CS Instruments DS 400 Flow Measurement For Compressed Air And Gases

Each factory needs compressed air, however, often it is not realized that compressed air is one of the most expensive types of energy.

Description

Compressed air is widely recognized as one of the most expensive types of energy in manufacturing, yet its consumption often goes unmonitored. The CS Instruments DS 400 Flow Measurement For Compressed Air And Gases holds an enormous potential for saving energy by shifting the focus from mere production to precise measurement and analysis.

This advanced chart recorder offers exceptional flexibility. It is equipped with 2 sensor inputs specifically for flow sensors or dew point sensors, and 2 additional inputs for pressure sensors, current meters, and other devices. The integrated 3.5″ graphic display with touch screen makes operation intuitive and shows data trends in graphic form, enabling immediate analysis without external software.

For comprehensive data management, the DS 400 features a USB interface for reading out data via a USB stick. Users can also opt for advanced communication features such as Ethernet and RS 485 interfaces utilizing the Modbus protocol, or a Webserver for remote access.
