Rev: 2.2 INSTRUMENT OVERVIEW The Arjay Model 2852-IFA Liquid Interface Alarm provides a means for detecting the change from one liquid to another liquid of a different dielectric, such as water to oil. The capacitance sensing probe can be submersed in any liquid type and in any vessel style such as a pipe, tank and pit.

User Manual Rev: 2.2 INSTALLATION NOTE: If any damage to the instrument is found, please notify an Arjay Engineering representative as soon as possible prior to installation. Controller Installation Choose the mounting location in accordance with good instrument practice. Extremes of ambient temperature and vibration should be avoided (see specifications and installation drawing).
Model: 2852-IFA User Manual Rev: 2.2 Probe Installation The probe length is custom ordered to the vessel requirements. A minimum 50mm length is recommended. Longer probes will provide greater sensitivity to impending liquid changes. Probes top mounted into open tanks may require an inactive sheath to ensure the active probe portion is immersed in liquid at all times The PMC junction box should be mounted above the water surge level and in a protected area.
The unit is pre-configured and tested at the factory. However, a quick field calibration is required after power up to tune the probe to the installation conditions. See section 3.3 to calibrate the 2852-IFA . Menu Flow Chart Background Information The control setup, diagnostics, and calibration are accessed using the display and keypad on the controller.
Normal Normal Screen 3.3.1 Site Calibration A factory pre-configuration and basic set-up has been defaulted into the 2852-IFA but a field calibration is required after installation. Allow one hour warmup before proceeding to calibration. The unit can be set to alarm when a high dielectric liquid (High pF) changes to a low dielectric liquid (Low pF), such as water to oil, or when a low dielectric liquid changes to a high dielectric liquid such as oil to water.
