  • Page 5: Introduction

    Output Signal The ASLD2200 provides a 4-20 mA output signal that is proportional to the location of the top of the sludge blanket. With a normal setup the 4mA value relates to the bottom of the tank and 20 mA to the water surface.
  • Page 6: Mechanical Overview

    CONNECTIONS AC MAINS FUSE DISC CONNECTIONS The ASLD2200 is composed of three component assemblies: The external cable drum and sensor, the motor drive and encoder assembly, and the control electronics enclosure. Page 6 of 30 103370IM Issue 10 Date 19/03/2018...
  • Page 7: Principle Of Operation

    2 Principle of Operation The ASLD2200 uses a Suspended Solids sensor to detect the density of the sludge & hence the position at which the density makes a step change (the interface): The instrument moves the sensor to a point that is just above the interface, (low SS), then lowers the sensor below the interface, (high SS), to confirm the position of said interface.

    3 ASLD2200 Selection 3.1 Sensor Selection The ASLD2200 is supplied with a IR sensor; the correct sensor should have been selected before purchase. If you are in any doubt about the sensor that has been supplied please contact Partech. Sensor replacement in the field is easy to carry out; the table below indicates the normal application of the each of the four sensor ranges.

    ASLD2200 - Instruction Manual 4 Control Settings The principle control during operation is the rotary switch; this allows the user to select the following operations PANEL – WITH DISPLAY & CONTROL In ‘AUTOMATIC’ mode the instrument will continually monitor the suspended solids density and will move the sensor up and down to track the sludge blanket interface.
  • Page 11: Up And Down Buttons

    ASLD2200 - Instruction Manual Up and Down Buttons The ASLD 2200 has 2 sets of Up and Down buttons; one set is on the outside of the enclosure the other set is on the main printed circuit board (protruding above the front panel). Both sets have the same function. These buttons are normally used to aid cleaning of the sensor by bringing the sensor to the surface.
  • Page 12: Installation

    5 Installation 5.1 Location The ASLD2200 is housed in an IP55 GRP outer enclosure and is suitable for mounting on the bridge of settlement tanks. The electronics for the monitor are housed within an inner IP65 enclosure. It is recommended that the monitor be mounted approximately half way between the centre and the outside wall of the tank, on the leading edge.

    ASLD2200 - Instruction Manual Links The circuit board has two sets of links (LINK_A & LINK_B), and a ‘Reset Mode’ switch that need to be set in the correct position for the application. RESET LINK A MODE SWITCH LINK B POSITION OF PCBA MOUNTED LINKS &...
  • Page 16: Calibration

    ASLD2200 - Instruction Manual 7 Calibration Calibration is carried out in 2 stages; firstly set the zero point, then the 100% value. As the sensor is going to be lowered to the bottom of the tank it is important that attention is paid to any hazards such as moving scrapers below the surface of the tank.
  • Page 17: Scraper Clearance

    The ASLD2200 allows the user to instruct the sensor to rise to 100% to allow the scraper to pass and then return to the tank to continue measurement.
