SHARKY FS 473

ULTRASONIC FLOW SENSOR

Application

SHARKY FS ultrasonic flow sensor is designed for flow measuring in local and district heating and heating/cooling systems. The ultrasonic technology used is based on the static measurement of the transit time and offers many benefits : no moving parts (prevents wear and tear of the metering components), low pressure loss, large metering dynamics and low start flowrate, resistance to suspended particles...

    InterfacesOpen Collector pulse output1 - output for testing and communication2
    Volume pulse value310 ml ... 5,000 l/pulse (depending on sensor sizes and supply)
    Pulse cable length2.4 m (4.9 or 9.9 m optional)
    Material of the flow sensor bodyBrass (qp 0.6 ... 10 m³/h), grey cast iron (qp 15 ... 100 m³/h)
    1 The pulse output can be chosen without galvanic isolation (standard) or with galvanic isolation (only with battery supply). The flow sensor has by default a 4-wires pulse cable.
    2 The output for testing is a combined pulse output. The flow sensor can either emit a high resolution test pulse (standard) or communicate via the same output.
    3 The pulse duration is between 1 and 250 ms depending on the pulse value and the nominal flow rate qp.
    Standard pulse values: 1, 10, 100 l/pulse (other pulse values available on request).
