HB Products HBCP User manual

  • Hello! I've reviewed the Configurations manual for the HB Products Compressor protection 001-DK unit. This document outlines how to configure the device for optimal operation, including alarm settings, data logging, and other key features. I'm ready to answer any questions you have about it.
  • What is the purpose of the alarm delay parameter?
    What is the function of the filter time constant?
    What is the purpose of the run in signal?
    What is the function of the zero cal function?
    What is alarm hysteresis?
    What data can be logged?

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
2
in
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.
HBCP - Compressor Protection (001-DK)
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
0%
100%
80%
55%
25% Hysteresis

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.
