7 General description
SKF Flowline monitor is an oil flow meter unit for controlling and measuring the flow rates of lubricants in oil
circulation lubrication systems. The monitor consists of 1 to 10 flow meters depending on the model. The mon-
itor has a local control unit with user’s interface for displaying the flow rates and setting the measuring param-
eters. Each flow meter has a LED display for indicating the flow status and alarms. The control unit includes a
common alarm output relay for connecting the flow alarm information to the customer’s process control sys-
tem.
The monitor can be equipped with a suitable optional module. The CAN-bus interface is for field bus commu-
nication with the customer's process control system and SKF Flowline software. The Relay-CAN module is for
versatile common or individual alarm outputs and field bus communication. The mA-output module provides
flow rates as 4-20mA analog signals.

SKF Flowline monitor FL15
The SKF Flowline monitor FL15 is designed for 0,1 - 15 l/min flow range. FL15 monitor is comprised of a con-
trol unit and a number of flow meters connected to the control unit. There can be 2, 4, 6, 8 or 10 flow meters
( fig. 2).
