Instrument Inspection

Instruments are inspected before shipping and sent out in the perfect condition. Should damage to a device be visible, we recommend a thorough inspection of the delivery packaging. In case of damage, please inform your parcel service/forwarding agent immediately, since they are responsible for damages during transit.
Scope of delivery:
The standard delivery includes:

  • All Metal Flow Switch
    model: SMN

Regulation Use

Model SMN instruments monitor liquid flows. Only clean and homogeneous liquids of low viscosity – against which the instrument materials are resistant – should be monitored. Large switch-point inaccuracies can occur with highly viscous media.
Large dirt particles can block the float and thus cause faulty signals. Pieces of ferrite, deposited on the float (with an embedded magnet) can lead to the same effect (we recommend magnetic filters).

Operating Principle

The KOBOLD model SMN flow switch is used when extremely low flow switch points are required in combination with minimum pressure loss at high flow rates.
The flow switch operates on the well-known float principle. An orifice float with an integrated circular magnet moves within a cylindrical flow tube in the direction of the flow and against a spring.
The magnetic field of the float activates a reed contact which is mounted on the outside of the instrument in a sliding protective casing. Due to the special construction of the float and flow tube, only a low flow is required to raise the float and hence to activate the reed contact. If the flow rate increases further and the float reaches the top of its travel an additional flow path opens allowing high flow rates without a significant increase in the pressure loss.

Mechanical Connection

  • Make sure that allowed max. operating pressure and temperature are not exceeded.
  • The instrument can be installed vertically or horizontally in the pipework. Flow is in the direction of the arrow from bottom to top, from left to right or from right to left.
  • Remove all transport restraints and make sure that none of the packing material remains in the instrument.
  • Use Teflon tape or something similar to seal the threaded connections.
  • The instruments should not be installed in an induction field.
  • If possible, check after mechanical installation that the threaded joint/pipe connection is tight and leakproof.

Electrical Connection

7.1. with Plug Connection

  • Make sure that the electrical supply lines are powerless.
  • Undo the locking screw on the plug cap and remove the cap from the base.
  • Mount the supply line in the plug cap as shown in the wiring diagram.
  • The contact is adjusted and should not be modified.
  • Insert the plug connector on the contact stem and fix it with the retaining screw.

Attention! Every single specified electrical value for the sealed contact should not be exceeded even for short periods. We recommend contact protection relays or other contact protection measures for higher switching values.
When the external devices have been connected to the limit contact and the switching point has been set, the electrical connection is complete. The instrument can now be put into operation.
7.2. Example for Contact Protective Measures
For capacitive and inductive loads (long conductors and relay/protection) we recommend the following protective schemes.
