AquaSensor - AS 8000 series General Safety Precautions There are no particular dangers inherent in the measurement equipment. Damage to the measurement cable will cause the sensor to break down, but there are no dangers of electrical shock. 1. General Safety Guidelines These operating instructions contain the key instructions for properly and safely operating the AS 8000.
AquaSensor - AS 8000 series 1.2.1. Basic Symbols This symbol designates safety instructions whose non-observance may pose a hazard to individuals. This symbol denotes safety precautions, the non-observance of which can endanger persons by electrical shock. This symbol provides important instructions and tips for the proper handling and operation of the AS 8000.
AquaSensor - AS 8000 series Caution: Pressurized fluids can pose a hazard to life and limb. Consequently, the safety regulations pertaining to working with pressurized liquids are to be adhered to at all times! 1.6. Training and Instruction of Personnel The AS 8000 may only be operated by properly trained and instructed personnel.
AquaSensor - AS 8000 series 1.8. Electrical Hazards Any work involving the power supply may only be done by a properly trained, certified electrician. Make sure to check the electrical equipment of the product on a regular basis. Any loose or scoured cables are to be remedied/replaced immediately.
AquaSensor - AS 8000 series Items Delivered The AquaSensor AS 8000 comes packed and ready for use. Before commissioning the AS 8000, check that the package contents are complete. The following items are supplied: Item Quantity Designation AS 8000 Control Unit AS 8000 Sensor Connection cable, l= 8 m Operation and Maintenance Instructions (this document)
AquaSensor - AS 8000 series Product description The AquaSensor AS 8000 was developed for the continuous monitoring of free water in hydraulic systems in %. Function Description The AS 8000 Sensor measures the deviation of the emulsion dielectric from the measured values of the pure fluid components.
AquaSensor - AS 8000 series Restrictions Pertaining to the CS The AS 8000 may only be used with mineral oils (or raffinates whose basis is mineral oil). Please contact us first before using the unit with other fluids. Dimensions 4.4.1 Sensor 4.4.2 Control Unit...
AquaSensor - AS 8000 series Mounting and Connections Overview Connect the AS 8000 Control Unit according to the following diagram. HYDAC Filtertechnik GmbH Page 15 BeWa AS8000 3215331b en.doc 2007-07-12...
AquaSensor - AS 8000 series AS 8000 Control Unit The Control Unit is designed for mounting on a top hat rail in a switch cabinet. The Sensor and Control Unit are connected with the measurement data cable All connections to the AS 8000 Control Unit, aside from the electrical supply, should be protected ! The corresponding EMV directives must be followed.
AquaSensor - AS 8000 series 5.3.2 Sensor - Installation circumstances in a tank In order that it can continuously measure current values in the fluid, the Sensor should be installed in a tank according to the following installation examples. It is preferable that the AS 8000 Sensor be installed in a flange that is tightly screwed or welded to the tank wall.
AquaSensor - AS 8000 series 5.4.1 Voltage supply Switch on the power supply with the "Power" connection. Check for the correct polarity ! 5.4.2 RS232 interface The RS232 interface can be joined directly to a serial interface or converter with a USB interface on a computer (9-pole connector male - female).
AquaSensor - AS 8000 series 5.4.3 RS485 interface Several AS 8000 Control Units or other analysis devices, as well as bus-compatible sensors, can be linked and connected to a computer via the RS485 interface. If the computer has only one RS232 interface, a RS485/RS232 converter is required to convert the RS485 signals to RS232 signals.
AquaSensor - AS 8000 series 5.4.6 Alarm Relay The alarm relays are activated when the water content programmed into a sensor's parameters menu is exceeded. Relay Alarm 1 corresponds to AS Sensor 1 and Relay Alarm 2 corresponds to AS 8000 Sensor 2. The alarm limit must be exceeded for the 10 following measurements, and then the alarm relay will be turned on for 10 seconds.
AquaSensor - AS 8000 series Commissioning Basic settings All the settings on the Sensors and Control Unit are programmed before delivery by the manufacturer. The settings were programmed according to the details provided by the owner for the temperature range, electronic values of the components A and B, and the alarm setting.
AquaSensor - AS 8000 series Operation Setup and Installation After connecting the RS232 interface to a computer, starting the terminal program, such as Hyperterminal, and after pressing ESC, the main view appears on the screen. Now all the necessary settings can be programmed. Figure 5: Main view HYDAC Filtertechnik GmbH Page 22...
AquaSensor - AS 8000 series Operating For a display of the current settings in the main view, the current measured values, and the board temperature, see figure 5: Sensor 1 Alarm Level [Comp - B] here at 30% Comp – B Content , here at 4.5% Temperature , here 74°C...
AquaSensor - AS 8000 series 7.2.1 Parameter Menu Call up the parameter settings for the sensors in the display in figure 6 by pressing <Strg><p>: For Sensor 1: Sensor Connected 0/1/2 0 when no sensor is connected. 1 when a sensor for the range 5 to 80°C is connected.
AquaSensor - AS 8000 series 7.2.2.1 System constants menu - sensor The parameters for the emulsion being monitored are transferred in a table of values. In the pure components A and B, the sensor variables are set for three temperatures. Additional variables are measured for certain mixtures of components A and B.
AquaSensor - AS 8000 series The measured values for the range of the pure components A and B must be entered. Two additional interim values are possible for mixtures of components A and B, as long as these measurements are available. The mixture ratio of components A and B can be selected freely.
AquaSensor - AS 8000 series Error codes / Troubleshooting If the AS 8000 Control Unit recognizes errors preventing the trouble-free operation of the system, the Ready-Relay is switched off and the last occurring error is displayed in the status line. In this case, alarm messages of the defective AS 8000 Sensor are suppressed. The AS 8000 Control Unit recognizes the following errors: Error of the electronic temperature probe in the AS 8000 sensor Error message...
AquaSensor - AS 8000 series Maintenance / Repairs Repairs cannot be carried out on the measurement system. Shutdown 10.1 Temporary shutdown A temporary shutdown, for example from a power loss, has no additional consequences for the Sensor and Control Unit. The measuring system starts up immediately after the power comes back on and sends the measured values of the sensor.
