    Introduction 1. INTRODUCTION Version 5 ® The data acquisition system ALMEMO 5590-2 is an instrument from the unique product range of measuring devices that are all equipped with ® the ALMEMO connector system, which has been patented by Ahlborn GmbH. ®...
  • Page 6 Functions Measuring Ranges There are corresponding measuring ranges for sensors with a non-linear characteristic such as 10 thermocouple types, Ntc and Pt100 sensors, infrared sensors, and flow sensors (rotating vanes, thermoanemometers, pitot tubes). Humidity sensors are available with function channels that also calculate humidity data such as dew point, mixture ratio, vapour pressure and enthalpy.
  • Page 7 Functions Limit Values and Alarm Two limit values (Max and Min) can be set for each measuring channel. An alarm value printout can be performed if a limit value is exceeded and, by means of relay output modules, alarm contacts are provided that can be individually allocated to limit values.
  • Page 8 Functions PROCESS FLOW PROGRAMMING A cyclic meas. point scan with a time-based process flow control is required to register the measuring data of all connected sensors. For this purpose, the real time clock, the output cycle and the measuring cycle are available and, if fast processing is required, the conversion rate is available.
  • Page 9 Software The AMR-Control software, which allows for the entire programming of the sensors, the configuration of the measuring instrument and the read-out of the ® data memory is supplied with each ALMEMO manual.

    Initial Operation 2. INITIAL OPERATION 1. Connect the transducers to the sockets Mxx (8) and (9), see 4. 2. Ensure power supply by mains adapter connected to socket (7), see 3.1 3. For switch-on press the rocker switch (1), so the control lamp is on, s. 3.4 4.
  • Page 15: Power Supply

    Power Supply 3. POWER SUPPLY 3.1 Mains Operation The universal mains adapter ZB 5090-NA3 for 100 to 260V AC to 12V DC, 2A, is generally used for the power supply of the measuring instrument. It is connected to the socket U-DC (7) and is locked by turning it to the right. In addition, the banana plug with the connection for the protective earth conductor must for interference suppression be connected to the bare socket beside.
  • Page 16: External Power Supply (Option U)

    Power Supply 3.3 External Power Supply (Option U) If the instrument is intended to have an external voltage supply the power supply plug-in module with option U (OA 5590-U) and the connecting cable ZB 5090-EK with 2 banana plugs is required. It has a wide input voltage range from 9 to 36V DC and an electrical isolation allowing that the measuring instrument can be operated with 12V or 24V mains supply.
  • Page 17: Connection Of The Transducers

    Connection of the Transducers 4. CONNECTION OF THE TRANSDUCERS ® ® Any ALMEMO sensors can be connected to the ALMEMO input sockets Mxx of the plug-in modules (8) and (9). For connecting existing sensors it is only ® necessary to connect a corresponding ALMEMO connector.
  • Page 18 Connection of the Transducers All analogue inputs are electrically isolated by using photovoltaic relays and a potential difference of 50V DC or 60V AC, at maximum, is permissible between them. However, sensors combined within one connector and sensors with an own power supply are electrically connected to each other and must, therefore, be operated in isolation.
  • Page 19: Display And Keyboard

    Display and Keyboard 5. DISPLAY AND KEYBOARD 5.1 Display and Function Selection ® The display of the system ALMEMO 5590-2 consists of a LCD dot matrix display with two lines with 24 characters each. The first line always provides the device address (MODULE), the selected measuring point with designation and the current measured value.
  • Page 20 Display and Keyboard The basic functions are set by the function selector switch (5). The keys FUNCTION and FUNCTION can then be used to select, partly, additional functions. The following table shows how the functions are indicated in the 2nd line of the display and which special key actions are available: Function Display...

    3. Measuring point designation for each measuring point (10 characters) These parameters can, as the easiest method, be entered via the serial interface using the AMR Control software or via any terminal (s. man. 6.2.4, 6.3.5, 6.3.6). The keyboard of the instrument can also be used for this. Apart from the numbers printed on the keys, it is also possible to select the letters or characters given at the right bottom by repeatedly operating the keys.
  • Page 24: Sensor Programming

    Sensor Programming 6. SENSOR PROGRAMMING ® As all ALMEMO instruments contain the whole sensor programming stored in ® the ALMEMO connector plug, the user does not usually need to perform any programming. Only if, for example, sensor errors must be corrected or existing sensors must be scaled or limit values need to be specified the comprehensive programming options have to be used.
  • Page 25: Selecting The Measuring Range

    Sensor Programming 6.2 Selecting the Measuring Range ® If users want to program the ALMEMO connectors on their own or frequently change the measuring range, it is necessary that the locking is cleared (see 6.8) and special connectors may be required for some transducers (e.g. thermo, shunt, divider etc., see table).

  • Page 31: Locking The Programming Of The Sensor

    Sensor Programming 6.8 Locking the Programming of the Sensor (s.man. 6.3.12) The function parameters of each measuring point are protected by the locking mode up to an adjustable locking level. Before any programming is performed the locking mode must be correspondingly lowered. If a dot is indicated following the locking mode on the display then a modification is not possible.

  • Page 35: Atmospheric Pressure Compensation

    Measuring Point Scans 7.1.4 Atmospheric Pressure Compensation Some measuring variables depend on the environmental atmospheric pressure (see 6.2 measuring range list ´w. PC´) so that corresponding measuring errors will occur in case of larger deviations from the normal pressure 1013 mbar: For example, error per 100 mbar: Rel.
  • Page 36: Output Channel And Output Format

    Measuring Point Scans the data acquisition. With each further pressing the key the measured values are equally processed with the corresponding measuring time. The real time must first be entered before it can be displayed (see 7.3.4). 7.2.2 Output Channel and Output Format The output channel defines where the output of the measured values is directed.
  • Page 37: Cyclic Measuring Point Scan

    Cyclic Measuring Point Scan 7.3 Cyclic Measuring Point Scan For cyclic measuring point scans the measuring or output cycle (s. 7.3.1/2) must be programmed. The measurement is started with the key START and the MEAS.CYCLE will be continuously on. If a peripheral device is control lamp connected the measured values will be provided in cycles and the control lamp OUTPUT CYCLE will be on.
  • Page 38: Measuring Cycle And Memory Activation

    Cyclic Measuring Point Scan 7.3.2 Measuring Cycle and Memory Activation The measuring cycle is used for the storage of measured values, for averaging and for the output of alarm values (also see manual 6.5.3).
