Page 3: Introduction
It is essential that this manual be thoroughly reviewed, with full comprehension of the matters explained herein, before attempting installation and start-up. The materials and workmanship incorporated into the Aquametro Viscosity Control System are designed to provide trouble-free service throughout the equipment lifetime. However, like any rotating equipment,... -
Page 4: Receiving And Storage Requirements
The controllers are preconfigured and designed for a wide variety of control processes with a focus on maritime applications for viscosity control systems. A controller may be part of a complete Aquametro Viscosity Control System. For instructions covering the other components of this system, refer to the separate MBA as supplied with these components. -

2.4 Controller Installation 2.4.1 Mechanical Installation Numerous external factors can affect the controller's successful operation. To ensure that your system works correctly, consider the factors covered in this section when designing your installation. Make sure that all electrical safety requirements are met for the environment in which the controller will be installed. -
Page 9: Controller Operation
3 Controller operation Default values Default values for your controller are configured at the factory. The specific values are determined by the options that were specified on the purchase order. These are provided on the configuration sheet that was shipped with your controller. 3.1 Putting into operation Switch on power supply. -

Page 16: Optimization Control Process (Manually)
3.5 Optimization Control process (manually) An optimum adaptation of the control parameters (P, I, D) is necessary in order to balance an appearing deviation as quickly, non-oscillating and exactly as possible, according to the given operating conditions. Generally these adjustments require a lot of professional knowledge that cannot be replaced by this brief information. -

3.6 Manual optimization To balance any appearing deviation as quickly a non- oscillation operation conditions of the PID Loop is required. I = Integral action time Tn (min): P = proportional band Xp (%): Lower value = shorter impulse gaps (three-point Lower value = longer impulses (three-point step control), faster balancing step control), more sensitive reaction,... -
