Schneider Electric Heat Meter Multical 602 - Pulse output card

Issue Selection and installation of a pulsed output module. Product Line Andover Continuum, EcoStruxure Building Operation, Field Devices, Satchwell Sigma, TAC Vista Environment Heat Meter Multical 602 Pulsed output module No pulses Cause Installed card does not give output pulses. Resolution Selection of the output card. The Schneider Electric part number is MAPULSETOPC and this is the equivalent to Kamstrup part number 602-0C This card will provide 2 pulse outputs for energy and volume, CE and CV respectively. Normally, energy (CE) is connected to 16-17 and volume (CV) to 18-19, but other combinations can be selected via the PC program METERTOOL, also used to select pulse duration 32 or 100 ms. The MAPULSETOPC is actually a top module, which means that it is fitted into the top piece of the MC602 calculator, basically the inside LCD cover. This is released by pressing downwards in the middle of the plastic piece on the left, and at the same time pushing the top module towards the left.

Voltage spike from SLR320 when first powered

Issue When an SLR320 light level sensor has power applied a transient voltage (approx. 17VDC) is seen on the output. Environment SLR320 Cause In order to provide dual output capability (voltage and current) with both AC and DC supply, it is necessary to use a capacitor to filter the AC supply. This capacitor is also active in current mode because it is placed behind the rectifier at the G clamp. An additional resistance is added inside to minimize this load current. This load current of the capacitor (which is the cause of transient voltage) cannot be reduced to zero, otherwise the voltage output cannot be used at AC supply within its specification (max. output voltage @ min. load resistance @ min. supply voltage, Y clamp). Resolution This behavior is expected and by design. The transient voltage generated by the load current is settled within approximately 40ms and occurs only at power up. The transmitter is continuously powered so this would not normally be an issue and would have stabilized before a controller that was powered up at the same time would be booted and scanning it's inputs.

Resolution Replace Satchwell ALMS Actuator with S-E M700 Actuator. The S-E M700 Actuator may be used to replace an existing Satchwell ALMS Actuator. It should be noted however that the S-E M700 Actuator is suitable for use with 24 volt power supplies only, while the Satchwell ALMS Actuator is a mains voltage device. The S-E M700 Actuator has an average power consumption of 30 VA and the use of an independent 230 / 24 volt Transformer rated 50 VA is recommended.  S-E Transformer Type TR60 (341-3060-000)   Replacement of Satchwell ALXS Actuator with S-E M700 Actuator. The S-E M700 Actuator may be used to replace an existing Satchwell ALXS Actuator. It should be noted however that where an existing Satchwell ALXS Actuator has been connected to a Satchwell Climatronic Controller via an independent Transformer, it is probable that the Transformer will have been rated to provide the level of power required by a single ALXS Actuator (23VA) In such circumstances the existing independent Transformer may also require replacement by another independent Transformer, rated to provide the greater level of power required by a single S-E M700 Actuator (50VA) S-E Transformer Type TR60 (341-3060-000)   Replacement of Satchwell ALES Actuator with S-E M700 Actuator. The S-E M700 Actuator may be used to replace an existing Satchwell ALES Actuator. It should be noted however that where an existing Satchwell ALES Actuator has been connected to a Satchwell Climatronic Controller via an independent Transformer, it is probable that the Transformer will have been rated to provide the level of power required by a single ALES Actuator (26VA) In such circumstances the existing independent Transformer may also require replacement by another independent Transformer, rated to provide the greater level of power required by a single S-E M700 Actuator (50VA) S-E Transformer Type TR60 (341-3060-000)   Please check the latest catalog for current equipment.

SVT Controller will not operate plant under Auto control following Clock replacement due to lack of re-commissioning.

Issue SVT Controller will not operate plant under Auto control following Clock replacement Environment SVT 4201 Optimiser Controller  SVT 4251 Optimiser Controller  Cause SVT Controller will not operate plant under Auto control following Clock replacement due to lack of re-commissioning. Resolution Re-commission SVT Controller using Test method. The absence of plant control may normally be confirmed by lack of illumination of Burner L E D (bottom left corner of SVT)  Test method of re-commissioning may be undertaken as follows: Ensure SVT 4201 Analogue Clock override button is set to AUTO condition and Clock is in an ON period. Ensure SVT 4251 Digital Clock status is set to AUTO condition and Clock is in an ON period. Ensure SVT Manual Override Switch (lower left of SVT) is set to AUTO Note SVT Preheat Selector Switch (lower centre of SVT) setting (scaled 1,2,3,4,5,T) Turn Preheat Selector Switch fully clockwise from Preheat number setting to letter T Turn Manual Override Switch fully anti-clockwise from AUTO setting to O (Off)  Turn Manual Override Switch fully clockwise from O (Off) setting to + (ON) Burner L E D should illuminate and plant should start. Turn Manual Override Switch anti-clockwise from + (ON) setting to AUTO Burner L E D should remain illuminated and plant should continue to run. If plant continues to run then proceed to action L.  If plant remains OFF then return to action A. Turn Preheat Selector Switch anti-clockwise from T position to previously noted SVT Preheat Selector Switch setting.
