ABK
This stop cock specially designed for the
FSA/FSK has a plug that is guided in a
valve casing and that can be turned from
the outside. Turning it by 90° closes the
connection opening of the FSA/FSK.
It is operated by screwdriver, from the
side, above or below depending on the
position of the ABK.
ABV
Screwing the adjusting screw deeper
into the valve casing closes the
connection opening of the FSA/FSK
(the screw can be loosened again
subsequently).
The screw is adjusted by means of an
allen key (AF width 3).
1.2. FUNCTION
FSA
By using the FSA, the uid level can be
easily seen on the outside of the tank.
The uid enters the unit via the lower
connection bore and is clearly visible in
the tube. By selecting the right size, the
particular uid level can be monitored.
FSK
By using the FSK, the uid level is
monitored via an electrical switching
signal. This switch signal can be used
for a warning or to control the level.
The uid enters the unit via the lower
connection bore and pushes a oat up
the tube. The oat now shows the level
of the uid in the tank. If the level of the
uid drops again, the oat will activate a
switch contact. For the NO switch (type
C) the circuit will then be closed, for the
NC switch (type O) the circuit will be
opened.
The special dual switching model (type
W) offers two possibilities. It can be used
either to close on contact or to open on
contact.
TS
The TS is a very useful additional option
to the FSA and FSK products. However,
it also has a useful application as a
separate accessory for systems.
Once tted, the temperature sensor
of the TS is surrounded by operating
uid. When the nominal temperature is
reached, a contact opens and the circuit
is broken.
This switching process can be used
either as an alarm or to monitor the
temperature.
When the temperature of the uid drops
by approx. 15 K, the circuit closes again.
TFP
Based on the principle of voltage drop,
the sensor provides an electrical signal
as a value for the temperature.
A constant measurement ow is
fed to the temperature sensor. The
voltage change is roughly proportional
to the change in resistance caused
by the temperature – the higher the
temperature, the greater the resistance.
Measurement errors caused by longer
feed lines are avoided by using the
4-conductor connection.
1.3. APPLICATION
Fluid level gauges FSA, uid level
sensors FSK and temperature switches
TS are used to monitor and control levels
of operating uid.
Areas of application are for example:
Machine tools, system engineering, tanks
for hydraulic, lubricating and cutting oils,
and gearboxes.
1.4. NOTES
The upper viscosity limit is 2,000 mm²/s.
It is not possible to combine a TS
temperature switch with an FT
temperature gauge.
To ensure correct functioning, pressure,
viscosity and temperature specications
must be observed.
FSA/FSK
In the standard design not suitable for
use with glycol and uids containing
glycol – the special design SO14 is
recommended as a solution variant in
such cases.
FSK
Depending on the uid level of the tank,
the following switching logic applies for
the uid level monitor with NC and NO
contacts.
Tank uid level
Tank uid level
(normally
closed)
(normally
open)
In each case the switching logic of the
uid level sensor starts with a full tank.
For the NC version the switching contact
opens when the uid level drops below
the switching level. Correspondingly, in
the NO version, the switching contact
closes when the uid level drops below
the switching level.
