1. INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the System 1010BX Interface Detector. The System 1010BX
is a compact NEMA-7/EExd-rated explosion-proof Interface Detector. Intended for dedicated
applications, this versatile meter is easy to set up and operate. The 1010BX represents the
state-of-the-art in computerized instrumentation. We are confident that in a very short time,
you will appreciate its unrivaled performance and features; especially Controlotron’s ground
breaking enhanced transit-time Digitally Coded MultiPulse™ technology and the on-line au-
tomatic and interactive site setup help facility.
This section explains how to install the System 1010BX Interface Detector with a minimum of
effort. It also will illustrate how to use the Installation Menu to set up the system and explain
the basic connections to and from the instrument. For additional information on connections,
see the drawings at the end of manual.
1.1 IMPORTANT SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
The System 1010BX Interface Detector operates from either an external AC or DC power
source. Please observe all the electrical safety codes, etc., that apply to your application. We
recommend that only experienced personnel with knowledge of local electrical codes and safety
operating procedures perform the installation and wiring. It is solely the user’s responsibility
to operate this equipment safely. Controlotron cannot accept responsibility for any damage
that may occur due to failure to observe any local safety rules.
If this equipment is used for a hazardous application (high line pressure, hostile liquid charac-
teristics, perilous atmosphere, etc.), the end-user must ensure that only properly trained per-
sonnel are involved in its installation and operation.
Please do not let the size of the Installation Menu intimidate you. Almost all menu cells al-
ready contain default parameters. To begin operation, you only need to access the menu cells
that control a required parameter, such as the pipe outer diameter. You will see that by ac-
cepting most defaults, you can set up the meter in about five minutes.
