The 7MH7560-3AB01 is a SITRANS AS100 acoustic sensor designed for non-invasive flow detection in industrial processes. This sensor monitors acoustic emissions generated by material flow, allowing for early detection of flow changes, blockages, or equipment malfunctions. By identifying these issues in real-time, the SITRANS AS100 helps prevent costly downstream damage and unexpected system downtime. Engineered for reliability, this model features an extended temperature range of -40 degC to +125 degC and comes with a 4-meter (13.12 ft) integrated cable. It is supplied with a mounting disk for secure attachment to process piping or vessels.

Features

• Flow Detection: Acoustic-based monitoring of material movement.
• Temperature Range: Operates effectively in extreme conditions from -40 degC to +125 degC.
• Easy Installation: Includes a mounting disk for reliable coupling to the application surface.
• Connectivity: Pre-wired with a 4-meter (13.12 ft) cable.
• Maintenance: Non-invasive design reduces the need for process interruptions.

Applications

• Detection of material flow changes in pipes.
• Monitoring of gravity-fed lines and pneumatic transport systems.
• Early warning for pipeline blockages or material bridging.
• Detection of equipment wear or mechanical failure via acoustic signatures.

Technical Specifications

Installation Guidelines

• Surface Preparation: Ensure the mounting surface is clean, flat, and free of debris to allow for optimal acoustic coupling between the sensor and the pipe/vessel.
• Mounting: Use the provided mounting disk to securely fix the sensor in place. Ensure there is sufficient contact pressure to facilitate clear signal transmission.
• Cable Routing: Route the 4-meter cable away from high-voltage power lines or sources of heavy electromagnetic interference (EMI) to maintain signal integrity.
• Orientation: Position the sensor at a location where flow-related vibrations are most prominent for the specific material being monitored.
