Operating Instructions

6. Commissioning

For start-up the measurement system it is necessary to adjust the sensor to the local conditions. After
•
switching on the power supply there is at least a warm-up time about 15 minutes required before any
adjustment starts.
Please check again:
The correct cabling between sensor and the evaluation unit.
•
The correct adjustment of the wall thickness at the sensor.
•
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. Following a short introduction to the overview:
By leaving the menu level and confirming the memory function in menu 8 all values changed are
transferred.

The menu is started by an invisible key in the upper right corner of the
touch-screen-panel. Now press approx. 5 seconds until the menu
appears. If the temperature indication is activated, the button for the
temperature indication is in the upper right corner, in this case must be changed
into the temperature indication first, in order to be able to access the menu.
It is sufficient to carry out a two-point-calibration (normally min and max).
Enter the data in menu 4.2.
Set point 1 to 0, with no material flow but system running.
Set point 2 to known maximum flow rate with normal conveying and calibrate as
well. (This value can be adjusted later on.)
Thus the basic function of the measuring system is given and it is now ready for
operation.
See menu 1, point 1 to 3 for the adjustments to the individual local conditions
regarding material, measuring units, etc.
The initial values are defined in the menu points 1.5 and 1.6.
The output value (current / voltage) is assigned to the measuring range here.
Standard 0
Max
The measuring range filter is used for the adjustment to slower working devices
or for a continuous output of the analog output.
