User Manual Rev: 2.1 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-PCD User Manual Rev: 2.1 Sensor Installation The controller is tuned to the capacitance field in front of the sensor during normal process conditions. A plugged condition will displace the air & product mix in front of the sensor with solid product.
The unit is pre-configured and tested at the factory. However, a quick field calibration is required after power up to tune the sensor to the installation conditions. See section 3.3 to calibrate the 2852-PCD. Menu Flow Chart Background Information The control setup, diagnostics, and calibration are accessed using the display and keypad on the controller.
Normal Screen 3.3.1 Site Calibration A factory pre-configuration and set-up has been defaulted into the 2852-PCD. As such, a user set-up is not required in the field. A basic calibration is only required. Be sure the sensor is wired and installed into it’s final location before calibrating. The process must be operating so that the sensor face is looking at normal process conditions.
Model: 2852-PCD User Manual Rev: 2.1 SETUP ALARMS 2852 Controller Setup The 2852 controller has the following Setup parameters: 1. Sensitivity The sensitivity determines the amount of pF change required to cause an alarm. The factory default setting is 1.0 pF. This is the most sensitive setting. Increasing the pF value will increase the amount of product required to cause an alarm.
Model: 2852-PCD User Manual Rev: 2.1 2852 Controller Network The 2852 Controller may be monitored and calibrated via RS-485 protocol compatible digital communications. Typical features are: 1. Ease of wiring in multiple level point monitoring: Up to 255 Model 2852's (or other Arjay 2800 Series level monitors) may be connected together...
