Page 12: Commissioning
In case that despite these steps a successful measurement is impossible, please contact SWR. • Commissioning of SolidFlow For start-up the sensor has to be calibrated and parameterized 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. - Page 13 Operating Instructions Alarms entered by the user in menu 2. Analog Output is modified in menu 3 and can be adjusted to the individual requirements. (e. g. 0 - 20 mA) Auxiliary Points The linearisation can be examined by measuring the varying mass throughput. This should be weighed out in each single case for the improvement of the accuracy.
