Page 7 Components Inclinometer The INC-S6-1800 incremental inclinometer contains a high resolution digital tilt sensor that reports the angle of the probe with respect to gravity in degrees with real-time TTL outputs. The weight is placed on one side of a wheel assembly causing it to remain stationary with respect to gravity.
Page 8: Electrical System Components
Electrical System Components The XC-3D55 3-D Flow Measurement console is factory-configured for 120VAC/60Hz and 240VAC/50Hz electrical power. The Electrical Schematic for the console is presented on page 5. A front panel-mounted circuit breaker rocker switch activates the Main Power and power supply. The power supply energizes the velocity pressure and pitch differential pressure transducers, the inclinometer (yaw measurement device) and the temperature display.

Page 11: Pitot Heads
The unique serial number of the pitot is machined in the head. If an additional copy of the calibration is needed, please contact Apex Instruments,Inc at 877-726-3919. The Type-S Pitot (Figure 7) is designed to measure gas velocities. When the pitot is faced into the gas stream, flow and the pressure difference between the two ports equates to the velocity pressure.
Page 12: System Assembly
System Assembly 1) Connect the 1/4 inch compression fittings of U-PTX-# together to connect the stainless tubes of the pitot tube head (3DPT4) to the PTFE lines. Connect the Thermocouple connectors. 2) Slide the pitot tube head through the extension (32PTX-##T4Q4) into and through the clamping area of the extension.
Page 13 14) Slide the probe into the Universal Probe Extension (PF-346XT32S) 15) Connect the Umbilical/Pod Assembly (UINC-3D-##) to the XC-3D55 Console by connecting the male quick connects to the female quick connects (P1 to P1, P2 to P2, P3 to P3, P4 to P4,P5 to P5).
Page 14 Recalibration Recalibrate the probe either within 12 months of its first field use after its most recent calibration or after 10 field tests, whichever occurs later. In addition, whenever there is visible damage to the probe head, the probe shall be recalibrated before it is used again. Calibration Calibration of inclinometers pressure measuring devices, transducers and process meters/display are required before initial use in the field.
Page 15: System Leak Check
System Leak Check 1) Connect the pressure measuring device and the pressure generating device. Connect the quick connect from the pressure measuring device to the A1 Audit Port on the console. 2) Plug the P1 Velocity Pressure port on the pitot probe head 3) Pressurize the probe’s A1 pressure port until at least 7.6 cm H2O (3 in.
Page 16 Calibration Checks of Pressure Measuring Devices Prior to initial field testing, each pressure transducer requires a 3 point calibration check with a precision manometer or a NIST traceable pressure source within a year of its most recent certification. 1) Disconnect the P1 and P2 lines from the console. 2) Press Reset to Zero.
Page 17 Calibration Checks of Temperature Measuring Device 1) Connect the NIST traceable Reference Temperature generating device to the Thermocouple Jack on the console. 2) Starting at ZERO °F, check the temperature display on the console at 0°F, 100°F, 200°F, 300°F, 400°F and 500°F. The console display temperature reading must be +/-5°F of the reference reading. Should any reading FAIL the acceptable limit, consult the Calibration Procedures section.

Methods Comments The general information below includes comments on sampling techniques, compensation for temperature and pressure, number of passes required, and accuracy and speed. To summarize, the 3-D probe is used to determine the velocity pressure and the yaw and pitch angles of the flow velocity vector in a stack or duct.
