6 Operating the sensor
Incorrect use of the sensors SONOFLOW IL.52 V2.0 and their components
can have an impact on the sensor functionality. Depending on the
application this can have unforeseeable consequences.

Prevent the lateral plates from contacting electrically conductive parts or
components. Interferences or high currents can affect the measurement.

Avoid extreme changes of ambient temperature (e.g. direct sunlight)
as well as extreme changes of medium temperature.
6.1 Preparatory work

Ensure that there are no gas bubbles in the sensor after connecting, downtimes or
applications with low flow rates: use maximum flow for some time or
– if the sensor is not
fixed
– by changing the sensor position (light tapping).

The sensor is ready for use.

Flow and sensor status are send via the configured outputs.
If there is visible damage, take the sensor out of operation immediately.
6.2 Cleaning and Disinfection
Incorrect cleaning of the sensors SONOFLOW IL.52 V2.0 and its
components can present a hazard for the user or damage the seals.

Use only cleaning agents the seals are resistant to.
Do never clean under the following conditions:

when the operating voltage is applied or

with highly oxidizing media like sulphuric acid with high concentration
nitric acid or hydrofluoric acid.
Do never remove the lateral plates; otherwise the sensor warranty for
pressure stability according to EN 12266-1 becomes null and void.
Specifically designed for use in fields with strict hygienic standards the sensor is suitable for
circulation cleaning and steam sterilization. The allowed cleaning agents depend on the seal
material. Make sure, that the seals made of FFKM or Viton are not damaged.
After using the sensor it is adequately to clean with a suitable flushing agent, to rinse and
–
depending on the application
– to let dry.
