6 Set up with the display and adjustment module
MINITRAC 31 • 4 … 20 mA/HART - four-wire
40447-EN-130430
Empty the vessel until the sensor is uncovered.
For this enter the requested pulse rate manually or let the rate be
determined by MINITRAC 31. Automatic determination of the pulse
rate should be given preference.
The pulse rate is entered in ct/s. This is the number of counts per
second, i.e. the measured gamma radiation reaching the sensor.
Prerequisites:
•
The radiation is switched on - source container is set to "On"
•
There is no medium between source container and sensor
You can enter the value for "Adjustment uncovered" (ct/s) manually.
You can have the value for "Adjustment uncovered" determined by
MINITRAC 31.
This menu item appears only if you have selected "Single point
adjustment" as adjustment mode (Setup/Adjustment mode).
In this menu item you can adjust at which percentage value of the
max. pulse rate the sensor should switch over.
Since in most cases the radiation is almost completely absorbed
when the sensor is covered, the pulse rate when the sensor is cov-
ered is very low.

Hence a percentage value of 90 % for the Delta I value is recom-
mended.
You select lower values for the sensitive detection of material cones
or buildup which only cause a partial absorption of the radiation.
This menu item appears only if you have selected under adjustment
mode (setup/adjustment mode) the "Double point adjustment".
In this menu item you can set the min. pulse rate (ct/s) at which the
sensor should switch over.
Fill the vessel until the MINITRAC 31 is covered.
