1. This menu item appears only if you have selected Single point adjustment as adjustment mode Setup Adjustment mode In this menu item you can adjust at which percentage value of the max pulse rate the sensor should switch over Since in most cases the radiation is almost completely absorbed when the sensor is covered the pulse rate when the sensor is cov ered is very low The change between the two statuses is sufficiently clear Hence a percentage value of 90 for the Delta value is recom mended You select lower values for sensitive detection of material cones or buildup which cause only partial absorption of the radiation POINTRAC 31 Foundation Fieldbus 25 6 Set up with the display and adjustment module VELA Adjustment covered two point adjustment Adjustment uncovered two point adjustment Delta I x 1 00 100 00 EE This menu item appears only if you have selected under adjustment mode setup adjustment mode the Two point adjustment In this menu item you can set the min pulse rate ct s at which the sensor should switch over Fill the vessel until the POINTRAC 31 is covered You thus get the min pulse rate ct s for the covered adjustment Enter the requested pulse rate manually or let the rate be determined by POINTRAC 31 Automatic determination of the pulse rate should be given preference Adjustnent covered Adjustnent covered 0 ct s 0 Get count Act co2. mom 8 OOOOO0O00 il Keri cL l vL SL 9L ZL 8L Lg Ta J Fig 8 Electronics and connection compartment with non Ex instruments and instruments with non intrinsically safe current output 1 Voltage supply 2 Relay output 3 Signal output FF bus 4 Signal input 4 20 mA active sensor 5 Switching input for NPN transistor 6 Switching input floating 7 Transistor output 8 Interface for sensor sensor communication MGC 9 Simulation switch 1 simulation on 10 Setting the bus address for sensor sensor communication MGC Fig 9 Adjustment and connection compartment with non Ex instruments and instruments with non intrinsically safe current output 1 Terminals for the external display and adjustment unit 2 Contact pins for the display and adjustment module or interface adapter Instruments with intrinsically safe current output You can find detailed information on the explosion protected versions Ex ia Ex d in the Ex specific safety instructions These safety MGC Multi Gauge Communication POINTRAC 31 Foundation Fieldbus 19 5 Connecting to power supply VEGA Electronics and connec tion compartment In struments with intrinsi cally safe current output Adjustment and connec tion compartment In struments with intrinsi cally safe current output instructions are part of the scope of del

5. Additional adjustments Info Start with the setup of POINTRAC 31 In the main menu point Setup the individual submenu points should be selected one after the other and provided with the correct parameters to ensure optimum adjustment of the measurement The procedure is described in the following Stick with the normal sequence of the menu items as closely as pos sible Setup In this menu item you can adjust the POINTRAC 31 to the integrated isotope in the source container For this purpose check which isotope is integrated in the source container You can find this information on the type label of the source container Isotope Cs 137 Through this selection the sensitivity of the sensor is adapted perfectly to the isotope The normal reduction of the emitter activity is hence considered through the radioactive decay The POINTRAC 31 requires this information of the automatic decay compensation This ensures an interference free measurement over the complete life time of the gamma emitter an annual recalibration is not necessary POINTRAC 31 Foundation Fieldbus 23 6 Set up with the display and adjustment module VELA Setup Application Setup Background radiation Setup Unit Setup Adjustment mode Enter the requested parameters via the appropriate keys save your settings with OK and jump to the next menu item with the ESC and the gt key Enter here the respective a
