    PROCEDURES Sta c Calibra on (Sta c Cal.) Sta c Calibra on sets the Range of the Transducer in the CentriFeeder™ Meter. This allows the meter to be versa le in a way such that it can be ranged up, known as Extended Sta c Cal‐ ibra on, or it can be ranged down, known as Reduced Sta c Calibra on.
  • Page 32 Step 6: Hang the Test Weight provided with the Electronics Enclosure from the Calibra on Stud located under the bo om edge of the Pan as seen below. For Pans that have more than one Calibra on Stud, there should be a Test Weight for each. Some op onal pans may not have a Stud.

  • Page 33: Site Calibra On

    Site Calibra on When the CentriFeeder™ Meter is sent from the Factory it is set with Default values for the Sta c Calibra on and the Calibra on Voltage, which were chosen for the par cular material being measured with the meter. As described in the previous Sec on, the Sta c Calibra on is an adjustment that ranges the Transducer, the Measurement Element of the meter.

  • Page 36: Se Ng The Valve's Upper And Lower Limits

    Se ng the Valve’s Upper and Lower Limits ‐ CentriFeeder with ICV only The valve’s upper limits (Maximum Auto Out) and its lower limits (Virtual Flow Stop) can be set from the Advanced Se ng Menu. Virtual Flow Stop Virtual Flow Stop™ is a func on of the CentriFeeder™ that allows you to manipulate the posi‐ on of the blade of the Integrated Control Valve so that flow can be stopped without closing the Integrated Control Valve completely, thus, not damaging product and minimizing damage to the leading edge of the valve and the Tangen al Back Plate as well.
  • Page 37 Se ng the Maximum Auto Out For an upper limit alarm, you can set the Maximum Auto Out. To do so, press the ADV Bu on from the TOP (Main Menu) page. Press the Control Modifica ons Bu on and from the ADV.CONTROL Menu press the Maximum Auto Out Bu on.

  • Page 38: Se Ng The Auto Delay

    Se ng the Auto Delay Typically, the Integrated Control Valve, while in Automa c Mode, will take several seconds to “tune” in order to reach your set throughput value upon startup. In order to avoid a large overshoot the op mal method for startup is to either start in Manual Mode and enter a remembered Manual Out value, gathered through prior runs and then switch to Automa c Mode once the tuning has occurred for several seconds, or to set the Auto Delay which accomplishes this automa cally.

  • Page 39: Stroking The Valve

    Stroking the Valve ‐ CentriFeeder with ICV only Stroking the Integrated Control Valve is a way of se ng the posi on sensor output to corre‐ spond to the actual stroke or range of travel of the valve’s blade. Stroking the valve may be required if the electronics package is replaced or the HMI is reprogrammed, however, new installa ons will typically include a properly stroked valve that will not need to be adjusted.
  • Page 40 Step 2: Check your Percent Open values in the Diagnos c Window. The Percent Open values should read +104% (±0.4%) against the open stops and ‐1% (±0.2%) against the closed stops. The Maximum Live Value should be 2.0V, ±0.25V the Minimum Live value should be 0.5V, ±0.25 V.

    PID Control Loop Tuning ‐ CentriFeeder with ICV only PID #1 and #2 control the ICV in what is termed a cascade control in which the control output of PID #1 becomes the set point of PID #2 , which in turn, controls the valve. Set PID #1 according to the following table for Electronic Full Scale (eFS)= 100% Meter Volumetric Full Scale (vFS).

  • Page 42: Running The Centrifeeder

    Running the CentriFeeder with ICV Assuming that the meter has been properly installed and calibrated, your CentriFeeder™ can be run in one of two modes which can be quickly and easily switched between even while your process is running. These two modes are Manual and Automa c. These modes can be ac‐ cessed from the main run display shown below.
  • Page 43 Star ng Flow Please Note: The ICV will not run if the R‐Stop Indicator is visible on the screen. The valve will only operate if there is a closure between Customer Connec ons #18 and #19 and a jumper has been installed to serve this purpose. If this jumper has been removed, or the Remote Stop is engaged, the R‐Stop Indicator will be visible onscreen.
