This chapter describes how to use the movable air sensor connected to the ALP-900. It also describes how the ALP-900 calculates the volume of accumulated air. In this chapter Section See page Attaching the movable air sensor Calculate accumulated air Monitor ALP-900 User Manual 29265903 AB... -
Page 15: Attaching The Movable Air Sensor
The movable air sensor may be optionally placed on any inlet. Place the movable air sensor (AIR SAMP) on a horizontal flow path (e.g. on the inlet). Rotate the connector, so that it is vertical, as marked on the air sensor. Monitor ALP-900 User Manual 29265903 AB... - Page 16 The air sensor connector may face either upwards, downwards, left or right. Downwards is recommended to minimize the risk for ingress of liquid into the connector when disconnecting it. If the sensor is oriented in any other angle it may not detect small bubbles properly.

Page 17: Calculate Accumulated Air
The calculation of accumulated air is started when a new run is started and stopped when the system is set to END. When the system is set to RUN again the accumulated air is set to zero and a new accumulated air volume is calculated for this run. Monitor ALP-900 User Manual 29265903 AB... -
