cannot be cleaned and will be exchanged if 
they are soiled. In case of compressed air 
counters with integrated measuring section 
the "measuring device" cannot be removed. 
For this reason an expensive bypass line is 
necessary. 
New. The design of VA 420 enables the 
removal and cleaning of the "measuring 
device" with e. g. soap water without any 
dismounting of the measuring section. 
A closing cap grants a continuous use 
of the line for the duration of the cleaning. 
A bypass line is not necessary. 
The alignment pin grants an accurate
installation of the measuring device.
The approved consumption sensor VA 400 
is available for pipe diameters of 2" to DN 
300. Its constructively sophisticated design 
enables the installation into pipes with 
nominal diameters up to DN 300 even under 
pressure. The installation is effected by 
means of a standard ½" ball valve.
By means of quick couplings the com-
pressed air counter can be integrated 
quickly into the feed hose of a machine. 
During the shutdown of the machine it is 
possible to determine the leak rate, the 
actual consumption can be obtained when 
the machine is running. The power supply 
is effected via the power socket by means 
of the mains unit. For data recording over 
a longer period of time we recommend to 
use the compressed air analyzer DS 300 
mobile. 
For stationary use there are the following 
outputs available for the data transfer to a 
building management system or PLC: 
4…20 mA for actual consumption.
Pulse output (galvanically separated) 
for the total consumption.

Mobile use
In most cases the compressed air in not 
free from oil, condensate, dirt and particles. 
In the course of time this leads to a soiling 
of the compressed air counters which may 
cause errors in measurement or even a 
total breakdown.

been on the market up to now generally
