SLS-1500 Liquid Flow Meter Compact Flow Meter for Industrial Applications ■ Liquid flow rates up to 40 ml/min ■ 20 ms response time ■ High chemical compatibility ■ Modular electrical interface Interface Options Product Summary Digital - I2C-Bus - RS485-Bus - USB Cable The SLS-1500 liquid flow meter enables precise, non-invasive measurements of dynamic liquid flow rates up to 40 ml/min bi-directionally. Excellent biocompatibility is ensured by the exclusive use of high-performance stainless steel, PTFE and PEEK for the wetted parts. The flow path of the SLS-1500 liquid flow sensor is formed by an especially thin-walled, straight tube which assures excellent sensitivity. Analog - Voltage output (0-10 V) - Additional operation modes For more information on communication, please refer to page 2 of this document. Table 1: Performance of SLS-1500 (all data for medium H2O, 23°C, 1 barabS unless otherwise noted) aFlow rate at which the sensor output saturates, see section 2 for performance specification between full scale and saturation point. bAccuracy respectively repeatability below ±20 ml/min. See the charts in section 2 for the accuracy respectively repeatability specifications between ±20 ml/min and full scale. 'Maximum additional offset when flow channel is vertical. dNon-condensing, flow path empty.

3.6 Digital Communication via I2C-Bus The SLS-1500 liquid flow meter has been designed for use with the SCC1 interface cables. For special applications, direct communication with the flow meter via the standard I2C-interface is possible. The physical interface consists of two bus lines, a data line (SDA) and a clock line (SCL) which need to be connected via pull-up resistors to the bus voltage of 4 Fluidic Connection the system. By default, the I2C address is set to 64 (hexadecimal: 40, binary: 1000000). These lines can be used on 3.3 V or 5.0 V levels with a recommended clock frequency of...
