Liquid level transmittter, type AKS 41 / 41U

Signal damping

Signal damping is factory-set at 15 seconds.

This setting can be altered by activating the 

calibration switch (see page 4).

The setting range is 1 to 10 seconds.

Settings can also be made whilst the system is 

operating.

Procedure:

1.  

Connect the supply voltage.

.  

Push the calibration pushbutton once for each    

  second by which you want to increase the  

 

  damping.

  Example:

  1. push 

 

 1 sec.

  . pushes 

 

  sec.

  etc.

  10. pushes 

 10 sec.

  11. pushes 

 10 sec.

10 seconds after the last push, the value will be 

saved in the memory and the green LED will start 

flashing again.

After 10 seconds, a further push will start 

1-second signal damping again.

(If the damping setting is set too high, restart the 

procedure from step 1).

Calibration of the 

AKS 41 / 41U

AKS 41 / 41U will not need calibration if it is 

installed in refrigerant which is defined in AKS 

41 / 41U and the ordered length corresponds to 

actual refrigerant measuring range.

Calibration of the AKS 41 / 41U may be relevant:-

If the default setting does not fit and the max. 

/min. calibration points have to be adjusted. 
If the AKS 41 / 41U is used in a refrigerant, not 

already defined in AKS 41 / 41U.
If the electronic head is replaced on an 

existing AKS 41 / 41U sensor.

Usually the min. calibration point is chosen to be 

4 mA and the max. calibration point to be 0 mA, 

but it is also possible to calibrate the transmitter 

at other calibration points.

This opportunity can be useful when cali brating 

on a plant with no possibility of bringing the level 

to the limit points.

Adjusting the min. /max. calibration points:

Min. calibration:

1. 

Bring the refrigerant liquid level to desired  

 

  minimum level.

.  

Press the calibration pushbutton and keep it    

  activated in approx. 5 seconds, until green LED 

  stopps flashing.

3.  

Activate, within the next 10 seconds, the 

  calibration pushbutton once

 (If calibration  

 

  pushbutton is not activated within 10 seconds, 

  it will automatically leave calibration mode 

  and return to normal operation)
Green LED is ON in a few seconds, and then  

 

flashing.
Output is now 4 mA and AKS 41 / 41U is in  

 

normal operation

Max. calibration:

1.  

Bring the refrigerant liquid level to desired  

 

  maximum level.

.  

Press the calibration pushbutton and keep it    

  activated in approx. 5 seconds, until green LED 

  stopps flashing.

3.  

Activate, within the next 10 seconds, the  

 

  calibration pushbutton twice

 (If calibration  

 

  pushbutton is not activated within 10 seconds, 

  it will automatically leave calibration mode    

  and return to normal operation)
Green LED is ON in a few seconds, and then 

flashing.
Output is now 0 mA and AKS 41 / 41U is in 

normal operation

Default factory setting is:

0% (AKS 41 / 41U free of liquid) output signal: 4 mA
100% (AKS 41 / 41U fully covered by liquid) output
signal: 0 mA

The max. /min. points can be set to any value.
