4 Application
4 Application
The 401 is the insertion-type flow sensor that is designed to measure
the consumption of compressed air and gases within the permissible
operating parameters. ( ee chapter 6 Technical data on the next page.)
The 401 can measure the following values for the compressed air or
gas:
•Volumetric flow (default unit: m3/h).
•Total consumption (default unit: m3).
Other units are configurable using the 4C-F service app or the
optional display.
The 401 flow sensor is mainly used in compressed air or gas systems
in the industrial environments, and is not developed to be used in
explosive areas. For the use in explosive areas please contact the
manufacturer.

through a ball valve.
•Thermal mass flow measurement, virtually independent of
pressure and temperature changes.
•IP65 casing for robust protection in the industrial environment.
•Very fast response time.
•High accuracy and wide measuring ranges. pecial ranges available
on request.
•Tube diameters from 1/2” to 12”. Larger diameters available on
request.
•Optional display on the sensor head, showing volumetric flow and
consumption.

8 Determining the installation point
8 Determining the installation point
To maintain the accuracy stated in the technical data, the sensor must
be inserted in the center of a straight pipe section with unhindered flow
characteristics.
Unhindered flow characteristics are achieved if the section in front of the
sensor (inlet) and behind the sensor (outlet) are sufficiently long,
absolutely straight, and free of obstructions such as edges, seams,
curves etc..
Please make sure that enough space exists at your site for an adequate
installation as described in this manual.
ATTENTION!
Wrong measurement is possible if the sensor is not
installed correctly
Please note the following:
•Careful attention must be paid to the design of the inlet and outlet
section. Obstructions can cause counter-flow turbulence as well as
turbulence in the direction of the flow.
•The sensor is for indoor use only! At an outdoor installation, the
sensor must be protected from solar radiation and rain.
•It is strongly recommend not to install 401 permanently in wet
environment such as the place right after a compressor outlet.
S401 13

8 1 Reserving the required inlet and outlet sections
Because the thermal measuring principle is sensible to inlet and outlet
conditions, we recommend the following minimum straight inlet and
outlet sections be reserved to ensure an accurate measurement.
The 401 sensors should be always installed upstream from obstacles
such as valves, filter, reductions etc. In common, sensors must be
installed as far as possible away from any disturbances.
Remark: If there is any combination of the below situations, the longest
straight inlet section must be maintained.
•Expansion •Reduction
•90° Bend •2 x 90° Bend
14 S401

•3 dimensional Bend •T-piece
•hut-off valve •Filter or similar (unknown
objects)

9 1 Installation requirements
To install the sensor, a ball valve and a nozzle are needed:
•The inner thread must be G 1/2”.
•The diameter of the nozzle must be ≥ 13 mm. Otherwise the shaft
can not be inserted in.
16 S401

9 Installation
9 2 Installation procedure
The following steps explain the procedure of an appropriate installation.
9 2 1 Calculating the installation depth
Center installation is the default and recommended installation method.
The sensor tip must be placed in the center of the pipe. The sensor shaft
has a scale engraved. To determine the right position, please calculate
the insertion depth as described below.
Insertion depth=x+y
x=OD
2;OD is Outer Diameter of the pipe
y=length of the ball valve
Calculation example:
A 2”-diameter pipe and an 87 mm-
length ball valve:
OD=60.3 mm
x=OD
2=60.3 mm 2=30.15 mm
y=87 mm ;
Insertion depth
= 30.15 mm +87 mm=117.15 mm
S401 17

9 Installation
For bigger pipe diameters (> 200 mm), the sensor can be installed with
only a 100 mm insertion depth as the alternative. This allows one sensor
to be used for all pipe sizes.
Remark: To enable the 100 mm installation method, remember to
change the installation method setting accordingly, using the 4C-F
service app or the optional sensor display.
Insertion depth=x+y+100
x is the all thickness of pipe
y = length of the ball valve
Calculation example:
A 12”-diameter pipe with the wall
thickness of 9 mm and a 87 mm-
length ball valve.
x=9 mm ; y=87 mm
Insertion depth
= 9 mm+87 mm+100 mm=196 mm
18 S401

9 Installation
9 2 2 Installing the sensor
First please observe the flow direction
indicated on the housing or on the
shaft. It must match the flow direction
of the compressed air or gas.
1. Close the ball valve.
2. Make sure that he probe tip is completely
covered by the connection head (see the photo
on the left).
3. Underlay the “O-ring” at the thread of the
connection head.
4. crew the connection head tightly to the ball
valve and align flow sensor to flow direction.
5. Open the ball valve.
6. Move the shaft slightly to the determined
insertion depth by means of the scale on the
shaft.
7. Tighten the locking nut to the extent that the
flow sensor can no longer be moved by the
pressure in the pipe but can be moved
manually.
8. With the aid of the alignment key, make sure
that the actual flow direction is same as the
arrow shows. (The angle deviation should not
be larger than ±2°.)
S401 19

9 Installation
9. Double check the installation depth because the shaft might be
pushed away from its original position by the compressed gas.
10. Tighten the locking nut with clamping torque 20 … 30 Nm.
9 2 3 Removing the sensor
1. Hold the flow sensor firmly.
2. Release the locking nut.
3. Pull out the shaft slowly until the value “10” can be read at the
scale.
4. Close the ball valve.
5. Release the connection head and pull the flow sensor out of the
pipe.
9 3 Electrical connection
The flow sensor comes with connectors "A" and "B" through which the
sensor is connected with external control devices such as PLC.
