4 Application

The S421 is the inline-type flow sensor that is designed to measure the

consumption of compressed air and gases within the permissible

operating parameters. (See chapter 6 Technical Data on the ne t

page.)

The S421 can measure the following values:

•Volume flow of the compressed air or gas (default unit: m3/h)

•Total consumption of the compressed air or gas (default unit: m3)

Other units can be configured by using the S4C-FS Android service app

or the optional sensor display.

The S421 flow sensor is mainly used in compressed air systems in

industrial environment, and is not developed to be used in e plosive

areas. For the use in e plosive areas, please contact the manufacturer.

•Thermal mass flow measurement, virtually independent of

pressure and temperature changes

•IP65 casing for robust protection in the industrial environment.

•Very fast response time

•Particularly suitable for measuring process gases such as Ar, O2,

CO2 etc

•Optional display, showing velocity, volume flow, and consumption

•Various signal output options, such as analog and pulse, Modbus

RTU, Modbus TCP, or M-Bus

•Optional Power over Ethernet (PoE) for the Modbus TCP output

8 Determining the installation point

To maintain the accuracy stated in the technical data, the sensor must

be installed inline and fitted to tubes with the same diameter. Please

make sure that it has unhindered flow characteristics.

Unhindered flow characteristics are achieved if the section in front of the

sensor (inlet) and behind the sensor (outlet) is sufficiently long,

absolutely straight, and free of obstructions such as edges, seams,

curves etc..

Please consider that enough space e ists at your site for an adequate

installation as described in this manual.

ATTE TIO !

A 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 recommended not to install S421 permanently in a

wet environment such as the place right after a compressor outlet.

8.1 Adding the required inlet section

The thermal measuring principle is sensible to inlet and outlet

conditions. We recommend the following minimum straight inlet and

outlet sections be maintained to ensure an accurate measurement.

Sensors should be always installed upstream from obstacles such as

valves, filter, reductions etc. In common the sensor should be installed

as far as possible away from any disturbances.

S421 15

8 Determining the installation point

The S421 sensor comes with a measuring section and a straight inlet

section. Nevertheless, additional straight inlet sections must be added

to the measuring section to meet the minimum inlet requirements.

Please refer to the installation types below and select your additional

inlet section 'LA' from the table.

Remark:

•The length of an additional inlet section depends on the pipe

diameter.

•If there is any combination of the below situations, the longest

straight inlet section must be maintained.
