2 Safety information
2.1 Intended use
The T-Easic® is a flow sensor for liquids (defined in section 11) that operates on the
basis of the calorimetric measuring principle. It converts the flow rate and temperature
of the medium into an electrical signal, thereby providing the following measurands:
•Velocity (absolute)
•Velocity (relative)
•Volume flow
°Volume
°Temperature
The information about the flow rate and average temperature of the liquid is shown on
the OLED display (industrial version only). In addition, flow and temperature data are
also available via IO-Link. Two switching output elements or the pulse output can be
configured to control the flow and temperature. Some variants also have an additional
analog output.
The sensor meets the requirements of EN 61326-2-3 for industrial environments.
2.2 Improper use
The sensor is not a safety component under the meaning of the EU Machinery Directive
(2006/42/EC). The sensor must not be used in potentially explosive atmospheres.
It is not permitted to open the housing of the T-Easic®.
Any use outside the specified areas, in particular use outside the technical specifica‐
tions and in contradiction to the requirements related to the intended use, is consid‐
ered improper use.
If the device is not used according to the specifications in this document, the protection
provided by the device may be impaired.
If the sensor is to be used under other conditions or in other environments, the
manufacturer’s service department may issue an operating permit in consultation with
the customer and in exceptional cases.
2.3 Requirements on technical and operating personnel
WARNING RISK OF INJURY DUE TO INADEQUATE TRAINING.
Improper handling of the sensor can lead to significant personal injury and damage to
property.
All work must be carried out exclusively by the designated persons.
The operating instructions list the qualification requirements for the various fields of
work:

to them, and have been informed about the potential hazards resulting from
incorrect procedures.
•Skilled personnel have the specialized training, skills and experience, as well as
knowledge of the relevant regulations, to perform the tasks assigned to them and
to recognize potential hazards independently.
•Skilled electricians have the specialized training, technical skills and experience,
as well as knowledge of the relevant standards and regulations, to be able to
perform work on electrical systems and recognize potential hazards independently.
In Germany, qualified electricians must meet the requirements of the BGV A3 Ordi‐
nance on Industrial Safety and Health (e.g., master electricians). Other applicable
regulations in other countries must be observed.
The following qualifications are necessary for the various tasks:
Activities Qualification
Mounting, maintenance •Basic practical technical training
Knowledge of the current safety regulations in the workplace
Electrical installation,
device replacement
•Practical electrical training
•Knowledge of current electrical safety guidelines
Knowledge of device control and device operation in the relevant
application (e.g., conveyor line)
Commissioning, configura‐
tion
•Basic knowledge of the control system used
•Basic knowledge of data transmission
Basic knowledge of the design and setup of the described connec‐
tions and interfaces
Operating the device in the
relevant application
•Knowledge of device control and device operation in the rele‐
vant application (e.g., CIP/SIP system)
•Knowledge of the software and hardware environment in the
relevant application (e.g., CIP/SIP system)
2.4 Use at high operating temperatures
At a process temperature above 50°C, the sensor housing may become hot.
DANGER DANGER OF BURNS ON THE SENSOR HOUSING
•Only touch the hot housing if you are wearing safety gloves.
•Avoid contact of the sensor with flammable substances.
2.5 General safety notes
•Read these operating instructions before commissioning the device.
•These operating instructions are valid for devices with a firmware version of 2.0.0
or higher.
•Observe the national accident prevention regulations/safety rules.
•Wiring work and the opening and closing of electrical connections must only be
carried out in a de-energized state.
•The sensor must not be connected to the voltage supply until it has been installed
in the pipeline system as described in section 5.1.
•The radiated power is significantly lower than that of telecommunications equip‐
ment. According to current scientific knowledge, the operation of this device can
be classified as safe and non-hazardous.

3.2.2 Control elements (industrial version only)
The sensor is controlled using the display and the operating buttons (industrial version
only).
A detailed description of the buttons and their functions can be found in see "Delay
Mode Q1", page 43.
NOTE
Both versions of the T-Easic® can be programmed using SICK SOPASET via the IO-Link
1.1 communication interface.
Information on IO-Link can be found in see "Operation", page 25.
3.3 Product features and functions
Principle of operation
The T-Easic FTS (Flow Thermal Switch) monitors the flow rate of liquids (e.g. water, aque‐
ous media, oil, etc.).
This measurement method is based on the calorimetric principle. The sensor measures
the cooling effect of the liquid flowing past the heated measurement probe. The higher
the flow rate of the liquid, the greater the cooling effect on the heated probe.
The sensor has two configurable digital outputs (Q1 and Q2) for flow and temperature.
Q1 can also be used for empty pipe detection. The sensor can detect whether there is
medium at the sensor tip and thereby detect an empty pipe.
The Q1 digital output also has an IO-Link interface (see see "Operation", page 25).
