Operating Instructions Introduction Dear customer, Congratulations on purchasing flowscreen analysis system. This product will without doubt meet all your requirements. We trust that the unit will give you trouble-free and successful service. This analysis system will give many years of satisfactory operation provided it is correctly operated and maintained.
General information on the menu guide / operation The flowscreen analysis system is operated via a touch screen using the stylus provided. The operating menu is largely self-explanatory. System states are depicted via symbols and plain text.
Operating Instructions Previous knowledge The operator requires no particular previous knowledge. It is assumed that the operator is familiar with the use of a touchscreen interface and the characteristics of a dosing process. Safety About these operating and maintenance instructions These instructions are structured so that text and the related figure are on the same page as far as possible.
Operating Instructions Correct use, warranty The flowscreen analysis is intended for monitoring dosing processes in environments that are not protected against explosions. The product warranty may be voided by any - conversions or modifications - use of non-original spare parts - Repairs by persons or organisations not authorised by the manufacturer that are done without the explicit and written approval of the manufacturer.

Operating Instructions Switching on • Move the on / off switch to the ON position. After a self-test, the diagram view for the set operating mode will appear as follows: Range mode Fig. 2 Overpressure mode Fig. 3 • If required, save the measuring range B (envelope curve) (see 3.5.5). This is deleted if the power supply is interrupted.
Operating Instructions Starting up • Move the on / off switch to the OFF position. • Connect the power supply to connection (4). • Attach the sensor(s) (connection 2 and 3). • Add extra connections (LAN, USB, RS232, system plug) if required 3.4.1...
The maximum readable value in a representative dosing can be used as an approximate Y-value. 3.5.4 Select operating mode Determine whether the flowscreen analysis system should analyse measurement ranges or overpressure: <Settings> <Graph / Webserver> <Graph> <Mode> Selection: Range...
Operating Instructions 3.5.5 Setting Range operating mode General The settings are possible if the Range operating mode is switched on (see 3.5.4). The pressure gradient of a dosing (1) can be monitored and displayed for each connected sensor with three different measurement ranges (see Fig. 4).

Operating Instructions B Pressure gradient • <Settings> <Limits> Enter the settings under Envelope Curve. - 1 = Plus in % - 2 = Minus in % - 3 = Begin - 4 = End • In the same display (Limits, perform three dosings. The measurement range B will be automatically calculated from the entered data and shown on the display when the the third measurement is completed.
Operating Instructions 3.5.6 Setting Overpressure operating mode General The settings are possible if the Overpressure operating mode is switched on (see 3.5.4). A overpressure value (2) can be monitored and displayed for the pressure gradient (1) of the dosing for each connected sensor.
Measurement operation requires the settings from the following sections: - 3.4, Starting up - 3.5, Base settings The flowscreen analysis system is then ready for operation (to switch on, see 3.3). If envelope curves have been saved (see 3.5.5), these must be reset every time after switching on.
