2.Note
This programming instruction is only a supplement to the operating
instruction for the sensor.
3. Electrical Connection
3.1. General
Attention! Make sure that the voltages in your plant correspond
with the instrument voltages
Make sure that the supply wires are de-energized.
Connect the supply voltage and evaluation of both output signals to the plug
connector PINs as shown in section 3.2 and 3.3.
We recommend the use of wires with cross sectional area of min. 0,25 mm²
Attention! Incorrect wiring will lead to damage of the unit’s
electronics.

4.5. Main Menu Items
Switching point
The switching point is entered in menu item "SPo, SP1, SP2". A value in the
range 000 to 999 may be chosen. A decimal point position is also assigned to this
value. The position of the decimal point can be set after the first, second or last
position (no decimal point). If the indicated value exceeds the set switching point,
then the electronics switches and energizes the LED.
If the hysteresis is equal to zero and the window point is de-activated, the
electronic switches back whenever the indicated value falls below the switching
point.
Hysteresis
After the switching point, hysteresis can be entered as a negative value in the
menu "HYS". The default hysteresis value is zero. However this can lead to
confused switching, when the measuring signal fluctuates around the switching
point or window point. This problem can be cured by increasing the hysteresis.
The hysteresis is based on the switching point and the window point (switching
point minus hysteresis; window point plus hysteresis).
Example: switching point 100 l/min; hysteresis: -2.5 l/min
The electronics switches when 100 l/min is exceeded and switches
back when the flow rate falls below 97.5 l/min.
Window point (duo point)
A window point "duo" (duo point) can be defined in addition to the switching
point. The window point must be greater than the switching point. The measured
value can be monitored within a set range by means of the window point and
switching point. The switching point marks the lower end of the range of values
and the window point the upper end.

Seite 10 ...C3... K01/0916
If the window point (duo point) is lower than or equal to the switching point,
an error message is displayed (Er4), its value is then deleted and thus its
function is disabled (applies to window point and switching point setting).
Value setting is similar to switching point setting.
The window point serves to monitor the measured value within a set range.
Example: Switching point: 100 l/min; window point: 150 l/min; hysteresis: -1 l/min
The electronics switches when 100 l/min is exceeded. When the measured value
stays within the limits 99 l/min (100-1) and 151 l/min (150+1), then the electronics
also remains in the activated switch state (LED on). Should the measured value
exceed 151 l/min or drop below 99 l/min, then the electronics switches back.
Switching performance
The switching performance of the electronics is illustrated in the diagram below.
The contact closes (N/O contact) when the switching point is exceeded or when
the value drops below the window point. It opens when the window point plus
hysteresis is exceeded or when the value drops below the switching point minus
hysteresis. The switch state of the electronics is indicated by an LED.
