EGE Elektronik Sensor Amplifiers Productseries SKM 421 GR

The EGE Elektronik SKM 421 GR provides a higher level of process security by evaluating two critical variables from a single sensing point.

Description

The EGE Elektronik SKM 421 GR provides a higher level of process security by evaluating two critical variables from a single sensing point. While standard amplifiers only report whether a medium is moving, the SKM 421 GR utilizes EGE’s dual-function probes to report both flow velocity and whether the media has exceeded a specific temperature threshold. This dual-logic approach is essential for cooling circuits where “flow” alone does not guarantee that heat is being effectively dissipated.

Features

  • Independent Calibration: Separate front-facing potentiometers for Flow and Temperature setpoints.

  • Integrated Switch-off Delay: Adjustable 0…25 second delay to prevent relay chatter during turbulent flow.

  • Diagnostic LED Array: Multi-color LEDs provide instant feedback on Power (green), Flow status (yellow), and Temperature alarm (red/yellow).

  • Sensor Line Monitoring: Automatically detects and signals cable breaks or short circuits to the probe.

Applications

  • Industrial Cooling Hubs: Monitoring flow and heat levels in heavy-duty welding or induction heating systems.

  • Hydraulic Power Units: Ensuring oil is circulating and remaining within safe operating temperatures.

  • Spindle Cooling: Protecting high-speed CNC spindles by verifying coolant delivery and temperature.
