Explanation of symbols The following symbols and signal words are used in this user manual, on the S300 Series, or on the packaging. This symbol indicates a hazard, a hazardous situation, a precaution to avoid a hazard, a result of not avoiding a hazard or a combination of them.
It is ideal for applications where any disruption in normal operation may result in a variance in particle concentration in the process such as filter leak detection, process measurements or emissions monitoring in stacks. Sintrol S303 or S304 is the perfect instrument for monitoring the efficiency of this dust removal process.

Sintrol recommends to use the instrument only within the limits set forth in Chapter “5 Principle of operation, physical effects, and limitations” Sintrol also recommends that proper maintenance procedures and work practices be followed to maintain any dust control system in safe operating condition.
4 S303 and S304 Overview The instrument measures total suspended particles (TSP) in a conductive duct or pipe, based on a signal generated from moving particles. For parameterization and set up, S303 or S304 can be accessed via USB, RS485 or the optional wireless Radio Frequency (RF) communication with our DustTool software (available free of charge from our website www.sintrolproducts.com).
For explanation: In vertical ducts dust particle will center with increasing flow speeds towards the middle of the duct. In horizontal ducts large particles will concentrate on low flow speeds on the lower part of the duct. In order to capture this effect Sintrol recommends to use: ...
When moving particles pass nearby or hit the probe a signal is induced. This signal is then processed through a series of Sintrol’s advanced algorithms to filter out the noise and provide the most accurate dust measurement output.
DustTool/calibration. Influence of relative humidity RH %, condensation, and droplets in the measurement gas Due to the working principle of the S300 Series, the variation of relative humidity in the measurement gas only as long as there is no condensation...
Influence of flow velocity As an indication and averaging of different internal and external tests Sintrol Instruments with Inductive Electrification Technology show the uncompensated Influence of flow velocity as follows: Figure 4 Influence of Flow velocity On the S304 you have the possibility to connect the mA output signal of flow meter. This signal is used by the S304 for compensation.
(antenna pointing in the same direction, vertical or horizontal) in order to avoid polarization losses in the wireless communication. Any information given or implied by Sintrol in any way regarding installation points, the overall functionality of the system, or compatibility for a specific application are only suggestive and do not replace careful functionality checks and if necessary approval by an expert consultant.
Installation in a square duct Installation in a round duct Figure 7 Installation in a round duct Figure 6 Installation in a squared duct The sensor must not contact the opposite wall or any other obstacle inside the duct. The only allowed interaction with the sensor are dust particles.
7 Electrical Installation and Wiring Pay attention when choosing the cable. It must meet and be installed according to all locally applicable codes, and must be suitable for the environment it is going to be installed in. Always use a shielded cable when possible. Make sure to connect the shield to a protective earth potential at a single location.
Figure 10 Connecting 24 VDC Connecting Relays S300 Series devices are equipped with two dry-contact SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) relays. The contacts are labelled as A and B, and the common contact as C. The relays can be used to power external loads up to 240VAC/5A.
Connecting via USB Direct USB connection on products makes it easy to connect to Sintrol Products without any additional equipment, provided that the USB-port has the capability to provide enough energy. The USB port is a Micro USB type B, located on the bottom-right corner of the main board inside the enclosure.
Modbus RTU protocol. This interface can be used to read data from the S303 or S304 as well as change measurement parameters. The S303 and S304 have two isolated RS485 buses, one of which is reserved for Sintrol Network use, and the other for Modbus RTU protocol.
Connecting a RS485 Network Multiple S300 Series dust monitors can be connected into a single network. This ‘daisy chain’ connection allows for several devices to be communicated with using only minimal wiring. Both Modbus RTU and Sintrol Network protocols are supported.
RS485 (CH-1) to communicate under Modbus RTU to a control system or any Modbus master device RS485 (CH-0) to communicate under Sintrol Protocol via a commercial RS485 to USB converter to your Windows PC and Sintrol DustTool software ...

Auto setup description The auto setup function is a unique Sintrol Dust Monitor feature which allows for a simple, user friendly setup. During the auto setup procedure which is done in normal process conditions, the dust monitor will automatically adapt to the process conditions and set the measuring range and alarms accordingly.
General usage of the Display and 4-Key user interface (S303 and S304) The S303 and S304 is equipped with a 4- Digit, 7- Segment display and 5 key buttons, placed on the top of the processing board, located between the connection areas. ...

This level represents 25% of Range (8mA). To manually double the Alarm limit A: Set Parameter 4 to be 050% of Range To manually half the Alarm limit A: Set Parameter 4 to be 012% of Range The parameters 3 and 4 are independent! If you double the Range with Parameter 3 the...

IEU is described under chapter 5 Principle of operation, physical effects, and limitations: The reading of the IEU value at the Parameters 15 and 16 is the base for the Range setting on the Sintrol Signal Generator. The Signal Generator is used for the linearity checks in regulated applications.
9 Sintrol DustTool Software Sintrol S303 and S304 are equipped with USB and RS485 interfaces for connecting to DustTool. Both interfaces are preconfigured to use Sintrol Network protocol from firmware version 3.0.2 onwards. Connect a USB cable directly to a Windows PC or alternatively, use a generic USB-to-RS485 converter and connect to the device’s RS485 bus.
PARAMETERSS tab Figure 19: DustTool main window In the PARAMETERSS tab, you can modify the operating parameters of the connected dust meter. The basic operating principle to change parameters is as follows: 1. Change parameter to the desired value 2. Press the “Save” button to save the changes into the memory of the instrument. If the “Save” button is not pressed, the changes will not be sent to the device and the values will be lost at program shut down or when the instrument is detached.
Dustlog 8 (Optional): DustLog 8 is Sintrol’s data logging system and reporting tool that gives the user greater access to the monitoring process than ever before. Reports can be generated to see historical trends in the measurement with the ability to create monthly, daily, or hourly averages charted on meaningful graphs.

The base station can also be connected to a PC via USB, where it is then possible to run Sintrol DustLog 8 data collection software to manage and operate the network online.
If you find unusual behavior, contact Sintrol or your local distributor and make sure that the instrument is inspected and approved by an expert consultant who is responsible for the integrity of the system design and compliance with locally accepted codes.
Content of the inspection: Visual inspection of the outer parts of the instrument, its accessories, media supplies and cables to assure that there are no obvious damages. Check that the lid, the quick clamp, the cable glands or conduits are closed and tight ...
