PCS.smart+ AMS
5.3 Optional heated line
Both a self-regulating as well as a non-self regulating line can
be connected to units with the "heated line" option. With non-
self regulating lines the temperature is regulated by the built-
in regulator on the PCS.smart+ AMS.
The built-in regulator can be (de)activated via the menu. The
regulator is factory deactivated.
With the built-in regulator activated the Pt100 for the heated
line will be monitored. If a sensor error occurs or no line is
connected, the display will show an error message.
Without a heated line requiring regulation connected, deac-
tivate the built-in regulator via the menu and the error mes-
sage will automatically be cleared.
The message MAdd in the display indicates if a heated line
with Pt100 is connected and the regulator is deactivated. The
regulator must be reactivated in the menu.
So long as the heated line is heating up, the display will show
the status init. This condition will persist for a few minutes
after the target temperature has been reached until the heat
has spread evenly throughout the heated line.
On the Smartline the heat-up period varies by ambient tem-
perature and initial temperature. At an ambient temperature
of 25 °C the heat-up phase should not be much more than 30
minutes.
During the heat-up phase the status contact will be in alarm
position.
