2.3.1 Viscositysensor
For operation information on your viscosity sensorrefer to the Technical Information Bulletin (TIB) supplied
with the sensor.For ViscoSenseowith interface box refer to TIB 742 and for Viscotherm Sensor/Electronic
TransmitterAssembly, refer to TIB 739. TheseManuals also include a functional descriptionof viscosity
control systemswith ViscoSenseoor Viscotherm@.
2.3.2 Viscositvcontroller
The viscosity controller is a microprocessor-basedinstrumentwith proportional and integratingcontrol action.
It is available in four types to match the specific requirementsfor different viscosity control systems.
2.3.4 Analosueviscositvindicator
The viscosity controller displays the actual dynamic viscosity in mPa.s.The analogviscosity indicator can be
usedto obtain a read-outofthe kinematic viscosity in cSt, degreesEngler or Sec.Redwoodl. The kinematic
viscosity is calculatedwith a specific gravity of 0.99 at 15"C.
The input signal for the indicator is the 4 .. 20 mA signal from the viscosity sensorelectronics.
The indicator can also be supplied with free adjustablealarm contacts.
For further information refer to the instructionssuppliedwith the instrument.
2.3.5 Viscosityrecorder
For registrationofthe viscosity and optionally also the temperatureofthe fuel oil, a recordercan be installed.
The input ofthe recorder is the 4 .. 20 mA signal from the viscosity sensorelectronics.
The recordercan also be supplied with free adjustablealarm contacts.
For further information refer to th€ instructionssupplied with the instrument.

If analarmoccursit is indicated
asfollows:
ControllerAlarms
a a
JJ
Ifa relay has been attachedto the alarm output, it will de-energisewhen the alarm condition occurs and
remain in this condition until the alarm is acknowledgedAND it is no longer present.
If the alarm condition disappearsbefore it is acknowledgedthe alarm indication disappearsas soon as the
conditiondisappears.
6.7 CONTROLLEROPTIMIZATION
6.7.1 Manualopttimazatian
An optimum adaptationofthe control parameters(P,l) is necessaryin order to balancean appearingdeviation
as quickly,non-oscillatingand exactlyas possible,accordingto the give operationconditions.
Generally theseadjustmentsrequire a lot of professionalknowledge that cannot be replacementby this brief
information. The following information is for help purposeonly:
I = integralactiontime Ti (min):
Lower value: shorter impulse gaps,faster balancing
Highervalue: longerimpulsegaps,slowerbalancing
Examples: the set value is reachedvery slowly without overshooting:Tn too high;
high initial overshotfollowed by fading oscillation: Tn too low.
