HB Products HBCP User manual

Brand: HB Products

Model: HBCP

Type: User manual

HB Products HBCP is a compressor protection device designed to detect liquid hammering in refrigerant compressors. It offers customizable alarm settings, a filter function for stable control, and a run-in signal for centralized control. The alarm relay function can be set to normally open or normally closed, and the HBCP low limit alarm provides an early warning when refrigerant levels are low. With advanced settings, users can choose between high or low alarms and set the hysteresis to prevent false triggers.

HBCP - Compressor Protection (001-DK)

afet nstructions

CAUTON! Always read the instruction manual before commencing work! Heed all warnings to the letter!

Installation of the sensor requires technical knowledge of both refrigeration and electronics. Only qualified

personnel should work with the product. The technician must be aware of the consequences of an

improperly installed sensor, and must be committed to adhering to the applicable local legislation.

If changes are made to type-approved equipment, this type approval becomes void. The product's input

and output, as well as its accessories, may only be connected as shown in this guide. HB Products assumes

no responsibility for damages resulting from not adhering to the above.

Explanation of the smbol for safet instructions. In this guide, the symbol below is used to point out

important safety instructions for the user. It will always be found in places in the chapters where the

information is relevant. The safety instructions and the warnings in particular, must always be read and

adhered to.

CAUTION! Refers

to a possible limitation of functionality or risk in usage.

NOTE! Contains important information about the product and provides further tips.

The person responsible for operation must commit to adhering to all the legislative

requirements, preventing accidents, and doing everything so as to avoid damage to people

and materials.

ntended use, conditions of use. The level sensor is designed for continuous measurement of liquid CO

refrigeration systems. If HBCP is to be used in a different way and if the operation of the product in this

function is determined to be problematic, prior approval must be obtained from HB Products.

Prevention of collateral damage Make sure that qualified personnel assess any errors and take necessary

precautions before attempting to make replacements or repairs, so as to avoid collateral damage.

Disposal instructions: HBCP is constructed so that the modules can easily be removed and sorted for

disposal.

nstallation of HBCP Configuration Tool

See separate manual for installation of HB Tool.

PC Configuration

The sensor is supplied with the following configuration options and factory settings.

CAUTON! Factory settings do not guarantee safe operation, since the configuration parameters

depend on the type of compressor/separator.

Description of Functions – Parameter etup

Based on the information below, it is possible to adjust the sensor to the application:

”Edit configuration” tab:

Alarm setting in %

Alarm, H/L: Indicates the desired alarm level. It is given in % of max measurement range.

Alarm dela in sec

Dela – alarm: The delay from when the liquid level falls/rises to under/over the selected alarm, indicated

in seconds.

Filter time const. in sec.

Filter function: Averages the measurement so that the control function is performed based on an average

measurement in a programmable time span (in seconds). This is increased if there are brief fluctuations in

the measurement, which lead to unstable control.

Run in signal

Decentralised activation: With this function it is possible to activate centralised control. If one does not

want this, the function must be set to OFF, otherwise the sensor's control function will not work (power

LED will blink when run-in signal is active or if this function is deactivated).

Zero & span ca. function

Calibrating function: ON in case calibration of the sensor is allowed. After start-up and possibly the first

calibration, the tool can be connected and is deactivated.

Alarm rela function

Alarm rela function: Here, the relay function is indicated, depending upon the instructions – NO or NC

(normally open/normally closed).

HBCP low limit alarm

HBCP warning alarm: Here, you can set which percent level should trigger an alarm signal. The difference

between this and alarm is that this should act as a warning. Small amounts of refrigerant have been

returned to the compressor.

”Advanced settings” tab:

High or low alarm

High or low alarm: Here one inputs the desired alarm type - high or low. Low alarm can be set between 0

and 50%, and high alarm can be set between 50 and 100%.

HBCP - Compressor Protection (001-DK)

Alarm hsteresis in %

Hsteresis – alarm: Indicates the deviation required before the alarm is deactivated, following activation of

the alarm.

Alarm hysteresis in percent of the probe’s calibrated span 0 and 100%.

Alarm setting is as well in % of the probe’s calibrated span 0 and 100%.

E.g. alarm setting = 80%, Alarm hysteresis = 25%

HBCP - Compressor Protection (001-DK)

Fane ”Log”:

The sensor logs data and thus provides a history for the analysis of alarm and time. The data logger can log

up to 16,000 sets of data. When this value is exceeded, the oldest data is erased. The data logger can be set

100%

80%

55%

up with any kind of data that you would like logged, as well as with the desired time for data logging: 1s,

30s, 1m, 5m 10m, 30m, 1h

elect values to displa:

elect the data that must be logged

a) Values in % or pF:

b) Show gas alarms log:

c) Show gas level logs:

elect Log interval: Here you can choose how often a set of data can be saved in the log. You have the

following options: 1s, 30s, 1m, 5m 10m, 30m, 1h.

When these have been chosen, the log is activated by pressing “start log”, and it can be stopped by

pressing “stop log”. It is possible to display the log directly in the Tool, and it is also possible to export the

data to Excel.

Rest log module lets you reset the data logger and start over.
