SET THE INPUTS AND OUTPUTS (CLASSES 110, 210-R AND 310 TRANSMITTERS)

With this function, it is possible to modify the outputs ranges of the transmitter, you can configure your own intermediary ranges.

The configuration of the inputs and outputs is for classes 110, 210-R and 310 transmitters only.

Set the inputs and outputs for the classes 110 and 210-R transmitters

• Click “Analogue I/O”.
  • The following window opens.

The inputs are available only on the CA310 with the MVA module.

Test the analogue outputs (classes 210-R and 310 transmitters)

Once the configuration of outputs and inputs has been performed, it is possible to test them with an external measurement device.

This test is available for the class 210-R transmitters only.

This test allows to check on a multimeter, a regulator or an automate, the proper functioning of the outputs. The transmitter will generate a voltage (between 0 and10 V) or a current (between 0 and 20 mA) according the setting of the electronic board switch.

• For a 0-10 V output signal, the transmitter will generate 0 – 5 or 10 V.
• For a 0-5 V output signal, the transmitter will generate 0 – 2.5 or 5 V.
• For a 4-20 mA output signal, the transmitter will generate 4 – 12 or 20 mA.
• For a 0-20 mA output signal, the transmitter will generate 0 – 10 or 20 mA.

Before trying to perform an outputs diagnostic, check that connections and configurations of the transmitter are operational to avoid any damage on the transmitter and on the external device.

• Select a channel for the outputs diagnostic.
• OUT1 or OUT2, indicated on the electronic board above the terminal blocks.
• Connect a measurement device on the channel 1 or 2.

Once the connection is done, it is possible to diagnose the analogue outputs on several checkpoints:

• Click “Test” on the “Analogue I/O” window. The following window opens:
•  Click 0%, 50%, 100% or Reset.

Diagnostic button

Reset| Back to measurement mode
0%| 0 V| 0 V| 0 mA| 4 mA
50%| 5 V| 2.5 V| 10 mA| 12 mA
100%| 10 V| 5 V| 20 mA| 20 mA

SET THE MEASUREMENT IN AIR VELOCITY AND AIRFLOW

This setting only concerns the CP210-R and CTV210-R transmitters and the class 310 transmitters with a pressure module or a velocity probe available in option.

Select the measuring means (CP210-R with SQR3 option, C310 and CA310 with pressure module and SQR3 option)

The calculation of air velocity being calculated from the pressure (for a CP 210-R transmitter and a class 310 transmitter) and from a differential pressure element, the used differential pressure element must be selected to perform the measurements. The coefficient of this element and the air velocity correction coefficient must be then entered.

• Click “Velocity and flow”.
  • The following window opens:

In “Measurement” part:

• Select the measuring means between:
  • Pitot L
  • Pitot S

Set the temperature compensation (CP210-R, C310 and CA310)

It is possible to modify the temperature compensation value. Indeed, the air velocity and the airflow measured with a Pitot tube and/or Debimo blades (or with any other differential probe) depends on the operating temperature. Therefore, it is necessary to enter the operating temperature in order to get more coherent results.

In “Compensation” part:

• Select the unit (°C or °F)
• Enter the temperature compensation value.

Set the type of section (CP210-R, CTV210-R, C310 and CA310)

    OR

• Enter the Cd value for a flow coefficient.

• Click “Write configuration” on the bottom of the window to send the modifications to the transmitter.

CONFIGURE THE RELAYS

The relay outputs are, by default, in negative security: the relay is energised during an alarm condition. Via the software, it is possible to configure the relays in positive security: the relay is de-energised during an alarm condition or a power cut.

Class 210-R transmitters

• Click “Relay”.
• Select “Positive” or “Negative”.

To perform a relay test:

• Select in the drop-down list the alarm mode between:
  • No alarm
  • Rising edge mode and delay
  • Falling edge mode and delay
  • Control (Threshold 1, Threshold 2 and delay)

  OR

• Adjust the values of the thresholds 1 and 2 and the delays 1 and 2 for the mode “Control (Threshold 1, Threshold 2 and delay)”.

• Click “Write configuration” to send the modifications to the transmitter.

C310 and CA310 transmitters

• Click “Relay”.
  • The following window opens:
• Select “ON”, “OFF” or “Alarm 1, 2, 3, 4” in the list of the required relay.
  • “ON” is selected: the relay is permanently activated.
  • “OFF” is selected: the relay is deactivated.
  • “Alarm 1, 2, 3 or 4” is selected: the relay triggering is assigned to an alarm previously configured.
• Select “Positive” or “Negative”.

To activate the relay in function of alarms, these latter must be fully configured.

To perform a relay test:

• Click “Relay test 1, 2, 3 or 4”: the relay switch then returns to its normal state after 1 second.

OTHERS SETTINGS

Class 210-R transmitters

Set the time-delay between self-calibrations (CP211-R and CP212-R)

For pressure transmitters having a self-calibration solenoid valve (CP211-R and CP212-R), it is possible to set an interval between two self-calibrations.

• Press “Settings”.
  • The following window opens:
• Set the time-delay in minute from 0 (Off, no time-delay) to 60 minutes.
• Click “Write configuration” on the bottom of the window to send the modifications to the transmitter.

Pressure measurement integration (CP210-R and CTV210-R)

The pressure measurement element is very sensitive and reacts to pressure changes. When making measurements in unstable air movement conditions, the pressure measurement may fluctuate. The integration coefficient (from 0 to 9) makes an average of the measurements; this helps to avoid any excessive variations and guarantees a stable measurement. New displayed value = [((10 – Coef.) x New value) + (Coef. x Old value)] /10
Example: CP212 (0-1000 Pa) – First measurement: 120 Pa – New measurement: 125 Pa
The pressure source is stable, the user applies a low integration. Integration: 1, maximum variation allowed ±10 Pa. The variation is less than 10 Pa, we apply the integration calculation formula.
Next measurement displayed: ((9 125) + (1 120 ))/10 = 124.5 i.e 124 Pa. If the new value had been 131 Pa, the next displayed value would have been 100% of the new value, i.e 131 Pa.

Still in the “Settings” panel:

• Set the integration value between 0 and 9 with:
  • Coefficient 0: no integration, important fluctuation of the displayed measurement, fast response time.
  • Coefficient 9: maximum integration, more stable reading, slowest response time.
• Click “Write configuration” on the bottom of the window to send the modifications to the transmitter.

Class 310 transmitters

The purge mode allows to freeze the measurement in the display, block the analogue outputs and activate the relay 1 in order to command a collecting system of an aeraulic network and activate the relay 2 in order to isolate the transmitter.

• Click “Settings”.
  • The following window opens:

In the “Purge” part:

• Select “ON” to activate the purge mode.
• Adjust the purge time between 0 and 100 seconds.

• Click “Write configuration” at the bottom of the window to send the modifications to the transmitter.

Enter an integration

It is possible to enter an integration coefficient allowing to smooth the measurement and thus to avoid the untimely variations. The concerned settings are the pressure and the velocity.

In the “Integration” part:

• Select the integration coefficient in pressure between 0 and 9. A pressure module must be connected to the transmitter.
• Select the integration coefficient in velocity between 0 and 9. A velocity probe must be connected to the location 1 or 2 of the transmitter.
• Click “Write configuration” at the bottom of the window to send the modification to the transmitter. Coefficient 0: no integration

Coefficient 9: maximum integration, reading more stable.
