 14 6 F 8 A 0 7 8 71OVERVIEWThe LQ300A00****** Density Meter measures the density of a substance that flows in a tank andthrough a pipe by means of a phase difference method using microwaves.This method is little affected by the presence of contamination. It uses no moving mechanical parts ormechanism that is often used in other measuring methods for cleaning, sampling, or defoaming. Itpermits continuous measurement.The density meter, which outputs measured density in electric current, is suitable for an application in aprocess for monitoring and controlling.1.1 Principle of MeasurementThis  insertion type density meter LQ300A00******  has adopted a new measuring method called“Phase difference method by microwaves.”  When microwaves go through a substance and comes out ofit, by measuring the phase lag of the waves, we get a certain physical property of the substance that isproportional to the density.The theory of density measurement based on the phase difference method is shown in Figure 1.1The difference between the phase lagθ1 of the microwave received through water (density 0%) and thephase lagθ2 of the microwave received through the object substance, that is,Δθ = θ2  − θ1is determined, and since the differenceΔθis in direct proportion to the density, the density of theobject substance is measured.Phase difference △θ=θ2−θ1Phase lag θ2Substance measured Water  Transmitted  microwavesReceived microwaveswith phase lag θ1Fig. 1.1  Principle of phase angle difference
 15 6 F 8 A 0 7 8 71.2 FeaturesThe Insertion Type Density Meter has the following features compared to the flow-through type densitymeter:(1) Applicable to the larger size piping or tank of more than 300 mm in meter sizeIn this system the transmission and reception applicators (antenna) are installed at a fixeddistance in a pipe and then the pipe itself is inserted into a larger pipe or a tank thus theinstallation of this density meter is not dependent on pipe size. The density meter can measure thefluid density in a pipe or tank exceeding 300 mm in diameter.(2) Fluid materials with its conductivity up to 15mS/cm can be measuredNew applicators are developed so that the radiation power of microwaves are concentrated on thearea between the transmission and reception applicators (antenna) and its reception applicatorcan prevent unwanted electromagnetic waves from outside and this made the density meterapplicable to higher conductivity fluid materials of up to 15 mS/cm. In the case of 250 mm or 300mm pipe size, the flow-through type density meter may be difficult to measure fluid materials dueto conductivity problems but with this insertion type density meter the measurement may bepossible.(3) Fluid materials with its density up to 50% TS can be measured(4) Conformed to low-level radio-wave equipmentThe output of microwaves is as low as 1 mW that this density meter is categorized as low-levelradio-wave equipment. Therefore the user is free to use this density meter without applying forpermission, registration, and licenses and so on to use this density meter.Compared with the conventional method, this phase difference measurement method using microwaves,in principle, has the following features.(1) Not easily affected by contamination and bubbles.This method is measuring the variation of the transmission time but not for measuring theattenuation of the wave motion strength that has been transmitted into the measured matter.Therefore, it is unnecessary for the window part for sending/receiving microwaves to betransparent as the optical type.(2)High liability and simple maintenance.This reliability of this density meter is high because it has no moving parts like the rotary pulpdensity meter does. In addition, it has no consumable parts such as bearings or pulleys and thus itsmaintenance is easy.(3) Not easily affected by the pulp material type or freeness.Taking density measurements captivating the dielectric change following the density change inthe measured matter, the new method has the feature of not easily affected by the pulp materialtype or freeness, etc.(4) Capable of continuous measurement.(5) Can easily change the measurement range.(6) The operation is simple because complex processings such as density calculation and correction,etc. are performed automatically by micro computers.(7) Remote control is made possible by using the hand-held terminal AF100LQ3 type (optional),which is a specialized terminal for communication.<Supplementary Explanation>Density meter LQ300A00****** is equipped with the display/operation consoles asstandard. Therefore, if the meter is installed on a location easy for maintenance, thehand-held terminal is not always needed.

Insufficient fluid flowing or bubbles staying in the tube will cause measuring errors orindicated-value fluctuations.(3) Avoid installing the density meter where the material to be measured precipitates and accumulates atthe bottom of the tank or pipe.(4) Avoid installing the density meter in a tank or pipe where bubbles are mixed in the fluid to be measured.(5) The front side of the density meter's converter section is equipped with an LED density display section.When installing the meter, choose a location and direction in which this density display section will beeasily visible. However, if it is difficult to look straight at the density value display area as a result ofinstallation layout, we recommend you order an optional external display unit.(6) In the event that the tank or piping system (where the density meter is installed) may no longer be full ofthe fluid while the pump is shut down or the density distribution in the density meter may becomeuneven, make sure to take measurements only while the pump is operating by using the externalinterlock function.(7) Take necessary measures to prevent vibrations of the pump, etc. from travelling through the densitymeter.(8) Select the type and material of the gasket to use in the tank or pipe in accordance with the connectionmethod and the fluid material to measure.(9) Make sure that the surface for the O-ring face and O-ring itself are clean without dirt or dust beforestarting the installation work.(10) We recommend the following tightening torque for bolts and nuts when mounting the flange for thedensity meter. Tightening torque: 10.0 to 13.5 N•m for M8 bolts and nuts(11) Perform the periodical inspection to make sure that the thin and long materials such as fur, fiber orstrings are not entangled in the applicators (antenna), or there are no scratches or cracks.(12) Make sure that the applicator (antenna) is positioned more inside than the internal wall of the tank orpipe. The distance from the mounting flange face of the insertion probe area to the internal wall shouldbe 120 mm or less.<Piping Precautions>(13) We recommend the installation should be made to a vertical piping system. The density meter canoperate the same performance even in a horizontal installation but only a vertical installation is allowedfor item (14).(14) The installation should be made to a vertical piping system in the following cases:a) Bubbles may remain in the piping.b) The distribution of density in the piping may become uneven because the material to bemeasured precipitates or floats unusually due to slow flow rate etc.c) When main piping is enlarged and the density meter is installed to a larger piping system than themain piping.(15) We recommend that the converter section stay at the top when the density meter is installed to ahorizontal piping system because the maintenance is easy and its performance is assured.(16) We recommend that the density meter should be installed at a point as far away as possible from a portopen to atmosphere and the water pressure is required a little to prevent bubbles from entering in thefluid to be measured.[NOTE]
 22 6 F 8 A 0 7 8 7(17) On both the upstream and downstream sides of the density meter, install shutoff valves. Furthermore,between these valves and the density meter, install the sampling port, the zero water supply port, theair release port, the drain port with a shutoff valve attached respectively. In the event that the flow of thepipe line cannot be stopped, provide a bypass pipe halfway with a shutoff valve attached. Whenperforming zero point calibration, these are needed to discharge the measured matter out of the densitymeter through its drain port and fill up the meter with fresh water of zero density. (See Figures 3.3.2 and3.3.3.)(18) As to insertion orientation, install the density meter so that a pair of antennas face toward upstream.<Precautions when installing the density meter in a tank>(19) In a tank, install the density meter so that the applicators (antenna) are submerged 150 mm or moreunder water from the surface. If the depth of water is less than 150 mm or the applicators surface staysabove the water level in cases like a pump operation, use the external synch signal and measure thedensity only when the applicators surface remains more than 150 mm under water (see Figure 3.3.1.)(20) Install the density meter far from such places as near the agitator in a tank where bubble are generatedand density disturbances occur and this affects the density measurement.[NOTE]♦ Sampling valve:  Used to extract fluids for manual analysis. Install this valve to the side of thepipe in the case of horizontal installation. It is recommended that a 1-inchball valve be installed to the side of the pipe.♦ Zero point water valve: Used to supply drinking water (density or consistency 0%) to the detectorpipe for zero point adjustment. Install this valve at the top of the pipe in thecase of horizontal installation. It is recommended that a 1-inch ball valve beinstalled in the top of the pipe and zero point water is supplied through thisinlet using a vinyl hose etc.If valve water pipe is connected to this valve, air cannot be extracted.Therefore, another valve (vent valve) is needed to extract air.♦ Vent valve:  Used to vent process fluids to open air when performing zero adjustment.This helps the drinking water (density or consistency 0%) enter the detectorpipe easily. Install this valve in the top of the pipe in the case of horizontalinstallation.♦ Drain valve:  Used to drain the fluids before supplying drinking water (density orconsistency 0%) to the detector pipe for zero adjustment. Install this valve atthe lowest point of the pipe. It is recommended that a 1-inch ball valve beinstalled at the lowest point of the pipe.Metal tank1500mm or more120mm or lessWater surfaceFluid to be measuredFigure 3.3.1 Precautions when installing the density meter in a tank

Refer to these figures for correct wiring.[IMPORTANT](1) Provide a switch and a fuse to separate this unit from the mains power for ease of maintenance.Power requirement of this unit is 50VA.(2) Ground the LQ300A00****** with 100 Ohms or less ground resistance. Do not use a common groundshared by other power equipment. The demands of the meter are 50VAs.(3) Use a sheathed cable (CVV) with 2mm2 cross-sectional area for AC power cable and make sure thevoltage drop across the cable is less than 2 V. And use a M4 sized solderless contact for connectioncable with terminal.(4) The cables should be free from vibration or sway. The cables should be placed in thick-walled steelconduits.(5) Wire the LQ300A00****** output in conduit separated from those of AC power cable, control signals,alarm signal or other cables which could become the source of noise.(6) Use a 2-wire shielded sheathed cable (CVVS) to wire the LQ300A00****** output (4 - 20mAdc). Andground the shielded cable on the receiving instrument side. For performing the conductivitycompensation, use a 2-wire shielded sheathed cable (CVVS) to wire the LQ300A00****** conductivitysignal input (4-20mA). And ground the shielded cable on the receiving instrument side.(7) As the cable port is made air-tight using a packing, tighten the cable gland securely when all thewiring is completed. If the diameter of the cable is smaller than the inside diameter of the packing,enlarge the cable diameter to the same size as the packing by wrapping valves around the cable. Itssuitable diameter is 11mm.(8) Tighten the terminal screws securely.  Appropriated torque to tighten the screws is 1.2 N・m .(9) Do not turn on the power of the density meter when the applicators (antenna) are taken out of thepiping system. Leakage of radio waves may cause interference to external equipment.

 58 6 F 8 A 0 7 8 76.2 Preparations before Turning on Power(1) Check pipingCheck piping and ensure that there are no loose nuts and bolts, or missing gaskets. Make sure thatthe density meter is properly connected in the pipeline.See the section 3.3, “Precautions when installing the density meter in a tank”.(2) Close the valvesMake sure that the drain valve, sampling valve, and zero water valve, which are installed in thepipeline, are all closed.(3) Verifying the cable connectionIt is verified that cables are correctly connected to their respective terminal blocks. It is verifiedthat the ground (grounding resister: less than 100 Ω) is reliably connected to this density meter.In the event of performing an external synchronized operation, the external contact input signalconnected with ON/OFF of the pump is required; therefore, make sure that the external contactinput signal cable is reliably connected.6.3 Power on and Preparations for Measuring6.3.1 Turning power on(1) Turn the power switch onTurn on the power switch of the converter and see that the power indicator(「POWER」), thedensity indicator, and the LCD display are lit.(2) Warming-upPlease warm up for 30 minutes or more to achieve a steady measurement after turning power on.
 59 6 F 8 A 0 7 8 76.3.2 Verifying and setting measurement conditions(1) Verifications and settings for initial powering-ONIn the event of starting the operation after turning on the power for the first time since installingthis density meter, it is necessary to first set the measurement conditions of the converter. Variousmeasurement conditions (parameters) are verified and set by means of the setting key whileviewing each menu screen of the LCD indicator. Major measurement conditions are as follows.1) Verifying and setting the measurement range.Unless otherwise specified in your order, the value here is set to 0 to 3%TS, which is theprovisional set value at the time of factory shipment. Reset the value in accordance with theoperation condition of your plant. If the measurement range is specified in your order, verifythat the value is set as specified. If the value is different, reset it.2) Verifying and setting the operation modeAt the time of factory shipment, this is set to "CONT" (the normal continuous operationmode). In the event of the density meter being made empty due to pump shutdown or valveclosure, etc. or of using such a method that stops the flow for some time, it is recommendedthat "EXT" (the external synchronized operation of switching between ON/OFF ofmeasurement by means of ON/OFF of the external contact input signal connected with thepump ON/OFF) be selected.In the event that the external synchronized operation is selected, the values of “delayed time(dt)” and “output at contact OFF(ho)” are the provisional set values at the factory shipment.If the those values are meet to the operation conditions of the plant rest it to an appropriatevalue in accordance with the operation conditions of the plant.3) Verifying and setting the simulated output in setting mode. Normal measurements aresuspended while this density meter is in the setting mode (see “2  SETTING MENU”); thus,both the density display and the density output are given the simulated values ( density testoutput (ot)) that are set beforehand. Although, at the time of factory shipment, the value isprovisionally set to "1.5%TS" (50% of the specified full-scale density if the measurementrange is specified), reset it to an appropriate value in accordance with the operationconditions of the plant.4) Verifying and setting the moving average  timesAt the time of factory shipment, the "moving average times" is set to 1 (without the movingaverage). If the averaged output is required to be used for density control, etc., set it to about10. The more the moving average times, the worse the responsiveness becomes with regardto density variation. Therefore, set it to an appropriate value in accordance with the plantconditions, including the right balance with the responsiveness.5) For other measurement conditions, the standard values are set. Therefore, it is normallyunnecessary to change these settings."10  VARIOUS FUNCTION" describes various functions of the Density Meter LQ300A00******. If necessary,make additional settings for using these functions appropriately.(2) Verifications at the time of normal power-ONIn the event that measurement conditions of the converter are already set with the operation notbeing the first one since installation, verify the set value while referring to (1).[NOTE]
 60 6 F 8 A 0 7 8 76.4 Zero CalibrationAll the density meters are calibrated for zero point [zero point phase ( θ1 ) zero point liquid temperature(T0), and atmospheric temperature (A0) ] at the time of shipment and parameters are set correctly. Youdo not need to calibrate the meter for zero point before using it at site.In the case of the density readings are found to be way off from the result by manual analysis, or whenyou need to read just the zero point for a particular reason, follow the procedures below in calibratingthe zero.For information on the converter operation and the LCD display regarding zero-point calibration, pleaserefer to Subsection 5.2.11.(1) Switching to the setting mode (see Subsection 5.2.5)First of all, press the [ESC] key of the converter several times (normally once although this varieswith the operation status) to return to the initial menu display. Next, use the [→] key to move theLCD indicator cursor to the menu number "2" of "2  SETTING MENU" and then press the [SET]key to display the warning message saying "Test output will be valid." Make sure that there is noproblem and then press [→] to get into the setting mode. To get into [2: SETTING MENU], it isnecessary to further enter the password "8000". Then, the output will be switched to thesimulated output that is set beforehand.(2) Stop the flow in or out from the tank and in the piping system.If it is possible to stop the flow in or out from the tank and in the piping system where the densitymeter is installed, do so by, for example, turning off the pump.●If it is not allowed to stop the fluid flow through the pipeline:When it is not permitted to stop the flow of the line, bypass the flow by opening the valve onthe bypass pipe.◆It is recommended that the bypass piping be installed for adjustment/maintenancepurposes such as zero calibration in the event that the flow in the pipe line cannot bestopped.(3) Close the upstream valve and downstream valveClose the shutoff valves on both sides of the detector tightly.Note: Be sure to close the upstream valve first.◆In the event that the density meter is installed on the discharge side of the pump, makesure to shut the valves starting from the upstream one to prevent the fluid pressure inthe density meter from rising.(4) Drain the detector pipeOpen the drain valve on the pipeline to discharge the fluid from the main pipe of the detector.(5) Open the zero water feed portOpen the valve or remove the cap to feed zero water.◆Make sure that the pressure of the fluid in the detector gets low enough to let the valveopen without causing blow out of the fluid. Any remaining pressure will cause themeasured matter to be spurted out. Be careful about this.(6) Close the drain valve
 61 6 F 8 A 0 7 8 7(7) Supplying zero waterPut zero water (such as tap water) in the density meter pipe through the zero water supply port byusing a vinyl hose.(8) Clean the tank or the piping system where the density meter is installed.When the detector main pipe is filled with water, open the drain valve to let out the water from themain pipe.Wash inside of the tank or the piping system where the density meter is installed by repeatingsteps (7) and (8) until the water density can be said to be zero against the density of the objectfluid. (It is not necessary to make the water clean and transparent.)(9) Fill the tank or the piping system where the density meter is installed.When cleaning is finished, close the drain valve and fill the tank or the piping system with zerowater. Keep adding water while releasing air until water overflows the supply port.(10) WaitLeave the detector and water in this state for about 5 minutes.◆In the event that the flow of the measured matter can be switched to that of the zero water byswitching over to another valve, etc., it is all right to replace the work activities (2) to (10)with the relevant method and implement the following zero calibration while allowing thezero water to keep flowing. Even when switching the flow to that of zero water, wait forabout 15 minutes before implementing the zero calibration.(11) Selecting the zero calibration menu (see Subsection 5.2.5)After verifying that the converter is in the setting mode ("2  SETTING MENU") through theoperation of (1), use the [→] key to move the cursor of the LCD indicator to the menu number "6"of [6  ZERO CALIBRATION] and then press the [SET] key.(12) Check zero water density reading (see Subsection 5.2.11)The measured density of zero water is displayed on the density indicator. If the indicator shows[-0.00], it means that the zero point is off toward the negative.◆In the Setting menu, LED density display indicates the preset Density Test output, but in theZero calibration menu, the LED density display indicates the density value measured at thesame time the calibration is executed so that it is possible to check the zero point before andafter the calibration.(13) Zero calibration (see Subsection 5.2.11)If the zero point is found to be off, press the [SET] key. The data (θ1, T0, A0, zG) of the zero pointis replaced by the current data, thus rendering the angle rotation to N=0 and automatically thedensity display to zero. The data (θ1, T0, A0, zG) of the zero point is stored in the memory of thedensity meter until the zero calibration is implemented once again, thus making it possible toverify it on the constant monitoring menu. However, for the purpose of history management, keepa note of the data.◆Unless the zero point is out of place, the zero calibration is suspended by pressing the [ESC]key.(14) End zero calibrationThis completes the zero calibration. Close the zero water valve, ensure that the sampling valveand drain valve are closed, then open the shutoff valves on both ends of the detector pipe,downstream first and upstream next. Lastly, close the shutoff valve on the bypass pipe to restorethe flow of the fluid as before the calibration.
 62 6 F 8 A 0 7 8 7(15) Restoring to the measuring modePress the [ESC] key of the converter twice to return the menu of the LCD indicator to the initialmenu display to return to the usual measuring mode from the setting mode. Thus, themeasurement starts.◆In the event that the external synchronized operation is selected, the external contact inputsignal is changed to ON, thus starting the density measurement after the specified delayedtime has elapsed.6.5 Span CalibrationSpan calibration is for adjusting the readings of the density meter to the values determined by manual(off-line) analysis.For information on the converter operation and the LCD display regarding span calibration, please referto Subsection 5.2.12.(1) Preparations for manual analysisPrepare following items for manual analysis; a moisture meter (for example, an infrared moisturemeter, with the accuracy or percentage reading down to 0. 1 %), plastic bottles of about l literwith a wide opening, and plastic beakers of about l00 ml for manual analysis.(2) Sample fluid for manual analysisSlightly open the sampling valve on the pipeline and let out the fluid a while before filling a 1-liter bottle to half. Read and record the density value of the current fluid.◆Make sure to carry out the sampling when the density of the measured matter is in a stable state with themeasured matter flowing.(3) Manual analysisPut a part of the sample fluid into a 100-ml plastic beaker, and measure the density of it usingdrying and weighing method of analysis.(4) Calculation of density multiplierUse the result of analysis to calculate a density multiplier using the following equation after themanual analysis conducted:Density multiplier C = A/(M/C’)where M is the density by the density meter (as read and recorded);A is the result of the manual analysisC’ is the density multiplier before span calibration(Initially, C’ is equal to 1.000 which is the value set in the factory before shipping)For example, if M = 4.0 z%TS, A = 4.8 %TS and C’=1.000C = 4.8 / (4.0/1) = 4.8/4.0 = 1.2◆In the case that span calibration has been done already, and density multiplier C is not 1.000,the new density multiplier C can be calculated in the following way.For example, if M = 4.8 %TS, A = 4.2 %TS and C0=1.2 C = 4.2 / (4.8/1.2) = 4.2/4 = 1.05[NOTE]

Verify that the densitydisplay has been changed appropriately in accordance with the setting of the densitymultiplier.◆In the event that the external synchronized operation is selected, the external contactinput signal is changed to ON, thus starting the density measurement after thespecified delayed time has elapsed.(6) Completing the span calibrationThus, the span calibration is completed.The above describes the method for finding the density multiplier as an example in the comparison with one-time manual analysis. However, to exclude errors caused by sampling, it is recommended that as manycomparative data as possible be collected to find the density multiplier from their mean value.[NOTE]
 64 6 F 8 A 0 7 8 76.6 Operation(1) Startup (see Subsection 5.2.5)When the power is turned ON, the menu setup is automatically changed to the measuring mode(the state of "1: MONITORING MENU"), thus starting the density measurement. If the meter isin setting mode (the state of "2:SETTING MENU"), the density measurement operation is startedby pressing the [ESC] key several times (varying between one to three times depending on theoperation status) and thus pulling the menu setup out of the setting mode.◆In the event that the external synchronized operation is selected, the menu setup is changedto the measuring mode and the external contact input signal is turned ON, thus starting thedensity measurement after the specified delayed time has elapsed..(2) Executing the measurementExecutes the density measurement while updating the output values (density current outputvalue; LED density display; LCD density display on the monitor menu) approximately everysecond.(3) Suspending the measurement (see Subsection 5.2.5)When stopping the measurement, select "2: SETTING MENU" from the initial menu list to getinto the setting mode. Once in the setting mode, the density measurement will be suspended andthe output will be switched to the simulated value that was set beforehand.◆In the event that the external synchronized operation is selected, the density measurement issuspended if the external contact input signal is turned OFF even in the measuring mode. Fordetails including the output when the density measurement is suspended, refer to Section6.7.◆In the event that the measured matter does not flow continuously or the interior of the detector istemporarily left empty due to the intermittent operation of the shifting pump to the tank or the pipingsystem on which the tank or the piping system (where the density meter is installed) is installed,perform the external synchronized operation described in Section 6.7.◆When the flow in the pipe has stopped, solid matters may subside or float causing the density in thepipe to lose its uniformity, which in turn may cause the density measured value to gradually rise or fall.In addition, if some fluid escapes from the pipe and thus the tank or the piping system (where thedensity meter is installed) is not completely full of the measured matter, the density measured valueturns out to be erroneous (such as full-scale excess; shift to the minus side; major marginal error).However, this does not mean that the density meter has failed. Even to avoid such a phenomenon, it isnecessary to perform the external synchronized operation.[NOTE]
 65 6 F 8 A 0 7 8 76.7 External Synchronized OperationThis operation mode is used in the event that the measured matter does not flow continuously or theinterior of the detector is temporarily left empty due to the intermittent operation of the shifting pump tothe pipe line on which the density meter is installed. This mode is used to take measurements only whenoperating the shifting pump.To use this operation mode, it is necessary to connect the shifting pump operation and the contact signal(no-voltage) to the external synchronized input signal pins beforehand.6.7.1 Movement of the external synchronized operationFig.6.7.1 External synchronized OperationThe external synchronized operation, as shown in Fig. 6.7.1, is so designed that the densitymeasurement is executed only while the pump is being operated; and the density measurement issuspended while the pump is shut down and the simulated output is issued during this time. The externalsynchronized operation is effective in preventing the following inadequate phenomena.(1) The pump shutdown causes solid matters to subside or float thus making it impossible to take densitymeasurements correctly.(2) The pump shutdown may cause the fluid to escape from the tank or the piping system (where the densitymeter is installed) thus either leaving it completely empty or insufficiently filled with fluid. In such a situation,the measured value of the density meter falls into error such as full-scale excess, shift to the minus side, oroccurrence of fluctuation within major marginal error.It takes time for the tank or the piping system (where the density meter is installed) to be filledsufficiently with the measured matter after the pump is operated. Here, it is so arranged that themeasurement start after the "delayed time" that is set beforehand has elapsed since receiving the contactsignal linked with the pump operation. Make sure that the delayed time that is set is sufficient for thewhole process of the pipe length and flow, etc. from the pump to the density meter.As the simulated value when the density measurement is suspended, it is possible to select from amongthree options: "4mA", "density measured value immediately preceding the pump shutdown" and"simulated output in setting mode". The default value is 4mA. However, make sure to select a simulatedoutput suitable to your system.Pump operating status(External contact)Density measuringstatus(Output)TimeTimeDelayed timePump operation (ON) Pump shutdown (OFF)Pump shutdown (OFF)Suspension of densitymeasurement (Simulatedoutput)Suspension of densitymeasurement(Simulated output)Execution of densitymeasurement(Measured valueoutput)

Keep mixervanes under water. Position the pump inletlow enough. Keep fluid pressure high(0.1MPa or more is recommended).Large quantity of bubbles arecontained in the fluid.5Too much differencebetween measured densityand manual analysis value  Remedy the locations containing air bubbles.An example is to position the blade of theagitator in the tank below the fluid level.Another example is to position the inlet port ofthe pump sufficiently below the fluid level. Take necessary steps to make the fluidpressure high (0.1MPa or more isrecommended). It is desirable to install the meter on thedischarge port of the pump. At the sametime, make sure that the meter is placed asfar as possible (closer to the pump) fromthe pipe outlet for air release.6Measured density varieswidely and does not agreewith manual analysis value.The tank or the piping system (wherethe density meter is installed) is notflowing filled with substance to bemeasured. Or bubbles stay in the tankor the piping system (where thedensity meter is installed).Keep the tube always filled up with fluid byclosing the downstream valve slightly or add arelief valve.

The density (X) of the measured matter iscalculated in accordance with the following equation.X  = C ×( a × △θ )+ b whereX: Measured density value (%TS)△θ : Phase difference. △θ = θ2−θ1 (degrees)a: Density line slope;b: Density intercept;c: Density multiplier (Density correction factor.)
 75 6 F 8 A 0 7 8 79.2 Various Kinds of Corrections9.2.1 Phase angle rotation correctionThe phase is available only from 0 degree to 360 degrees. If the phase incrementally reaches 360degrees, it returns to 0 degree, from which it keeps incrementing again. If the phase decreasinglyreaches 0 degrees, it returns to 360 degrees, from which it keeps decreasing again. Accordingly, theconcept of phase angle rotation is incorporated into this density meter and some corrections have beenmade so to allow the phase to change to an unlimited extent. In such a manner, this density meter hasovercome the limit that the phase is available only from 0 to 360 degrees, thus realizing high densitymeasurement.Phase angle rotation correction refers to obtaining the real phase angle θ2 by judging the number ofrotations the dummy angle θ2' belongs to based on the measured values coming before and after.θ2 = θ2' + N x 360 (degrees)N: Number of rotationsSet N=0 at the time of zero calibration, making the number of rotations to zero for the phase angleθ1 at zero point.If the θ2' exceeds 360 degrees to enter into the next rotation, set N=1. If it again exceeds 360degrees to enter into the rotation after the next rotation, set N=2.(N will move up to 2 only if the meter is of large diameter and the density is high.)On the other hand, if θ2' goes below zero (0) degree to enter into the previous rotation, decreaseN by one (1). In other words, when it goes into the -1st rotation from the 0th one, set N=−1; andwhen into the 0th rotation from the 1st one, set N=0.Note: The description above is the basics regarding the phase angle rotation correction. Normally, it isall right to use the density meter without being aware of this correction. However, in the event ofmeasuring high density, etc., special setups and actions may be needed. For details, refer toSection 9.3.9.2.2 Liquid temperature correctionThe phase tends to change in a straight line with regard to the liquid temperature. In this connection,liquid temperature correction is performed on θ2 as follows to obtain the phase difference △θ△θ={θ2−α(Τ−Τ0)}− θ1△θ :Phase difference [degrees]θ2 :Actual phase angle of measurement object liquid [degrees]θ1:Phase during zero water measurement (degrees)(Measured during zero calibration, and set in advance as a constant)α:Liquid temperature correction factor (degrees/°C)T  :Temperature of measurement object liquid (°C)T 0 :Liquid temperature during zero calibration (°C)(Measured during zero calibration, and set in advance as a constant)

 77 6 F 8 A 0 7 8 79.3 Phase Angle Rotation Correction (Details)This section describes the special setups and actions required for cases of measuring high density. Innormal measurement, it is unnecessary to be aware of the phase angle rotation correction, which isperformed automatically.9.3.1 Care point concerning phase angle rotationAs described in 9.2.1, the number of phase angle rotations N is incremented or decreased judging fromthe values before and after the measured value. Such a processing requires the condition that themeasured phase value varies continuously in accordance with the density of the measured matter. If thetank or the piping system (where the density meter is installed) is empty, however, the continuity ofmeasured phase values is damaged thus making a normal phase angle rotation correction impossible,which in turn may cause the number of phase angle rotations to jump to a faulty value. If the number ofphase angle rotations N is inappropriate, the density calculation result will also turn out to be erroneous.Once such a trouble occurs, it is necessary to reset the number of phase angle rotations N to anappropriate value through manual input.9.3.2 Phase angle rotation in external synchronized operationThe trouble previously described will be solved by performing the "external synchronized operation"incorporated into this density meter. In the external synchronized operation, if the contact signal isswitched OFF synchronized with the pump shutdown, not only the output is switched to the simulatedone but also the immediately preceding value is kept as the number of phase angle rotations N.9.3.3 Outline of automatic adjustment function of phase angle rotationsFurthermore, this density meter is equipped with the function of "automatic adjustment of phase anglerotations." This function judges whether the measured density calculated with the number of phaseangle rotations N is proper or not in terms of the set density measurement range, etc. and then adjusts thenumber of phase angle rotations either incrementally or decreasingly if necessary. Even when the tankor the piping system (where the density meter is installed) is temporarily made empty thus causing thenumber of phase angle rotations N to jump to an inappropriate value, this function is also used to fill upthe density meter detector once again with the matter to be measured and automatically adjust thenumber of phase angle rotations N to an appropriate value, which in turn will render an appropriatevalue for the measured density. While the tank or the piping system (where the density meter isinstalled) is left empty, the measured phase value itself comes to have an indefinite value, which in turnwill render the measured density indefinite. Therefore, if the tank or the piping system (where thedensity meter is installed) could be made empty, it is desirable to perform the external synchronizedoperation.9.3.4 Judgment conditions and adjustments for automatic adjustment of phase angle rotationsThe judgment conditions and adjustments regarding the automatic adjustment of phase angle rotationsand the measured density are listed in Table 9.3.1.

To obtain the value, multiplied the value when C = 1 in Table 9.3.2 by C.Table 9.3.2  Xmax Value (%TS)CXMAX0.7 21.171.0 30.241.8 54.439.3.5 Restrictions and invalidation in applying the automatic adjustment of phase angle rotationsThis function of automatic adjustment of phase angle rotations involves some application restrictions.For example, it cannot be applied to the case of measuring high density as follows.<Example> Upper density measurement range: 20%TS; and density multiplier: 0.7As shown in Table 9.3.2, Xmax=21.17(%TS). Therefore, when the measured densityexceeds 21.17(%TS), the adjustment of decreasing the number of phase angle rotationsapplies as shown in Table 9.3.1, thus making it impossible to measure the density inexcess of 21.17(%TS).To solve the problems as shown in the example above, measurement is taken so that the function ofautomatic adjustment of phase angle rotations is automatically invalidated if the upper measureddensity range exceeds Xmax.Check the operating conditions to see if the function of automatic adjustment of phase angle rotations isapplicable or not.In the cases where the automatic adjustment of phase angle rotations is not applicable, after the tank or the pipingsystem (where the density meter is installed) is temporarily made empty, it is necessary to reset the phase anglerotation to an appropriate value through manual input. In the cases, it is more desirable to perform the externalsynchronized operation.9.3.6 Invalidation by setting the automatic adjustment of phase angle rotationsAs mentioned in the previous subsection, the density meter is equipped with the function ofautomatically invalidating the function of automatic adjustment of phase angle rotations, based on theconditions for setting the upper density measurement range and the density multiplier. However, in thestate of starting the operation, the upper density measurement range is determined but the densitymultiplier is not determined yet (determined in the span calibration described in Section 6.5), thus theoperation is started with a provisional value (initial value: 1). Therefore, the function of automatic[NOTE]
 79 6 F 8 A 0 7 8 7adjustment of phase angle rotations, which is supposed to be invalidated, may not be invalidated,making it impossible to take an appropriate measurement (including the span calibration). This appliesto the case in which the original density multiplier is smaller than the current set value (the initial value1 in the initial operation).There are two ways of dealing with such a case.One is to automatically invalidate the function of automatic adjustment of phase angle rotations byprovisionally setting a sufficiently small value such as about 0.5 for the density multiplier C so thatXmax is smaller than the upper density measurement range.Another is to forcibly invalidate the function of automatic adjustment of phase angle rotations. Thelatter's setting method is described below.(1) Switching to the setting mode (see Subsection 5.2.5)First of all, press the [ESC] key of the converter several times (normally once although this varieswith the operation status) to return to the initial menu display. Next, use the [→] key to move theLCD indicator cursor to the menu number "2" of "2  SETTING MENU" and then press the [SET]key to display the warning message saying "Test output will be valid." Make sure that there is noproblem and then press [→] to get into the setting mode. To get into [2: SETTING MENU], it isnecessary to further enter the password "8000". Then, the output will be switched to thesimulated output that is set beforehand.(2) Selecting the "OTHERS" setting menu (see Subsection 5.2.5)Initially, the menu list of menu numbers 5 to 8 is displayed. However, by pressing the [UP] keyonce, this display can be switched to the menu list of the next menu numbers 9 to 11. Use the [→]key to move the LCD indicator cursor to the menu number "11" of "11: OTHERS" and then pressthe [SET] key to select the menu of "11: OTHERS."(3) Verifying or changing ON/OFF of automatic adjustment of phase angle rotations(See Subsection 5.2.16)Press the [DN] key once (or the [UP] key five times) to display "NA: N AUTO ADJUSTMENT".On this screen, it is possible to verify whether the automatic adjustment of phase angle rotationsis valid (ON) or invalid (OFF). Here, if it is necessary to alter the setting, press the [SET] key toswitch to the setup display of the automatic adjustment of phase angle rotations. Each time the[UP] or [DN] key is pressed, the set value is alternated between ON and OFF. Set the value toOFF and then press the [SET] key to confirm it. The screen will be returned to the immediatelypreceding one; make sure that the value is correctly reset.(4) Returning to the measuring mode Press the [ESC] key twice to return to the initial menu screen and return to the measuring modefrom the setting mode to resume the normal measurement.9.3.7 Actions after invalidating the automatic adjustment of phase angle rotationsAfter invalidating the automatic adjustment of phase angle rotations to make it possible to takemeasurements appropriately even at high density in excess of Xmax, implement the span calibration inaccordance with Section 6.5 and set the density multiplier to an appropriate value. While referring toTable 9.3.2, use this reset density multiplier to calculate the maximum density Xmax, which can beapplied to the function of automatic adjustment of phase angle rotations and judge whether this Xmax isgreater than the value of the upper density measurement range that is set.
 80 6 F 8 A 0 7 8 7If Xmax is greater than the upper density measurement range, the function of automatic adjustment ofphase angle rotations is applicable. Therefore, return the function of automatic adjustment of phaseangle rotations which is set to "OFF" in Subsection 9.3.6 to“ON”.If Xmax is smaller than the upper density measurement range, the function of automatic adjustment ofphase angle rotations is invalid. Therefore, it is unnecessary to return the function of automaticadjustment of phase angle rotations which is set to "OFF" in Subsection 9.3.6 to “ON”.9.3.8 Return to the normal through manual input of the phase angle rotationsIf the function of automatic adjustment of phase angle rotations is not applicable whereas the pipingsystem (where the density meter is installed) is temporarily made empty thus causing the number ofphase angle rotations to jump to a faulty number, the number of phase angle rotations fails to return toan appropriate value even when the piping system (where the density meter is installed) is refilled withthe matter to be measured, thus allowing the measured density to remain in error. In this connection, it isnecessary to reset the phase angle rotation to an appropriate value through manual input. The settingmethod is described below.(1) Switching to the setting mode (see Subsection 5.2.5)First of all, press the [ESC] key of the converter several times (normally once although this varieswith the operation status) to return to the initial menu display. Next, use the [→] key to move theLCD indicator cursor to the menu number "2" of "2  SETTING MENU" and then press the [SET]key to display the warning message saying "Test output will be valid." Make sure that there is noproblem and then press [→] to get into the setting mode. To get into [2: SETTING MENU], it isnecessary to further enter the password "8000". Then, the output will be switched to thesimulated output that is set beforehand.(2) Selecting the "ANGLE ROTATION" setting menu (see Subsection 5.2.5)In the state that the menu list of menu numbers 5 to 8 is displayed, use the [→] key to move theLCD indicator cursor to the menu number "8" of "8: ANGLE ROTATION" and then press the[SET] key to select the menu of "8: ANGLE ROTATION".(3) Verifying or changing the number of phase angle rotations (see Subsection 5.2.13)Press the [DN] key once (or the [UP] key twice) to display "N: ROTATION". On this screen, it ispossible to verify the number of phase angle rotations. Here, press the [SET] key to switch to thesetup display of the number of phase angle rotations and enter an appropriate value (note). At theinitial digit, use the [UP] or [DN] key to select whether to attach the "-" symbol or not. Use the[→] key to move to the digit, and use the [UP] or [DN] key to alter the numeric value of therelevant digit. When entering input is completed, press the [SET] key to confirm it. The screenwill be returned to the immediately preceding one; make sure that the value is correctly reset.Note: In many cases, an appropriate value for the number of phase angle rotations N is 0. In theevent that the density or the fluid temperature is high, this value may be 1. In the event thatthe density or the fluid temperature is low, it may be -1. Set either of 0, 1 and -1 and thenverify that the measured density at this time has returned to an appropriate value.(4) Returning to the measuring modePress the [ESC] key twice to return to the initial menu screen and return to the measuring modefrom the setting mode to resume the normal measurement.

Since this does not usually become areal problem, it does not need this function usually. When using this function,however, it is necessary to separately prepare a electric conductivity meter,install it on a proper location and input the electric conductivity signal into thedensity meter.See Section10.4.5)Additives correctionIn the event that the brand (with varying components and compound ratio) ofthe matter to be measured is switched from one to another, this function isused to omit the span calibration in terms of each brand by registeringbeforehand the list in which the sensitivity and compound ratio of therespective components are input (up to ten lists can be registered) and thenselecting the list number.See Section10.5.6)LinearizerSince the density meter has a satisfactory linear relationship between its actualdensity and instrument output, a linearization correction is normallyunnecessary. Therefore, this function is provided as a measure to deal withspecial cases.See Section10.6.7)Density multiplierswitching by externalsignalThis function is to switch around up to four density multipliers by means ofON/OFF of two external voltage signals(DI). The function can be used tofacilitate the density measurement of up to four different types of matters(brand)  which differ in measurement sensitivity.See Section10.7.

The function is used when an averaged output is required suchas for density control. This function is also useful for suppressing the deflection width of output.The value that can be set as the moving average times "n" is 1 to 99. Setting 1 for "n" means that nomoving average takes place.10.2.2 Setting of the moving average times(1) Switching to the setting mode (see Subsection 5.2.5)First of all, press the [ESC] key of the converter several times (normally once although this varieswith the operation status) to return to the initial menu display.

Bysetting two measurement conditions of permissible variation width and limit times, the conditions forchange-rate limit are set.It is possible to set 0.00 to 9.99(%TS) as the permissible variation width and 0 to 99 times as the limittimes. Setting the limit times to zero means that no change-rate limit is imposed.10.3.2 Examples of operating the change-rate limit functionThe change-rate limit function is described with examples below.<Setting conditions>The setting conditions shall be as follows.•Width of change-rate limit function: 0.5%TS•Times of change-rate limit function: TwiceThe conditions that are set as above mean the following.1) All the variations within 0.5%TS are permitted and output without modification.2) Variations exceeding 0.5%TS are limited up to twice, outputting the immediately precedingsignal in place of the relevant signals.3) Variations in excess of 0.5%TS which continue three times are judged to be signal variationsresulting from actual density variations, thus outputting the 3rd signal without modification.Example 1: Operation for temporary and sudden signal variation Fig.10.3.2  Output Signal After Variation FactorRestriction0.00.51.01.52.02.53.012345678910Signal No..Density signal (%TS)Fig.10.3.1  Original Signal0.00.51.01.52.02.53.01 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10Signal No..Density signal (%TS)

No.7 to No.10 are back to a small width of variation.In the event that the above-set change-rate limit is applied to such signals, the output signals are asshown in Fig.10.3.2. Since signals No.5 and No.6 are varying in excess of 0.5%TS with regard to signalNo.4, signal No.4 is output instead with regard to No.5 and No.6. Signal No.7 is output withoutmodification.

The numeric values alongthe horizontal axis refer to the signal numbers. No.1 to No.4 are varying within a small width; however,signal No.5 is varying in excess of 0.5%TS with No.6 to No.10 remaining in a state not very differentfrom No.5.In the event that the above-set change-rate limit is applied to such signals, the output signals are asshown in Fig.10.3.4. Since signals No.5 and No.6 are varying in excess of 0.5%TS with regard to signalNo.4, signal No.4 is output instead with regard to No.5 and No.6.Signals No.7 to No.10, which are within the variation width of 0.5%TS with regard to the respectiveimmediately preceding signals, are output without modification.10.3.3 Cautions in using the change-rate limit factor(1) Setting the change-rate limit widthThe value can be set within the range of 0.00%TS to 9.99%TS. If the width is set to as little avalue as the normally indicated deflection width, restricted signals will increase and indicationswill vary in the shape of steps. Therefore, set a sufficiently large value so that the variation widthis reliably judged to be in error.(2) Setting the times of change-rate limitSignals that are made faulty due to intrusion of large bubbles, etc. may affect two neighboringsignals in relation to measurement timing. Therefore, although the change-rate limit has an effecteven when it is applied only once, it is desirable to set the times of change-rate limit at least to twotimes in order to reliably exclude error signals.

In the event that the conductivity change is large and thus its impact is notignoble, make sure to use the electric conductivity correction function.

 90 6 F 8 A 0 7 8 710.5 Additives Correction Factor10.5.1 Additive Correction FunctionThis function refers to handling the different brand of the pulp which contains various additives. If thephysical property of the measured object fluid varies, it is necessary to set the density multiplier for avalue appropriate to this difference. Even with multiple types of measured objects mixed together(mixed fluid), if their compound ratio is regarded to be consistent, it is possible to measure the densityof the entirety or the density of a particular type among them. In measuring the density of such mixedfluid, each time the physical property and compound ratio of the objects included in the fluid differ (thatis, the brand is different), it is necessary to set the density multiplier in accordance with the brand of therelevant mixed fluid.By selecting an applicable brand number from about ten brands registered in advance, this additivecorrection function calculates the density in accordance with the brand, thus making it possible to omitthe span calibration in terms of each brand.Using this function in a simplified manner, by selecting the span calibration factor(density multiplier) interms of each brand from the brand list registered in advance, it is possible to simplify the spancalibration.

Next, use the [→] key to move theLCD indicator cursor to the menu number "2" of "2  SETTING MENU" and then press the [SET]key to display the warning message saying "Test output will be valid.". Make sure that there is noproblem and then press [→] to get into the setting mode. To get into [2: SETTING MENU], it isnecessary to further enter the password "8000". Then, the output will be switched to thesimulated output that is set beforehand.(2) Selecting the "OTHERS" setting menus (see Subsection 5.2.5)Initially, the menu list of menu numbers 5 to 8 is displayed. However, by pressing the [UP] key,this display is switched to the menu list of the next menu numbers 9 to 11. Use the [→] key tomove the LCD indicator cursor to the menu number "11" of "11: OTHERS" and then press the[SET] key to select the menu of "11: OTHERS."(3) Selecting of density multiplier switching ON/OFF(see Subsection 5.2.16)Press the [UP] key once to display "DI: C CHANGE ON/OFF". Press the [SET] key here toswitch to the setup display. Each time the [UP] or [DN] key is pressed, the set value alternatesbetween "ON" and "OFF". Therefore, when using the function of density multiplier switching byexternal signals, set the value to "ON" and then press the [SET] key to verify it. The screen will bereturned to the immediately preceding one; make sure that the value is correctly reset.(4) Setting density multipliers C2, C3 and C4Continuing on from (3), press the [UP] key once to switch to the display of "C2:DensityMultiplier". Switch to the setup display by pressing the [SET] key here and then input thedensity multiplier C2. Use the [→] key to move to the digit, and use the [UP] or [DN] key to alterthe numeric value of the relevant digit. When entering input is completed, press the [SET] key toconfirm it. The screen will be returned to the immediately preceding one; make sure that the valueis correctly reset. Continue on to switch to the next setup menu display with the [UP] key and setC3 and C4 in accordance with the same procedure. When setting the density multiplier C1, referto "6.5  Span Calibration".(5) Returning to the measuring modePress the [ESC] key twice to return to the initial menu screen and return to the measuring modefrom the setting mode to resume the normal measurement.
