The IFM Efector SI5000 is a calorimetric flow sensor designed for industrial monitoring of liquids and gases. Featuring a robust stainless steel M18 threaded housing and a parameterizable PNP output, it integrates directly with PLCs and control systems for precise flow detection from 3-300 cm/s (liquid) and 200-3000 cm/s (gas).

Features

  • Calorimetric sensing principle for reliable flow/no-flow detection in liquids and gases.
  • Durable stainless steel housing with M18 x 1.5 internal thread for direct pipeline mounting.
  • Parameterizable PNP NO/NC switching output compatible with 19-36V DC industrial systems.
  • Integrated LED bar graph provides intuitive visual indication of flow status and switch point.
  • IP67 protection rating ensures reliable operation in harsh, wet industrial environments.

Description

The IFM Efector SI5000 utilizes a calorimetric (thermal) sensing principle, where an integrated heating element and temperature sensors detect the cooling effect of a flowing medium. This provides a reliable binary (flow/no-flow) or analog-proportional signal, making it ideal for monitoring cooling circuits, lubrication systems, and compressed air lines.

Engineered for industrial durability, its stainless steel construction and IP67 rating protect against water, dust, and typical chemical exposure. The sensor includes reverse polarity, overload, and short-circuit protection for enhanced electrical robustness in demanding automation and process control applications.

Key Features

  • Calorimetric flow sensor for both liquid and gas media monitoring.
  • Wide measurement ranges: 3-300 cm/s for liquids and 200-3000 cm/s for gases.
  • Stainless steel housing with M18 x 1.5 internal threaded process connection.
  • Parameterizable PNP switching output (NO/NC) configurable via pushbutton.
  • Integrated 5-segment LED bar graph for immediate flow status visualization.
  • IP67 protection rating for use in wet and dusty industrial environments.
  • Comprehensive electrical protection: reverse polarity, overload, and pulsed short-circuit.
  • 45mm probe length for optimal immersion into the process flow.

Applications

  • Monitoring coolant flow in machine tool spindles and CNC machining centers.
  • Detecting flow/no-flow conditions in industrial lubrication and hydraulic systems.
  • Protecting pumps from dry-running by monitoring liquid supply lines.
  • Monitoring compressed air flow in pneumatic systems and tooling.
  • Process control and alarm triggering in chemical dosing and water treatment systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating voltage range for the IFM Efector SI5000 sensor?

The SI5000 requires a 19-36V DC supply. It includes integrated reverse polarity and overload protection, making it suitable for standard 24V DC industrial control panels and PLC power rails.

How do I configure the PNP output (NO/NC) on this flow sensor?

The output is parameterizable via a pushbutton on the sensor head. You can set the switching logic (normally open or normally closed) and the flow rate switch point according to your application requirements, with the setting visualized on the integrated LED bar graph.

Can the SI5000 be used with both liquids and gases?

Yes, it is designed for both media types. The measurement range is 3-300 cm/s for liquids and 200-3000 cm/s for gases. Ensure the media is compatible with stainless steel and the sensor's operating temperature range.

What is the process connection and how is it installed?

The sensor features an M18 x 1.5 internal thread for direct installation into a tapped port on a pipeline or manifold. For non-threaded pipes, compatible M18 adapters (saddle types, etc.) are available from IFM Efector and other industrial suppliers.
