DS 500 / DS 400
Easy operation via touchscreen:

Configuration of flow sensor

In the menu of the DS 500 / DS 400, the flow sensor
VA 5xx can be set to the respective pipe inside diame-
ter. Furthermore, the unit, the gas type and the reference
condition can be set. The meter reading can be set to
“zero” if necessary.

Graphic view
In the graphic view all measured values are indicated as
curves. It is possible to browse back on the time axis by a
slide of the finger (without data logger maximum 24 h, with
data logger back to the start of the measurement).

Data logger
With the option „integrated data logger“ the measured values
are stored in the DS 500 / DS 400. The time interval can be
freely set. Furthermore there is the possibility to fix the starting
time and the end time of the data recording. Read-out of the
measured data via USB interface or via the optional Ethernet
interface.

Selection of the language

DS 500 / DS 400 “speaks” several languages. The desired lan-
guage can be selected via the selection button.

All relevant parameters at a glance

In addition to the flow rate in m³ / h, the DS 500 / DS 400 also
displays other parameters such as total consumption in m³ and
speed in m/s.

Web server
The new webserver with substantially extended features for
the chart recorders DS 500 and DS 400 is available with
immediate effect. Users can thereby get direct access to their
measured data worldwide (current and historic ones) and dis-
play them on their smart phone, tablet or computer.

The new webserver can be ordered as an option with each

stationary DS 500/400, but also for their mobile devices. For
using the features of the webservers, the DS 500/400 must be
set up with it’s own IP address within the corporate network.

The web server in the DS 500/400 provides a website, which

displays the measured values. This website can be accessed
from smartphones, tablets and computers via the respectively
installed browser. Advantage: This is all possible without the
installation of any new or additional software.

View of the real time measured values View of the historic measured values as a single chart
(graphic table view) (time period freely selectable)

Access authorization
Different groups with different users/passwords can be assigned to different access levels.

Starting the data logger

In case of a stopped data logger the group operator or administrator can start the data logger remotely, via the web server.

PS: The new webserver can be retrofitted to any DS 500/DS 400 already in use.
