    Warning! • Until the DS1200 is installed, do not connect hazardous voltages to the DS1200. • Trouble shooting of the DS1200-AMT System should only be carried out on a disconnected DS1200-AMT and under ESD safe conditions. • Repair of the DS1200 must be done by Alpha Moisture Systems, or authorised distributors, only.

    Note : - Do not install the sensor at this time. Wait until the commissioning stage as described later Alarm Cable • Make the appropriate connections, noting the normally open and normally closed relay contact positions. Analogue Output Cable • Make the appropriate connections, ensuring that the correct polarity and the maximum load specification is strictly observed.

    Rs max = [40 x (Vs – 7) ]Ω. If the wiring resistance is expected to be more than a few percent of the value of Rs, then this resistance must be taken away from the answer to get the maximum usable value of Rs. Connector Pins Red = 12 to 28V dc Power Supply Blue = 4-20mA Current Return...
  • Page 8: Piping Installation

    • The measuring sensor can be installed directly into the process line but this does create problems with access for maintenance and calibration. It is for these reasons that we recommend that the sensor be installed in a bypass, fast loop or total loss sample system where the sensor is accessible without interrupting the main process flow line.

    Sample Pressure Gauge – This is not a critical part of the moisture measurement but may be required if Dew/Frost point measurements are to be made at higher than atmospheric pressure. Measuring AMT Sensor. Sensor Holder. Desiccant Chamber – This item is required when the sampling is to be intermittent. When installed it prevents the ingress of wet air to the sample system, while the sample is not flowing, improving the response time.

    7 Commissioning • Switch the instrument power ON. The display will read “SE.BR“. This is the 'Sensor Wire Break' display condition. Setting the Alarm Trip Points • To activate the quick alarm settings screen press either the ”▲” or ”▼” buttons, while the DS1200 is displaying the moisture level.
  • Page 11: Normal Operation

    8 Normal Operation Analogue 4-20mA Mode (2-wire) • In normal operation, the transmitter will produce a 4-20mA signal, which is proportional to the level of moisture in the gas being monitored. The moisture reading is sampled and up dated once per second.
  • Page 12: Entering Autocal Mode

    Entering Autocal Mode • Once the transmitter has been pre-conditioned, the AutoCal Mode of the AMT can be activated. Press and hold the ‘W’ and ‘D’ buttons, simultaneously for 5 seconds. ONLY PRESS THE BUTTONS IF THE SENSOR IS PROPERLY PRE-CONDITIONED. FAILURE TO COMPLY WILL CORRUPT THE TRANSMITTERS CALIBRATION.

  • Page 14: Faults/Errors

    10 Faults/Errors • If the sensor is short-circuited, the transmitter will produce a constant 20.75mA output. • If the sensor is open-circuited, the transmitter will produce a constant 20.50mA output. • If the hardware develops a fault, the transmitter will produce 21.0mA for 5 seconds after switch on and then continue to give an output.
