    (e.g., total fan static, duct static, pre and final filters) in any combination for a total of 9 sensing points. The MTSE can connect to and receive a differential pressure signal from each fan’s piezometer-ring airflow sensors or field installed airflow stations. This signal is scaled and linearized before being displayed locally and transmitted out as a 4-20mA or 0-10VDC signal, as well as on Modbus or BACnet network communication.

    DRAFT MTSE IO&M Manual 4.2. Setup Menus In each of these menus, the parameters for Systems 1, 2, and 3 (description of a System can be found in Section 3.2) will be configured. For example, if the user is in the Operating Range Menu the operating range for Systems 1, 2 and 3 will be set in this page.

  • Page 17: Operating Range Menu

    Allows user to enter or modify an existing Area Factor if Area is selected in Area Type. The cross- sectional area of the flow station or duct is used to determine volumetric flow in the MTSE. If a new Area Factor value is entered and causes the previous entered Operating Range value to exceed the new minimum or maximum calculated full-scale range, the new area factor will be set, and operating range will be the new full-scale maximum.

  • Page 18: K-Factor

    The MTSE is able to remove this standard density term so that actual airflow measurement can be calculated with density correction. When this field is set to Incld. in the MTSE, this means that standard density is included in the manufacturer-supplied fan coefficient and therefore the MTSE removes standard density for airflow calculations.

    FLOW CORRECTION EXAMPLE The balancer is consistently measuring a value of 9,500 CFM, which is 500 CFM less than the 10,000 CFM MTSE value at the time of the balancer measurement. The user would then perform the following math function: Balancer Measurement / MTSE Measurement = K-Factor, so 9,500 CFM / 10,000 CFM = 0.950...

    DRAFT MTSE IO&M Manual Baud Rate The Baud Rate menu allows the user to set a BACnet network baud rate from 9.6K to 76.8Kbps or from 9.6K to 115.2Kbps for Modbus. The selected baud rate should match the network baud rate. The default is 38.4Kbps.

  • Page 23 Lockdown is useful in applications where the air handling unit or system is turned off and the user does not want to see flow because the MTSE is extremely sensitive at very low velocities and may show flow through leaking closed dampers or backdraft through a fan. Lockdown locks the display and process values to zero when the flow values are below the specified Lockdown value entered, as calculated by percentage of operating range.

  • Page 24: Units And Precision

     Low flow alarm set at 500 cfm The MTSE will report zero flow and therefore enter a low flow alarm when the measured flowrate falls below 1,000 cfm for the duration of the lockdown delay. Therefore, a low flow alarm will be triggered at about 1,000 cfm, not the desired 500 cfm.

    DRAFT MTSE IO&M Manual is selected. For example, if standard flow is selected, only standard flow units will be selectable for that system. Changing the engineering units will not convert the values entered for Operating Range or Alarms; new values will need to be entered in the correct units. Default units is ACFM.

  • Page 26: Diagnostics Menu

    The Sensor Data Page button will navigate to a page displaying measured values for the number of transducers in the MTSE. The transducers are in sequential order from (1) to (10) and display the Fan # tagging, Flow, and Pressure. The Fan # tagging is not set at the Factory and can be entered here by touching the box area next to the corresponding Sensor # to bring up the keypad.
  • Page 27 This could be either a faulty sensor or sensor quantities were incorrectly assigned during factory setup; for example, if there are only 6 sensors in the MTSE however the unit is setup such that the total quantity entered for all systems and OA is 7 sensors, there is no 7 sensor available and therefore an error would be reported for the missing (unresponsive) 7 sensor during acknowledgment.

    When a new uSD card is provided, the field technician has the option of saving parameters set or adjusted in the field to the uSD from the MTSE settings. This action should be performed when the user wishes to keep the settings currently on the MTSE and save those to a new uSD provided by Paragon Controls.

    (dependent on ΔP alarm trigger type being high or low) then a Differential Pressure Alarm will occur. Sensor Acknowledge Error If any one of the sensors that are present in the MTSE loses communication with the host MCU, then a Sensor Acknowledge Error will occur. Analog Output Error If any of the four analog outputs are short circuited while set to voltage, open circuit while set to mA, or the circuit is overloaded, an Analog Output Error alarm will occur.
