About this Document
This manual describes the FLOWSIC600 measuring system, which is used to determine the
volumetric flow rate, volume and the speed of sound in gases transported in pipelines. It
provides general information on the measuring method employed, design and function of
the entire system and its components, and on planning, assembly, installation, calibration
commissioning, maintenance and troubleshooting. Also included is a detailed description
of the various system capabilities, options and settings which will assist in optimizing the
meter configuration for a specific application.
This manual covers standard applications which conform with the technical data specified.
Additional information and assistance for special applications are available from your SICK
representative. However, it is generally recommended to take advantage of qualified
consulting services provided by SICK experts for your specific application.
This operating manual is a part of the FLOWSIC600 device documentation. Which also
includes the following (optional, for trained staff only):
● FLOWSIC600 service manual,
● FLOWSIC600 extraction tool operating instructions,
● FLOWSIC600 MODBUS specification document,
