Specifications are subject to alteration without notice
The q-DYSA®flow sensor is supplied if the LQLB and LQLF fan is or-
dered with flow sensor (code suffix d = 5, 6).
The accuracy of the flow sensor is ± 7% of the differential pressure
reading provided that the installation and maintenance instructions are
observed. The analogue indicator instrument shows the air pressure in
m
3
/sec.
INSTALLATION
Vertically mount the instrument on a wall or against a panel on the unit
and secure it by means of the screws supplied. The horizontal position
of the instrument can be adjusted by means of the built-in level.
FILLING WITH MANOMETER LIQUID
Back off the resetting screw completely and then screw it in three full
turns. This will enable zero setting adjustment in both directions. Re-
move the filling screw. Fill the instrument with the manometer liquid
supplied, pouring the liquid into the filler hole until the level of liquid
reaches the zero setting.
CHECKS
The zero setting of the manometer should be checked at regular in-
tervals. To check the zero setting, remove the hoses connected to the
pressure connections of the manometer. Whenever the need arises,
use the resetting screw to adjust the zero setting. Top up with ma-
nometer liquid, if required
The measurement nozzle should be blown clean with compressed air
once or twice a year depending on the quality of the air. This can eas-
ily be done by disconnecting the hoses from the instrument and blow-
ing them with compressed air to free the air passages from impurities.
Another type of pressure gauge may also be connected for use as an
alternative meter or for checking the performance of the flow indicating
instrument. In this case, fit T-nipples in the hoses to the indicating in-
strument and run hoses from them to the pressure gauge. The air flow
can be calculated by the expression:
q = 1 · √ Δp
k
m
3
/s
where the value of k is stated on the unit rating plate and Δp is the
measurement pressure in Pa.
TEMPERATURE CORRECTION
The flow scale on the indicator instrument and the above flow equation
are applicable to air at a temperature of +20 °C. At other air tempera-
tures, the flow must be corrected with the formula:
q = q
20
· √ (273 + t) m
3
/s
293
where q = the actual flow through the fan, q
20
= the flow reading and
t = the present temperature in °C.

Refit the filling screw and tighten it. If you have filled the instrument
with too much manometer liquid and cannot adjust the zero setting to
the proper position, insert a pipe cleaner or the like in the filler hole to
remove excessive liquid or pour out a slight amount of liquid.
HOSE CONNECTIONS
The 4 mm i.d. hoses supplied should be cut to the appropriate length
and should be connected from the nipples on the upper frame mem-
ber on the inspection side to the nipples on the instrument, plus to
plus and minus to minus. Fasten the hoses as appropriate so that they
cannot be damaged or kinked.
CAUTION!
Do not use any type of liquid other than the manometer
liquid supplied. Use the resetting screw for fine adjust-
ment of the zero setting.
