4 Application The S421 is the inline-type flow sensor that is designed to measure the consumption of compressed air and gases within the permissible operating parameters. (See chapter 6 Technical Data on the next page.) The S421 can measure the following values: • Volume flow of the compressed air or gas (default unit: m3/h) Total consumption of the compressed air or gas (default unit: m3) Other units can be configured by using the S4C-FS Android service app or the optional sensor display. The S421 flow sensor is mainly used in compressed air systems in industrial environment, and is not...

8 Determining the installation point 8 Determining the installation point To maintain the accuracy stated in the technical data, the sensor must be installed inline and fitted to tubes with the same diameter. Please make sure that it has unhindered flow characteristics. Unhindered flow characteristics are achieved if the section in front of the sensor (inlet) and behind the sensor (outlet) is sufficiently long, absolutely straight, and free of obstructions such as edges, seams, curves etc.. Please consider that enough space exists at your site for an adequate installation as described in...
