Operation Manual

1. Safety instructions
Storage and transportation
• Make sure that the transportation temperature of the sensor
without display is between -30°C ... 70°C and with display
between -10°C ... 60°C.
• For transportation it is recommended to use the packaging which
comes with the sensor.
• Please make sure that the storage temperature of the sensor is
between -10°C ... 50°C.
• Avoid direct UV and solar radiation during storage.
• For the storage the humidity has to be <90%, no condensation.
2. Application
The S430 is a flow sensor which is designed to measure the
consumption of compressed air and gases in wet air or high mass flow /
velocity applications. The sensor can measure in wet and dirty gases as
occurring, for example, at the outlet of a compressor.
The S430 can measure the following values:
• Velocity of the compressed air or gas.
• Volume flow of the compressed air or gas.
• Total consumption of the compressed air or gas.
• Pressure and Temperature of the compressed air or gas.
The default factory settings are: Velocity in m/s, Volume flow in m
3
/h
and Total Consumption in m
3
, pressure in bar, temperature in °C. Other
units can be programmed by the optional display or the service kit.
The S430 flow sensor is not developed to be used in explosive areas.
For the use in explosive areas please contact the manufacturer.
The S430 flow sensor is mainly used in compressed air systems in
industrial environment.
