FIELD WIRING 

In the case of 230 VAC or 24 VAC power supply, connect the 
power supply to terminals L (+) and N (-). 
In the case of 24 VDC power supply, connect common 15, 
normally-closed 16, and normally-open 18, accordingly.

  To ensure IP rating, use only cables having diameters of 

6…9 mm. 

 

MEASURING PRINCIPLE 

The KSL operates according to the principle of the hot-wire 
anemometer, and consists of two identical resistive sensors 
located inside a probe. One sensor measures the tempera-
ture of the air. The second sensor, located in the lateral 
opening and so directly exposed to the air flow, heats up to a 
controlled permanent temperature.

 

When there is no air flow, the temperature of this second, 
heated sensor remains stable, but as soon as air flows, its 
temperature drops. The resultant change is registered by the 
built-in electronics, which attempt to re-establish its original 
temperature by increasing the electrical current. The extra 
current required to do this is proportional to the air speed. 
 

COMMISSIONING 

1.  If Electrical Outage Protection (see section "60-Second 

Electrical Outage Protection") is desired, insert the jumper 
(see Fig. 3). Otherwise, remove the jumper. 

2.  Next, set the potentiometer (marked "Sensitivity" – see 

Fig. 3) to the lowest sensitivity (i.e., to the left limit stop). 

3.  Now connect mains voltage; the green "Voltage" LED will 

light up. 

NOTE:

  If the jumper was set, Electrical Outage Protection will now 

be in effect (see section "60-Second Electrical Outage 
Protection"), and for the next 60 seconds, besides the 
green "Voltage" LED, both yellow LEDs ("Time" and "Air 
Flow") will also light up, and the device's relay will behave 
as though the blower were running and minimum air flow 
were present. You must therefore now wait until the 60 
seconds have elapsed and the two yellow LEDS have gone 
dark before continuing adjustment. 

4.  Now switch on the blower and provide for nominal air flow. 
5.  Setpoint adjustment: Slowly turn the potentiometer CW 

until the yellow "Air Flow" LED lights up. 

6.  To achieve a stable switch point, turn the potentiometer 

slightly past the switching point. 

7.  To verify function, reduce or completely cut off the air flow. 

The yellow "Air Flow" LED should go dark and the internal 
relay should switch.

60-Second Electrical Outage Protection 

The following description of relay behavior assumes that one 
wishes to monitor the 

minimum

 flow (the usual case). During 

normal operation, when the air flow exceeds the setpoint, the 

device's relay contact will then 

close

To avoid malfunctioning when power is restored after a 

system-wide outage (affecting both the blower 

and

 the 

sensor), select Electrical Outage Protection by setting the 

jumper. When restoring power after an outage (or when 

starting up; see section "Commissioning"), the relay will then 

remain closed for an additional 60 seconds, as though 
minimum air flow were still present. 

After the 60-sec period has elapsed, normal operation and 

relay behavior will resume: Thus, if the air flow has returned 

to above the setpoint, the relay will remain closed; if the air 

flow has dropped to below the setpoint, the relay will open. 

This function can be disabled by removing the jumper. 
 

TROUBLESHOOTING 

Problem 

Possible cause 

Correction 

Device does not 
function at all. 

No or wrong mains 
voltage connected. 

Check mains voltage 
and connection. 

Device does not 
detect air flow. 

Sensor installed 
incorrectly. 

Check installation con-
ditions. 

Switching behavior 
changes. 

Sensor heavily 
soiled by medium. 

Carefully clean sensor 
with water. 

Device switches at 
rapid temperature 
increase. 

Temp. range is out-
side technical speci-
fications. 

Turn poti slightly far-
ther CW. Check temp. 
range of system.
