VA 520 DN 80 - Thermal mass flow sensor for flow measurement
Optimize your energy costs and increase sustainability with the VA 520 Consumption meter with integrated DN 80 measuring section with flange. This permanently installed flow meter monitors your consumption and analyzes leaks - ideal for distribution stations, departments or for billing individual consumers.
Advantages of the compact VA 520 flow sensor:
- Measuring accuracy: High accuracy when measuring the mass flow with direct output of the standard volume flow.
• Kompensiert: Druck- und temperaturkompensiert durch das thermische Massenstromprinzip.
- Easy handling: Quick replacement and cleaning thanks to the integrated measuring section.
- Easy to maintain: Virtually maintenance-free thanks to the absence of moving parts.
- Pressure loss: Negligible blockage of the diameter.
- Compatibility: Suitable for compressed air and non-corrosive gases.
• Schnittstellen: Standardmäßig 04…20 mA, Puls, Modbus-RTU (RS 485), optional auch Modbus TCP, PoE und M-Bus.
- Measuring range: Up to 40 bar pressure and -30 to 80°C temperature.
- Protection class: IP65, optimum protection against environmental influences.
- Display: Displays measured values and enables simple settings.
- Reset: Counter reading can be reset directly via the display.
- Precision: Accuracy of ± 1.5% or ± 1% of the measured value.
Technical details of the VA 520:
- Digital interfaces: Connection to energy management and building management systems possible.
- Easy installation: Quickly ready for use.
- Flexible unit selection: Selectable via the display (m³/h, l/min, kg/h, etc.).
- High measuring accuracy: Also ideal for leakage measurements in the lower measuring range.
- Calorimetric principle: No additional pressure or temperature measurement required.
- Diagnostic functions: Comprehensive diagnostics and parameter queries via Modbus RTU.
