1. Operation

After every wiring is completed, power on the converter. LCD screen first displays startup screen , then it transitions automatically "Home screen".
When single measurement is set to display on a screen, Home screen will be skipped and Main screen will show up. See chapter 2 to know screens.

Home Screen

Main Screen

or

Figure 1.1

Sample image of startup screens

NOTE
It takes more than ten seconds for the startup screen to switch to Home screen after FLXA402 is powered on.

When you use SENCOM SA and connect no SENCOM SA or incompatible sensors, an error appears to indicate inappropriate setting or measurement error. To review and modify initial setup, if you need. See chapter 4.
NOTE
For several seconds after power is on, 4 mA is output. This does not imply the device has fault.

NOTE
In the beginning of the measurement, you might see the measurement displayed "----". This happens because the sensor is preparing for the measurement and not because of fault. Wait until the sensor is ready.
While the measurement is displayed "----", mA output follows the order defined in mA output settings: mA output settings > mA > mA (Configure Hold) > Last or Fixed

NOTE
When there is no touch operation for 10 minutes, the screen automatically switches to Monitor screen

 Arithmetic by multiple sensors

 The arithmetic is carried out by processing the corresponding value of Sensor 1-1 and Sensor 2-1.  Set the same type of sensors to Sensor 1-1 and Sensor 2-1.  Besides sensor type, the following must be set identical between Sensor 1-1 and Sensor 2-1.
When pH sensors are used: Sensor type When SC/ISC sensors are used: Unit, Method When DO sensors are used: Unit  When the setting is inappropriate, an error occurs. While this function is being operated and an error occurs on Sensor 1-1 or Sensor 2-1, the output value is kept same as the previous one. Ratio, Passage, Rejection, Deviation, pH calb (VGB) are calculated only when the measuring object is conductivity. Differential CONDUCT, Differential RESIST, Average CONDUCT, Average RESIST are calculated when the measuring object is Conductivity-TC1 or Resistivity-TC1.

The table below shows the arithmetic equation for each parameter.

l Burn

When a failure happens, burn is output. Select one mA from "Off", "Law" or "High" to output the

failure. Read 4.7

Error settings for setting failures.

Off:

Output by the measured value.

Low:

Output is fixed to 2.2 mA

High: Output is fixed to 22.0 mA.

Burn happens only when failure is detected on the sensors you set on Process parameter slot. Sensors you did not set on Process parameter slot do not output burn even when their failure is detected.

Whenever the converter's failure is detected, it outputs burn value.

If a communication error inside of the converter is detected, the converter seeks the error location: first or second sensor module. Only when the analog sensor module you set detects an error, burn is output.

l Damping time
This is the time taken for a response to a step input change to reach 90% of the final value (attenuation time). Set this time in sec.

4.3.2 Simulate
When this function is selected, an output of the instrument will be a fixed current value set in % of the output span. The output span range is -11.25% to 112.5% (2.2 mA to 22.0 mA).
When "Simulate" is selected, regardless of hold setting, the output is always simulated value.
Host devices enables the converter to output simulated mA via MODBUS or HART communication without changing the actual configuration.
After you activate Simulate, the simulated output can remain even after the power is off. However, a simulated output via MODBUS or HART communication is deleted when the power turns off during the simulation.
mA output automatically leads to hold during device configuration. However, when Simulate is selected, each simulated value is output immediately according to respective configuration.
When mA output is simulated, Check Function occurs.

4.3.3 Configure Hold

On the Configure Hold, you can configure a preset value of mA output at Hold status.

There are two types, automatic or manual hold. Automatic hold holds mA value during the device configuration, calibration or wash.

During Setting devices, the status is always "hold", when you cannot set it to disable.

To disable hold during calibration or wash, set "Hold during calibration" to "Disabled."

Read 3.7

Hold operation (manual Hold)for further information on Hold.

l Types of value
Set mA output value for hold condition. Default is "Last", or a value measured just before hold condition.
Last holds a value measured just before hold condition Fixed holds a value set in" Fixed value mA"

4.4.2 Hold
When mA output is held, contact outputs are activated (S1/S2/S3: close). Assign "mA1" "mA2" "mA3" "mA4" on each hold contact output.

4.4.3 Wash

Contact output can control wash interval, while washing sensors being recognized as intervention period of the regular measuring. The Wash cycle goes as follows:

Wash time (Tw):

Sensors are being washed chemically or by machine.

Recovery time (Tr) Sensor system is being recovered.

After the recovery, the washing cycle ends to go back to the regular measuring mode.

When a contact output is set to Wash, if you use contact input, you need to set "Contact input Wash" at Contact input settings.

If a reference electrode fails to show "Input resistance too low", you can activate Wash with using contact input and resume a wash cycle.

n Imp.2 Wash sensors
Even after an error "Impedance2 too high" is detected, you can start Wash. Go to "Manual wash" and select "Disabled + Imp2 high" or "Enabled + Imp2 high." In this case, assign the sensor which has the error "Impedance2 too high" to Imp2. Wash.

n Contact input Wash
If contact input is set to start Wash, you can start remote wash. Read 4.2 Contact input.settings.

n Continuous wash
Some electrodes tend to be easily contaminated during process measurement. To ensure accurate reading, those electrodes might need continuous wash. However, Recovery time and Interval time disturb the implementation of continuous wash.
The continuous wash starts once you set it to "Enabled." First it runs in a measuring mode where interval time is present. Then it moves to a washing mode and stays for the rest of the Wash time.

Sensor wellness (only PH)
FLXA402 has a function for checking whether measurements are normally conducted after wash, with checking a sensor response.
The wash recovery check is performed by making use of the time to recover half the wash-cycle pH change. The half the wash-cycle pH change recovery time replaces the relaxation time with the recovery time.
Whether to conduct the wash recovery check can be set on the Error setting. Half the wash-cycle pH change refers to half the value (1/2pH) of the difference (pH) between the pH value during normal measurement of an example in Figure 4.6 and the pH value detected during wash.
If the pH value during wash is greater than 1/2pH when 1/3 tR has elapsed, the electrode is assumed to be good. If it is smaller than 1/2pH, then the electrode is assumed to be bad.
However, for applications where the pH during wash shows almost the same value as the normal pH, the difference will be approximately zero. In such a case, disable the wash recovery check.
An example of such applications is the monitoring of waste water pH. If you select water jet cleaning in such a case, the normal pH as well as the washing time pH will be around pH 7; the difference will be approximately zero, so the recovery time check will not work normally.
This function is also available for ORP only measurement.

4.4.4 Fail
A fail contact is energized when a fail is detected. When a fail is detected, the contact output is On (S1 / S2 / S3: closed, S4: open). Error is configured in 4.7 Error settings.

l Process parameter slot
Select sensors from "Sensor 1-1", "Sensor 1-2", "Sensor 1-3", "Sensor 1-4", "Sensor 2-1", "Sensor 2-2", "Sensor 2-3", "Sensor 2-4." Fail is output only by the sensors you select. Fail from FLXA402 is always valid.

NOTE
When an internal communication error occurs, a fail is output. However, the error location would not be identified whether it happened in the first or second sensor module.

l Setting
Select "Hard Fail only" or "Hard + Soft only". Hard Fail only: Contact output reacts only to Failure. Hard + Soft only: Contact reacts to alarms "Failure and Check Function", "Out of Specification",
or "Maintenance Required". To react to alarms, contact output flashes every 2 seconds, repeating excited and non-excited. When Failure happens, contact output stays On (S1/S2/S3: close, S4: open).
4.4.5 USP

For multiple sensor connection, every SENCOM SA must have unique MODBUS address (1 to 247) to each other. If a MODBUS address is overlapped between multiple SENCOM SAs, the connection goes fail.

NOTE
When you use other than SENCOM SA (e.g. analog sensor module, Optical DO Sensor), register "1" to sensor connection number. By default, "1" is assigned on Address CH1-1 (sensor connection number 1-1). If you assign address 1 to 247 to SENCOM SAs but SENCOM SA is not connected or the communication is not established correctly, the network goes fail and the alarm occurs.
Sensor Address setting (S) allows you to assign up to 8 types of sensor addresses on Address CH (sensor connection number) 1-1, 1-2, 1-3, 1-4, 2-1, 2-2, 2-3, 2-4 . (The number before hyphen represents 1st or 2nd sensor module
i.e.1-:1st sensor module, 2-: 2nd sensor module) For instance, when a SENCOM SA is connected to 1st sensor module, the SENCOM SA address should be assigned to Address CH (sensor connection number) 1-1, 1-2, 1-3 1-4.
NOTE
FLXA402 allows only one sensor to connect to the 2nd sensor module. If you assign SENCOM SA address to one of 2-1, 2-2, 2-3, 2-4, assign 248 to the other (not assigned) three Address CH. For HART, always use Address CH (sensor connection number) 2-1.

Example of MODBUS addressing
If you want to assign SENCOM SA - MODBUS address 8 to mA2,
first assign MODBUS address 8 to Address CH1-3. Next if you want to assign Sensor 1-3 to mA2, go to "Converter menu" > mA output > mA2 > Process parameter slot, and select.

FLXA402 as slave communicates with HOST devices, via MODBUS RS-485, Bluetooth, or Ethernet (Modbus TCP/IP). Select a network system according to the hardware architecture you use. For further technical information on MODBUS, read TI 12A01F01-62EN. First of all, before Bluetooth paring with devices, you need to create Bluetooth device name with up to 12 characters. The default is serial number of the device. On each device of the network, "FLXA402- [Bluetooth device name]" is diaplayed. [Bluetooth device name] is loaded on to the system display after the FLXA402 reboots.

CAUTION
Do not cancel error settings if the cancellation may cause hazards.

NOTE
The "Impedance 1 too high/too low" and "Impedance 2 too high/too low" alarms are displayed in the Error setting. In general, for a pH sensor, "Impedance 1" represents "glass electrode," and for an ORP sensor, it means "metal electrode." "Impedance 2" represents the reference electrode in all cases.
The "Impedance 1 too high/too low" and "Impedance 2 too high/ too low" errors apply to sensors with liquid earth. Sensors with liquid earth include PH8EFP, PH8ERP, PH8EHP, OR8ERG, OR8EFG.
For sensors not equipped with liquid earth, these alarms should all be set to Off. These sensors include HA405, HA406, DPA406, DPA405, DPAS405, HF405, HA485, DPA485.
For measuring a solution with low conductivity such as pure water pH measurement, set the "Impedance 2 too high" error to Off.

NOTE
When ORP is specified as a sensor type in "Sensor setup", and when an ORP sensor, such as OR8ERG or OR8EFG, doesn't have any temperature element, set both of "Temperature too high/low" in "Error settings" to Off so that no related error is caused. Due to the open input of temperature signal, a false error may happen as if temperature goes over a high limit or a low limit.
For details of errors, refer to MODBUS technical information TI 12A01F01-62EN.

When you set "Error settings" to "Off", the alarm does not come to display, but the converter detects errors inside. You can see the error history recorded in the logbook, by setting "Logbook setting" to "Error On".

NOTE
SENCOM SA keeps the log to record alarm message, event history such as calibration.
The converter shows the event log only that took place after the corresponding sensor was connected.
If you need to see logs, which was stored in SENCOM SA before the event took place, you should use FieldMate.

5.2 Search Modbus
When the connection gets lost if, for example, you remove the connection cable to conduct maintenance or calibration of the product on other premises but not yours, you can search Modbus Device Address to communicate with SENCOM SA connecting to FLXA 402.

NOTE
Each device on the Modbus network requires a unique Device Address/Slave ID, usually programmable for 1-247 devices. Therefore, each SENCOM SA must have different Device Address from each other. This allows devices on the network to know what data packets are relevant to them, and which are meant for other devices.
If Device Address/Slave ID 248 (invalid) is assigned, this function is disabled.

NOTE
For analog sensor module or Optical DO sensor, this function is not available.

l How to search Modbus
The next figure shows an example of Modbus search under the following condition.  Connect 3 SENCOM SAs of Modbus address 1, 3, 4  On the converter, address "1" is assigned to Address CH (sensor connection number)1-1, "4" to 1-2, "12" to 1-3, "248 (invalid)" to 1-3. (1) Select a sensor module. (in the sample, Sensor 1 is selected.) (2) Modbus search is displayed. You can configure the address to start the search. After the configuration and confirmation, tap "Start" to start the search Modbus. Ch number (a number after "-") of Address CH (sensor connection number) and Modbus address (1 to 247) are displayed.
<Example> Modbus address assigned to Target sensor 1-2 is displayed on Sensor1 Ch2. If the connection fails although the Modbus address is assigned valid (1 to 247), alert shows up next to Ch number. In the example, Modbus address 1, 4, are assigned to Target sensor 1-1, 1-2 respectively. This means the communication is established already. However, although Modbus address 12 is assigned to 1-3, shows up because SENCOM SA of Modbus address 12 cannot be found. To start the search from the address 1, tap "Start". (3) "Searching" and the address are displayed. If you tap "Cancel" while the address is still on search, the Modbus search stops and moves to the screen for selecting sensor module. (4) When Modbus address is found, a dialog box appears. If you keep on searching, tap "YES", then you will move to the screen for searching the Modbus address. Tap "Cancel" to stop the searching and move to the first screen for selecting sensor module. (5) After you complete searching all valid Modbus address (1 to 247), a dialog box appears to notify no more address is found.

5.3 Bluetooth pairing
FLXA402 use Bluetooth communication with host PC devices for the maintenance.
At first, Starting Bluetooth needs to pair Bluetooth with host devices you want to use and verify the communication.
If the number of paired devices exceeds the maximum number of 10, the paired devices are to be deleted in their chronological order.

l How to pair Bluetooth with host devices
1. Prepare host devices you want to communicate with FLXA402.
On FLXA402, go to Bluetooth pairing, and tap [Next].
(Read user's manual of the host devices to know how to start the Bluetooth pairing on the device side, if you need.)
2. On FLXA402 screen, "Searching" starts flashing.
Turn Bluetooth on the host device.
Find FLXA402 Bluetooth name on host device. You can Also, see the name of FLXA402 Bluetooth on Converter menu > Detail (3.1). If you need, change the setting on Modbus setting (4.6.1)
3. Once the host device finds FLXA402 Bluetooth, automatically FLXA402 goes to the last page of Bluetooth pairing screen.
On the screen, you find "Pass key." Confirm "Pass key" is same as the one the host device displays. After the pass key is confirmed, tap "Pairing".
If you don't see "Pairing" key for 60 seconds, or if you tap "Cancel" instead, you will return to "Others".
If you want to exit the Bluetooth pairing, press "<" or "Home".
