Overview

At a glance

• Flow monitoring and temperature measurement in one sensor
• Optimized for water and oil; teach-in option of other liquids
• IP 67/IP 69 enclosure rating and IO-Link 1.1
• Industrial design in VISTAL® housing with 180°-rotatable OLED display
• Stainless steel hygienic variant, completely CIP-/SIP-capable, process temperatures up to 150 °C

Your Benefit

• One sensor, two measurements - reduces costs and hygiene risk thanks to a unique installation point
• Cost savings thanks to speedy installation via mounting adapter
• Time savings due to easy commissioning without calibration for taught-in media
• User-friendly industrial version with intuitive menu guidance and display for fast commissioning
• Reduced storage needs thanks to flexible adjustment to the pipe diameter
• Less wiring is required thanks to IO-Link 1.1 with convenient adjustments as well as integration and cloning functions
• Low downtimes thanks to low-maintenance system

The T-Easic® FTS thermal flow switch measures flow and temperature in accordance with the calorimetric principle. With two digital outputs, it monitors the measured values and sends these to a superior control as soon as a set limit value is exceeded or undercut. The parameter settings can be done via IO-Link. As an industrial design, it also offers an OLED display and operating buttons. Values preset at the factory for media such as oil and water simplify and accelerate commissioning; nearly all liquids can be calibrated quickly and easily. The extremely rugged VISTAL® housing of the industrial design protects the sensor during cleaning processes, the hygienic design also available also withstands CIP/SIP conditions.

Applications

• Flow monitoring in cooling lubricant circuits and cleaning machines
• Flow and temperature detection in the food industry and in CIP cleaning systems
• Pump protection and monitoring
• Contamination monitoring of filters
• Performance measurement of rinsing and spraying processes
