4.4.7
Calibration for dust concentration measurement
For exact dust concentration measurement, the relation between the primary measured
variables transmission (
→
extinctioin) or scattered light intensity and the actual dust
concentration in the duct must be established. To do this, the dust concentration must be
determined based through a gravimetric comparison measurement according to
DIN EN 13284-1 and set in relation to the values measured at the same time by the
measuring system.
Steps to be carried out
4.4.7.1
Calibrating dust concentration measurement based on extinction
▸
Select device file “MCU”, set the measuring system to “Maintenance” mode
▸
Enter the Level 1 password (
see “Password and operating levels”, page 84
▸
Select the “Configuration / IO Configuration / Output Parameters” directory (
ET menu: MCU/Configuration/IO configuration/Output Parameters”, page 71
assign the “Extinction” measured variable to an analog output.
▸
Estimate the measuring range required for the dust concentration in operational state
and enter this in the “Analog Output 1
(2/3)
Scaling” field assigned to the selected
analog output for output of the extinction.
▸
Deactivate “Maintenance” mode.
▸
Carry out the gravimetric comparison measurement according to DIN EN 13284-1.
▸
Determine regression coefficients from the mA values of the analog output for
“Scattered light intensity” and the actual dust concentrations measured gravimetrically.

K2, K1, K0:
Regression coefficients of the function c = f (I

:

Ext: Measured
extinction
LZ:
Live Zero
MBE:
Defined upper range limit value
(value entered for 20 mA;
normally 2.5 x fixed limit value)
▸
Enter the regression coefficients
There are two options:
– Direct input of K2, K1, K0 in a measured value computer.
NOTE:
Carrying out a gravimetric comparison measurement demands special knowledge that
cannot be described in detail here.

NOTICE:
After calibration, the regression coefficients set in the sender/receiver unit and
the measuring range set in the MCU may not be changed anymore.
On the LC-Display (option), the dust concentration is shown in mg/m³ as
uncalibrated value.
