Commissioning

8.1

Overview

Introduction
The following description is limited to the most critical information for commissioning/mass
flow detection.
The device does not need any tools or special equipment for commissioning.
The procedure for configuration is described in more detail in the "Operation" section. The
setting can only be optimized while the system is in operation. This is described below.
Note
The limits for the acoustic channels are set at the factory at the maximum value of 99.9 (no
alarm). All universal inputs are set to "oFF" (no signal assignment).
Condition
The notes and values specified serve only as a guide. It is necessary to define settings that
are appropriate for your requirements and purpose.
NOTICE
Signal sensitivity
Your personal specifications and settings determine the signal sensitivity of the diagnostics
unit. Limits that are too narrowly defined may lead to frequent fault signals. Limits that are
too generously defined may result in the alarm being late or not being triggered at all.
NOTICE
Ensure that all electrical connections and the installation of the sensors have been carried
out properly and the cover is closed.
Note
Regularly check the settings defined after the commissioning and correct them if necessary.
