    FS10 Series POWER UP, FUNCTIONAL VERIFICATION AND ADJUSTMENT Before applying power to the instrument, it is recommended that a third party inspect the installation workmanship. Make sure wires are not pinched or frayed. Check for matching serial numbers on the sensing element and the control circuit. Verify that the power and alarm circuits are properly connected.

    FS10 Series FS10 Field Quick Setup Procedure Select desired setup option A or B below by pressing the (-) or (+) button continuously for the designated time period. In either case, the ability to set up the device in actual flow conditions is required, i.e., actual switch point flow rate, or flow close to intended value (Mode A) or actual zero flow and full scale flow (Mode B).

Release button to enter into this setup option. The FS10 is now cued to remember the low- est and highest flow signal it sees while in this mode.

  • Page 29: Fs10 Button Controls - Alternate Setup Method

    FS10 Series Note: If using the 4-20 mA output, create a zero offset to significantly improve the linearization of that output; i.e., instead of scaling between 0 and 10 SCFH (0 to 5000 cc/min), establish the zero and span from 1 to 10 SCFH (500 to 5000 cc/min). This method yields a more accurate representation of the switch point, set at 30% (or 70%) of the span by default.

  • Page 31: Additional Switch Settings

    FS10 Series Additional Switch Settings Fail-safe Position (Function 3) This function establishes the state of the relay during normal operation and alarm condition. It is common to set the fail-safe so that the relay is “energized” or activated under normal operating conditions. An alarm condition (switch point activated) results in the de-energized state. That assures an alarm state if power is lost to the device as well.

  • Page 32: Fs10 Recommended Point Level Interface Setup Procedure

    FS10 Series FS10 Recommended Point Level Interface Setup Procedure Special Conditions: Splashing during filling, agitation and wave action due to mixing and other conditions can cause a momentary alarm condition that should not be interpreted as a true alarm. Tune out these transient actions by applying a time delay in seconds to activate or deactivate the relay using the PC interface program.

  • Page 41: Using The K Factors Calculation Window

    FS10 Series Using the K Factors Calculation Window The K Factors Calculation window provides the means to automatically linearize the FS10’s output signal by entering a reference meter normalized readings corresponding to the same flow rate as the FS10. The interface software computes three sets (1 and 3 order) of K Factors (linearization coefficients).
  • Page 42 FS10 Series 4. Clicking on Calculate gives 1 and 3 order K Factor coefficients. Click View results for each to see the associated error in the window’s Error column. Look for results that give the smallest error. Typically, the 3 order results yield the smallest error.

For later Win- dows versions use your favorite search engine to search for “hyperterminal alternative” for free, alternative serial terminal programs. Follow the below steps to set up HyperTerminal to interface with a computer serial port (adapt these instructions for other serial terminal programs).
