SAFETY NOTES AND RECOMMENDATIONS PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. Read these instructions and this users guide carefully.. All electrical supplies to the equipment must be externally fused with an appropriately rated fuse for safety.. Always unplug the equipment from the supply before carrying out any servicing. 4. The air supply must be turned off before carrying out any work on the pneumatic system. The air supply must not exceed that specified on the instrument or in the Test Certificate. 5. If in doubt about any aspect of safety with the equipment then contact Furness Controls BEFORE proceeding. Model Users Guide Issue 8 Page 4
INTRODUCTION This guide should be read in conjunction with the 00 Series Supplement General Description The FCO is a fully configurable, industrial differential pressure transmitter. The pressure cell is based on the unique Furness Controls capacitive sensor of proven reliability. A microprocessor is used to control all functions of stability, such as temperature correction and linearity. The output can be scaled as a linear or square root function to facilitate the use of Pitot Static Tubes or other primary flow elements. The FCO is suitable for industrial applications of control, measurement and monitoring. Features include: Optional large character liquid crystal 4½ digit display Linear or square root output 0: range adjustment using Model 0 interface Optional Configurations: -Wire 4 to 0mA Current output -Wire Voltage output 0 to 0.5V, 0 to V, 0 to V, 0 to 5V, 0 to 0V, 0. to 0.5V, 0. to V, 0.4 to V, to 5V, to 0V 4-Wire Voltage output 0 to 0.5V, 0 to V, 0 to V, 0 to 5V, 0 to 0V, ±0.5V, ±V, ±V, ±5V, ±0V 4-Wire Isolated 4 to 0mA Current output 4-Wire Isolated Voltage output 0 to V, 0 to V, 0 to 5V, 0 to 0V, ±0.5V, ±V, ±V, ±5V, ±0V Remote Zeroing Function Zero the FCO with an externally fitted button, or suitable electronic circuitry. Available to instruments with the necessary hardware option fitted. Auto Zeroing Function Adjustable delay between 0 and 4.0 Hours with 0. hour resolution. Available to instruments with the necessary hardware option fitted. Typical applications include: Combustion pressure measurement and control of industrial furnaces Air pressure measurement and control of dryers, kilns and ovens Air flow measurement in conjunction with pitot static tubes, orifice plates or venturi Enclosure The instrument is housed in an IP54 rated ABS enclosure. Pneumatic connections (fitted as standard) are for 4mm i/d push on tubing. Optional pneumatic connections are: /8 BSPP(f) threaded adaptor, and /4"BSPP(f) threaded adaptor Page 5 Model Users Guide Issue 8
INSTALLATION Mounting The recommended mounting position of the FCO is with the pressure entry ports facing directly downwards. This helps prevent the ingress of dust and liquid. Due to the sensitivity of lower range instruments, they should not be mounted in areas where they will be subjected to high vibration as this could cause spurious readings. The enclosure has four mounting holes for M4 screws, which are accessible with the cover removed. Pneumatic All pipework should slope downwards from the instrument to make it self draining. When using the instrument to measure pressure at a single point with long pipe runs the reference port should be piped in parallel, with the pipe left open at the process end. Model Users Guide Issue 8 Page 6
Electrical Connectors Cable entry is via a right-angled Type C DIN connector with M6 cable gland mounted on the bottom of the instrument. Where optional features are added to the standard FCO (i.e. relay o/p, auto zero, or remote zero) the same right-angled Type C DIN connector is used to provide power and/or to gain access to the various functions provided by that option. A two to four core cable, up to 6.0mmO.D., can be used with the standard socket. The terminals provided with the socket are of the screw type. The socket must first be dismantled, by removing the securing screw and pushing the centre terminal block from the housing. The cable is passed though the gland and housing. Conductors are terminated as detailed below. Each conductor should be stripped free of insulation for a length of -5mm.

Auxiliary Connection The connector fitted to the top left of the case has terminals for powering the internal circuitry for the relay outputs & auto zero functions, and must be connected to an external 4Vdc power source. The same connector is also used to connect to an external (remote) switch or suitable electronic circuitry for zeroing the transmitter.

Relay Connections (Option) The FCO can optionally incorporate a pair of relays for triggering auxiliary equipment such as alarms. Two connectors for the relays are located on the top right of the case. The middle connector is for the relay contacts. The right-hand connector is for the relay contacts. The relays do not feature any contact suppression. Relay Relay Relay Connectors PIN Relay NO NO NC NC Relay unused unused COM COM Relay states are shown for the instrument switched off.

COMMISSIONING Make the electrical and pneumatic connections as recommended. Turn on the power supply. Configuration settings (such as range, display settings, etc.) may be changed using the FCO0 utility cable, refer to the 00 series supplement for further details. Check that either the auxiliary current sensing or voltage-measuring device that is being used is registering. If not, check the supply voltage is within specified limits and inspect for poor connections. After fixing the instrument in position, allow at least one hour before commencing the final commissioning. After commissioning, allow the instrument to reach ambient temperature for at least 0 minutes. With no pressure applied, check the output is correct for zero input. If not:- press the zero button (indicated below) activate the remote zero (if fitted) or enable the auto zero function (if fitted), the delay time may have to be temporarily set to 0.hour (refer to the 00 series supplement for further details). Zero Button NOTE: if the auto zero valve is fitted, pressing either the zero button or the remote zero will force an auto zero cycle. In the unlikely event an error message is displayed, refer to the 00 series supplement for further details. The instrument is now ready for operation. Page Model Users Guide Issue 8
CALIBRATION Furness Controls recommend that all pressure transmitters and flow devices are recalibrated annually. For critical applications, it is advisable to check the calibration more frequently. All calibration of the FCO is performed through a PC using the FCO0 interface unit and software. Refer to the 00 Series Supplement for further information regarding the recalibration of the FCO. Contact our Furness Controls UKAS accredited calibration laboratories for further information. Model Users Guide Issue 8 Page
