Baumer has expanded its range of conductivity meters by adding a new model, the CombiLyz version AFI5. This innovative device features an inductive sensing element and a transmitter equipped with an integrated CombiView display. Unlike previous versions, these components can be installed separately and connected via a cable, offering greater flexibility.

Key Features and Benefits of the CombiLyz AFI5

The ability to install the transmitter and inductive sensor independently allows for optimal positioning. The sensor can be seamlessly integrated into the process, while the transmitter with its display is designed to withstand vibrations. This design ensures clear readability and extends the device’s lifespan. The CombiView display supports wall or tube installation, enabling adjustments to any angle as needed.

The AFI5 model also excels in challenging environments. It operates reliably even at ambient temperatures up to 85°C and maintains precise measurements under extreme conditions—including limited spaces and high-vibration applications. This makes it particularly suitable for industries where durability and accuracy are critical.

Technical Specifications

  • Measurement Ranges: The device supports 14 selectable ranges, from 500 µS/cm to 1,000 mS/cm, covering conductivity, temperature, current output, switching states, and device status.
  • Accuracy: Measurement results have a maximum deviation of <1%.
  • Response Time: Conductivity measurements respond in under 0.3 seconds, while temperature readings take less than 15 seconds.
  • Display System: The background color mimics a traffic light system (red/green), alerting users to critical values that require attention.

Hygienic Design and Applications

Like its compact predecessor, the AFI5 boasts an IP 69K protection class and is entirely made of stainless steel. This ensures it can handle even the harshest conditions, such as CIP (Clean-in-Place) and SIP (Sterilize-in-Place) processes. It is also ideal for monitoring liquid concentrations or separating phases in various media.

Conclusion

The CombiLyz AFI5 represents a significant advancement in conductivity measurement technology. Its flexible installation options, robust performance, and user-friendly features make it an invaluable tool across industries requiring precise and reliable measurements—especially in demanding environments.
