    Air Monitor's Combustion Air Station or VOLU-probe/SS array. When initiated by an Air Monitor "smart" flow transmitter (such as the VELTRON II, VEL-trol II, or MASS-tron II) the AUTO-purge III activates a combination of fail-safe valves that route high pressure/high volume plant air to the flow measuring device for a short duration, while simultaneously isolating the flow transmitter from overpressurization.

    • The selected mounting location should be rigid and free of vibration. • The AUTO-purge III Panel should be mounted as close as possible to its associated flow measuring station or probes. In no case should the distance be greater than 50 feet. See Section 3.4 for appropriate line sizes.

    Electrical Connections (Connections Code H and J). See Section 3.6. 3.5 – ACCUMULATOR TANK For the optimum performance of the AUTO-purge III system, it is recommended that an accumulator tank be used as a reservoir for purge air (see Figure 3.1). Table 3.3 lists recommended tank sizes.

    "smart" transmitters allow AUTO-purge programming. See Figure 3.3 below for wiring details. Figure 3.3 If a VELTRON DPT-plus is used in conjunction with the AUTO-purge III panel, a "smart" relay (R1) will be installed in the panel to perform purge management. See Figure 3.4 below for wiring details.

    (frequency, duration, and after-purge duration) are all set via transmitter programming. See specific IO&M Manual for details. If a VELTRON DPT-plus is used in conjunction with the AUTO-purge III panel, the "smart" relay installed in the panel will be performing the purge management. The supplied "smart" relay operating instructions should be consulted when verifying/changing any of the purge parameters.
  • Page 13: Section 6 - Verification Of Purge Performance

    SECTION 6 – VERIFICATION OF PURGE PERFORMANCE 6 – VERIFICATION OF PURGE PERFORMANCE This Section details a method of determining if the AUTO-purge III panel is effectively keeping total and static sensing ports free from clogging. At periodic intervals, Steps 4 through 6 of Section 4.1 should be performed. If either the total or static pressure sensing lines indicate an increase in pressure (without any increase in supply air pressure) of 10% or greater than the initial test pressure (recording during Set-Up), clogging could be occurring.
