Operation options Solimotion FTR20 Operation options Overview of operation options 0000000354 24 Display and operating elements Display - Normal operation: Signal strength - Configuration mode: Function number and function value Switch output LED (yellow), only relay Operating button (increase or toggle) Operating button (decrease or toggle) Function selection switch Ready for operation LED (green) The FTR20 is configured using the function selection and the two operating keys. By doing so, calibration to a sensitivity necessary for clear and unambiguous material flow identification is carried out.
Solimotion FTR20 Operation options Setting the selected function → The two operating buttons can be used to increase/decrease the value or to switch the selection. Example: Function 3 (manual adjustment with movement of bulk solids) → → → → The configured value is stored as soon as the function is switched.
Operation options Solimotion FTR20 The FTR20 is calibrated if, a) for moving bulk solids, the switch point (LED 5) of the switch output is exceeded reliably and b) for the current output, only one or two (minimum solid flow) or at least six LEDs (maximum solid flow) are illuminated.

Solimotion FTR20 Operation options The functions are particularly helpful in the following cases: • Calibration for bulk solids with bad reflection properties or low solid flow • Mapping of movements in the area surrounding the measuring point with no movement of bulk solids •...

Solimotion FTR20 Operation options 0000000358 28 Gain settings Gain Configured detection range (function C); here, for example, 3 LEDs LED signal strength display Depending on the detection range, it can be configured in the range from 1 to a maximum of 10 LEDs in 20 increments (2 increments correspond to 1 LED). The smaller the detection range selected, the larger the gain selected can be.
Operation options Solimotion FTR20 • If bulk solids with bad reflection properties (low signal strength) are to be detected, the detection range should be shifted towards lower signal strengths (high gain). • If bulk solids with good reflection properties (high signal strength) are to be detected, the detection range should be shifted towards higher signal strengths (low gain).

Solimotion FTR20 Operation options Switching delay (function 7 and function 8) An additional switch-on and/or switch-off delay can be configured for the switch output. This can be used, for example, to stabilize the switch output when the signal strength fluctuates greatly, so that the relay does not switch until the switch point has been exceeded or undershot for a corresponding time.
