    INSTALLATION A thread locking compound is already applied to the probe fixing stud of the AUTOSET. This will prevent the probe rod from vibrating loose. Once fitted, the compound is fully hardened after 20 minutes. IMPORTANT: If the probe rod is removed from the unit for any reason, a thread locking compound must be applied before the rod is refitted.
  • Page 10 WARNING Proper spacing of the power shield is vital for correct operation. For questions regarding proper spacing of the power shield to the vessel wall, contact 4B. NOTE For high temperature and/or high vibration applications, a remote Auto-Set version is available. Contact 4B for more information.

  • Page 14: Sensor Calibration

    SENSOR CALIBRATION The Auto-Set can be calibrated automatically, manually or by a combination of the two methods. Usually, automatic calibration is the simplest method, particularly when the vessel can be filled to cover the probe. Manual calibration is useful when a number of probes in similar applications need to be set. Once the correct calibration has been determined and noted, on one system, the remainder can be set to the same setting.

NOTE For questions regarding non-standard Auto-Set probe lengths or diameters, contact 4B. Image F - Probe Types 1. Standard Power Shield with Wire Probe and Mounting Plate 2.
  • Page 16: Power Shield Overview

    POWER SHIELD OVERVIEW The Auto-Set detects material by radiating a high frequency (RF) signal from the probe. The advanced electronics of the Auto-Set use this signal to measure the capacitance inside the vessel with respect to ground and thus indicate when material has reached the Auto-Set probe. The power shield creates a barrier and enables the unit to ignore a certain amount of material built up on the probe, helping to prevent false readings.

    3. Introduce material to the Auto-Set. If calibrated correctly, the Auto-Set will activate when material has been detected. Machinery shut down will depend on your specific monitoring setup. 4B recommends an instant shutdown when maximum fill level or a plug condition has been detected.
