1.0 INTRODUCTION ™ The SIERRA INSTRUMENTS Innova-Switch Switch is the state-of-the-art in gaseous and liquid flow switching or liquid level control. Flow or level detection is accomplished by using a high resolution thermal differential technique. The sensor wetted parts are of durable 316L series stainless steel, all welded construction with no moving parts. The switch is easy to install and adjust, giving reliable, low maintenance performance in the most demanding applications.

2.1 LEVEL SWITCHING The thermal differential created between the heated and reference unheated RTD pair is a function of the liquid or gas medium with which the sensor is in contact. The point level measurement application uses the heat transfer differences between two media to detect liquid level. For example, air has a relatively poor heat transfer characteristic so the heated sensor will become relatively hot. If the sensor is then immersed in water, the relatively high heat tr

FIGURE 2A: RELATIVE CHANGE IN RESPONSE OF A HEATED RTD IMMERSED IN VARIOUS MEDIA 2.2 Flow Switching Most mass flow monitoring techniques calculate mass indirectly by measuring volumetric flow such as gallons per minute or cubic cm per second, then either measure density separately or calculate it from temperature measurements of the fluid and, finally, combine density and volumetric flow to obtain mass flow. Th

When the sensor is inserted into a liquid or gas the heated RTD is strongly affected by the velocity of the medium. Flow past the heated RTD changes the heat transferred from the surface of the sensor. This cooling effect reduces the ™ temperature of the sensor. The Innova-Switch compares this change to a preset flow trip point to switch the output. Figure 2B shows the model FS4200 signal change vs. flow rate for air, light hydrocarbon liquids, and water. The signal change vs velo

Figure 3.A shows a block diagram of the Innova-Switch™ switch. Once the switch is set to respond to the minimum and maximum flow rates (or wet vs. dry conditions), the trip point is set by adjusting the Trip Adjust Potentiometer. Solid state electronics transform the flow (or wetting) induced temperature differential into a voltage that is compared to a control voltage. Matching voltages cause actuation of a relay to indicate a change in state (flow vs. no-flow or dry vs. wet).

The instrument enclosure at the top of unit contains the Innova-Switch™ electronics board which is removable to access the terminal block and facilitate field wiring (see Figure 4.0). For applications where the electronics must be located away from the sensors due to elevated process temperature, accessibility, etc., another instrument head containing the electronics is remotely located (See option RE-Remote Electronics section 3.2.2).

3.0 Installation 3.1 Mechanical Installation ™ The standard Innova-Switch has a .75 inch (19.05mm) MNPT mount designed for easy installation through a threaded port. Optional configurations include .5” (12.7mm) or 1.0” (25.4mm) MNPT and flange mounts. Conduit is recommended for all wiring to the switch. *IMPORTANT* WHEN INSTALLING YOUR SIERRA INSTRUMENTS SWITCH INTO A PIPE OR VESSEL USE A 1 1/8 INCH (28.575mm) OPEN-END WRENCH TO TIGHTEN AT THE HEX FLATS OF THE MNPT OF
