DELTA M Corporation 3242-OM-04 3/27/02 NOTICE This manual covers the following model numbers: ® microtuf Series Models FS4200 LS3200 Agency Approvals Explosion-Proof rating Mass Flow Switch Point Level Switch CENELEC EEx d IIB T4 (Killark Enclosure) European EEx d IIC T4 (Akron Electric Enclosure)
(or dry) condition and decreases as the rate of flow increases (or as a liquid quenches the sensor/wet condition). The DELTA M Corporation sensor excitation method relies on constant current to the heated and reference sensors. Thus power to the heated sensor is not constant but changes linearly with temperature as the sensor resistance changes.
DELTA M Corporation 3242-OM-04 3/27/02 Level Switching The thermal differential created between the heated and reference unheated RTD pair is a function of the liquid or gas medium with which the sensor is in contact. The point level measurement application uses the heat transfer differences between two media to detect liquid level.
The DELTA M thermal-differential technique is one of two methods that directly measure the mass flow. For ease of comparison most flow applications are presented in terms of velocity which is independent of the flow cross sectional area (i.e.

DELTA M Corporation 3242-OM-04 3/27/02 Figure 3.A shows a block diagram of the microtuf® switch. Once the switch is set to respond to the minimum and maximum flow rates (or wet vs. dry conditions), the trip point is set by adjusting the Trip Adjust Potentiometer. Solid state electronics transform the flow (or wetting) induced temperature differential into a voltage that is compared to a control voltage.

DELTA M Corporation 3242-OM-04 3/27/02 Calibration - Level Using Figure 10.0 as a location guide adjust the system as follows: Remove the instrument enclosure lid by turning ccw. Apply power to the unit. Allow 5 minute warm-up. For optimum calibration results, wet sensor and drain but do not dry.
Lime deposits can be safely removed by soaking in 20% hydrochloric acid. Warming to 150°F is permissible to speed this process. For unusual cleaning problems, call DELTA M and determine the exact materials of construction and chemical compatibility before using strong acids or unusual cleansers.
DELTA M Corporation 3242-OM-04 3/27/02 6.2.2 Sensor/Electronics Functionality Verification ® Turn power off to microtuf Switch. Allow a 5 minute cool down. Measure the resistance of each RTD at pins 1 and 6 of TBA (see Figure 6.0 or 7.0) for the hot RTD and pins 3 and 5 of TBA for the cold RTD.
