2. Function
      •    DensFlow HD is a measuring system especially developed for the measurement of high flow rates in
           dens phase conditions.
      •    DensFlow HD is working according to the latest microprocessor technology. By special capacitive
           linking of an electromagnetic wave a homogeneous measuring field is produced in the pipe.
      •    The electromagnetic wave brought into the pipe is reciprocally acting with the solid particles.
           These signals are evaluated in frequency and amplitude.
      •    The measurement of the solid speed is done by means of correlation. Two sensors are used for the
           generation of the correlation signals.
      •    A complete measuring unit consists of the sensor (measuring pipe) and the transmitter.
                                                                                                              3

6.	Commissioning
   ••   For start-up the measurement system it is necessary to adjust the sensor. After switching on the power
        supply there is at least a warm-up time of 15 minutes required before any adjustment starts.
Commissioning DensFlow HD
        For start-up the sensor has to be calibrated and parametrised to each product, which will be measured.
        It is necessary to assign the mass flow to the display and initial value. The menu functions are mostly
        self-explaining. Following a short introduction to the overview:
        By leaving the menu level and confirming the memory function all values changed are transferred.
        Basic function	        At least a two-point-calibration (normally zero and max) are sufficient for
        			                    measuring the density function. The velocity measurement is firmly defined as an 	
        				                   absolute measurement by the distance of the sensor plates and does not have to 	
        				                   be calibrated.
Zero point Start zero point calibration in no-flow condition with empty pipe.
        Velocity	              It is necessary and important to have a stable velocity output for operating
        			     	              point calibration. So if no stable velocity output is possible you have to switch
        				                   fixed velocity on. This fixed velocity value depends to the falling height parameter
        				                   which has to be set in menu point 1.7.
        Operating point	       Start operating point calibration during flow condition with known flow value.
        				                   It is possible to edit this value later.
        Analog output 1	       Is firmly configured for the measuring of the flow rate. The measuring range is
        				                   adjusted in menu point 3.1.1.
        				                   0	         = 4 mA
        				                   Max	       = 20 mA
        Analog output 2	       It is possible to configure for the measuring of the load or velocity.
        				                   The measuring range is adjusted in menu point 3.2.1.
        				                   0	        = 4 mA
        				                   Max	      = 20 mA
        Damping	               The measuring range filter is used for the adjustment to slower working devices 	
        				                   or for a continuous output of the analog output.
                                                                                                                  9
                                                                                                      Superior
                                                                                                         with
                                                                                                        Solids
To enable DensFlow HD for calculation a flow rate the following suppositions have to be given:
      ••   Stable working velocity measurement resp. fixed velocity if a stable velocity measurement is not possible
           due to bad conveying conditions.
•• Density measurement
As the operating-point calibration needs a stable velocity measurement too, within the first commissioning you
have to take care for this. Therefore some hints:
      ••   During flow the RMS values of the velocity signals have to be obvious higher than the noise level (NST,
           no signal threshold). There is no exact defined range, but, experienced values are about 1000 to 3000.
           If NST is now 500 or smaller a safe operating condition should be possible.
      ••   If velocity still fails, caused of bad conveying conditions, fixed velocity has to be activated. Therefore the
           parameter “falling height” has to be set, the system will calculate with this value an averaged velocity
           of fall. Also important in this context is the NST level (see standard display / V - velocity / S - speed
           adjustment / point 1. threshold). This level will now work like switch, RMS values above NST level will
           switch velocity on, values below will switch velocity to zero.
