Page 5: Transmitter Principle
Technical Manual 9100 1. Transmitter principle The measuring chain is composed of three inseparable elements: the sensor, its cable and the 9100 transducer that controls it. The sensor cannot be used with another transducer or another cable type or length because they are all a part of the resonant loop so they are matched together as one vibrating system. -

Never connect the 4/20 mA outputs to a power supply, an active PLC input or tester 2.2.2 Display The 9100 transmitter device has a 2-line alphanumeric backlighting LCD screen. The effective dimensions of this screen are 40 mm * 10 mm. One line can display 8 digits. This screen is showing the different menus with the help of the 2-button face plate. -

Technical Manual 9100 2.3.1 Top connector – current outputs If the current outputs are used, the plugging scheme of the connector is as follows: Visc 4/20 mA Temp 4/20 mA The Pins η: 4/20 and T: 4/20 are used to connect the 4/20 mA outputs for Viscosity and Temperature. -
Page 9: Bottom Connector - Sensor's Coils
Technical Manual 9100 2.3.3 Bottom connector – sensor’s coils The plugging scheme of the connector is as follows: Pins A, B, C and D make the connection between the electronic board and the coils wires of the MIVI sensor cable. This is how the driving signal is generated and how the receiving signal is measured. -
Page 10: Backlight Setting
Earth & Pt100 temperature probe Backlight setting In standard, 9100 is delivered with disabled display backlight. The backlight can be enabled thanks to a switch located on the back side of the display. Hereunder the procedure that describes how to access to the switch and how to set it. -

Then redo the zero in the air procedure. If this message remains even after carrying all the precaution recommended by Sofraser, the end- user can anyway validate the Offset value by pressing OK and then OK again after a last validation screen. -
Page 14: Check 4-20Ma
Technical Manual 9100 Check 4-20 mA In the same checking approach, this menu lets the user check the good calibration of the 4-20 mA outputs. In this function, we ask the processor to send three different known current values to the outputs and the user has to check with the help of an ammeter the value which is delivered on the dedicated top connector (see chapter 2.3.1). -

Technical Manual 9100 It is necessary to use the Sofraser Interface Software (SIS, see chapter 5) to choose the type of correlation (Linear with ax + b formula or Table) and to change the values of correlation. When the correlation is activated, an asterisk * appears on the bottom right corner of the main screen (see chapter 2.2.2). -
