2. Note
Please read these operating instructions before unpacking and putting the unit into
operation. Follow the instructions precisely as described herein. The devices are only to be
used, maintained and serviced by persons familiar with these operating instructions and in
accordance with local regulations applying to Health & Safety and prevention of accidents.
When used in machines, the measuring unit should be used only when the machines fulfil
the EC-machine guidelines.

3. Instrument inspection
Instruments are inspected before shipping and sent out in perfect condition. Should damage
to a device be visible, we recommend a thorough inspection of the delivery packaging. In
case of damage, please inform your parcel service / forwarding agent immediately, since
they are responsible for damages during transit.
Scope of delivery:
The standard delivery includes:
• Variable area flow meter: URM
• Operating instructions
• Inductive switch (option)
4. Regulation use
Any use of the variable area flow meter, model: URM, which exceeds the manufacturers
specification, may invalidate its warranty. Therefore any resulting damage is not the
responsibility of the manufacturer. The user assumes all risk for such usage.

5. Operating principle
The Kobold URM model flowmeter/monitor works on the basis of the suspended float
principle. It is used for measuring the flow rates in closed pipe line systems.
The medium flows from below through a glass measuring cone that gets wider on top. Thus,
the float is raised and indicates the respective flow rate on the scale provided on the
measuring cone. To monitor flow rate limits, the URM meters can be optionally furnished with
“open collector“ proximity switches.
By its special design, this model is particularly suitable for applications where only
very small operating pressures are available. Another advantage is offered by the
very large sight glass which optically allows direct flow observation.
6. Mechanical connection
Before Installation:
• Remove all transportation safety locks and ensure that no packing material
remains within the unit.
• Be sure that the maximum allowable operating pressure and temperature is not
exceeded (see Technical data).
• Install the flow meter in the piping system, ensure the instrument is under no
mechanical stress/tension (install support bracing if necessary).
• Protect the measuring tube from external damage.
• Avoid pressure peaks in the measuring tube, e.g. from sudden surges or stoppage
of flow.
• If possible, immediately after making mechanical connections, check whether the
connections are properly sealed with no evidence of leakage
7. Electrical connection
7.1. Inductive switch (option)
• Make sure that the supply wires are de-energized.
• housing.

URM K04/0817 page 5
8. Operation
In order to initialise the inductive switch function, it is essential that the float
activates the contact once in each direction.
Adjustment of limit-values
The switch-point can be adjusted to the desired levels by using.
Reference edge: approx. the middle of the sensor.
Slide the switch housing up or down until the reference edge coincides with the desired
switch-point scale reading.
Overranging
With non-pulsating flow, the maximum flow rate can be exceeded. Only an increase in
pressure loss will result (max. permissible operating pressure must not be exceeded!)
9. Maintenance
If the medium to be measured is clean, the series URM is virtually maintenance-free. If
deposits form on the inner housing or parts, periodic cleaning of the unit is recommended.
Remove the units from the piping with a suitable tool; clean the flow meter with a suitable
cleaning agent or make use of an ultrasonic bath.
