The new UQS7 Electronic Flow Switch from Barksdale provides new levels of performance and safety in monitoring and control of water based liquids, with faster response, large display and alarm outputs
Flowmeter to measure simulated rain conditions
The Barksdale UQS7 Electronic flow transmitter has been used by Audi in providing repeatable rainstorm test conditions on their latest windscreen wiper test stand
The high scanning rate, the high measuring ranges and the small pressure drop are characteristic for the UQS7.
The flow measurement is converted using the latest onboard modern semiconductor technology and microprocessor to provide a visual indication on an easy to read 12 mm LED display.
In addition to the display of the flow the UQS7 offers two programmable switch contacts which are used to monitor low and high flow conditions, together with an analogue 4-20 mA output.
This analogue output may be transmitted for remote control and monitoring.
In line installation is quick and easy to G 3/4'', G 1'', 2'' male connections, and all switch settings may be set using 3 menu keys.
With the permanent self-diagnostic system any errors are detected and displayed immediately by an alarm signal.
All measuring and switch functions are monitored in millisecond intervals providing fast response of flow changes; the switch settings may be electronically locked to prevent unauthorised adjustments.
The major benefits the UQS7 provides are its compact size 110 x 110 x 94 mm, capable of withstanding 25 Bar pressure, low pressure drop (below 250 mbar), fast response, a clear online display of flow, with two freely adjustable switch points, and an analogue output for remote monitoring and control.
It also conforms to DESINA requirements for the German Machine Tool Industry.
Typical applications would be the monitoring of water flow in cooling systems.
For example laser welding and robotic welding machines used in the automotive industry, where it is important that any failure in the water flow system is immediately detected to prevent damage to expensive equipment and processes. Request a free brochure from Barksdale Control Products ...
