Safety Notes The t-switch ATT11 is designed for flow limit detection in liquids and gases. The ATT11 should be installed, connected, commissioned, operated and maintained by qualified and authorised personnel only, under strict observance of these operating instructions, any relevant standards, legal requirements and where appropriate, the certificate.
Mounting and Installation Guidelines for Threaded Process Connections " (G) Use appropriately sized sealing washer. " NPT Use a suitable thread tape to achieve a reliable seal. Always use a spanner to tighten the t-switch process connection. Do not use housing to turn. Note For other types of process fittings follow standard good working practices.

Mounting and Installation Sensor Orientation Markings Every process connection has an orientation mark stamped on it. The locations of these marks are shown below and for optimum performance it is important that it is facing the flow.
Page 7
Mounting and Installation Sensor Orientation and Flow Direction It is important that the sensor is installed, such that the orientation mark is positioned upstream to the flowing fluid. If the sensor is not installed as above it may affect the performance of the instrument.
Page 8
Mounting and Installation Insertion Depth For optimum measuring performance the active area should be positioned anywhere between 5% and 50% of the internal pipe diameter. The sensor tip should be in contact with the medium at all times. For pipe diameters ≥DN250 For pipe diameters <DN250 Each form of process connector has an orientation mark that should or = to sign be positioned in line facing the oncoming flow.

Mounting and Installation Good installation Practice Summary Avoid installing in areas of extreme flow turbulence. For example; Directly after bends or expansions/reductions. >10 dia >2 dia Directly downstream of isolation and control valves especially if partially opened. >50 dia >2 dia Directly after pumps, fans and compressors.

Operation DIL Switches (Dual in Line) The dual-in-line (DIL) switches are used to configure the following parameters within the device. • Zero Flow ATT11 : t-switch • Maximum Flow Display socket • Setpoint 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 AUTO •...
DIL Switch Explanations The operation of DIL 1-4 depends on the position of DIL 8. If DIL 8 = AUTO Then DIL 1-4 are used for AUTOLOAD features. AUTOLOAD is the means by which actual process flow conditions can be sampled and stored in memory, as either Zero Flow, Maximum Flow or Setpoint.

DIL Switch Explanations All of the AUTOLOAD features and their corresponding DIL switch combinations are shown below. (DIL Switch 8 = Auto) DIL 1 DIL 2 DIL 3 DIL 4 Description Normal Run Mode OFF-ON-OFF Autoload Zero Flow OFF-ON-OFF Autoload Maximum Flow OFF-ON-OFF Autoload Setpoint OFF-ON-OFF...
Quick Set-up Guidelines These instructions are intended to allow a first time user to set up a flow switch to meet it's basic requirement. Ensure that the device is fitted with appropriate sensor (flat face = liquid, probe = gas). AUTOLOAD Zero This function is used to set the zero-point at operating conditions with no flow.
Set-up Explanation There are basically two set-up procedures. They are, Option 1 (2) AUTOLOAD Max Flow (3) AUTOLOAD Setpoint Flow (Step1) AUTOLOAD Zero Option 2 (2) AUTOLOAD Max Flow (3) Set MANUAL Setpoint Flow (Step1) AUTOLOAD Zero...
Set-up Procedure Set Zero Flow This function is used to set the zero-point and appropriate operating curve. 1) Ensure switch is installed at process operating conditions with no flow. 2) Set DIL switches as shown. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 (X = Position not relevant) 3) Sample flow signal by toggling DIL 1 (OFF-ON-OFF within 2.5 seconds).
Set-up Procedure Set Maximum Flow This function is used to set an actual process flow condition as the 100% flow value. 1) Ensure switch is installed at process conditions with flow running at maximum. 2) Set DIL switches as below. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 (X = Position not relevant) 3) Sample flow signal by toggling DIL 1 (OFF-ON-OFF within...
Set-up Procedure Set Setpoint (AUTO) This function is used to set a setpoint at an actual process flow anywhere in between the zero and maximum flow settings. 1) Ensure switch is installed at process conditions with flow running at required setpoint. 2) Set DIL switches as below.
Set-up Procedure Set Setpoint (MANUAL) DIL 8 = Manual This function is used to set a setpoint as a percentage of the maximum using DIL switch combinations from the table shown. DIL 1 DIL 2 DIL 3 DIL 4 Setpoint (% of Maximum) 1) In order to utilise the MANUAL setpoint DIL 8 must be left set to MANUAL.
Set-up Procedure Set Medium Selection This function is used to select a calibration curve for either liquid or gas. This operation is independent of the position of DIL8. DIL 5 DIL 6 Selection Flat Face Probe X (liquids only) DO NOT USE DO NOT USE DO NOT USE DO NOT USE X (gas only) If a display is fitted it will show F1 for 3 seconds followed by the...
