Operation
(Continued)
A scale with 0.20 in (0.5 cm) grating on the immersion stem and the extension pipe
indicates the immersion depth.
The connecting flange is used to attach and seal the immersion stem on the duct wall.
A plastic housing with removable cover accommodates the transducer. It can be
screwed to a flat surface.
The sensor cable is connected: the sensor and the transducer are a unit.
The measuring ranges are selected by inserting or removing a plug-in jumper.
Protection against false wiring is provided related to own voltages. (Measuring output
U1 is short-circuit proof.) The sensor head connections are not protected against 24
Vac operating voltage.

controller.
3. Plug-in unit for setting the three velocity
ranges.
No plug-in jumper = 0 to 16 ft/s
(0 to 5 m/s)
Plug-in on 1 and 2 = 0 to 32 ft/s
(0 to 10 m/s)
(Factory setting)
Plug-in on 2 and 3 = 0 to 49 ft/s
(0 to 15 m/s)
