The list below is an overview of the steps required and their order to successfully commission a Acoem single pass Opacity monitor.
- Perform head alignment – this optimizes the mounting angle of the RX and TX heads to achieve the largest possible measured signal.
- Perform an Automatic Gain Correction – This adjusts the gain applied to the measurement signal to achieve an amplified signal that is within the required voltage range.
- Perform a Zero Adjust – adjust the zero to 0.0% Opacity under clear path conditions (IE the process must not be running). This adjusts the instruments span setting to define 0.0% opacity.
- Configure the outputs – Once the instrument is calibrated the current output and level alarm can be configured as required for integration with the wider plant systems.
Acoem monitors have a range of design features and optional accessories to help with this process, including
- A laser alignment tool to simplify physical head alignment
- Easy to use utility software with signal strength indicators (included with all monitors as standard).
- Compression gaskets, in conjunction with mounting nuts, to fine tune alignment
- Calibration heads and opacity filters.
Our monitors are supplied with comprehensive installation and operator manuals which provide a high level of detail along with clear illustrations. All our customers are welcome to contact us directly, video conference training sessions can be arranged when remote support is required.
