2.5. Starting up and servicing the transmitter
Before starting or servicing the transmitter, study
carefully the instructions in chapters 1 and 3. Do not
remove any covers before ensuring that the transmitter
motor is switched off. When the safety covers on the
motor drive belt wheel or on the measuring parts are
removed, there is a risk of injury by crushing or cutting.

NOTE: Take all professional precautions before servicing.

NOTE: Moving the covers may cause the injury of

crushing or cutting.

NOTE: Hot or corrosive liquids may flow out from the

process pipe under pressure – risk of serious chemical
burn injuries!

Before removing the transmitter from the process

line, make sure that the line is empty and depressur-
ized.
Be careful when opening the TCU cover. The unit
contains live parts that may cause electric shocks. If
the connections have been made correctly, the live
parts are protected against normal contact.
Transmitters in corrosive applications should be re-
moved regularly from the process line and their seals
and other critical parts inspected carefully. If corrosion
damage is observed on the transmitter or its mounting
parts, ensure that correct material has been selected
for the application.

NOTE: Leakage may cause personal injury or equipment

damage due to corrosion or burning!

representative for further information.
• Always use only good quality sealing water as the
flushing water for the mechanical seal. Make sure
that the flushing/sealing water pressure is maintained
at all times. See Fig. 14.
• The main power voltage & frequency must be within
acceptable limits and be protected against transient
disturbance sources, such as other equipment or
electrical storms.
• Make sure that signal cables are located far away
from the power cables.
• If the transmitter must be installed high up or in a
place where it will be difficult to reach, a platform
should be constructed to provide easy access during
service and inspection. A platform is also a good
solution for positioning the sampling valve.
• Install a Nove sampling valve close to the transmit-
ter. This will ensure that the reference samples will
be representative of the sample measured by the
consistency transmitter.
• Reserve enough space for the transmitter casing;
see chapter 1.6. Also pay attention to the limits given
in Technical specifications.

3.9. Selecting the installation location
Choosing the right place for the transmitter is essential Pay attention to the following considerations:
for its optimum performance and ease of maintenance. 1. To ensure minimum time lag, install the transmitter
The transmitter can be installed in a vertical, horizontal as close as possible to the dilution water injection
or inclined pipe. When installing in a horizontal or in- point.

in selecting the location that will give the best results transmitter is positioned downstream from a pump
consistent with your specific control strategy. or a pipe elbow, the optimum place is at the theor-
etical outer turn of the pulp stream. If the optimum
position cannot be chosen, for example due to
space limitations, consult a Valmet sales engineer.
4. If the transmitter will be installed so high up that it
will be difficult to reach, build a platform for easier
access during service and inspection.
5. Choose a location with sufficient room around the
transmitter for insertion and removal and for
opening the covers. Also make sure that the
transmitter can be inserted and removed without
problems. See chapter 1.6 and the Technical
specification for the dimensions of the different
transmitter models.
6. Install the transmitter so that it is protected from
direct mechanical damage. If the place is such that
it is likely to be frequently sprayed by water or pulp,
protect it with a suitable enclosure.
7. Protect the transmitter from heavy vibration such
as cavitation or unbalanced pumps. One possible
method is to install rubber bellows to the line.

Valmet Rotary Installation & operating manual, K09157 V1.3 EN

21
3.10. Transmitter position on process pipe
The process coupling can be used at pipe diameter
200 mm or larger. For smaller pipes use a measuring
chamber. Install the transmitter at the outer turn (Fig.
4, position A), after a pipe bend or pump outlet. Side
position, B, could also be ok, but avoid position C.

Calming distance
To ensure a good measurement conditions a certain
calming distance is required. The calculation for differ-
ent consistency levels and pipe positions:
• At Cs < 8 % and vertical pipe run:
V1 = 3 * pipe diameter or min. 1 m, V2 = V1 * 0.5.
• At Cs < 8 % and horizontal pipe run:
H1 = 4.5 * pipe diameter, H2 = H1 * 0.5.
• At Cs > 8 % and vertical pipe run:
V1 = 1.5 * pipe diameter or min. 0.5 m, V2 = V1.
• At Cs > 8 % and horizontal pipe run:
H1 = 2.25 * pipe diameter or min. 0.75 m,
V2 = 1.5 * pipe diameter or min. 0.5 m.

In case of installation in an inclined pipe position use

the calming distance given for horizontal pipes. All
lengths are calculated in the table in Fig. 5.

mitter should always be installed as close as possible in Fig. 6. Check the free space requirements; see
to the water injection point. chapter 1.6.
If the pipe diameter is < 200 mm (8"), the transmitter
should be connected to the pulp line with a mounting
chamber. See Fig. 6. If the pipe diameter is ≥ 200 mm
(8"), the transmitter should be connected to the pulp
line with a process coupling. See Technical specifica-
tions.

Fig. 6. Mounting chamber location.

Valmet Rotary Installation & operating manual, K09157 V1.3 EN

23
3.13. Installation with process coupling
Depending on the consistency level and pulp type the
process coupling should have a certain dimension (H
in Fig. 7). A good rule of thumb is to use 150 mm with
consistencies < 5 %, and 90 mm when consistency is
> 5 %.
If you have any questions about the installation,
please contact your Valmet sales engineer.
The process coupling should be profiled and installed
so that one pin bolt is located at the top of the coupling,
Fig. 8. This makes it easier to mount the transmitter:
when the pin bolt is mounted, the transmitter can be
first secured on that pin bolt. This also reduces the risk
of damaging the mechanical seal by hitting the seal at
the process coupling flange.
The delivery includes a profiling guide for the process
coupling. Make sure the coupling is profiled so that one
hole is on the top, see Fig. 8.
If the process coupling is profiled to 150 mm, three Fig. 7. H= coupling dimension.

Medium consistency installation (> 5%)
The protection bar is used instead of deflector plates
when the process coupling is profiled to 90 mm. Install
as follows:
1. Profile the coupling as required, use the cutting
pattern K08953 for guidance. Bevel the coupling
for welding as shown in Fig. 12.
2. Align the protection bar in the middle of the curved
part. Align the end of the bar with the process
flange (see drawing). If necessary, grind the end
bevel of the arm bigger. Weld all around the part
to ensure that there are no leaks.
3. Make a diam. 190 mm hole to the process pipe.
Also cut a V-shaped notch for the protection bar
to the side facing the flow.
4. Weld the coupling and protection bar to the pro-
cess pipe as shown in Fig. 12. Sand or etch the Fig. 11. Process coupling with protection bar.

Always install the BD model transmitter so that the
3-phase motor points downwards (Fig. 13) for the best
possible protection.

Water connection
1. Install the seal water fittings (included in delivery)
to the R1/4 threads on the mechanical seal of the
transmitter. Use Teflon tape or suitable sealing

2. The incoming and outgoing water connections can
be installed to the transmitter whichever way is the
most convenient. However, make sure that water
flows in the direction indicated by the arrow on the
inlet pipe.
3. Install a shut-off valve to the incoming water line.
4. See Fig. 14. Connect the incoming water to the
right hand side. An arrow on the inlet pipe indi-
cates the flow direction. Install the shut-off valve
to the incoming water line.

NOTE: Make sure the pressure restrictor is mounted to

the inlet pipe! High pressure water can destroy the
mechanical seal or flushing water seal.

5. Install the water overflow assembly to the outgoing

water connection. It should be pointing upwards
so that the water level is secured at all times. The
overflow assembly also ensures that no pressure

2. The use of overload protection is highly recommen-
ded! Set the overload protection to the same value
as the rated current for the motor (indicated on the
rating plate). If the overload protection trips fre-
quently, it may be raised by max. 20%. However,
the external motor temperature must never exceed
80°C (176°F). The temperature can be measured
between the two cooling flanges outside the motor.
3. Install the start/stop switches, safety switch, and
overload protection close to the motor so that they
are within easy reach. This will facilitate calibration
and maintenance, when the motor must be started
and stopped several times. C
4. The motor must be interlocked with the pump mo- A
tor, so that the transmitter stops when the pump
stops.

The transmitter is delivered with factory calibration
and is thus able to measure consistency as soon as
the power is switched on. The factory calibration is
performed for the device during the final factory testing
using pure water.
Valmet recommends calibrating the device again
when setting it up, in order to optimize the device set-
tings for the conditions in which it will be used. Perform
calibration by taking a consistency sample and entering
its laboratory value into the transmitter, as instructed

display will change from Default Calibration to OK.
