Available version System: IFM 4110 PF Primary head: • type: IFS 4000 PF • liner measuring section: Irathane • Meter size: 200 - 600 mm / 8 – 24 inches (others on request) Rated pressure PN 10 (others on request) Max.
Part A System installation and start-up Installation of the primary head Selecting the installation location 1. Location and position as required, but electrode axis must be approximately horizontal. Max. deviation ± 2°. 2. Slope of measuring section, primary head with in- and outlet sections, is allowed to have maximum deviation of ±1% compared to horizontal.
General Krohne signal cables types DS and BTS with foil and magnetic shields will ensure faultless system operation. • The signal cable must be a rigid installation. Cables must be secured so they do not move, or must be run in conduit.
8 Outer sheath Bootstrap signal cable type BTS The signal converter automatically controls the individual shields (3) to exactly the same voltage as that applied to the signal wires (5). Since the voltage difference between signal wires (5) and individual shields (3) is virtually zero, there is no flow of current via the line capacitance 3+5;...

Part C Special Applications, Functional Checks, Service and Order Numbers Special applications Use in hazardous areas The IFS 4000 PF can optionally be delivered with a factory-supplied certificate for Eex zone 2 or Eex N. The signal converter IFC 110 PF must always be installed outside the hazardous area. Installation must proceed according to Eex standards.

Resetting the signal converter, see sections 4 and 5. When changing the signal converter settings, the green LED (normal) and the red LED (error) on the front panel of the signal converter start to flash rapidly and frequently. This indicates that the A/D converter range is frequently exceeded and that not al measured values are evaluated.
Set subfunction “LIMIT CNT.” to 10 on a trial basis. Should the measuring value leave the above window in one direction more than 10 times, this window is temporarily rendered inactive. Display and outputs follow major changes of flow with the appropriate speed. This setting provides an additional dead time for display and outputs: Dead time = LIMIT CNT.
