5. Optimize control settings
Instruments have been configured and optimized in the factory based on standard testing
conditions. Depending on the actual process conditions such as pressure, temperature and fluid
properties, an adjustment can improve the control response.
Disclaimer
Changing the control characteristics can have a negative effect on the behaviour of the Liquid
Dosing Set. It is strongly advised to:
- Log or store the default control settings
- Ensure process variations are minimized or eliminated
- Make changes with small increments
- Request support from a trained Bronkhorst service engineer
Please refer to the specific Liquid Flow Controller manual for more details and instructions.
5.1 Changing Filter Settings
Controller speed can be increased by changing or disabling output and sensor filters.
Disabling filters, however, not only makes the instrument faster, it also makes it more sensitive to
vibrations and electrical noise.
