Monitor keeps check on critical coolant
The SU series of flow monitors is ideal for critical processes such as welding systems, induction furnaces, injection moulders, high-value laser cutting equipment and more.
A reliable flow of cooling water is critical to welding systems, induction furnaces, injection moulders, high-value laser cutting equipment and more The new SU series from IFM Electronic can help ensure that the flow is maintained by providing an alarm if there is even the slightest change in either the flow rate, or the temperature of the water

Water meter measures exact flow rates
Maintaining the balance of water flow through a distributed system, injecting just the right amount of water into a mix, or simply metering consumption are typical tasks for the new SU series.
Gateways take control of AS-i slaves
AS-i gateways come with M4 master profile support for all AS-i slaves from specifications 1.0 to 3.0.
Capacitive sensors can see through walls
Sensors from are optimised for the detection of conductive media through nonmetallic walls or on bypasses.
Renowned for its innovative sensors, leading supplier IFM Electronic has incorporated an accurate ultrasonic sensor and state-of-the-art electronics into an industrial housing with standard process and electrical connections, providing versatile solution to many water flow headaches.
As the SU series has no moving parts, clogging associated with suspended particles in the water will not trouble it.
The SU series boasts a highly-visible display of the flow rate, and a selection of outputs to provide switched alarms for flow rate or temperature as PNP or NPN signals, selectable normally open or normally closed and for which the user can adjust the hysteresis.
In addition, a scalable analogue (4 to 20mA or 0 to 10V) signal or a pulse can be used to externally monitor the flow rate.
The electrical connection is a standard M12 connector, while process connections are standard 0.5 or 0.75in fittings.
All other features, such as IP65 seal, robust housing, high EMC level, full protection of the electronics from short-circuits or overloads, are of the highest standards expected of IFM Electronic. Request a free brochure from IFM Electronic ...
