The SL5101 Airflow Monitor from ifm electronic gmbh is designed for reliable airflow monitoring in ventilation systems, particularly in building automation applications. It features a cylindrical design with a process connection diameter of 23 mm. The device operates on a voltage of 24 VDC and has a power consumption of 0.19 VA.
The monitor provides a relay output that is energized when airflow is detected, with a contact rating of 3 A at 30 VDC or 250 VAC. It has a measuring range of 100 to 1000 cm/s and a setting range of 100 to 400 cm/s, with a maximum temperature gradient of 3 K/min. The response time is specified at 3 seconds, and the power-on delay time is 60 seconds.
The SL5101 is suitable for ambient temperatures ranging from -10 to 50 °C and can withstand a maximum relative humidity of 100%. It is housed in a PBT casing with a titanium sensor surface, providing an IP65 protection rating. The device includes a function display with red and green LEDs and comes with a 2-meter PUR/PVC cable for electrical connection. The product is manufactured in Germany and has a mean time to failure (MTTF) of 1202 years.

SENSOR FLOW AIR 1~10 M/S
The SL5101 compact flow monitor from ifm ensures the optimum air flow thanks to easy setting in a range from 100-1,000 cm/s via potentiometer. The immersion depth into the duct can be flexibly varied via the supplied mounting clamp. Titanium sensing faces ensure reliable operation, even with aggressive air, at a medium temperature from -10-50 °C. The SL5101 airflow monitor is available in the electrical design 24 V DC with a 2 m PUR/PVC connection cable. Typically the airflow monitor is used for airflow monitoring in ventilation systems and/or suction operations.
