Condensate Recovery Meter

CRM 485R
OVERVIEW
The Condensate Recovery Meter CRM 485R is a device that works along with the Pressure Powered Pump from Forbes Marshall, to
determine the total condensate pumped and thereby recovered and savings achieved over a period of time.The CRM 485R takes
inputs from the sensor probe mounted on the pump. Based on these inputs and user configurable data such as fuel type and fuel cost
the CRM 485R computes the energy and fiscal savings for the user. It has a Modbus communication port over which all important
parameter values are transmitted to a host computer. The user interface includes a keypad with three tactile keys and a backlit LCD
display. The CRM 485R is mains power operated and has a wall mountable enclosure.

FEATURES
 Compact design

 Ease of installation using installation template

 Separate terminations compartment

 Retains data in case of power failure

 Supports Modbus communication

 Configurable Fuel Rate

Fuel Rate Description

<currency> / kg This is the rate in terms of the (selected currency per kg of

fuel) for fuels like Indian Coal that are sold by weight
<currency> / lit This is the rate in terms of the (sele cted currency per lit of
fuel) for fuels like LDO that are sold by volume

 Configurable Cable Length

Sensor Cable Length Description

5mtr Standard length (default)

5 – 9mtr Set the actual length

 Other configurable parameters

Parameter Min Max Units
Fuel Rate 0.01 599.99 Currency units

Modbus Slave ID 1 247 Number

Temperature Alarm setpoint 30 200 °C
Average Condensate Temperature 70 130 °C
Preset Totalised Flow 0 999999999 kg
 Configurable Pump Stroke Time Alarm
This is the maximum time interval that is expected to elapse between 2 successive pump strokes during normal operation of the pump
and the process. If this is exceeded the ALARM LED begins to blink until the next stroke occurs.
 Configurable High Temperature Alarm
The CRM 485R is supposed to measure condensate temperature of between 30 and 200 °C. The alarm limit can be set to a value
within this range. If this is exceeded the ALARM LED begins to blink until the temperature falls below the set limit.
 Configurable Device ID (Modbus)
In case one or multiple units of CRM 485R have been installed in your plant and have been connected to a host computer over
Modbus, you need to assign a unique device ID to each.
 Configurable Display Scrolling Mode
The RUN mode has multiple screens to display various parameters and messages if any. If set to Manual Mode you can switch
between successive screens using the DOWN key. In the Auto Mode, the display will automatically switch between
successive screens at a preset time interval of about 8 secs.
 Configurable Average Condensate Temperature
The CRM 485R computes the savings based on the actual condensate temperature measured. In case of a sensor fault, the savings
computations are done considering the value of Configurable Average Condensate Temperature set. This value can be set by the FM
Service Engineer.
 Preset Totalised Flow (In Service mode only)
The FM Service Engineer can preset the Totalised Flow to a certain value as desired by the user. The maximum value settable is
999999999.

Communication: with host computer via Modbus over RS485R
