General information
Start-up primarily comprises entering equipment data (e.g. measuring path, installation
angle), parameter settings for output variables and reaction times and, if required, the
check cycle setting (
). A zero adjust is not necessary.
An additional velocity measurement flow calibration in the final end user application using
e. g. network point measurement with a reference measuring system (e.g. dynamic
pressure probe) is necessary only when the velocity profile on the measuring axis is not
representative for the overall cross-section. The regression coefficients determined can
then be entered into the device without problems (
The SOPAS Engineering Tool (SOPAS ET) program is included and serves to set the
parameters. The Menu structure simplifies changing settings. Further functions are also
available (e.g. data storage, graphic displays).
If stable measuring behavior over all equipment states cannot be attained using standard
settings (e.g. during device usage at the limits or outside of the specification according to
the Technical Data), improvement is possible by optimizing internal device parameters.
The required settings may only be made by sufficiently qualified persons due to incorrect
settings meaning that the device functionality is no longer ensured. This work should only
be carried out by SICK Service. Possible settings are described in the Service Manual.
We recommend to use the SICK Commissioning check list (
) for
easy parameter setting.
