The MCAi is less sensitive to fillers than to fibers. In
practice the sensor measured slightly over a half of a
change in filler content. Table 9.3 illustrates the sen-
sor’s sensitivity to different fillers relative to its sensi-
tivity to fibers.

Example: at 3% process consistency the filler con-
tent (100% kaolin) changes by 10 % points, which
corresponds to 0.3% Cs. The MCAi sees this as a (0.61
x 0.3 %) = 0.18 % change, and thus the error will be
0.12%.
The filler content information can be connected to
the isolated analog input Ain1 (on Field Connection
Board) as either a current or voltage signal. If a current
signal will be used, it must be converted into a voltage
by connecting a resistor across the positive and negative
poles of analog input Ain1. The voltage is then derived
from the formula:
U = R x I
where R = resistance and I = current signal value.
Scale the voltage into a filler content value as follows:
1. Go from M
AIN MENU => SELFDIAGNOSTICS => SPE-
CIAL FUNCTIONS => FILLER CONTENTS: ANALOG INPUT
(Fig. 9.13).
2. Press [F1&F2] E
DIT and then type the voltage signal
value and the corresponding filler content for the
low and high limits. You can also increase the
filtering if necessary.
3. Press [F3&F4] S
AVE. The MCAi will prompt:
“Change scaling of the filler contents?” Press Y
ES
and the MCAi will correct the measured consistency
according to the entered filler content.
Filler content correction can be deactivated and
activated by pressing [F7&F8] T
URN OFF and [F7&F8]
