3. Instrument Inspection
Instruments are inspected before shipping and sent out in perfect condition.
Should damage to a device be visible, we recommend a thorough inspection of
the delivery packaging. In case of damage, please inform your parcel service /
forwarding agent immediately, since they are responsible for damages during
transit.
Scope of delivery:
The standard delivery includes:

4. Regulation Use
Any use of the Compact Vortex flow meter, model: DVZ, which exceeds the
manufacturer’s specifications, may invalidate its warranty. Therefore, any
resulting damage is not the responsibility of the manufacturer. The user assumes
all risk for such usage.
5. Operating Principle
The compact KOBOLD Vortex flow meter, model DVZ, is used for measuring and
monitoring smaller and medium-sized flow of low viscosity, water-like fluids in
pipes.
The device works using the vortex process, making it virtually maintenance-free.
This involves the installation of a sharp-edged object (the vortex generator) in the
flow duct. A vortex is created behind the object whose frequency is proportional
to the flow velocity of the fluid.
The flow volume can be determined with a very great degree of accuracy by
measuring the vortex frequency. This achieves a very high linearity across the
whole measuring range.
The device can be fitted with switching, frequency or analogue outputs. There is
also an optional compact electronics package that includes a digital display, and
both a switching and analogue output.

6. Mechanical Connection
6.1 Check operating conditions:
Flow rate
max. operating pressure
max. operating temperature
6.2 Installation
Remove all packing materials and transport retainers and ensure that no such
materials remain in the device.
Install with flow in direction of arrow
(universal mounting)
Avoid pressure and radial tension
Fasten the pipe at up stream and down
stream at a distance of 50 mm from the
connections
Attention! Retransfer the unit on
the metal bolting (not on the
plastic housing!) Mount switches
using the proper tightening
torque according the following
table!
Nominal size of
threads
Proper tightening torque
3/8” 22 to 24 Nm
1/2” 28 to 30 Nm
3/4” 28 to 30 Nm
1” 36 to 38 Nm
Note! The switch may be damaged if it is tightened above the
tightening torque range. Also, if it is tightened below the tightening
torque range, the connecting thread section may loosen.
Ensure inlet section of 10xDN and outlet section of 10xDN
Avoid valves or large reduction on the inlet section (this increases the
inaccuracy of measurements)
Check the seals of the connections
Attention! When used with an open output side, there is a danger of
cavitation.

7. Electrical Connection
7.1 General
Attention! Make sure that the voltage values of your system
correspond with the voltage values of the measuring unit.
Make sure that the supply wires are de-energised.
Connect the supply voltage and the output signal to the plug PIN’s as stated
below.
We recommend the use of wires with cross sectional area of min. 0,25 mm².
