VCS – Viscosity Controller 

3.1.1.1

 

Installation checklist 

 

 

Verify the contents of the product shipment to confirm that you have all parts and information 

necessary for the installation. 

 

Make sure that all electrical safety requirements are met for the environment in which the controller will 

be installed. 

 

Make sure that the local ambient temperatures and pressure are within the limits of the controller. 

 

Make sure that you will have adequate access to the controller for verification and maintenance. 

 

Verify that you have all equipment necessary for your installation. Depending on your application, you 

may be required to install additional parts for optimal performance of the controller. 

3.1.1.2

 

Best practices 

 
The following information can help you get the most from your Controller. 

 

Handle the Controller with care. Follow local practices for lifting or moving the meter. 

 

Always store and transport the Controller in its original packaging. 

 

Do not expose the Controller to excessive vibration (greater than 0.5 g continuously). Vibration levels in 

excess of 0.5 g can affect the meter accuracy. 

 

3.1.1.3

 

Power requirements 

 

Following are the DC power requirements to operate the controller: 

 

Power supply: 100 to 250 VAC, approx. 14 VA 

 

alternative 24 V AC / DC 

 

Power cable recommendations for explosion-proof/flameproof controller 

3.1.1.4

 

Other installation considerations 

 

Numerous external factors can affect the meter's successful operation. To ensure that your system works correctly, 

consider the factors covered in this section when designing your installation. 

 

 

Select a location away from electrical and magnetic fields.  

 

3.1.2

 

Installation 

 

Before installation inspect the controller for any visible signs of damage caused during transport. Check power 
supply acc. to name plate. 

Push the housing from the front into the DIN- panel cut-out and secure from behind with the fastening devices 

supplied. 

 

The controller is designed for panel mounting, a panel thickness of 2.5 mm is required. 

 
To panel-mount the controller 

1.

 

Cut a hole of the correct size (96.8 x 96.8 mm) 

2.

 

Insert the controller 

3.

 

Mount and fix the clamps  

Do not overtighten the screws and allow sufficient space for cable installation and service.
