1 INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTION AND IDENTIFICATION

The FS10A is a universal ﬂow monitor and switch speciﬁcally designed for gas and liquid process analyzer sampling systems. The FS10A is a fast responding, highly repeatable sensor which installs easily into a standard tube tee ﬁtting or SP76 (NeSSI) modular manifold.

2 INSTRUMENT INSTALLATION

The FS10 is marked with a ﬂow direction arrow or “A” etched onto the sensor element. It is located on the ﬂattened area of the sensor body close to the housing or on the assembled tee. In 1/4 and 3/8 inch tube tees, the “A” should be mounted upstream of the ﬂow to maximize sensitivity at low ﬂow rates (ﬂow into the “A”). Larger line sizes should follow the ﬂow arrow direction. Refer to Table 1 for optimum results. Where the ﬂow tube is not included with the sensor assembly, the orientation mark must be parallel to ﬂow (±3°). For liquid vertical ﬂows in particular, FCI

recommends the sensor element be installed where ﬂow is in the up direction. In vertical low ﬂow gas applications, ﬂow in the down direction is recommended.

As a level device, the orientation mark can be perpendicular or parallel to the liquid level. The sensor element may be installed top mount 90° to the liquid surface. The sensor element can be at any angle as long as the ﬂow direction follows the ﬂow arrow. Liquid applications where the ﬂow element is positioned other than horizontally, FCI recommends the ﬂow go in the up direction.

CAUTION: To minimize the possibility of damage, leave the protective covers over the sensing area until the time of installation. Take

extra precaution with the sensing elements and surface when installing.

For NPT process connections, apply the appropriate sealant compatible with the process media to the male threads. Tighten until the orientation mark is positioned correctly. Check for leaks.

Special Conditions for Safe Use:

a. Provisions shall be made to prevent the rated voltage being exceeded by transient disturbances of more than 40%.

b. For applications in explosive atmospheres caused by air/dust mixtures, cable and conduit entries used shall provide a degree of ingress

protection of at least IP 54 according to EN 60529.

c. When the temperature under rated conditions exceeds 158 °F [70 °C] at the cable or conduit entry point, or 176 °F [80 °C] at the branching

point of the conductors, the temperature speciﬁcation of the selected cable shall be in compliance with the actual measured temperature.

d. Cable gland assemblies are factory tightened – do not adjust; M12 connectors assembled ﬁnger-tight. Mencom MDC-8MR-PG9 or equal

M12 connector is used on FS10A.

3 INSTRUMENT WIRING

Only qualiﬁed personnel are to wire or test this instrument. The operator assumes all responsibilities for safe practices while wiring or troubleshooting. One of the following wiring instruction and diagrams illustrate the requirements for power input, alarm and analog outputs and safety instructions for the unit being installed.

ALERT: The Instrument contains electrostatic discharge (ESD) sensitive devices. Use standard ESD precautions when handling the

instrument.

Recommended Minimum Wire Gauge

The following wire gauge chart speciﬁes the correct wire for the distance to the power source or loads. Note that the open collector option is limited to 50 ft. It is also recommended that the open collector cable is shielded and that it is not run in the same conduit with the power source or the relay load.

Grounding

The switch must be properly grounded for safety and operational reasons.

The circuit board is tied to the enclosure case internally and both are tied to the probe assembly. If the installation pipe or vessel is not properly grounded, connection to earth ground may be connected at the output connector, i.e. M12 or cable pigtail. Use the recommended wire gauge speciﬁed for the input power and distance listed in the chart above. Do not connect the earth ground to DC ground (terminals marked “GND”,

“COM” or “-”).

Input Power, 24 Vdc

FCI recommends installing an input power disconnect and a fuse near the instrument to interrupt power during installation, maintenance, calibration, alarm selection and troubleshooting procedures. Conduit should also be installed according to the local electrical codes or hazardous location requirements.

Attach the power leads according to the Input/Output connection schematic on the following page. If the unit has an M12 interface, verify that the mating connector pin numbers match the designations of the wiring diagram. If the unit is supplied with a cable pigtail, the ﬂying leads should be connected via an approved terminal block or connector in an electrically safe and approved conduit box.

Attach the wires to the relay and other functions as needed. The relay contact conditions are shown in the alarm state (de-energized). The relay’s maximum rating is 1 amp 24Vdc, 120 Vac (FM only), 24 Vdc (ATEX), resistive loads.

Refer to the next section for the set point and alarm state settings.

4 POWER UP, FUNCTIONAL VERIFICTAION AND ADJUSTMENT

Before Applying power to the instrument, it is recommended that a third party inspect the installation workmanship. Make sure wires are not pinched or frayed. Check for matching serial numbers on the sensing element and the control circuit. Verify that the power and alarm circuits are properly connected. Review the instrument conﬁguration and its application.

Units supplied with LED’s will have at least one LED on or slowly blinking to indicate power on. Apply power and look for the power indicator light. After power is established let the instrument warm up for 5 minutes. Refer to set-up on following pages. The switch must be properly grounded for safety and operational reasons.

Switching Inductive Loads

If the FS10A relay contacts are to be used to energize or de-energize an external relay, diode suppression must be used across the external relay coil. Use the guidelines in the following example to select the proper diode.

A Tyco Electronics relay K10P-11D15-24 is used as a slave relay. The DC coil voltage is speciﬁed at 24 Vdc and the speciﬁcation indicates a coil resistance of 650Ω. The DC coil current is calculated by dividing the Rated coil power by the Rated Voltage Vdc or dividing the Rated Voltage Vdc by the Coil resistance. In this case the current through the coil will be around 37mA (24/650). Refer to the K10P-11D15-24 data sheet.

It is recommended the Diode Reverse Voltage (Vr) rating be twice or greater the voltage across the relay and the diode forward current (IF) rating be greater than the relay current. Diodes 1N914 or 1N4148 meet these limits for this case.

5 SET-UP AND OPERATION

FS10 Function Overview

The FS10 ﬂow monitor may come conﬁgured for use as a ﬂow or temperature meter. The output of the switch conﬁguration is a SPDT relay contact or binary collector to ground [N-channel MOSFET] output (sync). A 4-20 mA output signal is also active as a signal reference. In the transmitter conﬁguration, either the ﬂow or temperature functions may be assigned to the 4-20 mA output. The table below shows the possible output conﬁgurations, including the status of the LED bar display.

• Flow measurement will be mapped using CUST_FLOW_MIN and CUST_FLOW_MAX in the 4-20 mA output conﬁguration.

• Temperature measurement will be mapped using CUST_TEMP_MIN and CUST_TEMP_MAX in the output conﬁguration and reﬂected

in the 4-20 mA output when conﬁguration 4 or 5 is selected. The default temperature range mapped to the 4-20 mA output is 0 °F to 250 °F [-17.8 °C to 121 °C]. Rescaling temperature output may be performed with the PC interface program.

The output conﬁguration setting is normally factory set but may be changed in the ﬁeld if required. Caution should be used when making any conﬁguration changes, as the monitor may not have been properly calibrated to accommodate the new setting. Only the RS232 interface may be used to make a change in output conﬁguration.

FS10 Field Quick Setup Procedure

Quick Setup Mode *

This feature permits ﬁeld setting the critical zero and span parameters of the FS10A with a single push of the button and throttling the process ﬂow over the desired range to capture the low and high ends. All defaults applicable to a low ﬂow indication/alarm application apply along with a trip-point default setting at 30% of span.

To activate the Quick Setup Mode (QSM), simply press and hold for at least 10 seconds:

“ – “ button, for process ﬂuids that are gases or very low ﬂow liquid hydrocarbons

“ + “ button, for process ﬂuids that are liquids or high velocity gases (+50% sensor excitation).

The ﬁrst three and last three LEDs will alternately ﬂash to acknowledge entry into the Quick Setup Mode. The FS10A is now cued to remember the lowest and highest ﬂow signal it sees while in this mode. Pressing either button momentarily exits into the normal operating mode and saves the detected limits as the zero and span. LED’s 1 and 10 and corresponding trip point LED will alternately ﬂash (3 sec), indicating zero and span have been properly set.

A minimum span setting of 0.05% is required to save new parameters. If minimum span is not reached during QSM, the ﬁrst two, middle two and last two LEDs will ﬂash; indicating an error (3 sec) and resume last operation without saving new parameters.

Recommendations

Gas applications

The high ﬂow limit or span setting is normally the most difﬁcult to stabilize in a gas application, therefore simulating the desired high ﬂow rate at normal process conditions and allowing it to stabilize before entering into the QSM is recommended. Using in-line valves or other throttling means, establish the desired full scale ﬂow rate and allow system to stabilize. Now enter into the QSM (FS10 immediately captures this high ﬂow signal) and then slowly throttle the ﬂow down until the zero ﬂow setting is reached (i.e. valve closed, no ﬂow). Allow to stabilize, then momentarily press either button to save parameters and return to normal operating mode with the new scaled operating range established.

Liquid applications

To optimize the performance of the FS10A in liquids, it is critical to establish a stable zero setting under a packed line (full) condition. It is recommended the FS10A be operating and allowed to come to equilibrium with a downstream valve closed and the line completely ﬁlled with the process ﬂuid and no ﬂow. At this point, enter into the QSM (FS10 immediately captures this low ﬂow signal), and then slowly open the downstream valve to allow ﬂow up to the maximum span desired. Momentarily press either button to save parameters and return to normal operating mode with the new scaled operating range established.

In some cases the high liquid ﬂow signal will saturate before reaching the high ﬂow that is simulated, but the FS10A will save the highest value it is capable of sensing in that application and use it as the high end limit.

Trip point

By factory default, the trip-point is set to 30% of the established span when using the Quick Setup Mode. This may be changed in the ﬁeld using the standard button commands (refer to Functions 1 and 2 under Normal set-up and operation using the button interface in the operating manual). Alternatively, the QSM factory trip-point default of 30% of span may be changed in the ﬁeld using the PC interface program before entering into the QSM. Selecting the factory setup option at order will also permit designating an alternative customer desired default value at the factory. Note, this value is always a % of the established span and alters any previous trip point that may have been attained on a previous setup.

Note, the 4-20mA output and relay trip will continue to operate at the previously set range while in the Quick Setup Mode

Summary

1. Activate QSM: Press “-“ button (gas) or “+” button (liquid) minimum 10 seconds (LEDs will acknowledge entry into QSM).

2. Throttle ﬂow valve to simulate zero and full scale ﬂow.

3. Press either button momentarily to save parameter values and exit into normal operating mode.

FS10 Button Controls

It is recommended the unit be powered-up for 10-15 minutes before making changes to any of the ﬂow settings.

General Control Description

The FS10 control “functions” can be accessed through the two buttons by:

1. Entering “function selection”

2. Selecting the desired function to adjust

3. Adjusting the function control

4. Exiting to normal operation

1. To Enter “Function Selection” mode:

a. Press and hold both buttons down for 3 seconds

b. When “function selection” is entered, all the LEDs will ﬂash “on”, then

c. The ﬁrst function (LED # 1) will be illuminated

2. “Function Selection” mode: Once the unit is in “function selection” mode, the buttons take on new controls:

• The “-“ and “+” buttons will step (increment down or up respectively) through the different functions. The current function number will be indicated on the LED blinking at the slow rate.

• Holding either the “+” or “-“ for 3 seconds will “select” the current function to be adjusted.

3. When a Function has been selected for adjustment: After selecting the desired function by pushing and holding either the “-” or “+” button for 3 seconds the LEDs will ﬂash at a faster rate. The pattern of the LEDs will either reﬂect the current value of the parameter being adjusted, or the “ready to capture” pattern for parameters to be captured (see speciﬁc function descriptions for details).

The buttons will either increment or decrement the function parameter, or capture a value for the corresponding parameter.

4. To exit out of the current function, push and hold both buttons down for 3 seconds. The LEDs will indicate that you are once again in “function election” mode, and the current mode will have incremented to the next function. To exit completely (into operational mode), press the two buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds once again.

Note: Function #4 (load a bank) and function #15 (save to a bank), requires holding either button for 3 seconds to load or save.

Holding both buttons will exit either function without performing the operation.

Button Operation

1 Enter “function selection” Push and hold both buttons simultaneously 3 seconds

2 Select desired “function” Push “+” or “-“ to step through (LEDs indicate function #)

3a. Enter “function adjust” Push and hold either “-“ or “+” button 3 seconds

3b. Adjust within function Follow instructions for particular function entry

4a. Exit “function adjust” Push and hold either “-” or “+” button 3 seconds (now in “function selection”

operation) select operation]

4b. Exit “function selection” Push and hold both buttons simultaneously 3 seconds (now in normal operation)

[NOTE: Function #4 or #15 requires holding both buttons to exit into function

FS10 Series

Normal set-up and operation using the button interface

Refer to Table 5, Button Controls to address the following functions in the ﬁeld.

Bank Selection of Stored Parameters (Function 4)

Select function 4 to change bank selection of stored parameters. The FS10 has 7 storage banks. Banks 1-6 are factory set defaults of common applications or speciﬁc factory calibrations. Bank 7 is available for user saved parameters. Refer to complete FS10 conﬁguration number to determine the factory supplied bank setting. Note, an error pattern will result when selecting through the banks if the bank contains no valid calibration parameters.

Units that do not come factory calibrated use Universal Setting A from Bank 1 as the settings for operational Bank 0. These parameters cover the entire range (delta R) of the device. Therefore, spans and trip-points can be set in the ﬁeld using this bank regardless of process ﬂuid. Once a unit is set-up in the ﬁeld, the changed parameters now in Bank 0 may be stored to bank 7 using Function 15 and later retrieved using

Function 4 if unwanted changes were made in the interim

FS10 Series

Flow Switch Operation

Units supplied without factory trip point setting should be scaled in situ before setting the trip point. Default Universal Setting A from Bank 1 is recommended for most low ﬂow sampling gas or liquid service. Gas and liquid service applications where higher ﬂow rate detection is required may select Universal Setting B from Bank 3.

Scaling is performed in the following order:

Minimum Flow Setting (Function 6)

Select function 6 to capture the minimum ﬂow rate. In liquids, optimum performance is achieved by setting the Minimum Flow to a full line at no ﬂow. If possible, with liquids, slightly pressurize the pipe and block the ﬂow using valves to assure a full and static condition. Capturing the no-ﬂow value in Function 6 establishes the zero point.

Maximum Flow Setting (Function 7)

Run the process at maximum ﬂow and use this function to capture the maximum ﬂow in gas or liquid. Since liquids transfer heat very efﬁciently, depending on the sensor assembly and ﬂuid, maximum signal level will likely be achieved at ﬂow rates under 2 feet per second, though the actual ﬂow in the tube may be higher. Capturing the maximum ﬂow effectively establishes the span in the installation.

Note: Be sure to pause at least 30 seconds before capturing zero and span to assure unit has reached equilibrium.

Static/Dynamic Mode Option (Function 5)

This option provides dynamic ranging (span setting) of the unit for purposes of calibration. It is intended to aid the user in ranging the FS10 in cases where the maximum ﬂow is ﬂuctuating and difﬁcult to capture or requires action away from the FS10 installation.

Select button Function 5 to change between static and dynamic mode for setting the maximum span value [CUST_FLOW_MAX]. The “static” default setting is used to capture the maximum ﬂow in Function 7. If function 5 is changed to “dynamic” setting, the FS10 will constantly update the maximum span value to reﬂect the maximum ﬂow. The span setting increases (re-scales) to match an increasing process ﬂow and remains at the highest level achieved as long as the unit remains powered.

Important Note: When Function 5 is changed to Dynamic Mode, the span immediately drops to the value of the trip-point setting

and climbs from that point with ﬂow. Therefore, a trip point should be captured (Function 2) at a ﬂow lower than the anticipated max span ﬂow before placing unit in Dynamic Mode. Once the user is satisﬁed the maximum ﬂow is captured in Dynamic Mode, the unit should be switched back to Static Mode. The established span will remain. CAUTION: A loss of power while in Dynamic Mode results in resetting the CUST_FLOW_MAX to the original trip point value. Dynamic mode is not recommended if the application may see spiking ﬂows or wet conditions in gas applications that could result in a temporary and false indication of what the maximum ﬂow should be.

Trip Point Adjust (Function 1 or 2)

There are two ways to set the trip point using the buttons.

Function 1 uses the LEDs as indicators to set the trip point in 10% increments within the established span.

Function 2 may be used to set the precise trip point by “capturing” the exact process ﬂow rate. In liquids, make certain the desired trip

point is within the set operating range. That is, when capturing at the trip-point, the LEDs should be showing no greater than 90% ﬂow. NOTE: The trip-point setting is saved in feet/sec, therefore, changing the span later may alter the relative position of the ﬂashing LED indicating the trip-point value.

Low ﬂow alarm applications with relay energized above the trip point (default setting): the trip point LED will ﬂash quickly when the ﬂow is below the trip point. The LED ﬂashes at a slower rate when the ﬂow is at or above the trip-point.

Additional Switch Settings

Failsafe Position (Function 3)

This function establishes the state of the relay during normal operation and alarm condition. It is common to set the failsafe so that the relay is “energized” or activated under normal operating conditions. An alarm condition (trip point activated) results in the de-energized state. That assures an alarm state if power is lost to the device as well.

If the relay is bypassed and the device is used with the solid-state binary output, the system should be set up so a no-power condition results in an alarm state. The transistor should be “on” under normal operating conditions, resulting in an approximate 5 Vdc signal to ground. Power loss or alarm condition, results in 0 Vdc to ground.

Hysteresis (Function 8 and 9)

In the case of the ﬂow switch, hysteresis is deﬁned as the difference in signal level between turning on the relay and turning it off. If the hysteresis is set to zero, that point is the same and can result in chattering, rapidly turning the relay on and off, in slow moving processes. A hysteresis level is applied to minimize the possibility of chattering around the trip point. It is set as a percent of the trip-point value.

Fluid Components International LLC 17

FS10 Series

The hysteresis may be applied above the trip point or below the trip point. As an example, if set above the trip-point in an application requiring low ﬂow detection, the relay will change state as the signal falls below the trip point, but will not reset until it reaches the trip-point value plus the added hysteresis value. The default setting is hysteresis above the trip-point and set at 2% of trip-point value. If changes are required to the default, see how the hysteresis is applied in Function 8 and set the value in Function 9. Any value hysteresis may be applied through the RS232 PC or command line interface. The button functions are limited to settings between 0% and 10% in 1% increments.

Time Delay (Function 10 or 11)

A time delay may be applied to the trip-point in one of two ways. The time delay may be applied to activate (Function 10) the relay after the trip-point has been reached, or may be applied to de-activate (Function 11) the relay after the trip-point has been reached. The time starts as the trip-point is reached and counts down as long as the trip-point value is retained. The relay then changes state. If the trip-point was reached, but not maintained during this period, the time delay resets and the relay does not change state. The default value is zero seconds and may be increased in 1-second increments up to 10 seconds with the buttons (time delays considerably higher are achievable through the RS232 interface >65k secs).

Function 10 operation (relay change of state is delayed this amount [sec.] after signal reaches trip-point) is normally used in applications where false trips may occur due to turbulent or cyclic ﬂow action or in wet dry applications where splashing during vessel ﬁlling, for example, may cause premature actuation. Proper setting of the time delay in this mode can be very effective in preventing problematic nuisance trips.

Function 11 operation (relay change of state is delayed this amount [sec] after signal leaves trip-point) may also be used in cyclic ﬂow conditions. Another possible use may be to ﬁll a vessel after a low level is reached. For example, the level reaches the low level trip-point; the relay immediately changes state and is set to actuate a solenoid valve that begins the ﬁlling action. A time delay may be set that corresponds to the time needed to ﬁll the vessel.

Important: The time delay function is dependent on the Failsafe Position (Function 3). Therefore, select the proper mode of

delay based on relay being activated in normal operation and de-activated in the alarm condition. These selections are likely to be different when alarm settings are for low ﬂow (or dry) verses high ﬂow (or wet) applications.

Alarm Simulation (Function 12)

This function is used to force the output to the highest or lowest value, resulting in a change of relay state as well. Alarm simulation may be useful in testing the system in which the FS10 is installed.

Keypad Lockout (Function 13)

This function changes the time required to depress the two buttons to enter into the set-up mode from the default 3 seconds to 10 seconds (and back). Total button lockout may be achieved through the digital interface program via the RS232 connection.

Filter Setting (Function 14)

A ﬁlter is applied to the raw input signal (delta R). It is used to smooth the output against ﬂuctuating or turbulent ﬂow conditions. The range of the ﬁlter setting is 3-100. The default setting is 18 and reduces the time response by < 2 seconds. A setting of 100 will provide the maximum dampening of the signal and decreases the response time approximately 10 seconds. Settings from 3 to 100 may be applied using the RS232 PC interface or command line interface. The buttons permit changes of values 3, 18, 30, 50 and 100 only.

Save to Bank (Function 15)

Set-up conﬁgurations may be saved to bank 7. After the FS10 is ﬁeld conﬁgured, storing the parameter settings to bank 7 is performed in this function.

PC Interface and Command Line Interface Congurations

FS10 Communication Options

In addition to the button interface, the FS10 may be addressed directly through the RS232 interface. This type of communication offers convenient access to all user available parameters. There are two methods for interfacing through the RS232 connections:

1. A Windows PC Interface program is available that allows reading and writing to all user available functions and parameters.

2. A Command Line Interface through a HyperTerminal (MS) type program will access all functions and parameters (see RS232 Interface

Reference Table on the following pages).

In both cases the parameters are accessed directly through the RS232 terminals. Depending on the hardware conﬁguration selected, the RS232 signals are available through any of the following:

1. M12 pins - for units supplied with M12 power and output (I/O) connector

2. 8-wire cable units - for units supplied with cable pigtail, terminate to 3 wires

3. 2.5mm phone jack connector - available on remote mount units only

IMPORTANT NOTE: RS232 RxD, RS232 TxD and SIGNAL RETURN (3-connections) must be used to for effective

communication.

An RS232 to 9 pin serial (DB9) to USB interface cable is available from FCI to connect directly to a PC or PLC. An RS232 interface from either of the 3 conﬁgurations above is available from the table on the following page. NOTE: The USB interface cable is supplied with a device driver disk. Depending on the computer operating system, installation may be necessary for communication. Entry of the USB port # will be requested. It is normally the highest value listed.

Password Protection

Factory settings are protected with a level 1 factory password. End user settings are protected with a level 2 password. The following password will provide access and allow changes to any level 2 parameters: 19113

Refer to Table 7 for parameter command reference. Access to all level 2 (user conﬁgurable) parameters are available through the FC10 PC interface software.

Flow Rate Indication on PC Interface

Units will read values in percent, trend with ﬂow and be repeatable. The PC interface provides a convenient means of capturing zero, span and trip-point settings in lieu of using the buttons.

Power Supply Interface Kit

FCI offers an interface kit that makes it easy to connect to a notebook computer in the ﬁeld. Kit PN number 022083-02 is described on page 32 of this manual. It may also be used to simply power up the unit using an AC connection. Relay function and 4-20 mA output may be monitored using this interface.
