6 Function and application
6.1 Functional principle
The SFAB uses a thermal measurement method. Here, the amount of heat drawn
from a heated surface of the sensor by the medium flowing past it is calculated.
Through the amount of heat removed, the flow rate or accumulated air consump
tion is determined and shown on the display. The connection to higherlevel sys
tems is implemented through 2 binary outputs (OutA/OutB) and one analogue
output. Switching points can be defined for both binary outputs. Switching points
for both binary outputs are possible for flow rate measurement, a consumption
switching pulse for output A (OutA) is possible for cumulative air consumption
measurement. The combination of cumulative air consumption measurement
(OutA) and flow rate measurement (OutB) is possible. The flow value is output via
the analogue output.
7 Assembly
