Table 1

Connection to the pipe system is carried out by the internal threads on

both sides of the base body, suitable extended measuring sections are

offered by SCHMIDT Technology as optional accessory (see Table 2).

The IL 30.0xx measures both volume flow as well as the temperature of

pure air and other inert

gases which are classified in fluid group 2 accord-

ing to the Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU (PED), i.e. no

chemically aggressive components or abrasive particles are included.

The sensor and the aforementioned measuring sections are designed for

a maximum operating pressure of 16 bar and are covered by article 4,

paragraph 3 of the PED. Accordingly, the devices are designed and man-

ufactured in accordance with the sound engineering practice.

The sensor is based on the measuring principle of a thermal anemometer

and measures the standard volume flow of the measuring medium which

is output in a linear way as standard (respective: Norm) volume flow 

󰇗

(unit: m3/h), referred to standard conditions of TN= 1013.25 hPa and pN=

20 °C. Thus, the resulting output signal is independent of the pressure and

temperature of the measured medium.

The sensor features several special properties, notably due to the unique

Multi-Point-Measurement design (MPM) of its sensor elements:

o Best measurement results even in not fully smoothened air flows

o Excellent sensitivity

o High measurement dynamics

When using the sensor outdoors, it must be protected against

direct exposure to the weather.

Check suitability in individual cases.

3 Mounting instructions

General information on handling

The SCHMIDT®Volume Flow Sensor IL 30.0xx is a precision instrument

with high measuring sensitivity, which can be achieved only by a delicate

structure of its measuring probes. Therefore, applying mechanical forces

to the probe tips inside the housing should be avoided if possible. In case

of cleaning by the customer, this should preferably be made contactless

(e.g. with a spray) or only with appropriate care.

The sensor probes should not be touched or exposed to any

other mechanical effects.

Likewise, a touch can cause electrical damage to the ESD-sensitive sen-

sor elements.

The sensor probes can be damaged by ESD.

To protect the sensitive inside, SCHMIDT Technology delivers the sensor

with protective caps placed into both ends of its body which should be

removed only before final installation. And vice versa when dismounting

the sensor the protective caps should be attached in place immediately.

In general, great care is required when handling the sensor.

The housing of the sensor is made of anodized aluminium. This ensures

a low-friction screw-in of the installation pipes into the housing. Due to the

softness of the material, however, the thread windings could be irreversi-

bly damaged when tilting the pipes while screwing in.

The threads of the sensor body can take irreversible damage if

handled incorrectly, i.e. by tilting pipes when screwing in.

If the sensor is installed without the extended measurement sections,

which are offered optionally by SCHMIDT Technology, the dimensions

and tolerances prescribed by the manufacturer must be observed strictly

for the customized installation.

Corresponding dimensional drawings are available as download from

www.schmidt-sensors.com or www.schmidttechnology.de

The mounting position of the sensor is arbitrary.

Instructions for Use - SCHMIDT®Volume Flow Sensor IL 30.0xx Page 6

Systems with overpressure

The IL 30.0xx is designed for a maximum working pressure of 16 bar. As

long as the measuring medium is operated with overpressure, make sure

that:

There is no overpressure in the system during installation.

Only appropriately pressure-tight mounting accessories are used.

All connections to pressurized systems are checked for pressure tight-

ness from time to time.

Mounting and dismounting of the sensor can be carried out only

as long as the system is in depressurized state.

The extended measuring sections, which are optionally available from

SCHMIDT Technology (see subchapter Accessories), are delivered with

two O-Rings which are intended as pressure seals for easy installation

(must be applied by customer). If the customer uses his own pipes, suita-

ble installation and sealing equipment must be used (e.g. sealing tape). In

any case take care that the threads are screwed into the housing without

tilting, to avoid damaging of the sensor body. Furthermore, before apply-

ing pressure, the sensor must be checked for a safe and firm installation.

After pressurization check for any leakages and eliminate them immedi-

ately if there are some.

Before applying pressure, make sure that all screw connections

are firmly seated and cannot be loosened. Unscrewing while the

system is under pressure can damage the sensor and can also

result in serious harm to your health.

The pressure sealing parts of the installation have to be checked

regularly for pressure tightness and safe installation.

Flow characteristics

Local turbulences of the medium can cause distortion of measurement

results. The resulting measurement distortions are reduced to a minimum

by the special sensor design “MPM” (Multi-Point-Measurement –all vari-

ants except IL 30.005). In order to get maximum accuracy it’s neverthe-

less advisable to smooth turbulences of the gas flow before applying it to

the sensor.

The simplest method is to provide a sufficiently long distance both in front

of (run-in distance) as well as behind the sensor (run-out distance) abso-

lutely straight and without disturbances.

The absolute length of the respective distances is indicated as a multiple

of the inner diameter D of the pipe.

Instructions for Use - SCHMIDT®Volume Flow Sensor IL 30.0xx Page 7

For optimal measurement results it is recommended to provide standard

distances of at least 10•D before and 5•D after the sensor. Using sensor

types with MPM these distances can be reduced to at least 3•D before

and 3•D after it in case of modest sources of disturbance (e.g. 90° arcs).

If this is not possible, the run-in distance should take up ⅔of the available

measuring length and the run-out distance ⅓of it.

In particular, care must be taken to ensure that the inner diameters of the

attached pipes correspond exactly to that of the sensor. Steps in the pipe

cross-section lead to strong deviations of measurement results and re-

quire longer inlet distances.

Accessories for installation

Table 3 Pin assignment

The specified lead colours are valid for connecting cables from SCHMIDT

Technology (see subchapter Accessories).

During electrical installation ensure that no voltage is applied and

inadvertent activation is not possible.

The plug housing, and thus also a possibly screen of a plugged connection

cable, is electrically connected to the metal housing of the sensor.

The appropriate protection class III (SELV) respective PELV

(according EN 50178) has to be considered.

The spigot nut is located at the connecting cable.

Instructions for Use - SCHMIDT®Volume Flow Sensor IL 30.0xx Page 9

Power supply

For proper operation the sensor requires direct voltage with a nominal

value of 24 V with permitted tolerance of ±10 %.

Deviating values lead to deactivation of measuring of the volume flow or

even to defects and, therefore, should be avoided. As far as it is function-

ally possible, the LED indication reports the faulty operational conditions

(see chapter 5).

Only operate sensor within the defined range of supply voltage

(US= 24 VDC ± 10 %).

Undervoltage may result in malfunction; overvoltage can lead to

irreversible damage.

Specifications for operating voltage apply to the connection at the sensor.

Voltage drops generated due to line resistances must be considered by

the customer.

The operating current

of the sensor is at minimum 25 (15) mA up to a

maximum of 300 (180) mA.

Wiring of analogue outputs

Both analogue outputs (volume flow and temperature of medium) are de-

signed as short-circuit protected current interfaces (4 …20 mA).

The respective load RLmust be connected to the reference potential

(GND) of the sensor.

Load specification: RL≤500 ; CL≤10 nF

Wiring of impulse output

The pulse output (volume) is designed as highside driver (P-MOSFET,

open drain) connected to the (reverse protected) operating voltage. The

output is protected by two methods, a serial diode against higher external

voltage as well as generally by an analogue current limitation with a limit

of typical 50 mA (max. 65 mA).

The load has to be connected to GND.

Module connector

The SCHMIDT®Volume Flow Sensor IL 30.0xx comes with an additional

connector (M12, female, A-coded, 5-pin) for connecting optional expan-

sion modules (see Figure 1).

Only expansion modules from SCHMIDT Technology may be

connected to the module connector.
