4. Operating
Principle
The Plastic Flow Meter model: KSM operates according to the variable area
principle, in which the float is free to move without friction inside the measuring
tube. The reading edge corresponds to the larger diameter of the float. The
standard flow meter is equipped with a scale for water (+20°C), a percentage
scale, O-rings, 2 adjustable set-point indicators and a rail for accessories; on
each end, two threaded cap-screws accommodate various connectors (see
Section 9: Technical Data; Connections). For the operation with bistable reed
switches the float will be supplied with internal magnets.
