2. Install the steam pipes in the SDI valve, as instructed below. NOTE: All the necessary wash fittings are included in the valve. 3. Connect the steam wash system power supply. For more information, please see Vaisala Steam Instructions. Figure 11 Wiring steam wash system For more information on controlling the prism wash cycle, please refer to chapter Configuring relays in Vaisala user documentation.
Insert and remove the sensor as instructed in the following chapters. For more thorough instructions, please refer to Vaisala user documentation or visit the Vaisala website to see the instructional video on inserting and removing the sensor (www.vaisala.com, PR-23-SD Safe-Drive Operation Guide Video).
1. Turn the hand-wheel to the left to drop the thread. 2. Lift off Outer casing. 1. Lift up the latch of the inner casing to unlock. 2. Turn the casing a 1/6 turn to the left to release it from the flange.
4.10 Removing Sensor Switch off the DTR to cut off power from the sensor. 1. Remove the sensor nameplate and the gasket underneath. 2. Screw off the cable gland. 3. Disconnect the interconnecting cable 4. Remove the cable from sensor 5.
4.11 Removing Wash Nozzle Remove the wash nozzle as instructed in the following illustrations: For more thorough instructions, please refer to Vaisala user documentation or visit the Vaisala website to see the instructional video on inserting and removing the sensor (www.vaisala.com, PR-23-SD Safe-Drive Operation Guide Video).
4.12 Inserting Wash Nozzle Insert the wash nozzle as instructed in the following illustrations: For more thorough instructions, please refer to Vaisala user documentation or visit the Vaisala website to see the instructional video on inserting and removing the sensor (www.vaisala.com, PR-23-SD Safe-Drive Operation Guide Video).
WARNING: The transmitter does not have a built-in power switch so it is always powered when connected to a power source. Vaisala recommends mounting an external power switch to control the power supply.

● Connect the cable shield to terminal 3. ● Tighten up the cable gland. ● Screw the nameplate back on. NOTE: To avoid damage from stray voltages and short-circuiting, always disconnect the sensor cables from the transmitter before removing the sensor. Figure 13 Sensor electrical connections 3.
After installing the SDI valve, PR-23-SD sensor, and DTR transmitter, go through the following check list to make sure the SD sensor system is functioning correctly. For more thorough instructions, please refer to Vaisala user documentation or visit the Vaisala website to see the instructional video (www.vaisala.com, PR-23-SD Safe-Drive Operation Guide Video).
(see Prism wash test in the commissioning checklist). When comparing lab results if there is a consistent offset, perform a BIAS adjustment from CALIBRATION menu. For more information, see chapter Calibrating the concentration measurement in Vaisala PR-23 User Guide. Figure 18 BIAS Document/Revision No.
The main task of the operator is to make sure that the washes and steam connections are functioning as they should. To rehearse the use of DTR transmitter, please visit demo.kpatents.net. Vaisala recommends that all new users participate in Vaisala training before using the product. Preventive Maintenance Plan (PMP) Preventive Maintenance Plan (PMP) should be adopted in order to prevent bigger maintenance procedures.
Clean the filter in the steam connection line. Verify calibration. Do this as often as your own quality system and local requirements demand. Please use the attached Preventive Maintenance Inspection (PMI) Checklist for recording the weekly preventive maintenance tasks. Check Valve Maintenance Check valve is one of the few moving parts in the wash system.
