5.1
Type IMC
5.1.1
Functions
▪
Course of Measurement
The transmitters build in the IMC also measure continuously. The channels of the IMC are acti-
vated in the menu Channel Configuration by setting the Mode ON.
▪
Monitoring of Ambient Air
Channels which are not needed for the IMC measurement can easily be used for a continuous
monitoring of ambient air. Performance of these channels corresponds to the normal measuring
operation of the control unit. Channels for monitoring of ambient air are also activated in the
menu Channel Configuration by setting the Mode ON.
▪
Status Monitoring
The following status monitoring functions are integrated in this version:
rotary speed monitoring of both fans
flow rate monitoring: message for under-scale of nominal range
temperature monitoring of the measured gas cooler (if installed)
In the first two cases a message leads to system fault of the control unit.
As long as the measured gas cooler does not reach its operating temperature, for example dur-
ing the warm-up phase after initial operation, the gas suction pump remains switched off.
▪
Functional Extensions
For maintenance purposes the gas inlet of the IMC can be switched to the inlet test gas / flush-
ing air by means of the magnetic valve. For that purpose you have to select the menu Mainte-
nance. By means of the keys SHIFT + F4 it can be switched between both gas inlets.
