DS15 Flow Indicator, Switch, Transmitter CLARK SOLUTIONS
DS15 Flow Indicator, Switch, Transmitter
F.S. Flow Ranges from 24 lph to 50,000 lph Water

DESCRIPTION
The model DS15 flow meters work according to the proven variable area principle. The float is moved upward in a tapered tube by the flowing medium and its upper edge indicates the flow rate by means of a scale affixed on to the measuring tube.

By using a float with an integrated magnet, optional alarm contacts or an analog output transducer may be added.

All flow meters have a male thread on the measuring tube and are supplied with two schedule 80 PVC-U pipe couplings. Please call for coupling materials other than PVC .

The variety of materials used and the simple to exchange measuring scales make these meters universally suitable for most liquid and gaseous media.

Applications are in the water treatment industry, wastewater, plating and surface finishing, chemical and food industries and many more.

    downstream of meter F
Measuring Accuracy - ±4% F.S.
Scales - water scales (in LPH) and air scales (in m^(3)/h) referenced
    to 0, 1, 2, or 3 bar above atmosphere and 20°C are standard.
    For other media, i.e. gases with higher pressures, HCL (30%),
    NaOH (30%) as well as other units of measurement
    (m^(3)/h, l/sec, GPM) special scales can be supplied.

Accessories
Alarm Contacts - bistable, N/C or N/O contact function on rising flow
    Mounting: adjustable on measuring tube
    Contact Rating: Max 220 VAC, 0.5A Max 10A/10VA
    Operating Temperature: 0...+55°C
    Hysteresis: 3 mm of float height
    Electrical Connection: Two wire, independent of polarity
Analog & RS-232 output -
    The optional analog output transducer is mounted onto the
    measuring tube of the DS15 flowmeter and registers the height of
    the float by means of an analog Hall sensor. The integrated
    electronics converts this signal to a 4-20 mA output. Additionally a
    digital value is available via an RS-232 interface.

    To utilize the analog output transducer, the standard float must
    be exchanged for a float with an integral magnet.

    The transducer is equipped with an EPROM which is programmed
    especially for the application. Therefore it is not possible to
    field adjust the transducers without consulting the manufacturer.

Electrical connection: 6-pin plug per DIN 45322 (included)
