Flow sensor Fluxicont FS4

The Fluxicont FS4 is an device electronic flow resp. temperature switch for monitoring, control as well as continuous measurement of flow  and temperatures in liquids.

The flow switches are equipped with 4 … 20mA analog output and 2x PNP switching output (DC version) or with relay changers (UC version).

ACS-CONTROL-SYSTEM GmbH developed a new design for the controls of these flow  sensors (Previous series: Fluxicont FP). In addition, the devices have been shortened, so that the sensors are now even more versatile.

We have provided more clarity and ease of use and the devices present themselves with easy operation and good readability due to the 3-key operation display with tactile feedback.

Due to the device construction with

• Flow velocities from 3cm/s to 300cm/s
• Process temperatures from –20°C to +110°C
• Process pressures up to 40bar
• Process material stainless steel V4A

as well as the availability of a variety of hygienic resp. standard process connections like

• thread ISO 228-1 (FS4SK)
• thread ANSI NPT – on request (FS4SK)
• thread ISO 225-1 M18x1,5 for adapter – on request (FS4SK)
• Elastomer-free and free of dead space metallic sealing connection, EHEDG-/3A-/FDA-conformal (FS4LK)
• Varivent® – on request (FS4LK)
• Dairy coupling DIN 11851 – on request (FS4LK)
• Tri-Clamp® / Clamp DIN 32676 / Clamp ISO 2852 – on request (FS4LK)
• Aseptic tube coupling DIN 11864-1-A – on request (FS4LK)
• DRD, APV-Inline, BioControl®, SMS, flanges acc. to DIN and ISO – on request (FS4LK)

the device Fluxicont FS4SK is especially suitable for the use for

• Monitoring of cooling water circuits, pumps, turbines, compressors, heat exchangers and temperature control units
• Monitoring and dry-running of pumps
• Leak monitoring in process lines
• Monitoring lubrication systems
• Filter monitoring
• Monitoring of media flow in the beverage industry
• As well as plant, apparatus and mechanical engineering and automation

and the device Fluxicont FS4LK is especially suitable for the use for

• food and beverage industry
• pharmaceutical industry
• biotechnology
• sterile process engineering

The flow switches are suitable for demanding measuring requirements and offer besides the standard DC version the special feature of an all-current version (UC) up to 253VAC / 150VDC with relay changers.

Due to its high accuracy and the high flexibility of configuration, the device can be suited a wide variety of applications.

The process connection of the FS4LK with metallic sealing has been specifically designed for the hygienic, dead-space and elastomer-free process adaption. The construction of the FS4LK also allows CIP cleaning resp. SIP cleaning.

The robust design and the high-quality workmanship turns the device into a very high quality product, which even the most adverse environmental conditions cannot affect, whether the lowest temperatures when used outdoors, extreme shock and vibration or aggressive media.

A captive laser marking of the type label ensures the identifiability throughout the entire lifetime of the device.

Obviously is the optional marking of a measurement point designation resp. TAG, a customer label or of a neutral type label, of course also per laser marking.

A LABS-free resp. silicone-free version, a factory calibration with calibration certificate and a customer specific configuration resp. preset is also optionally available like a material test certificate EN10204 3.1 or factory certifications for drink water resp. food suitability.

Customer specific special versions can be realized on request, e.g.

• software adaption (menu navigation, special functions, etc.),
• changed terminal assignment resp. connector orientation,
• design adaption of the user surface,
• special designs for the process connection
