5. EHOW Operation of Steam Trap Monitor In applications on Saturated Steam the otherwise unused Compensation Input may be connected to a steam trap monitor that offers the following compatible output signal levels 4mA trap cold 12 mA trap warm and open blowing 20 mA trap warm and closed In normal operation a steam trap is warm and periodically opens and closes in response to the accumulation of condensate A cold trap is indication that it is not purging the condensate a trap that is constantly blowing is an indication that it is stuck open To avoid a false alarm the SL9200 permits the user to program a delay or time period which should be considered normal for the trap to be either cold or open An alarm will only be activated if the trap is detected as continuously being in the abnormal states for a time period greater than this TRAP ERROR DELAY time The user selects to use the Compensation Input for Trap Monitoring by selecting 4 20mA TRAP STATUS as the INPUT SIGNAL for OTHER INPUT1 The user can program the ERROR DELAY time in HH MM format into both the TRAP ERROR DELAY cold trap error menu and the TRAP BLOWING DELAY trap stuck open menu The SL9200 will warn the operator of a TRAP ERROR when an abnormal condition is detected The error can be acknowledged by pressing the ENTER key However the problem may reassert itself if there is a continued problem with the steam trap In addition the event is no
