Setting Up Pipeline Applications - Thermo Scientific APEX 100 User Manual

Setting Up Pipeline
Applications
This section assumes you have already completed the electrical and mechanical
installations for your detector. If not, see pages 283 (for electrical set-up instructions)
and 307 (for mechanical set-up instructions).
The purpose of this section is to present you with a brief tutorial, allowing you to get
your pipeline application up and running as quickly as possible. Here is an outline of
what you will be learning. If you are already familiar with some of the information
covered, you can always skip ahead to the next section.
Understanding Your Detector
In this section you will learn how to...
• Use the detector's display panel.
• Navigate the detector's menus and sub-menus.
• Set up global parameters for the detector.
• Key in a name for your product.
Setting Reject Parameters
In this section you will learn how to...
• Key in the reject-delay time.
• Key in the reject-duration time.
Setting Contaminant-Detection Parameters
In this section you will learn how to...
• Establish a noise threshold with no product present in the pipe.
•
Select the appropriate setting for the speed filter.
• Establish basic product parameters (detect level and phase-angle).
Understanding Technical Terms
If you encounter a technical term you do not understand in these sections, please refer
to the Glossary on page 393. For example, the word "product" means anything the
detector is testing for the presence of metal contaminants, and is a word you will
encounter often in this manual.
