PART I: SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

General Function description:

The Equflow S/601 F1 – F2 Flow controller enables measuring flow-velocity and totalizing transferred liquids, by measuring the flow with a flow meter. Key functions (F1 version):

Measuring 1 flow velocity, including totalizing transferred liquid volume.

Monitoring flow process parameters like minimum and maximum flow rates.

Controlling leak detection with programmable setpoints.

Generating an internal or/and external alarm if a setpoint exceeds.

Data logging (only if provided with a communication X-port and software)

Displaying actual flow and totalized volume F2 version: Like the F1 version but for 2 channels

Optional Data acquisition:

Flow velocity versus time and totalized volumes are stored in the S/601 memory. By adding an optional X-communication port, data can be exported to a network or PC and the S/601 unit will have its own IP address. The standard S/601 is not provided with an X-port connection. This should be ordered together with the S/601 controller and will be integrated on request. Ask your supplier for extra information or send an email to [email protected].

Mounting and connection:

If possible, mount the controller in a dry and clean location. Avoid direct sunlight on the flow meter as it may affect the readings.

Check all electrical connections (see part II, page 5 of this manual) before switching on the power. Power supply = 24VDC.

Use the appropriate cable connections to connect flow meter to the S/601 Flow controller. Cable connections can be found in part II, page 5.

Parameters:

Because the S/601 F1 - F2 Flow controller can be used in multiple applications and modes of operation, the appropriate parameters (K-factor, display functions, alarm settings, etc..) must be programmed prior to use.

3. Calibrate Flow meter(s)

Complete parameter set-up before calibration. Calibration liquid should be the same liquid intended for use.

Procedure for Automatic calibration:

1. Set up flow meter as shown in figure 1; 2. Press start on S601 controller; 3. Start pump at calibration flow rate and wait until the flow is stable; 4. Collect liquid in graduated cylinder for < 1 minute; 5. Stop the pump; 6. Press stop on S601 controller; 7. Press prog to enter programming mode and browse to “calibrate sensor” (1 or 2); 8. Change the volume shown into the actual measured volume and press prog; 9. Press stop until back at idle screen;

PART III : PROGRAMMING AND OPERATING

Programming instructions S/601 F1 – F2 Flow controller

Activate the controller by switching on the on/off button on the right-side of the housing.

The display shows the name and version-number of the controller. After a few seconds the display shows:

o F1 version: actual flow (F1) and the total flow (T1) 1

o F2 version: actual flow (F1) and actual flow (F2)

How to program:

Press prog to enter programming-mode.

Select the preferred function to adjust, by scrolling the menu using V or Ʌ, followed by prog. Now each digit can be adjusted by using V or Ʌ, directly followed by pressing prog to save the

digit (after adjusting each digit).

To cancel an adjustment or go back to the previous menu; press start/stop

In order to protect your adjustments and store data always press prog to save settings after making an adjustment in PIN mode.

Adjusting some higher level settings a PIN code must be used at the function ”Login with pin” PIN codes: 0001 = access to Machine Operator mode 0022 = access to Technician mode

PART IV. ALARM MESSAGES

Alarm and Alarm messages

In case of an alarm, the controller will respond as follows:

1 Display text will show the alarm message. 2 The red alarm-led F1 or F2 will light. 3 The system buzzer will beep. 4 The alarm output [4] will trigger (NPN).

An alarm will only be generated if the controller is in start mode by pressing [Start]. An alarm will be turned off if the value programmed is 0 (zero).

What to do in case of an alarm

1 Write down the text displayed. 2 Press Stop button to release alarm. 3 Solve the problem.

Alarm messages and possible causes

Alarm messages

Alarm Text Possible cause Solution

Min or max flow

The controller is expecting a flow but does not measure one; or The flow is too high (max flow); or The flow is too low (min flow);

Valve does not open, pump start

Sensor gives no signal

Pump not running (Air pressure?)

Tank empty

Filter blocked?

Depends on what caused the alarm. Solve problem depending alarm cause.

External alarm Controller received a stop command from the external input. Solve external issue.
