivity (i.e., to the left limit stop).
3. Now connect mains voltage; the green "Voltage" LED will
light up.
NOTE: If the jumper was set, Electrical Outage Protection will now
be in effect (see section "60-Second Electrical Outage
Protection"), and for the next 60 seconds, besides the
green "Voltage" LED, both yellow LEDs ("Time" and "Air
Flow") will also light up, and the device's relay will behave
as though the blower were running and minimum air flow
were present. You must therefore now wait until the 60
seconds have elapsed and the two yellow LEDS have gone
dark before continuing adjustment.
4. Now switch on the blower and provide for nominal air flow.
5. Setpoint adjustment: Slowly turn the potentiometer CW
until the yellow "Air Flow" LED lights up.
6. To achieve a stable switch point, turn the potentiometer
slightly past the switching point.
7. To verify function, reduce or completely cut off the air flow.
The yellow "Air Flow" LED should go dark and the internal
relay should switch.

60-Second Electrical Outage Protection
The following description of relay behavior assumes that one
wishes to monitor the minimum flow (the usual case). During
normal operation, when the air flow exceeds the setpoint, the
device's relay contact will then close.
To avoid malfunctioning when power is restored after a
system-wide outage (affecting both the blower and the
sensor), select Electrical Outage Protection by setting the
jumper. When restoring power after an outage (or when
starting up; see section "Commissioning"), the relay will then
remain closed for an additional 60 seconds, as though
minimum air flow were still present.
After the 60-sec period has elapsed, normal operation and
relay behavior will resume: Thus, if the air flow has returned
to above the setpoint, the relay will remain closed; if the air
flow has dropped to below the setpoint, the relay will open.
This function can be disabled by removing the jumper.
