SIKA TD 32500 Operating Manual Operating Manual, Description The Sika flow measuring instrument is a digital indicator of the product line TD 32500. The operating manual is intended for skilled and semi-skilled workers. Read the relevant notes carefully before every move and keep the pre-set sequence.
SIKA TD 32500 Operating Manual Safety Instructions The TD 32500 is technically advanced with time with regard to measuring accuracy, function, and save operation. To operate the instrument properly requires competent and safety-observing personnel. You find relevant instructions in this chapter. Warnings which are specially related to individual function modes or activities, can be found in the respective passages of this manual.
The electronics are dust and watersplash safe installed in the bayonet ring casing . The casing is installed onto the SIKA flow sensor and can be rotated by 180°, thus providing through individual adjustment free view to the instrument.
Operating Manual 3.3.2 Alarm output As an option, TD 32500 is equipped with two Open-Collector alarm outputs. These can provide a current of 30 mA for switching a load. This current is sufficient to switch a power relay of 24 VDC / 1000 Ω. Depending on...
-10 °C and +80 °C. Installation The measurement instrument TD 32500 is attached to a SIKA flow sensor. As an option, the unit is equipped with a Pt100 temperature sensor. Note the installation instructions of the delivered flow sensor when fixing the unit to the pipeline.
Caution: High temperature! If the medium to be measured has reached a very high temperature level, then also the piping and TD 32500 are getting hot. Avoid any physical contact and do not place temperature sensitive devices in its vicinity.
SIKA TD 32500 Operating Manual To quit the configuration menu or to switch back to the beginning of the configuration menu, proceed as follows: • Press simultaneously the keys ▲ and ↵ at any point within the configuration menu. The display changes to: „QUIT CONFIG-NO “.

Quit the configuration menu, return to the menu start or continue to configure the successive parameters. Note: Gate time is the period which the instrument TD 32500 needs to measure the flow. With long gate times is the calculated flow signal very precise but flow changes prolong response time.
"Measuring Operation" how to reset the readjustable volume counter in measuring mode. After leaving the configuration menu, the TD 32500 is in measuring operation again. Note: Please note that in operating mode „Quick Reset“ of the resettable volume counter no access code is required, consequently...
The key lock is now enabled. After leaving the configuration menu, the TD 32500 is in measuring operation again. Note: To disable the key lock, switch off the supply voltage of TD 32500 and then switch it on again for a restart of the instrument. 5.2.3 Programming the percentage reading (bargraph)
Quit the configuration menu, return to the menu start or continue to configure the successive parameters. 5.2.4 Programming alarms You can only carry out this configuration if TD 32500 is equipped with alarm outputs. • Switch over to configuration menu.

SIKA TD 32500 Operating Manual If the alarm output 1 (2) is set as closed-circuit current alarm, it will be separated from the voltage supply in the case of an alarm, thus switching- off a connected consumer. If no alarm is present, the alarm output 1 (2) is switched to the voltage supply and the connected consumer is switched-on.

SIKA TD 32500 Operating Manual Note: If you have chosen Alarm 1 (2) as „ALARM OFF“, the following programming items Type of Alarm, Alarm Point, and Alarm Point- Hysteresis are skipped. Then no alarm monitoring is carried out in measuring operation.
5.2.5 Programming analogue output You can only carry out this programming if TD 32500 is equipped with an analogue output. With this programming you select the source (flow rate, total flow (resettable), or -if available- temperature), the type of the analogue output (0-20 mA, 4-20 mA or 0-10 V) and the range of the analogue output.

SIKA TD 32500 Operating Manual 5.2.5.1.2 Programming the lower limit of the analogue output range: • The message „SET 0mA/4mA/0V – NO“ appears. • Switch with the ▲ key to „YES“ and confirm with the ↵ key. • The message appears „VALUE OK ?“ together with the last entered lower limit of the analogue output range.
Operating Manual 5.2.6 Programming frequency divider You can only carry out this configuration, if TD 32500 is equipped with a frequency divider output. With this programming you determine the factor by which the input pulse rate generated by the flow sensor is divided in order to allow output at a smaller pulse rate.
Pt100 sensor are measured. In addition the sum of total flow is carried out. Depending on configuration, TD 32500 then calculates the output values for the alarm outputs 1 and 2, the analogue output and the frequency divider output.
"TOTAL (FIX)". Switching the measuring value display If TD 32500 is in measurement mode, you can call up the current measuring values one by one by pressing the s key. The values are viewed in the lower line of the display:...
