SAFETY INFORMATION Safety information Intended use The T-Easic® is a flow sensor for liquids (defined in “11 Technical data”) that operates on the basis of the calorimetric measurement principle. It converts the flow rate and temperature of the medium into an electrical signal. The information of the flow rate and the medium temperature of the liquid are shown on the OLED display (industrial version only). The flow and temperature information is available over IO-Link, too. Two switching outputs can be set for both flow and temperature control. The sensor fulfills the requirements of EN...

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Product features and functions Principle of operation The T-Easic® FTS (Flow Thermal Switch) monitors the flow velocity of liquids (i.e. water, aqueous media, oil, etc.). The measurement method is based on the calorimetric principle. The sensor measures the cooling effect of the flowing liquid on the heated measuring probe. The higher the flow velocity of the liquid, the higher the cooling effect of the heated probe. The sensor has two configurable switching outputs (Q1 and Q2) for flow or temperature. Q2 can be selected as digital input. The switching output Q1 also...
