MF-FD

MicaFlex Microcontroller-based Differential

pressure and flow transmitter with digital
indication

mi-277gb / 2008-12-03

Application

Output signal setting

MF-FD is a pressure transmitter designed for flow

measuring.
At delivery the output signal is set for 0...10 Volt.

The Volt and mA output signal has different terminals. Check that the correct output is connected.
Place the miniature switch no 3 in position "OFF"
for Volt signal (factory setting) or in position "ON"
for mA-signal.

Installation

AB MICATRONE 2008-12-03 [h: \ appdok \ typeset \ mima \ mi-277gb_081203.vp]

version 3.x

MF-FD is designed for wall mounting. Remove the

cover and mount the casing using max 4
screws in a suitable location. Drill pattern can be
found on the backside of the enclosure.

ON

Pressure connections
Connection are made for HT-plastic tube 8/6 mm.
Pressure connections [+] and [-] are connected to
the flow measuring device according to its guide
lines.

Zero adjustment
Switch on the voltage and wait at least 60 sec.
Set the manifold valve in position calibration (if
there is no valve, loosen the pressure tubes from
the MF-FD).
Remove the cover to access the adjustment keys
on the main circuit board.
Press down the "zero-setting"-button until the LED
turns off. Release the button and the zero-setting
is finished.

Setting of damping
The MF-FD offers a possibility to set different
damping (time constant). At delivery the damping
is set to 1,50 seconds damping. Setting is adjusted with the miniature switch contacts no 4 and
5 (the switch is situated on the bottom left edge of
the main circuit board, see figure).

Depending on the selected output signal, 0...10

volt or 4...20 mA, the max output signal is obtained when miniature switch no 1 I set to position"ON". This function can be used to check the
receiving system.

pressing the PGM key. When the last digit is programmed and confirmed with the PGM key, all
digits will flash simultaneous and then turn to
show the parameter.

Display unit

Press the ESC key to return to normal indication

of actual pressure.

MF-FD is fitted with a 4-digit LED display and

two LEDs for flow or pressure indication. Shifting
between flow or pressure indication is done with
the 6-key on the display circuit board. This function does not affect the selected output signal,
only the indication of measured flow or pressure.
Programming of all parameters is done by four
keys on the display circuit board.

This parameter is programmed to obtain alarm at
decreasing flow (Low alarm) or for increasing flow
(High alarm) or no alarm function (Off).

Transformer (Optional)
The output signal is normally NOT galvanically
separated to the supply voltage. To obtain galvanic
separation between the output signal and the supply voltage on a standard transmitter, the apparatus must be equipped with a plug-in transformer.
