GENERAL DETAILS The SPX 50 is a dust emissions controller which uses the principle of triboelectricity. It is fitted directly into the duct or pipe to be monitored with the SPX 50 sensor being inserted into the particle-filled air flow. The SPX 50 is available in three versions: - alarm version with transfer to relay inverter contact, - 4-20 mA transmitter version,...
MECHANICAL ASSEMBLY The sensor is fitted directly to the duct to be monitored under the following conditions: - 1" / 26-34 mm thread (BSP or pipe thread), - positioned in a straight portion in line with the following diagram, - on a metal duct connected to earth, the continuity of the earth between the sensor and the duct section must be ensured, - sensor length (100 - 500 mm) to be suited to the duct (e.g.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS The connection terminals can be accessed after removing the cover. The connections are made using a cable with at least 4 conductors. Maximum conductor cross section: 0.5 mm². Recommended cable: HI FLEX-CY 4x0.5². It is recommended that a voltage 24 V AC is used for the alarm contacts.

ADJUSTMENTS Regardless of the version, the SPX 50 is adjusted in the same way using the pocket unit or a PC. 3 automatic functions are available to the operator: 1) Auto sensitivity: During installation, the unit must be calibrated in relation to the environment into which it is installed (installation type, dust, concentration, etc.).
OPERATION Alarm version: The SPX 50 calculates an average value as a function of the duration set by the user. If the average value exceeds the alarm reference limit, the alarm relay "falls" and the LED on the front of the unit flashes.
