Series FA® Optical Bi-Stable Flow Alarm Sensors

2024-09-24

●Description

■The patented M&C forked light barrier FA-1/2/3, bi consists of a compact aluminium body with a fixed, open prism and a pressure screw. This makes positioning of the sensor FA-1/2/3, bi on the flow meter’s measuring glass very easy; it is not necessary to disas- semble the measuring glass. Three basic ver- sions cover a measuring glass diameter range from 5 to 55 mm [≈ 0.2” to 2.2”]. 

■Within the sensor’s body, a mechanically pro- tected, high-intensity LED is mounted on the left side as a light source and two photo- transistors are mounted on the opposite side as receivers. 

■The standard 3 meter long connection cable exits on the left side adjacent to the pressure screw. The LED emitters’ light beam is incident on the photo-transistors through the flow measuring glass. As soon as a floating ball breaks the light beam, one or both of the photo-transistors are blanked out. 

■The necessary FA-1... electronic controllers analyze this status change accordingly. The bi-stable operation of the FA-1... electronic controllers ensures detection of the set flow rate in the event of measured values fall- ing below or exceeding this setpoint with the sensor in any position. The mono-stable operation of the FA-1... electronic controller indicates only whether the floating body is located in the light beam of the light barrier, above or below it.

■A special sensor head FA2-H is supplied for temperatures up to +180 °C [356 °F]. The sensor head contains a light guide on the right and left side via which the incident and emergent light is conducted by the transmitter/receiver located externally in a separate adapter in the “cold area“.

●Special Features

■Easy mounting without dismantling the measuring glass

■Also for very low flow quantities

■Even for non-metallic or very small floating balls

■Easy adjustment of any alarm setpoint
