• The transmitter must be mounted at 90O angle to
the pump axis and on the side of the line indicated in
Figure 1.1.1a, i.e. on the side where the pulp is
discharged from the pump.

NOTE! The direction of a pipe bend downstream

from the transmitter has no effect.

W ARNING !

Before installing the process coupling, make

sure that the process line is empty and

depressurized !

1.1 MECHANICAL INSTALLATION

1.1.1 Points of importance in installation

• The pipe’s inside diameter must be at least 100
mm, and flow velocity must be as shown in the
APPLICATION chapter. If required, the pipe
diameter can be altered so as to achieve the desired
flow velocity.

• Pulp flow must be laminar.

• The pipe should have sufficiently long straight
sections of uniform diameter both upstream and
downstream from the transmitter (Fig. 1.1.1a).

Figure 1.1.2a Preferred mounting locations for SMART-PULP in pipework

1.1.2 Selecting the mounting location

Preferred mounting locations: 1. A, 2. B1, 3. B2

or C (D when pipe turns upward again).

Important considerations:

A. This is the preferred location in terms of the

control loop’s lag time. If the required length of
straight pipe (L1 + L2) is not provided, you can use
an installation tube (Fig. 1.1.2b) that can be welded
in place immediately after conical expansion.

NOTE! The transmitter should be mounted at 90

O

angle to the pump axis (section E-E).
If the vertical section is shorter than the installation

tube or if accessibility is a problem, proceed to
alternative B1.

B1. In this alternative you install the transmitter on
the side of the line to prevent possible air from
disturbing the measurement. Notice that straight
section L1 before the transmitter is 50% longer than
in alternative A. If the straight section is too short,
you can use an installation tube or proceed to
alternative B2 or C.

B2. This method may be considered if the straight
length of horizontal pipe is too short for alternative
B1. Installation on the top side of the pipe always

requires careful consideration, because a substantial
buildup of air in the pipe may affect the
measurement accuracy. We do not recommend this
installation method.

C. You may consider this option when horizontal and
vertical sections before the transmitter are too short.
The double bend before the measurement point will
cause problems when L’ < L1. The whirling flow
produced by the double bend has to be eliminated
with installation tube. In addition, you have to
consider the control loop’s lag time which is
considerably longer in this alternative than in

alternative A.
D. In this method you install the transmitter on the

side of a pipe bend’s outer curve. Distance from pipe
bend is L1. Measurement lag: refer to C.

Other considerations:

F. If a globe valve that will not be continuously fully

open has to be installed between pump and
transmitter, the valve’s axis must be parallel to the
pump’s axis to eliminate whirling flow. The valve
manufacturer’s specifications must be taken into
account.
NOTE! Do not change the pipe diameter between
the pump's conical outlet section and the
transmitter's mounting location + L2 distance.

Low consistencies (SMART-PULP UL)

Low consistencies (see Section 7.1, Sensor Types)
are measured with sensor option UL. To measure
extremely low consistencies as accurately as
possible we recommend a bypass installation that
will provide the required flow velocity and stabilized
flow. You should be able to limit the flow velocity
between 0.1 and 1 m/s. This installation is illustrated
in Figure 1.1.2e.
The bypass line is connected to the process line with
20 mm pipes for max. 2% Cs consistency, and with
30 mm pipes for max. 3% Cs consistency. At higher
than 3% Cs consistencies you use 40 mm pipe.
Deflector must not be used with the UL sensor.

NOTE! Due to the risk of plugging, this installation is
not suitable for unscreened pulp.

High consistencies (SMART-PULP HL)

SMART-PULP HL, the transmitter for high
consistencies, is installed on the small-diameter pipe
section following the stock pump. This will ensure
sufficient flow velocity. See Figure 1.1.2d. This pipe
section usually includes other devices, such as a
flowmeter and control valve. Recommended
installation order is shown in Fig. 1.1.2d.

To protect the sensor, the deflector blade supplied
with the transmitter must always be installed in high­consistency applications where standard process
coupling is used. In digester blow line installations
you have to use the blow coupling shown in Figure

1.1.3d. In that case you will not need a separate
deflector in front of the sensor.

Figure 1.1.3a Installation of SMART-PULP LL/LS/GL/RL/HL

1.1.3 Installation of process
couplings and deflectors

SMART-PULP LL/LS/GL/RL/HL

Using the welding guide shown in Fig.

1.1.3f, you weld the process coupling
exactly at right angles (90

O

±0.5) to the

pipe as shown in Fig. 1.1.3a. (Welding
instructions are supplied in the kit. Also
refer to Fig. 1.1.2c).

Procedure:

- Make a Ø71 mm hole in the pipe.

- Attach the process coupling to the
welding guide.

- Equalize the height adjustment at both
ends of the guide to ensure that the
guide is supported steadily on its end
pieces and will not rock on the coupling.

- Attach the welding guide to the process
pipe with mounting straps.

- Weld the coupling at 4 points on the
pipe.

- Remove the guide and complete the
welding.

Deflector distances L3 and L4 for types
LL/LS/GL/RL: L3 = L4 = 300 mm; and for
type HL: L3 = L4 = 150 mm.
The deflector downstream from the
sensor is only installed in applications
with a risk of back flow that might
damage the sensor (e.g. when stopping
or starting the process). The deflectors
must be centered exactly in line with the
process coupling. The deflectors have
Ø5 mm holes to facilitate installation; for
instance, you may insert a piece of wire
through the holes. In exceptional cases,
when process pressure exceeds 10 bar
and/or there is exceptionally strong
vibartion, it is advisable to reinforce the
mounting of the process coupling with a
reinforcing ring (Fig. 1.1.3b). Deflector’s
inlet to the pipe should also be reinforced
in the same way.

SMART-PULP UL

Installation in bypass line (Fig. 1.1.2e):
Install the process coupling as described
above, but exclude the deflectors. When
installing in the actual process line you
may require an installation tube (Fig.

1.1.2b) without deflectors.

SMART-PULP WS

Install the process coupling as shown in Figure 1.1.3c. Cut a 9
mm by 182 mm bevelled hole for the deflector on the pipe.
Place the coupling on the pipe and draw the outline of the
coupling’s bore on the pipe. Then cut out the mounting hole.
Remove all burrs from the hole, and round the edges of the
hole. Weld the coupling. Install the backflow deflector in line

with the coupling’s center line.

Install the blow line coupling with single bevel weld
at right angles against the pipe, as shown in Figure

1.1.3d. See that the deflector is exactly in line with
the pipe’s center line. The coupling’s lower edge
should be level with the pipe’s inner wall.
Regulations concerning pressurized vessel
installations must be observed when welding the
coupling.

1.2 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

1.2.1 Power supply and wiring

SMART-PULP’s wiring connections are shown in
Figures 1.2.1a and b.
Figure 1.2.1e shows the test meter connection and
the possible connections of 275 HART® user
interface.
With the standard display unit the current loop and
optional binary input connections must be done
under the display.
When using the remote display the connections
must be done in the remote operator terminal. The
fixed connection cable must be connected to the
terminals of the transmitter.
The transmitter’s minimum supply voltage is
determined by the load resistance. Figure 1.2.1d
shows the load resistance as a function of supply
voltage. Load resistance refers to the sum of the
resistances of the current loop’s test resistors, cable
resistance, and power supply resistance. The
following additional requirements are applied to the
power supply if HART® communications are in use:

• Minimum load resistance: 250 Ω

• Ripple: 47 to 125 Hz 0.2 Vpp max.

• Noise: 500 to 10,000 Hz 2.2 mV RMS max.

• Impedance: 500 to 10,000 Hz 10 Ω max.

Making the connections:

• Open the display cover by turning it
counterclockwise.

• Turn the display unit slightly counterclockwise, then
pull it out carefully.

• Insert the cable through the inlet. Use the inlet that
points to the side or downwards. Leave an extra loop
of cable outside the transmitter as reserve and to
conduct drain water out. Tighten the inlet nut and
ensure that the inlet is properly sealed.

• Make the connections as shown in Figures 1.2.1a
and b. Connect the groundings in accordance with
the control system’s instructions. The remote
operator terminal cable shield must be grounded
inside the inlet gland of the transmitter.

• Replace the display unit and make sure that the
flat cable folds properly under the unit. (Push home
at 45O angle, then turn 45O clockwise.)

• Check the O-ring on the display cover. Then close
the cover tightly.

• Cut the DCS cable shield at the transmitter/remote
operator terminal end, and insulate inside the metal
inlet.

1.3 SETTING UP THE
TRANSMITTER

QUICK INSTRUCTIONS
CONFIGURATION AND CALIBRA TION

When the transmitter is connected to the
process for the first time, it will operate with
default values set by the manufacturer. The
defaults are not sufficient, however. The
transmitter must first be configured and
calibrated in the actual process conditions.

The following is a description of the
simplest procedure (A) for a transmitter
where the sensor blade has been
mounted by the supplier (i.e., not a
standby transmitter installed to replace
e.g. a faulty transmitter).

This procedure enables an already
calibrated consistency measurement. The
other functions provide useful additional
features, but they are not necessary in basic
measurement.

The procedure is divided to three parts:

1. Defining the transmitter’s basic details,
i.e. configuration (A1 and A2).

2. Selecting the pulp types to be measured
(A3).

3. Adapting Valmet Automation’s laboratory-

defined calibration curves, optimised in
terms of pulp type and sensor blade, to the
actual process conditions (A6).

The appended Tables show the procedure
for setting up a transmitter which is taken
into operation for the first time. The Tables
show the required keystrokes and the cor­responding displays. Steps A1 through A6
below describe the actions in more detail.

More detailed instructions for the menus are
found in the chapter Transmitter Functions
(Menus), which gives a detailed description
of the Calibration, Configuration,
Diagnostics and Measurement menus.

PROCEDURE
A1. Switch on the transmitter. Press [MODE]

and [ ] to access the CONFIGURATION
menu. The text CONFIGUR is displayed.
Press [ENTER]. The text LOWER RA (=
lower range-value) is displayed. This is the
first parameter to be adjusted in the
configuration menu.

A2. You can select another parameter with
the arrow keys. Pressing [ENTER] will
display the selected parameter’s current

Pressing [ENTER] will save the new value. If you do
not want to change the value, press [ESC] to display
the parameter’s name. Pressing [ESC] always
displays the previous higher menu level, until you

finally reach the MEASUREMENT menu.

Check and, if required, change at least the
following:

LOWER RA (lower range-value)
UPPER RA (upper range-value)
BLADE TY (sensor blade type). See the note below.
MOUNTING (mounting orientation)

The other parameters are additional features which
you do not necessarily have to touch. The
manufacturer’s default values are sufficient for
normal operation.

A3. Press [MODE/ESC] to go to the main menu
level. Press [ ] to select CALIBRATion, and accept
the selection with [ENTER]. The text NEW RECI is
now displayed.
You next create at least one new recipe in the NEW
RECIpe submenu. Press [ENTER] to go to that
submenu. In a recipe you select the recipe number
(1 to 8), main pulp type and filler (ash) content, if
required. 0.0 is recommended if laboratory
command is used in calibration.You accept the P1
and P2 parameters as they are (default values 1.00

and 0.00, respectively).

Pulp types:

The following list describes all pulp types
offered by the menu. Selected sensor type will exclude some
of the pulp type options. If you cannot get the desired pulp
type, ensure that the correct sensor type has been
configured and that the transmitter is equipped with that
sensor type. Mechanical pulps are softwood pulps.

ULIN Unlinearized 0-30 N shear force range

without temperature correction.
Corresponding output display 0-100%
instead of consistency. This is the default value.

HWU Unbleached short-fibered chemical pulp,

e.g. birch pulp or eucalyptus, bagasse and
other agro fibers.

HWB Bleached short-fibered chemical pulp.

Even if there is filler, you may accept 0.00% as filler
content, provided that you do not want to change the
filler content later without sampling and laboratory
analysis.
In practice, sampling and 2-point calibration will
make the correction for an unknown filler content.
However, when filler content changes the transmitter
must be recalibrated on the basis of sampling and
laboratory analysis. Merely changing the filler
content from the operator unit will not suffice if the
initial filler value was incorrect at calibration time.
On the other hand, if the original filler content was
known and was enetered into the recipe at the
beginning, it can be changed later and obtain the
correct measurement result without sampling.

In most applications it is sufficient to define zero
filler content and to create a separate recipe for
each pulp type and ash content combination.

You can create 1 to 8 recipes, each of which can be
calibrated separately on the basis of sampling and
laboratory analysis.

The text NEW RECI will be redisplayed after you
have accepted all selections and the SAVE OK?
prompt with [ENTER]. You can then repeat step A3
for the desired number of recipes. You can also later
add new recipes or change existing ones.

ENTER.

A5. Use the arrow keys to go to the CONSISTENCY
(CS) display. The displayed consistency value is
derived on the basis of the measured shear force
from the base curve of the selected pulp type and
sensor type saved into the transmitter’s memory.

SMART-PULP Smart Consistency Transmitter

A6. (Table 1.3b). If the transmitter’s reading does
not correspond to the actual consistency in the
pipe, you have to perform sampling and laboratory

analysis and calibrate the recipe on the basis of the
results.

CALIBRATION THROUGH SAMPLING

NOTE! The recipe to be calibrated must be active
(see A4).
Press [ESC] to move upwards through the menus
until the text MEASURE is displayed.
.
Press [⇓] and [⇓] to display the text CALIBRAT.
Press [ENTER] to confirm this selection.

The text NEW RECI is displayed again. Press [⇓] to
display the text SAMPLING. Press [ENTER] to
confirm this selection.

Now the text 1.START is displayed. Pressing
[ENTER] will start average value calculation for
Sample No. 1.

You can also activate average value calculation for
Sample No. 2 by pressing [⇓] until the text 2.STA RT
is displayed and by accepting this selection with
[ENTER].

The blinking text END SAM indicates that averaging
for Sample 1 or 2 is in progress. After taking the
actual sample from the pipe, press [ENTER] to
accept the END SAM text.

You can repeat the taking of Sample 1 and 2 the
desired number of times. The last results are always
retained in memory. A single sample, e.g. No. 1, is
sufficient for single-point calibration. Since the
sampling can be repeated the desired number of
times, press [ESC] to exit the menu.

The menu text SAMPLING is displayed again.
Analyze at least your sample’s consistency in
laboratory.
Press [⇓] to display the menu text LABORATO.
Accept the selection by pressing [ENTER].

Then use the arrow keys to get the correct recipe
number, i.e., the same on which the samples were
taken and which you want to calibrate. The displayed
default number should be correct unless the recipe
number has been changed since sampling.
Press [ENTER] to accept the recipe number.
The text ASH 0.0% is displayed. If you know the
filler content, enter it with the arrow keys. Press
[ENTER] to accept the filler content.
Most of the cases ash content can be left at 0.0
even if there is ash but the percentage remains
constant.
The text 1.CSn.nn% is now displayed. n.nn is the
same as the average of Sample No.1 measured by
