Improper installation, start-up, operation, maintenance, or service may void warranty. You are encouraged to contact Armstrong International or its local sales representative for additional information. Service must be performed by a qualified person. Equipment must be disposed of according to applicable environmental requirements.
T3: Temperature after condenser. Dryness Fraction (sometimes called steam Xmin is the lower dryness limit. Alarm 1 indicates the limit has been exceeded. Range is quality or moisture content) 0.85–0.95. Default is 0.95. Armstrong International IOM-246-V2.0 Page 3 of 14 Steam QM-3 Calibration...
The pressure sensor is calibrated by simulating the voltage created at a specific pressure. Heating Element: It is important to calibrate the natural resistance of the heating element and cable with the Steam QM-3 computer. This is done by measuring the actual resistance.

There are a total of nine instruments that need to be calibrated on the Steam QM-3. The instruments are: • 3 temperature sensors • 1 pressure transmitter • 1 heating element • 1 condensate flow meter • 1 gas flow meter (NCG meter) • 2 differential pressure sensors Differential Pressure Sensors Pressure transmitter Heating Element ∆P1 ∆P2...
Calibrating the Temperature Sensors Calibration #1: Calibrating T1, T2, T3 Temperature Sensors Turn off the Steam QM-3 and be sure it is cold. Check that the voltage switch is in the correct position for the voltage being used. Unplug the Temperature Sensor T1 from the QM-3.

The correction is written alongside with an explanation if necessary. The correction is signed and dated. To reduce the time, part of calibration can be done simultaneously. To reduce the time, part of calibration can be done simultaneously. Armstrong International IOM-246-V2.0 Page 7 of 14 Steam QM-3 Calibration...
If not, you must adjust the sensor (see point 8 to 10). 8. If you must adjust the value : On the Steam QM-3 display pad, press left and right arrows simultaneously to access the code menu.
Harting plug pin 8 and 16 4. If the reading is in accepted range, record it. The reading will need to be entered after the Steam QM-3 is powered up. 5. Plug the Harting plug into the Steam QM-3 cabinet, plug in the power cord, and turn on the Steam QM-3.

24. Reconnect the 6mm tube coming from the NCG Burette to the inlet on the EV2 valve and leave the 6mm tube coming out of the EV2 valve in the waste container as we will use this for the calibration of the NCG Flow Meter. Armstrong International IOM-246-V2.0 Page 11 of 14 Steam QM-3 Calibration...
10. Force open the EV1 valve using the pressure calibration menu 152. 11. On the Steam QM-3 display pad, press left and right arrows simultaneously to access the code menu. 12. To access the pressure calibration menu, enter code 152 using the up and down arrows to change numbers, and the left and right arrows to change the position.

22. Add the 10 cycles together and divide by 10 this will give you the average ml injected. 23. Record the average number of ml injected that will be entered in the flow sensor calibration menu. 24. On the Steam QM-3 display pad, press left and right arrows simultaneously to access the code menu. 25. To access the flow sensor calibration menu enter code 123 using the up and down arrows to change numbers, and the left and right arrows to change the position.
Return to Service The calibration procedure for the Steam QM-3 is now complete. Please follow the steps below to insure the Steam QM-3 back in operating condition. 1. Place the 1 liter draw vessel below the NCG burette and open the valve on the 1 litter draw vessel to drain the water from the NCG burette and injection assembly.
