Frequently Asked Questions

Welche Rohrdurchmesser und Prozessanschlüsse sind beim FlowGuard FT480 verfügbar?

Standard-Version: DN10-400 mit Flansch EN1092 (PN10-PN40), Gewinde EN 10226-1, Sandwich-Anschluss. MID-Version: DN10-400 zertifiziert. Prozessanschlüsse: Flansch (Stahl/Edelstahl), Gewinde, Clamp DIN32676, Food-Grade DIN11851. Auskleidungen: Gummi (0-70°C), PTFE (-40 bis 130°C), ETFE (-25 bis 150°C), PFA (-25 bis 170°C) für verschiedene Medien.

Kann der FlowGuard FT480 in verschiedenen Einbaulagen montiert werden?

Vollständig lageunabhängig - horizontal, vertikal, schräg montierbar. Kompaktversion: Sensor + Auswerteeinheit direkt verbunden, max. 90°C Medientemperatur. Getrennte Ausführung: 3m Standardkabel (erweiterbar), bis 150°C Medientemperatur möglich. Umgebungsschutz: IP65 (Standard), IP67 (Front), IP68 (optional) für Untergrund-/Außenmontage.

Welche Wartungsintervalle sind beim FlowGuard FT480 einzuhalten?

Wartungsfreitechnologie: Keine beweglichen Teile, kein mechanischer Verschleiß. MID-Anforderungen: Periodische Eichung nach nationalen Bestimmungen (Deutschland: MessEG/MessEV). Empfohlene Kontrollen: Jährliche Sichtprüfung auf Korrosion, Elektroden-/Auskleidungszustand. Kalibrierung: Temperatursenoren-Paare werksseitig kalibriert, Feldaustausch ohne Nacheichung möglich.

Für welche Anwendungen ist der FlowGuard FT480 optimal geeignet?

Fernwärmenetze: Abrechnungsrelevante Wärmemengenmessung nach MID-Richtlinie. Kälteanlagen: Kältemengenerfassung für Bürogebäude, Industrieanlagen. Prozessindustrie: Energiemanagement in chemischen Anlagen, Kraftwerken. Gebäudetechnik: HLK-Anlagen, Wärmepumpen, BHKWs. Contracting: Energiedienstleister für präzise Verbrauchsabrechnung.

Was unterscheidet den FlowGuard FT480 von Standard-Durchflussmessern?

Wärmemengen-Spezialisierung: Integrierte Energieberechnung vs. reine Volumenmessung. Doppelt-Zertifizierung: MID + CE vs. nur CE bei Standard-Geräten. Temperatur-Integration: Kalibrierte Pt500-Sensoren integriert vs. separate Temperaturmessung. Archivfunktion: 176-Tage-Speicher vs. Momentanwerte. Tarifierung: Zeitabhängige Zählung vs. einfache Summierung.

Wie erfolgt die Systemintegration des FlowGuard FT480 in bestehende Leitsysteme?

M-Bus-Integration: Direktanschluss an Fernwärme-Zentralen, bis 250 Zähler pro Netzwerk. Modbus RTU: SPS-Integration (Siemens, Schneider, etc.) über RS485. Ausgänge: 4-20mA für Analogwert-Verarbeitung, 2×Puls/Switch für Energiezählung, 2×Status für Alarmmeldungen. Baud-Raten: 1200-9600 konfigurierbar, automatische Adress-Erkennung.

Welche Kommunikationsprotokolle unterstützt der FlowGuard FT480 und wie unterscheiden sich M-Bus und Modbus RTU?

M-Bus: EN 1434-3 kompatibel, 1200-9600 Baud, 250 Teilnehmer, speziell für Energiezähler entwickelt. Modbus RTU: Function Code 03h, 255 Slaves, CRC32-Checksumme, universeller Industriestandard. Beide Protokolle gleichzeitig nutzbar über RS485-Interface. M-Bus ideal für Fernwärme-Leitsysteme, Modbus für SPS-Integration.

Was bedeutet die MID-Zertifizierung beim FlowGuard FT480 und warum ist sie für Wärmemengenmessung wichtig?

Die MID-Zertifizierung nach EN 1434-3 qualifiziert den FlowGuard FT480 für abrechnungsrelevante Wärmemengenmessung in Fernwärmenetzen. Accuracy Class 2 gewährleistet ≤0,5% Genauigkeit für präzise Energieabrechnung. Konformitätsbewertung nach Modulen B+D, H1 oder B+F ermöglicht europaweiten Einsatz. Ohne MID-Zertifikat ist kommerzielle Wärmeabrechnung rechtlich nicht zulässig.
