Product catalog summary
Overview: The VA 520 is an inline flow meter designed for bi-directional measurement of air and gases. It features a digital display with blue or green arrows indicating flow direction and provides readings for each direction. The device supports 4...20 mA output for present flow and pulse output for total flow, with options for galvanic isolation or M-Bus.
Specifications:
  • Installation: Easy installation into existing pipelines with integrated measuring section and weld neck flange (EN 1092-1 PN 40).
  • Accuracy: High measuring accuracy due to defined measuring section, with options for ±1% of measured value and ±0.3% of full scale.
  • Temperature and Pressure: Operating temperature range from -30 to 80°C and pressure from -1 to 16 bar, optionally up to PN 40.
  • Materials: Measuring section made of stainless steel (1.4301 or 1.4571).
Features:
  • Display: Rotatable by 180° to accommodate reverse flow direction, showing present flow and total consumption simultaneously.
  • Digital Interfaces: Includes Modbus-RTU, Ethernet (PoE), and M-Bus for integration with management systems.
  • Units: Freely selectable units via display keys, including m³/h, l/min, kg/h, cfm, etc.
  • Diagnostics: Comprehensive diagnostic functions accessible via display or Modbus-RTU.
Options and Accessories:
  • Bi-directional measurement with dual 4...20 mA and pulse outputs.
  • High-pressure version and ANSI flange options available.
  • Special measuring ranges and DVGW approval for natural gas.
  • Additional calibration curves and ISO calibration certificates available.
Technical Data:
  • Sensor Type: Thermal mass flow sensor.
  • Measured Medium: Air, nitrogen, argon, CO2, oxygen.
  • Supply: 18…36 VDC, 5 W with a burden of < 500 Ω.
  • Housing: Polycarbonate (IP 65).
Installation and Maintenance:
  • Measuring unit can be unscrewed for maintenance without removing the entire section.
  • Sensor is removable and cleanable.
  • Mounting position is flexible, allowing for various installation configurations.
