Seven, debug method points to hang heavy method and water standard method of two kinds:

1, the hanging weight method:

Liquid level debugging:

Bring buoyancy calculation:

L buoy buoyancy: F1 = PI / 4 d. h. rho

L buoy heavy G and the difference between the buoyancy: F2 = G - F1

Type: D - buoy diameter (cm);

H - buoy length range (transmitter) (cm)

Rho - medium density (g/cm3)

Bring to fix level transmitter on the calibration on the shelf, and according to the figure 5 connection.

1) zero debugging ma (4)

On the tray into the buoy with heavy G such as heavy weight (including pallet), zero adjustment potentiometer, make the output of 4 ma.

(2) full debugging 20 ma)

With F2 in tray into the equivalent amount of weight (including pallet), adjusting range potentiometer, make the output of 20 ma.

According to (1), (2) two step, adjust a few times repeatedly, until satisfied.

2, debug interface:

Bring according to two kinds of medium density, respectively to calculate the weight density of buoyancy FQ and Fz

FQ = PI / 4, D2, h. rho Q

FZ = PI / 4 d. h. rho z

Type: D - (cm) H - buoy long buoy diameter (range) (cm)

Rho Q - light medium density (g/cm) rho z - heavy medium density (g/cm)

Bring calculated according to the FQ and FZ zero hung heavy weight weight fo hang heavy weight weight FM and full scale.

fo=G-FQ

fm=G-FZ

Type: G - weight buoy marked (sign)

1) zero debugging ma (4)

L on the tray into the same fo farmar (including pallet), equivalent to the value of the zero potentiometer, transfer to 4 ma

If l rho Q light medium density is higher than when placing order, provide the density of 0.1 g/cm3, it is possible tuning out 4 ma phenomenon.At this point, according to zero potentiometer will adjust the direction of the original 10 turns in the opposite direction, make the potentiometer is basic in the middle position, to adjust the density of the potentiometer, make the output of 4 ma.Then zero adjustment potentiometer, make the output of 4 ma accurate values.

2) full debugging

On the tray in the FM equivalent weight, adjustable range potentiometer, make the output of 20 ma.

2, water proof method:

1. The liquid level debugging

Bring about medium density 1 g/cm3 or less (water) :

According to the measured medium density and range,

Full range of water level height h (mm) :

H = h. rho

Type of H - buoy the length (span) mm:

Rho - measured medium density, g/cm3

(1) zero debugging

Net buoy indoor water, zero adjustment potentiometer, make the output of 4 ma.

(2) full debugging

Open the inlet valve, added water to the buoy indoor, make higher water equal to h, immediately shut off the water valve, adjusting range potentiometer, make the output of 20 ma.

According to (1), (2) two step, adjust a few times repeatedly, until satisfied.

Bring about medium density > 1 g/cm3 (water) :

When the density is greater than the density of water measured medium, will take any point within the range as a full pilot (cap) is set.Debugging before, should first calculate the corresponding water level and point by point within the range of the current value.

For example: the range of 1500 mm, the medium to be measured density is 1.1 g/cm3, take 1300 mm for full (limit) the pilot, is:

Corresponding water level should be: h = 1300 * 1.1 = 1430 (mm)

Which corresponds to the current should be followed: Ⅰ = 4 x 16 + 1300/1500 = 17.87 (mA)

After the calculation, debug method is as follows:

1, zero debugging

Net buoy indoor water, zero adjustment potentiometer, transfer to 4 ma.:

2, full debugging

Full debugging is at level 1430 mm for the range potentiometer, make the output of 17.87 mA, repeated several times, until satisfied.

3, interface debugging

Bring about two kinds of medium density 1 g/cm3 or less (water)

L, according to two different kinds of medium density respectively calculate the zero level corresponding h0 stated (mm) and full of water level height h (mm)

H0 rho Q = H

Hm = H rho z

Type of H - range (buoy long mm)

Rho Q - light medium density (g/cm)

Rho z - heavy medium density (g/cm)

After l calculated h0 and hm, the scale line with buoy underside height as a benchmark, draw the h0 and hm, respectively, on the scale of markup

4, zero debugging:

L to buoy indoor infuse water, the water level is equal to the h0, close the inlet valve, zero adjustment potentiometer, make the output of 4 ma

If l rho Q is higher than the density of light medium when placing order, provided by the density of 0.1 g/cm or more, it may be transferred out 4 ma phenomenon.At this point, the zero adjustment potentiometer in the direction of around 10 turns in the opposite direction, the potentiometer is basic in the middle position, and adjust the density of the potentiometer, the output is 4 ma, then again zero adjustment potentiometer, make the output of 4 ma accurate value, 2) full debugging

To buoy the indoor infuse water, making water level equal to hm, close the inlet valve, adjustable range potentiometer, make the output of 20 ma.

According to the above (1), (2) two step, adjust a few times repeatedly, until satisfied.

Bring heavy medium density > 1 g/cm3 (water)

Full adjustment, preferable than zero the debug level h0 any point as a full range of pilot, specific methods can refer to water level debugging "medium density > 1 g/cm3 (water)" debug method.

5, commissioning method of measuring the proportion of:

Debug method and measuring interface basic same, just calculate the buoyancy is poor, by the same proportion of medium in zui daiwa zui small to calculate the two points.

6, the linearity of the debug method:

Good linearity modulated before they go out in the transmitter, the user generally do not need to check, just according to the parameters set zero and full (upper and lower limit).If user want to check linearity, according to the following formula to calculate weight, check any point within the range of linearity.

1) when measuring liquid level

Farmar, any position (x %) = G - PI / 4 d, x %, h. rho

2) any position when measuring interface heavy weights (x %) = G - PI / 4 d. H (x % Δ rho + rho (Q)

3) when the proportion of measurement

Calculation formula and the liquid level measurement formula are basically the same, just according to the proportion of different weight value calculation.

All kinds of: G - buoy weight (G)

H - buoy length (cm)

Rho - medium density (g/cm)

Δ rho - two kinds of medium density difference, Δ rho = rho z - rho Q

Rho z - heavy medium density (g/cm)

Rho Q - light medium density (g/cm)

X % - the percentage of span length (buoy)

Eight, zero migration issues when measuring interface:

Measuring interface, buoy the upper parts are immersed in the medium, therefore, will produce certain buoyancy, the buoyancy is a constant, additional current produced by it is also a science, it raises the good range without any influence, just lead to zero point slightly higher than the modulated good zero value (ma) 4, this additional current value is very small, if the measurement accuracy is not high, just don't have to zero migration, if the measuring accuracy is higher, need to attach the current migration.

Here are two kinds of migration methods, for reference:

1, will buoy indoor all full of light medium (note: must make the buoy upper parts all immersed in the light, medium, and adjust the zero potentiometer, make the output current 4 ma.

2, can be observed in any of the interface, the zero adjustment potentiometer, make the output current and the interface point corresponding to the current value.The above two kinds of debugging method, the user can choose according to actual condition, other methods may be adopted.But please note that no matter what method is adopted to improve the migration, can only be zero adjustment potentiometer.
