Analog
(Density)
(see Density
Setup Guide
below)
Analog is the new App Type which allows customers to
measure variation in the amount of Microwave energy
blocked and absorbed by on application.
The variance is represented by a 4-20mA analog output.
Note: Relay1 as a switch function is disabled while the
Density application is selected.
HiSpan%
This is the 20mA reference point.
This can be Viewed, Autoset or set to a
Custom value.
This value will always be a 10-100%
with 10% the most sensitive 100%
suited to measure the indicate the
widest variation.
Switch
Sets the unit to a standard switch mode with adjustable
sensitivity
Sensitivity%
A high value will make the unit more
sensitive to switching and responding to
lighter materials.
A low value will make the unit more
resilient and ignore dust / build up.
Boom
Protection
Sets the unit to Boom Protection mode.
This can also be used for machinery / truck or object
detection & collision avoidance.
Blocked
Chute
Sets the unit for blocked chute mode.
Note: This mode may be unsuitable for very low dielectric
materials.
Alignment
A mode to assist aligning units over long range. Select
this mode and perform a Cal Mount. RUN the unit and
it will indicate half signal / approximately 48 Switch% on
the display. Improving the alignment will reduce the %
with the goal to reduce as low possible. Re Cal-Mount
if the % reaches 0 and continue to adjust the alignment
until it cannot be improved further.
After using this mode you must set the unit back to a
normal app type as function is purely for alignment.
Analog (Density) Setup Guide
1. Select ‘Analog' (Density) App Type
2. To set the 4mA condition reference - Perform a Cal
Mount. HAWK recommends this should be done with
Clear Path between Sender and Receiver.
3. Press RUN several times to restart the unit.
This will be the 4mA reference point for the analogue
Note: You must RUN the unit before proceeding with
the next step
To set the 20mA reference point you can either:
4. Enter a specific ‘HighSpan%’ (10-100%) or;
5. Start the process you wish to measure. When the
desired density of product is between the Sender
& Receiver you can enter the Quickset menu and run
‘Autoset’. This sets the measured condition between
Sender and Receiver to the 20mA / 100% reference.
If Autoset returns ‘Failed’ you either did not press
RUN after the Cal Mount to set the 4mA point or the
Microwave pulses are not blocked by a high enough
density which the unit can detect.
