DESCRIPTION
All Westport axles whether I-Beam or Tubular are of an inclined King Pin configuration as shown
in the illustration above. With the exception of the tubular beam, the I-Beam, knuckles, tie rod and
steer arms are forged, heat treated, high strength carbon or alloy steel.
Inclined king pins of straight (non-tapering) form connect the knuckle to the axle and act as
pivots. The upper and lower ends of the king pins fit into replaceable, steel-backed bronze bushings
which are pressed and burnished into the knuckle yokes. Supplementing the king pin bushings
are steel tapered roller thrust bearings which carry the weight of the axle center and, subsequently
the entire weight of the front of the vehicle.
Steering and tie rod arms are designed to attach to the steering knuckle through a tapered
hole using a Woodruff key for positioning. This allows the axle to be custom built with regards to
specific steering and tie rod arm choices.
All Westport axles that are fully dressed with brakes and wheel equipment at the factory use
the oil bath (wet) system exclusively. Greased wheel ends available, upon request.

TUBE AXLE REPAIR

TUBE AXLE - REPAIR WELDING AND ADD-ON BRACKETS
1. If the crack or break is in the weld area only, grind or back gouge weld to base metal.
2. Reweld area
A. Preferably use welding rod that will produce a minimum 70,000 psi weld.
B. Prior to welding, clean weld joint of grease, dirt, paint, slag, rust, etc.
C. Make sure axle is grounded. However, not through the axle hub or wheel.
D. Bring tube to be welded to 50/60 degrees F. prior to welding.
E. Preheat area to be welded to 450 degrees, minimum, to prevent the formation of
martensite. (Brittle metal)
F. Weld in a flat or horizontal position.
G. A multi-pass weld is preferred.
H. The arc should not be broken at the end of each pass. Back up the electrode to fill in the
fillet crater, at the end of each pass.
I. Do not weld on top or bottom of the tube.
J. Do not test weld on the axle tube.
K. When complete, wrap the weld joint for controlled cool down. This procedure is highly
recommended.
NOTE: This process should also be used when affixing brackets to the tube, at the initial
installation.

SECTION VII
CAMBER, CASTER, TOE-IN DESCRIPTION/ADJUSTMENT
OVERVIEW
Excessive tire wear is one of the most frequently asked questions about front axle problems. Over
half of tire wear problems are caused by incorrect tire inflation pressures. However, tire wear is only
a symptom of a problem in the front axle steering system.

SECTION VII
FRONT AXLE CASTER
1. Front axle caster is the amount of fore and aft tilt at the top
CASTER
of the king pin, and is measured in degrees.
POSITIVE
2. "Positive" caster is when the top of the pin is tilted toward
the rear
3. "Negative" caster is when the top of the pin is tilted toward
the front.
4. I-Beam axles
Caster is adjusted normally with spacers at the I-Beam
spring pads and is set by the OEM.
Tubular axles SIDE VIEW
Caster setting gauge p/n 1989, can be obtained from FIGURE 6
Westport. This will aid in setting the caster angle on
tubular axles.
5. Caster improves directional stability.
6. Caster should be inspected with a loaded vehicle.
7. Uneven tightening of suspension fasteners can affect caster.
8. Caster does not normally affect tire wear. However, a maximum of 1/2 degree difference
from left side vs. right side must be maintained. Greater than 1/2 degree differential will
cause the vehicle to pull to the side with less caster.
9. Caster cannot and should not be adjusted by bending the I-Beam, cold or with heat. Any
attempts to do so will cause a dangerous condition. Warranty will not cover axles that are
adjusted this way.
CASTER AFFECTS:
Too Little Caster = Unstable steering Too Much Caster = Hard steering
Constant corrections Shimmy
Over steering Road shock
Road walk
Failure to return to straight ahead from a turn
NOTES:
(Continued on next page)
Rev. 1/2/00
- 30 -
SECTION VII
FRONT AXLE CASTER
CASTER SETTING:
As stated before the final caster setting is the responsibility of the OEM. However, the following is
a good starting point
Steerable Axles: 2 Degrees Positive = Best Tread Wear

4 Degrees Positive = Best Handling
Tag/Pusher Steerable Axles: Set Caster at 3 to 5 Degrees Positive
NOTE: Because of variation in axle types, suspension types, loads and position in the
chassis, we suggest you start with the least amount of caster. Increase the angle by 1/2
degree increments until tag/pusher axle stabilizes.
NOTES:
Rev. 1/2/00
- 31 -
SECTION VII
FRONT AXLE CAMBER
1. Front axle camber is the sideways

inclination of the wheel from a CAMBER
vertical plane.
2. Positive camber is an outward tilt or
inclination of the wheel at the top.
3. Negative camber is an inward tilt of the

wheel at the top.
4. Camber is not adjustable. No attempt
should be made to adjust camber by
bending the I-Beam, cold or with heat.
Any attempts to do so will cause a
dangerous condition. Warranty will not
cover axles that are adjusted this way.
5. Camber should be inspected with a
loaded vehicle.
6. Actual front axle loads different than

design loads will display values in
camber other than what was actually
designed. FIGURE 7
7. Too much camber, positive or negative will affect tire wear. This wear will show up on the
inside or outside edge of the tire.
CAMBER AFFECTS:
Too Much Positive = Excessive wear outside shoulder of tire
Quick steering response
Front end vibration
Too Much Negative = Hard steering

Possible wandering
Excessive wear inside shoulder of tire
Too Much Differential = Vehicle will pull to the side with greatest
Left side vs. right side amount of positive camber
Max. differential = 1/2 degree greatest positive camber
Rev. 1/2/00
- 32 -
SECTION VII
FRONT AXLE TOE-IN
1. Toe-In is the amount which the wheels

point inward at the front, and is B
A-B= TOE - IN
necessary to offset the effect of camber
on tire wear.
2. Maximum allowable camber requires
maximum allowable toe-in.
3. Proper toe-in along with camber will
insure long tire life.
4. Toe-in is measured from the center of
the treads at height of wheel centers.
5. Measurement should be made with the
wheels in a straight ahead position and A
after the vehicle has been moved

forward to take up all play in steering FIGURE 8 - TOE-IN
connections.
6. Toe-in adjustment must be taken with the tires on the ground with full load on axle.
7. Adjustment is made through the front axle tie rod assembly. The crosstube or the tie rod
assembly can be rotated, once the clamp fasteners are loosened, when adjustment is
completed secure fasteners on the clamps with the proper torque.
NOTE: Tie rod assemblies with welded clamps.

Do not cut weld to reposition clamp bolt after adjustment is completed. Clamp
bolt must be positioned over cut slot in the tube. Failure to do this can result in
a weakened attachment.
Tie rod assemblies with rotational clamps. (not welded)
After adjustment these clamps can be positioned 360 degrees around the tube
without sacrificing clamp load.
TOE-IN AFFECTS:
Excessive toe-in (positive) = Rapid tire wear on the outside shoulder of the tires.
Toe-out (negative) = Rapid tire wear on the inside shoulder of the tires.
TOE-IN SETTINGS:
Even though toe-in is the responsibility of the vehicle manufacturer or receiving dealer of the unit,
the following setting gives favorable results.
1/32 1/32 loaded unit
Rev. 1/2/00
- 33 -
SECTION VII
OTHER FACTORS THAT AFFECT TIRE WEAR
1. Fifth wheel placement and location of heavy components, such as batteries, fuel tanks, etc.
have a significant effect on weight distribution, therefore, tire wear.
2. Light front axle loads display irregular wear pattern.
3. Weak or improper sized shock absorbers.
4. Proper tire inflation.
5. Tire and wheel balancing.
6. Adjusted wheel bearings.
7. Loose or worn front axle and suspension components.
8. Bent axle parts.
9. Front axle squareness to the chassis.
10. With tandem rear axles. Squareness to the chassis and parallel to each other.
11. Improper Ackerman (tie rod) arms specified on axles that are installed into vehicles that
make many turns.
12. Trailer axle squareness and parallelism.
NOTE: Front axle alignment alone may not be the ultimate cure to tire wear problems.
Most of the items listed should be corrected or looked at first. Since many of these
items left unchecked could negate any front axle alignment.

must be checked and verified by the customer prior to releasing the assembly to their customer.
GREASE FITTING LUBRICATION
Westport Axle Corporation will grease all fittings on the axle assembly prior to shipment, but the
customer is resonsible to assure final lubrication to release to their customer.
OIL LUBRICATION
Westport Axle Corporation will provide proper wheel end oil fill at time of shipment to our customers
unless requested not to do so, however, due to possible static seepage from the hub cap, the
customer is responsible for proper oil level after the axle leaves our facility.

Kit 9900194-008 Shimming Process
Installation Information
Introduction
This shim kit is to replace the crush ring within the pump
housing. If the housing, drive shaft, shaft bearings or end
cover is replaced during servicing, the original crush ring can
no longer be used to assure proper bearing set.
Shimming procedures:
1 Measure the thickness of the existing crush ring.
2 To obtain a starting point, stack shims to a few thou-
sandth of an inch less than the measurement of existing
crush ring. Then insert shims into the housing in the
same location as the removed crush ring.
3 Assemble the housing (**without interface o-ring seals),
shaft bearings, shaft and end cover. Install the end cover cap
screws and torque to 97 +/- 9 lbf.ft.
4 Using a dial indicator, measure drive shaft end play. Target Cap Screws 30
bearing set range is .001" clearance to .002" interference
(preload). Add shims to achieve proper bearing set. If no
movement of the shaft is observed, shims will need to be
removed and steps 3 and 4 repeated.

1.0 MEANING OF SAFETY SIGNAL WORDS
A This is a safety alert symbol, throughout the text it alerts you to potential personal injury hazards. Obey all safety
messages that follow to avoid possible injury or death.
A safety related message is identified by a safety alert symbol and a signal word to indicate the level of risk
involved with a particular hazard. Per ANSI standard Z535.4-1998 the definition of the three signal words is as
follows:
DANGER indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in
,DANGER death or serious injury.

2.0 GENERAL INFORMATION

Task Force Tips ice-control nozzles have been specifically designed to apply water, glycol or water/glycol based ice-
control fluids to aircraft exterior surfaces at fluid temperatures up to 210 degrees F (99 degrees C). The proper use of de-
icing agents aids ground support professionals in the removal of ice from aircraft fuselage, landing gear and wing
surfaces. The proper use of anti-icing agents aids ground support professionals in their efforts to prevent ice and snow
from adhering to the wings of aircraft. This may extend holdover times and help make air travel in cold weather conditions
less hazardous. These nozzles are only part of a complete ice-control system. Suitability of a particular nozzle for
applying de-icing or anti-icing fluids must be determined by the end user of the nozzle.
Valved ice-control nozzles have:

Automatic Pressure Control for optimum reach
Slide-Type valve with heat resistant EPDM seat - The valve design controls the flow through the nozzle
while minimizing turbulence that causes shear and degradation of Type II fluids
Pattern Control - This nozzle features a "toothless" bumper to reduce air turbulence, and can be easily
adjusted for any desired spray pattern between a straight stream or wide spray position.
Pistol Grip - The pistol grip and flow control handle are insulated to protect the operator from the high
temperatures generated by fluids passing through the nozzle.
One Twist Flushing - Easily flushable while flowing to clear trapped debris
Warranty- TFT's five-year warranty and unsurpassed service with 24 hour factory turnaround time.
Electric remote control ice-control nozzles have:

Automatic Pressure Control for optimum reach
Sealed electric motor with easy to use manual override
Pattern Control - This nozzle features a "toothless" bumper to reduce air turbulence, and can be easily
adjusted for any desired spray pattern between a straight stream or wide spray position.
Flush - Easily flushable while flowing to clear trapped debris
Warranty - TFT's five-year warranty and unsurpassed service with 24 hour factory turnaround time.

FIGURE2 - FLOW CURVES
Friction losses may vary due to differences in hoses/piping construction resulting in flows different than those shown.
Flows can be calculated using conventional hydraulics.
These flow curves are for reference only. User must determine suitability of the stream for the particular purpose for
which it is being used. Such factors as fluid to water ratio, manufacturer of fluid, fluid temperature and equipment
used to supply fluid to the nozzle may produce variation from the flows and pressures shown above.

4.0 NOZZLE CONTROLS
4.1 FLOW CONTROL
4.1.1 LEVER TYPE FLOW CONTROL
On models that use a bail type valve handle, the nozzle is shut off when the handle is fully forward. The valve
handle has six detent flow positions. These detent positions allow the nozzle operator to regulate the flow of the
nozzle depending on the need or what can be safely and effectively handled
4.1.2 ELECTRIC REMOTE NOZZLES
On models with electric remote control of the shaper there is no built in flow control. Flow control must be
provided for elsewhere in the system.
4.2 PATTERN AND FLUSH CONTROL
4.2.1 PATTERN CONTROL
4.2.1.1 MANUAL PATTERN CONTROL
On models that use a twist type pattern control, a continuously variable pattern from narrow to wide is
available. Turning the SHAPER clockwise as seen from the operating position behind the nozzle moves the
SHAPER to the straight stream position. Turning the SHAPER counterclockwise will result in an increasingly
wider pattern. An indicator band on the nozzle barrel shows which position the SHAPER is in by
progressively uncovering symbols for FLUSHING, WIDE SPRAY and STRAIGHT STREAM.
4.2.1.2 ELECTRIC PATTERN CONTROL j

On models that use an electric pattern control a continuously variable pattern from narrow to wide is
available by operating the electric actuator according to the directions supplied with the actuator control
panel. Extending the SHAPER outwards as seen from behind the nozzle moves the SHAPER to the straight
stream position. Retracting the SHAPER inwards will result in an increasingly wider pattern. The actuator
"free wheels" at stroke ends making limit switches unnecessary. A manual override lever on the electric
actuator when depressed allows the manual override knob to be turned. Turning the knob counterclockwise
as seen from the operating position behind the nozzle extends the SHAPER towards the straight stream
position. Turning the knob clockwise retracts the SHAPERtowards the wide spray position.

the manual override mode of operation by moving past the wide spray position. See 3.2.1.2 for instruction
on how to use manual override.
During flush, the nozzle will lose much of its reaction force and reach as the pressure drops. The nozzle

Discharge in degradation of the fluid and render it ineffective in preventing a buildup of
ice on aircraft surfaces prior to takeoff. Consult fluid manufacturer's recommended
guidelines.
Rated fluid temperatures at the nozzlemust not be exceeded. Use of saltwater in these nozzles isnot permissible and will
lead to a shortened service life.
Some features of this nozzle that the operator should be aware of are:
Automatic Pressure Control for de-icing - When used for de-icing these nozzles from TFT incorporate a
pressure regulating mechanism, which means the fluid discharge velocity is nearly constant. With a constant
nozzle discharge pressure, the de-icing agent will have optimum reach at all flow settings, thereby reducing
waste due to insufficient range of the stream.
Slide-Type valve with heat resistant EPDM seat - On nozzles with a valve the valve design controls the flow
through the nozzle while minimizing turbulence that causes shear and degradation of Type 2 fluids. Because of
this feature the nozzle can be operated at any handle position, thereby allowing the operator to regulate the
amount of agent being applied. This gives the operator the ability to conserve fluid and minimize waste without
sacrificing reach or range of the stream. Unlike a ball valve, the stainless steel slide valve is not directly in the t_
flow path and will not tighten under pressure, or bind with age. Therefore, it is always easy to operate.
Pattern Control - This nozzle features a "toothless" bumper to reduce airturbulence, and can be easily adjusted
for any desired spray pattern by moving the shaper between a straight stream or wide spray position. This will be
beneficial when applying fluids to sensitive areas of the aircraft.
Sealed electric motor with easy to use manual override - On electric remote models the nozzle is equipped
with a sealed motor/gear housing which prevents contamination of the actuator with dirt and fluids. The actuator
features an easy to use override mechanism to allow manual setting of the pattern or to place the nozzle into flush
mode.
Flushable while flowing - The nozzle shaper when retracted fully puts the nozzle into flush providing an
oversized fluid passageway which allows trapped debris to exitthe nozzle. On manual models an increase in
turning force on the shaper signals the operator that the nozzle is moving into flush.
An inadequate supply of nozzle pressure and/or flow will cause an ineffective stream and
can result in incomplete removal or incomplete protection from the buildup of ice on
flight surfaces which may lead to injury, death or loss of property.Call 800-348-2686 for

A Brief Introduction to
Refractometers
This brief introduction on measuring refractive index will go
a long way in helping you to understand how this instrument
operates as well as provide a little background information on
its history.
N
early a century and a half after their introduction, refractometers have
come a long way in terms of usefulness, though their principle of
operation has changed very little. Refractometers still remain essential
instruments for fluid measurement, quality control, and process
control applications.
Refractometers are optical instruments designed to measure the refractive index

of a solution. Refractive index is a dimensionless quantity expressed as the ratio
of the speed of light in air to the speed of light in a fluid. Roughly speaking, it is
the degree to which light bends when it enters a solution.
Refractive index is a fundamental physical property of a substance and once

measured, it can often be used as a basis for conversion into other physical
properties such as percent concentration, boiling point, freeze point, specific
gravity, etc.
Bending Light
Optics have historically been one of the most fundamentally applied areas of
physics. This is as true today as at any other time in the last 500 years. From the
discoveries by Roemer, Snell, and Newton in the 17th and 18th centuries, to the
development of lasers, light emitting diodes, and fiberoptics in the 20th century,
the field of optics continues to challenge scientists and spawn entire new
industries.
3
One of the most elementary phenomena in optics is refraction, the apparent

change in direction that occurs when light passes from one transparent medium
into another with a different optical density.
Very nearly four centuries ago, Danish astronomer, Ole Roemer, determined that
light travels at approximately 186,000 miles per second (~300,000,000 meters per
second) in space. A short time later, Willebrord Snell, a Dutch physicist,
discovered that the speed of light depends on the medium through which it
passes. In water this speed is roughly 140,000 miles per second (~255,000,000
meters per second) and in glass, approximately 124,000 miles per second
(~200,000,000 meters per second).
Snell discovered that when light crosses an interface between a less-dense

medium, such as air, to an optically denser medium, such as water, it will appear
to bend. It is the difference in refractive index of the two materials that causes the
light to be bent. This bending takes place toward the normal, which is an
imaginary plane running perpendicular to the interface between the two materials.
One example of this is the apparent bending of a pencil when it is immersed in a

glass of water. The bending appears to take place at the surface of the water, or
precisely at the point where there is a transition of density. Obviously, the pencil
is not really bending, but the light forming the image of the pencil is being bent as
it passes from the water (a medium of higher density) to the air (a medium of
lower density).
With respect to the refractive index of fluids, Snell determined that the refractive
index was related to the speed of light in air divided by the speed of light in the
fluid. He held that the refractive index of the fluid could be accurately determined
by the degree to which the light was bent when entering the solution. The greater
the refractive index of the fluid, the more the light will be bent.
This all sounds very straight forward and simple; however, there are a number of
things that complicate matters. The amount light bends when entering a fluid
depends, not only on the wavelength of light, but also on the temperature of the
fluid. Since fluids tend to be dispersive mediums, different wavelengths of light
will bend at different rates within the fluid. This means that each component
wavelength of a beam of white light will be refracted at a different angle, much
like white light projected through a prism. The refractive index measurement of
most fluids is made at a single wavelength of light. Most commonly this
wavelength is the Sodium D-Line (589.3 nm).
Further, since refractive index is directly related to the density of a substance,

changes in density will have an increasing or decreasing effect on refractive index.
Nearly all materials expand when heated (become less dense) and contract when
cooled (become more dense). To counteract this uncertainty, most refractive
index measurements are made at a reference temperature which is typically 20
or 25 C.
4
Keeping these key constraints in mind, it is imperative to properly record the

wavelength and temperature at which the refractive index reading was observed.
Without this additional information, the refractive index value alone is
meaningless. The correct notation for refractive index is n. The Sodium D-Line
is notated as D, and the temperature is typically noted as an integer. The
refractive index of water at 20 C, measured at the Sodium D-Line, would be
recorded as nD20.
The History of Refractometers

In 1621, Willebrord Snell determined the relationship between different angles of
light as it passed from one medium to another, but it would take nearly 250 years
more before Ernst Abbe would make use of Snells research to devise an
instrument capable of directly measuring refractive index.
Although Abbe is the undisputed father of refractometry, he is probably best

known for the advances he made in glass composition and formulation, optical
theory, microscopic imaging, and the design and fabrication of advanced optical
systems.
Abbe was a brilliant mathematician and physicist who was born into an
impoverished family in Eisenach, Germany in 1840. He obtained undergraduate
degrees in math and physics from the University of Jena and later received a
Ph.D. in thermodynamics.
Abbe joined the faculty at the University of Jena

where he taught physics until meeting Carl Zeiss, a
well known German industrialist and microscope
manufacturer, in 1866. The two became fast friends,
and Zeiss soon made Abbe the research director of
Zeiss Optical Works.
Abbe is credited with inventing the refractometer in

1869, although he didnt write about it for another five
years. In 1874, Abbe published a paper in which he
first described the theory and equipment necessary to
measure refractive index by total reflection using
prisms, the principle upon which most of todays
refractometers are based. Abbe also recognized the
dependence of refractive index on temperature and developed a refractometer
with heatable prisms and a prism thermometer. He also developed a method to
adjust for the color dispersion of samples.
Refractometers were first used internally at Zeiss until they were introduced as
products around 1881. Zeiss and Abbe worked very closely together until 1888,
5
when Zeiss died at the age of 72. Abbe then took control of the company and ran
it until his own death in 1905.
With only minor modifications, the Zeiss Company dominated the refractometer
market for nearly half a century with little or no competition. It was the
combination of the explosive growth of science and industry after World War I,
together with the expiration of the original Abbe patents, which led a number of
other companies around the world to enter the refractometer market with
instruments based on Abbes design.
After World War II, several companies introduced the first inline refractometers.
These instruments were rather crude by todays standards. The fluid flow was
directed through a housing that contained traditional optical elements. An
eyepiece on the housing magnified the point that a shadow-line crossed a tiny
internal scale.
Although these first inline instruments eliminated the need for manual fluid
sampling and testing, they did not provide a signal output for recording or
process control. It wasnt until the 1970s, that the first process control
refractometers were developed that provided digital readouts and signal outputs.
Since that time, inline refractometers have continued to evolve and are becoming
more and more common for many fluid measurement, quality control, and
process-control applications.

About Your New
VIP Inline Refractometer
The MISCO VIP (Very Important Process) Refractometer is an
inline/process control refractometer that incorporates the latest
advances in refractometer sensor technology and is designed to be
mounted directly into a pipeline or tank.
T
he MISCO VIP is designed for the rapid continuous monitoring of fluid
properties. The instrument will automatically compensate for temperature with
computer precision, and when used and cared for properly, will provide years of
trouble-free service. Integration into fluid handling equipment will help to enhance
and standardize fluid quality control. The system capabilities include:
Continuous monitoring and digital display of fluid properties

Stainless steel sensor head
Fluid temperature measurement
Single 4-20 mA output (second 4-20 mA output is optional)
OPTION: One to three customer-specified relay outputs, to drive high-load external relays
OPTION: Two additional relays can be added for a total of five relays, if needed
The instruction manual is meant as a general manual for features common to all VIP Inline
Refractometers. Please read the accompanying Specifications Page for detailed information
concerning your particular model. This manual will help you maximize the usefulness of
this instrument and MUST be read thoroughly before use. If you have any questions,
please call MISCO technical support at (216) 831-1000.

Refractive Index
Although your particular refractometer may have special scales and may not display
refractive index directly, the measurement of refractive index is the underlying principle
behind all measurements.
Refractive index is a physical property of a substance and has become a valuable method
for determining fluid concentrations. Refractive index is actually a measure of the speed of
light. In liquids, it relates to the difference between the speed of light in air to the speed of
light in the liquid, or how much the light is slowed as it travels through the liquid. The
MISCO VIP Inline Refractometer is able to accurately determine extremely small changes
in the speed of light (or fluid concentrations).
Temperature Compensation
It is well know that substantially all materials expand when heated (become less dense) and
contract when cooled (become more dense). As the temperature of a liquid decreases, it
becomes more dense, and the light moving through it is slowed. Although this thermal
effect is small for solids, the change in density for liquids is substantial.
Automatic temperature compensation ensures that concentration readings of aqueous

(water soluble) solutions will be accurate with respect to the samples temperature. The
MISCO VIP Inline Refractometer is able to automatically sense and correct for differences
in the temperature of the sample relative to a reference temperature, which is usually 20C.
Warning
Always read and follow the safety and handling precautions in the Material Safety Data Sheet
(MSDS) for the fluid you are testing. Pay particular attention to recommendations on wearing
protective equipment and sample disposal.

Component Descriptions
It is important to learn the names and function of each of the
VIP components and to understand how they interrelate.
T
he VIP Inline Refractometer should be thought of as an integrated system that
is composed of a number of separate components. A Central
Processor/Control Unit (Control Unit) houses the main electronic assembly
and display. The Control Unit is supplied with power through the Power
/Relay Harness, which also carries the relay and 4-20 mA outputs. The Control Unit is
connected, by means of a heavy industrial cable, to a remotely mounted Sensor Head.
Each of these parts is described in more detail below:
Sensor Head
The Sensor Head of the MISCO VIP Inline
Refractometer is the active, pipeline or tank-mounted
portion of the system, which measures the refractive
index of the fluid. The actual measurement takes place
on the surface of the optical element (Optic) on the
face of the Sensor Head. The fluid mixture in direct
contact with this surface will be detected through observation of the fluids
characteristic index of refraction. Sophisticated internal processing performed by the
custom microcontroller, integrated into the Control Unit, calculates the physical
property of interest, compensates for temperature effects, and displays the reading on
the Control Unit display.
The watertight Sensor Head houses a precision Optic element, custom light source,
photo-detectors, and the amplification circuitry used to make measurements. The
stainless-steel body has either 1 NPT threads or a Sanitary Tri-Clamp design. The
Sensor Head unit is sealed with O-rings to protect against intrusion of water or other
foreign objects and is connected to the Control Unit by a heavy-duty industrial data
cable. The Sensor Head is self-powered and does not require a separate power
connection.
9
Control Unit
The NEMA IV watertight Control Unit performs all the
communication with the Sensor Head as well as signal
and data processing. It also serves as an interface to the
outside world through the LCD display, or through
signals sent to electronic data loggers, PLCs, or
automated pump and valve units.
The front panel of the Control Unit houses a backlit

LCD display, a power indicator, and three buttons. The
display will show the fluid property, or fluid
temperature, as well as any applicable error messages.
The buttons will power the Control Unit on and off, switch the readings between
scales, and show the fluid temperature. The following controls and indicators are
available on the front of the Control Unit:
The POWER button (if equipped) turns unit on and off.
The SELECT SCALE button switches between scales.
The TEMPERATURE button displays the current fluid temperature.
The POWER INDICATOR is a green light that will be illuminated when the unit is powered.
One line x 16-character-illuminated LCD DISPLAY.
NOTE: THE FLUID TYPE BUTTON MUST BE MANUALLY SET TO MATCH THE SCALE TO THE
TYPE OF FLUID IN THE FLUID HANDLING SYSTEM. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL RESULT IN
INACCURATE READINGS.
When displaying a reading on the MISCO VIP Inline Refractometer, the Control Unit
will indicate the unit of measure (Brix, % concentration, freeze point, etc.) together
with the measured value.
Pressing and holding the TEMPERATURE button will display the fluid temperature
at the Sensor Head. When released, the system will again display the unit of measure
and measurement value. The unit of measure for temperature can be changed between
degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit only at the factory.
The Control Unit also provides connectors for the Sensor Head Cable and the
Power/Relay Harness. It may also provide an optional connector for a remote LCD
display. These connectors are either splash proof or watertight.
10
Sensor Cable
A 19-pin, watertight harness connects the Sensor
Head to the Control Unit. It carries the power and
communication lines necessary for the Sensor
Head operation. The Sensor Head is watertight to
IP 68/NEMA 6P standards. Although the
connector at the Sensor Head end is watertight,
MISCO recommends against fully submerging the Sensor Head in fluid. The standard
cable length is 12-foot; however, optional cable lengths of 6-foot and 36-foot are
available. DO NOT attempt to shorten or lengthen the Sensor Cable.
WARNING: ENSURE THAT THE MISCO VIP INLINE REFRACTOMETER IS POWERED
OFF BEFORE THIS HARNESS IS CONNECTED OR DISCONNECTED. DAMAGE TO
THE SENSOR HEAD CAN RESULT IF THE SYSTEM IS ON WHEN IT IS PLUGGED IN.
WARNING: THE SENSORS AND CONTROL UNITS ARE MATED TOGETHER AND
IDENTIFIED BY NUMBER. MAKE SURE THAT THE NUMBER ON THE SENSOR AND
THE NUMBER ON THE CONTROL UNIT MATCH BEFORE CONNECTING THE TWO
COMPONENTS TOGETHER. ATTACHING THE WRONG SENSOR AND CONTROL
UNIT TOGETHER WILL CAUSE INACCURATE READINGS AND MAY RESULT IN
DAMAGE TO BOTH COMPONENTS.
Power/Relay Harness
The small 8-pin Power/Relay Harness connects the MISCO VIP Inline Refractometer
to an external 24VDC (or optional 12VDC) power supply. It also carries the relay and
4-20 mA outputs and is weatherproof to IP 68/NEMA 6P standards.
Remote Display (optional)

The MISCO VIP Inline Refractometer can be configured when ordered to drive a
remote LCD display. This display will show exactly what is being shown on the main
display, but in a smaller enclosure that can be installed in a more convenient location.
Additional Features
In the event that your particular VIP Inline Refractometer has any additional or unique
features, please read the special Addendum, located at the end of this manual, for
instructions on using and implementing these features.

System Installation
It is important to carefully follow the steps in this section to ensure
the proper installation and operation of the VIP Inline
Refractometer.
C
areful thought and planning will go a long way in easing the pains associated
with installing your new inline refractometer. Please read this section
completely before attempting to install or operate this equipment. Each step
of the process is essential for maximizing the accuracy of your readings,
extending the service life of the equipment, and preventing damage during the
installation process.
I.) Planning the Installation

Follow these guidelines when planning for the initial installation of this equipment:
1) If the MISCO VIP Inline Refractometer will be used to control external

equipment, such as recorders, blenders, mixers, PLCs, etc., this equipment
should be installed first.
2) Plan the installation location for the MISCO VIP Inline Refractometer Sensor
Head. This location should be:
a) Downstream of the pumps, blenders, mixers, and fluid heaters.
i) If the refractometer is being used in a loop to control blenders or

dosing pumps, locate the Sensor Head as close to the dosing point as
possible to get immediate feedback of fluid concentration changes.
b) Preferably at the end of a straight run of pipe to allow fluid turbulence and
air bubbles to settle.
c) In an area with the highest operational temperature and pressure to help

minimize coating of the Sensor Optic.
12
i) Most fluids are more soluble at higher temperatures and have lower
viscosities.
ii) Fluid pressure should not exceed 10.34 bar (150 psi) and the
temperature should be in the range -28 C to 100 C (-20 F to 212 F).
d) Where the fluid is well-mixed, not changing temperature rapidly, and

preferably in the smallest diameter of pipe (highest velocity) possible.
e) Where the sensor can be mounted in a T-Fitting at 30 to 90 from vertical

to minimize air bubbles or sediment buildup.
i) Isolate the T-Fitting with shutoff valves so that the Sensor Head can
be removed for cleaning, maintenance, and calibration.
ii) Allow for a suitable petcock close to the Sensor Head for taking fluid
samples and/or draining the pipe.
iii) It may be advantageous to install the Sensor Head on a parallel bypass

pipe so that flow past the Sensor Head can be stopped without
stopping the main process stream.
f) If mounted on mobile equipment: The Sensor Head should be protected

from debris kicked up by tires or splashed snow and slush.
g) If tank-mounted: Mount in a region where the fluid is well-mixed and

there are a minimum of air bubbles. The Sensor Optic must be protected
from ambient light.
II.) Mounting the Control Unit

1) To maximize the performance and reliability of the system, select an
installation location for the Control Unit using these guidelines:
a) Securely mount the Control Unit vertically, in a protected location, where

temperature changes are minimized.
i) Bolts and lock washers are provided for mounting to four threaded
holes on the rear of the Control Unit.
ii) DO NOT DRILL ANY HOLES IN THE CONTROL UNIT.
b) Although the electronics will operate accurately between -28 C to 65 C (-

20 F to 150 F), the optimum operating range is between 4 C to 32 C
(40 F to 90 F).
13
c) Keep in mind that the standard distance between the Control Unit and
Sensor Head is 12-feet. Extra-length cables are available that can span a
distance of 36-feet.
III.) Installing the Sensor Head

1) Clean the Sensor Head:
NOTE: A CLEAN OPTIC IS ESSENTIAL FOR ACCURATE
READINGS.
i) Clean the optic surface on the Sensor Head with cotton swabs
dampened with either isopropyl alcohol or common glass cleaner.
ii) Dry the optic surface well with soft clean cloth.
iii) Check the optic surface for smears or water spots.
2) Install Sensor:
a) NPT Thread Sensor Head:
(1) To create a watertight seal, wrap the sensor threads with

Teflon tape.
NOTE: DO NOT USE PIPE DOPE BECAUSE IT MAY
ACCIDENTALLY CONTAMINATE THE OPTIC SURFACE.
(2) Insert the threaded end of the sensor into the mating female
fitting and tighten hand-tight. Use an appropriate wrench on
the flats on the rear of the Sensor Head to gently tighten the
Sensor Head only an additional quarter turn.
NOTE: DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN THE SENSOR HEAD AND
DO NOT TIGHTEN THE SENSOR HEAD USING THE
CONNECTOR ON THE BACK OF THE SENSOR.
b) Sanitary Tri-Clamp Sensor Head:
(1) Use a specially designed Sanitary Tri-Clamp gasket that is

chemically compatible with the fluid that you intend to test.
NOTE: CHECK GASKET FOR SIGNS OF WEAR AND/OR
REPLACE EACH TIME SENSOR HEAD IS REMOVED FOR
MAINTENANCE OR CLEANING.
(2) Apply ring clamp and secure it by turning the locking nut
hand-tight only. DO NOT USE TOOLS.
14
IV.) Connecting the Power/Relay Harness

1) Route, but do not connect, the Power/Relay Harness wires through a
protected pathway to a suitable external power supply and to any relays.
2) Before connecting any wires to the power supply:
a) Make certain that the power supply is turned OFF.
b) Make certain that Power/Relay Harness is NOT connected to the Control

Unit.
NOTE: MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE USER-SUPPLIED POWER SUPPLY
MATCHES THE VOLTAGE MARKED ON THE CONTROL UNIT (AND/OR THE
WIRING HARNESS) AND THAT IT CAN SUPPLY AT LEAST 0.5 AMPS. FAILURE
TO MATCH THE VOLTAGE MAY CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE
INSTRUMENT.
c) Connect all power and relay wires using commercially available waterproof
connectors or soldered together and properly protect from the elements.
d) Connect the wires as indicated in the diagram below:
PIN# Function Wire Color Note

1 Power Input (+) RED 1&2
2 Power Supply Ground (-) BLACK
3 Relay 1 (+) WHITE 3
4 Relay 3 (+) ORANGE 3
5 4 - 20 mA (+) YELLOW
6 4 - 20 mA (-) GREEN
7 Relay 2 (+) BLUE 3
8 Relay Ground (-) BROWN 3
Notes:
1. Power supply MUST BE 24 VDC or 12 VDC depending on how the
instrument was ordered. Power requirement will be marked on the Control
Unit and/or the Power/Relay Harness.
2. Pin One is marked with a molded dot on the plastic connector.
3. When energized (closed), the relay provides a 12 VDC, 450 mA, source.
15
V.) Initial System Test

1) With the Sensor Head Disconnected:
a) Plug the Power/Relay Harness into the Control Unit and tighten hand-
tight.
b) Turn the external power supply ON.
c) Push the POWER button to power-on the instrument.
d) The screen should illuminate and briefly display the words, MISCO VIP
Inline.
e) The display should then alternate between Wiring Open and Check
Sensor.
f) Turn the Control Unit OFF by pressing the POWER button.
VI.) Route & Connect the Sensor Cable

1) Route the Sensor Head Cable between the Control Unit and the Sensor Head
following these guidelines:
a) Avoid contact with surfaces hotter than 220F.
b) Adequately secure the harness to relieve strain on the end connectors.
c) Allow at least a 4 bending radius for the harness.
2) Connect the Sensor Head Cable to the Sensor Head and to the Control Unit.
WARNING: MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE CONTROL UNIT IS POWERED OFF
BEFORE SENSOR HEAD CABLE IS CONNECTED OR DISCONNECTED. DAMAGE
TO THE SENSOR HEAD CAN RESULT IF THE SYSTEM IS POWERED.
a) Tighten the harness connectors hand-tight only. DO NOT USE TOOLS.
16
VII.) Final System Test

1) Fill system with fluid of known type, strength, and temperature and circulate
past the Sensor Head.
2) Power the MISCO VIP Inline Refractometer ON and allow time for it to
equilibrate with the fluid.
3) Hold the TEMPERATURE button down and confirm that the displayed
temperature is the same as the fluid temperature at the Sensor Head.
4) Press the SELECT SCALE switch until the correct unit of measure is
displayed on the screen.
5) Check that the concentration displayed on the Control Unit display matches
the strength of the fluid as determined by using a MISCO Palm Abbe Digital
Refractometer, or other high precision refractometer.
a) Make sure to check the calibration of the reference refractometer

beforehand.
6) Run the MISCO VIP Inline Refractometer through the range of fluid
concentrations that the system is likely to see during normal operation.
a) Test all relays (if any) to see that they trip under the proper conditions. If
they do not trip as expected, check the wiring to make sure that they were
not misrouted.
b) Check the 4-20 mA output to ensure that it is properly supplying current.
17

System
Operation
Once properly installed and tested, the VIP Inline Refractometer
will provide continuous measurements and process control.
O
nce set up and running, the VIP Inline Refractometer should need very little
user intervention. Keep in mind that the sensor window will need to be
cleaned on a periodic basis. The interval between cleanings will be based on
your accuracy requirements, the type of fluid being tested, the cleanliness of
the fluid, and your experience with the system. See Section 6, for more information.
Operating the System

1. Turn the MISCO VIP Inline Refractometer ON using the POWER button on
the face of the Control Unit.
2. The system should briefly display MISCO VIP Inline and then begin to
display fluid readings using the unit of measure on the current scale.
a. If the sensor is in air, or if no fluid is in the pipe in front of the sensor

optic, the display will read AIR IN SYSTEM.
3. The Processing/Control Unit will start sending signals to the relays, and the 4-
20mA outputs, as soon as the system is powered on and a valid initial reading
is internally confirmed.
a. In the time between powering on and the initial reading confirmation,

the relay outputs will be turned off and the 4-20mA outputs will be set
to 4mA.
4. In the event that an error is detected by the internal self-test circuitry, the
system will show either an error code or an error message.
18
a. The fluid property or temperature information will not be displayed

when an error is detected.
b. All relay outputs will be turned off when an error is detected and the
4-20mA outputs will be set to 4mA.
NOTE: Errors in measuring fluid temperature (due to rapid fluid temperature changes, inadequate fluid
mixing, etc.) can lead to significant errors in reading the true fluid concentration of a fluid. Also, the addition
of significant amounts of contaminants to the fluid (salt, oils, surfactants, etc.) could also affect the
accuracy of readings.
19
Section
6
Component
Maintenance & Service
Properly maintaining the VIP Inline Refractometer components
will maximize the accuracy and system performance while
extending the useful life of the equipment.
T
he sensor window should be cleaned on a periodic basis to ensure optimal
performance and accuracy of the system. A 30-day cleaning interval is initially
recommended. This period can be increased or decreased depending on the
type of fluid, the application, and the users experience. The optic should also
be cleaned if the unit is displaying erratic or suspect readings.
Since there is no effective method to calibrate the VIP Inline Refractometer in

the field, it is recommended that the Control Unit and Sensor Head be
returned to MISCO annually for a factory calibration traceable to NIST. Please
call for details.
Before Removing Sensor Head

Prior to removing the Sensor Head after installation, several key safety precautions
should be followed to avoid personal injury or damage to property:
1) Wear protective eyewear and clothing adequate for protection from process
fluids.
2) Do not touch exposed Sensor Head with bare-hands; it may be hot and cause
burns.
3) Make certain that the flow past the Sensor Head has been stopped and/or
diverted.
4) Make certain that the pipe to which the Sensor Head is mounted is drained
and not under pressure.
20
5) Loosen any clamps slowly and cautiously and be prepared to retighten if

necessary.
6) Be prepared to catch spillage from the pipe.
7) Tag all diversion valves and switches so that flow is not inadvertently restarted
before Sensor Head is reinstalled.

event that the Sensor Head is sent away for maintenance.
Cleaning the Sensor Head Optic

1) Turn POWER to the unit OFF!
2) Shut off the flow of fluid past the sensor and drain all residual fluid from pipe.
3) Carefully remove the Sensor Head Cable and remove the Sensor Head from
the pipe fitting.
4) Thoroughly clean the face of the Sensor Head.
5) Clean the Sensor Head Optic using a Q-Tip swab dipped in alcohol or glass
cleaner.
6) Use a light to inspect the lens to assure that there is no streaking or residue on
the sensor window.
7) NPT Threaded Sensor Head
a) Remove old Teflon tape and clean the threads.
b) Rewrap the pipe thread with new Teflon tape.
i) DO NOT USE PIPE DOPE.
c) Replace the Sensor Head in the fitting carefully and hand-tighten.
d) After hand tightening, use the proper size wrench on the flats and tighten
only an addition quarter turn.
8) Sanitary Tri-Clamp Sensor Head
a) Check gasket and replace if needed.
9) Ensure that the drain is CLOSED.
21
10) Reopen valves to allow flow past sensor.
11) Turn Power to the unit ON.
WARNING: MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE CONTROL UNIT IS POWERED OFF BEFORE SENSOR HEAD
CABLE IS CONNECTED OR DISCONNECTED. DAMAGE TO THE SENSOR HEAD CAN RESULT IF THE
SYSTEM IS POWERED.

This manual is intended for use with the CHECKFIRE SC-N
Electric Detection and Actuation System.
Those who install, operate, inspect, or maintain this system
should read this entire manual. Specific sections will be of par-
ticular interest depending upon one's responsibilities.
As with all electro-mechanical equipment, the electric detection
and actuation system needs periodic care to provide maximum
assurance that it will operate effectively and safely. Inspection fre-
quency should be based on the requirements of the equipment on
which the system is installed and the environment in which the
equipment will operate. On equipment working 24 hours/day,
seven days/week, maintenance should be performed on the
detection and actuation system at 250, 500, and 1000-hour inter-
vals. On equipment that does not work continuously, maintenance
should be performed at least every six months.
The application and use of the CHECKFIRE SC-N system is lim-
ited to the application and uses described in this manual. For
other applications, contact your local Ansul distributor or the Ansul
technical representative in your area.
ANSUL is a registered trademark and CHECKFIRE is a trademark.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
For the protection of personnel and equipment being installed, this

manual contains WARNING and CAUTION statements which are
listed in the steps which they apply. These warnings and cautions
are also listed here so that the manual user can become familiar
with them before performing any procedures.
WARNING
In case of fire, evacuate area to lessen the risk of injury from

flames, heat, hazardous vapors, explosions, or other hazards
that may be created.
WARNING
The squib is an explosive device. Do not attach connector until

squib is installed in actuator body. If the squib is actuated out-
side of the actuator body, possible personal injury could result.
Manual pneumatic actuation will result in immediate system

discharge which may obscure vision. Make certain vehicle is
stopped safely before manually actuating the system. Manual
actuation will bypass all auxiliary shutdown and alarm func-
tions.
I
The fire suppression system could be accidentally actuated

causing the release of agent if the squib or nitrogen cartridge
is installed before the appropriate installation step is reached.
The control module could be damaged and the fire suppres-

sion system may not operate if the squib spring (shunt) is not
removed before installing the squib connector.
The fire suppression system will discharge dry chemical if the

cartridge is installed when operating the strike button. Do not
install cartridge unless puncture pin is fully retracted with ring
pin inserted and visual inspection seal installed.
Discharged lithium batteries may contain significant amounts

of unused energy and should be handled with care. Do not
compact for disposal. Before disposal, each battery must be
fully discharged and electrically isolated by enclosing in a plas-
tic bag and sealing the bag. Do not dispose of in fire. Check
applicable solid waste disposal regulations for proper disposal
of more than one battery. I

SQUIB
The squib assembly, Part No. 54919, is an electrically-actuated

component containing a small charge of powder. When the circuit ---"
is closed to the squib, a small internal wiring bridge heats up,
causing ignition of the squib. This generates pressure, which
forces the puncture pin of the actuator through the seal in the
nitrogen cartridge. See Figure 9.

PRESSURESWITCH- Weatherproof CHECK VALVE

The 1/4 in. check valve, Part No. 25627, is installed in the actua-
tion line between the manual/automatic actuator and the pneu-
matic actuator on the connected fire suppression system. This
check valve allows actuation pressure to flow to the fire suppres-
sion system, but does not allow pressure from other actuation
devices to back up into the manual/automatic actuator of the
CHECKFIRE SC-N system. See Figure 14.
Other actuation devices in the fire suppression system also
require check valves to be installed in the same fashion. This pre-
vents pressure from escaping through an actuator whose car-
tridge was inadvertently removed.

REMOTE HIGH LEVEL ALARM

The remote high level alarm, Part No. 79559, is intended for those
installations where the noise level or operating conditions may
prevent the operator from recognizing the control module alarm
condition.This device is connected through the alarm relay of the
control module to a separately fused power source. It is capable
of 102 decibels at 6 to 30 volts, 0.3 amp maximum at a tempera-
ture range of -40 F to 170 F (-40 C to 76.7 C). See Figure 15.

3. Do not install the wire within 12 in. (30 cm) of a temperature
source of 356 F (180 C) or greater (engine block, exhaust
manifold, turbochargers, brake grids, etc.).
4. Avoid routing detection wire directly across an opening.
Where possible, install detection wire above the hazard area
or around the perimeter of a hazard compartment to react to
escaping heat. Do not allow struts, frame members, etc. to act
as heat shields between the hazard and the detection wire.
5. Avoid areas where the detection wire may be damaged, such
as outside the vehicle, near moving parts, in areas where
debris may be thrown by wheels, or in the way of maintenance
personnel.
6. To reduce its accessibility to damage, use only as much
detection wire as is necessary to cover the hazard area.
Thermal Detector Selection and Placement

Thermal detectors are used when single point detection is
required. They are selected by temperature range relative to the
hazard temperature. The table below indicates the thermal detec-
tor rated operating temperature required according to the maxi-
mum hazard temperature.
Maximum
Rated Continuous
Operating Use

325 (163) 280 (137) Red 416219
360 (182) 312 (155) Red 416220
The placement of thermal detectors should be based on the fol-
lowing requirements:
1. They can be wired directly to the control module using
approved cable. Cable must have a temperature rating of
392 F (220 C) minimum, 16-18 gauge, two conductor with
drain, with an O.D. of 0.13 in. to 0.25 in. (0.3 to 0.6 cm). Again,
placement of the detectors should allow for incoming and out-
going wire connections. At the end of the detection circuit, an
end of line resistor assembly, Part No. 426461, must be
installed.
2. Secure the detector with the provided bracket and clamps.
Pressure Switch
Mount pressure switch in a location which is not subject to dam-

age. Switch must be mounted in an area in which it can be easily
reset after system actuation. See Section I, Components, for elec-
trical rating of switch contacts. When running the actuation hose
to the switch, make certain hose does not run through any areas
which could cause damage to the hose. Make certain hose is
securely supported and not subjected to vibration.

SAGE FLOW MONITOR INTRODUCTION
"-"_ PURPOSE
The Sage Flow Monitor measures pulses received from a flow sender installed in a pipe through
which deicing fluid is flowing. It converts those pulses into the volume of fluid dispensed. Some
models also measure voltage received from a temperature sensor, and convert the voltage to tem-
perature.
CAPABILITIES
The operator can assign a job number (or Aircraft Code) to a volume measurement and the Flow
Monitor will store information about the job for later review or printout.
Job Storage: The Flow Monitor will store in its memory the following job information.
job number deicing truck number operator number

start date enddate start time
end time volume of fluid pumped average Type 1 temperature
Job Records: If the Flow Monitor is equipped with a printer, the operator can print out
the above job information as a permanent record.
Number of Jobs: Depending on the model, the Flow Monitor can store in its memory from
1 to 100 jobs for review or printout at any time in the future.
_,._ Senders/Sensors: Depending on the model, the Flow Monitor can monitor one or two flow
senders (Type 1, Type 2, or Type 4 fluid) and an RTD temperature sensor. It can calibrate
each sender and sensor, and store a correction factor for each unit in its memory.
Password Protection: The Flow Monitor has two levels of password protection, one for an
operator and one for a supervisor. It will only accept certain information after a valid
password has been entered. The parameters that may be altered by the user depends on the
level of password protection.
OPERATOR INTERFACE
The operator enters information and commands using a keypad, receives messages on a display, and
if the Flow Monitor is equipped with a printer, receives printed copies of job histories.
Display: The display provides the user with all of the information needed to operate the
Flow Monitor, and with information about the current and past jobs.
Keyboard: The telephone-style keypad allows the the operator to send commands to the
Flow Monitor and to enter information into the Flow Monitor's memory.
Printer: The printer can print a permanent record of any job or range of jobs stored in the
Flow Monitor's memory.
MAINTENANCE
",-,." Because the Flow Monitor is a solid state device, no maintenance is required except for replacement
of the printer paper and ribbon, and the replacement of the battery every 3 to 5 years.
I-1
SAGE FLOW MONITOR INSTALLATION
1. INSTALLATION
Installation consists of connecting the Flow Monitor to a power source, connecting the senders and
sensor to the Flow Monitor, mounting the Flow Monitor, testing the unit for proper operation after
it has been installed, and performing an initial setup.
1.1 CONNECTING THE FLOW MONITOR TO A POWER SUPPLY.

Some Flow Monitors come with a power switch installed on the front panel, others do not have a
power switch. Refer to the proper procedure below.
1.1.1 Flow Monitors with a power switch

1.1.2 Flow Monitors without a power switch
1.1.1 Connecting Power to a Flow Monitor that has a Power Switch (See Figure 1-1).
The Flow Monitor operates on 12 volts dc, and should be connected to the battery of the deicing
truck in which the Flow Monitor will be installed.
1. Position the Flow Monitor power switch to OFF.
NOTES
The power cable referred to in the next step is supplied with the Flow Monitor. It is
a 10 foot cable with a connector at one end. The positive wire in the cable has red
insulation; the negative wire has black insulation.
If the ignition switch is not bypassed in the following step, the Flow Monitor will
not have power when the truck's ignition is turned off.
2. Connect the red wire of the power cable to the positive side of the truck battery, at a point
before the ignition switch.
3. Connect the black wire of the power cable to the truck's ground.
CAUTION
Failure to verify the correct polarity in the next step can result in damage to the
Flow Monitor.
4. Using a multimeter, verify that 12 volts dc appears across the connector terminals at the end of
the power cable, and that the polarity is correct.
5. Attach the female connector on the end of the power cable to the male connector at the rear of
the Flow Monitor (see Figure 1-3).
1-1
1.1.2 Connecting Power to a Flow Monitor that has No Power Switch (See Figure 1-2).
The Flow Monitor operates on 12 volts dc, and should be connected to a power source in the
deicing truck in which the Flow Monitor will be installed.
NOTES
The power cable referred to in the next step is supplied with the Flow Monitor. It
has a connector at one end. The positive wire in the cable has red insulation; the
negative wire has brown insulation.
The connector on the power cable mates with a connector on a power cord that
extends from a hole in the Flow Monitor.
If the Flow Monitor is side-mounted, the power cord that extends from the Flow
Monitor needs to pass through a hole in the mounting surface in order to mate with
the power cable. It will be necessary to drill a hole in the mounting surface large
enough for the cable and connector to pass through.
1. If a mounting hole is required, see paragraph 1.3. You will have to attach the Flow Monitor to the
mounting surface before you connect it to the power source.
NOTE
In the next step, if there is no power source assigned for the Flow Monitor, then use
the truck's battery. If the truck battery is used, the Flow Monitor will be on when-
ever the truck's ignition is turned on.
2. Connect the red wire of the power cable to the positive side of the power supply.
a. If the truck battery is being used, connect the cable to a point after the ignition switch,
so that power is applied to the Flow Meter only when the truck's ignition is turned on.
3. Connect the brown wire of the power cable to the negative side of the power supply.
CAUTION
Failure to verify the correct polarity in the next step can result in damage to the
Flow Monitor.
4. Using a multimeter, verify that 12 volts dc appears across the connector terminals at the end of
the power cable, and that the polarity is correct.
5. Attach the connector on the end of the power cable to the connector at the end of the power
cord that extends from the side of the Flow Monitor. (see Figure 1-2).
a. If the Flow Monitor is side mounted, push the power cord through the hole in the mount-
ing surface before you connect the power cable to the power cord.

Depending on the Flow Monitor model, there may be more than one connector at the
rear of the Flow Monitor. The Flow Monitor may have a connector for one or two
flow senders. Some Flow Monitors have a connector for a temperature sensor.
Although Figure 1-3 shows a connector for power, not all Flow Monitors will have
this connector.
The connector shells of the flow senders and the temperature sensor are all the same.
However, each type has a different pin configuration as noted below.
1. While viewing the Flow Monitor from the rear, attach the male connector on the end of each
sender/sensor cable to the mating female connector at the rear of the Flow Monitor as follows:
a. Attach the Type 1 Fluid Flow Sender (3 pins) to the bottom left connector.
b. Attach the Type 2 or Type 4 Fluid Flow Sender (5 pins) to the bottom right connector.
c. Attach the RTD Temperature Sensor (4 pins) to the top right connector.

NOTE
If a Flow Monitor can store only one job, it stores that job in a memory location that
will be written over by the next job. Therefore it only stores the last job entered.
If a Flow Monitor can store more than one job (n jobs) it will store the first n jobs
permanently. When permanent memory is filled up, the job history can be reviewed,
and printed out if necessary, and then memory can be cleared. If a new job is started
when memory is full, the stored jobs will not be affected, but the next job will be
stored in a memory location that will not be protected. Every time a new job is
entered it will overwrite the previous job.
2.2.1 Mode 1 Start New Job

This mode records the information about a deicing job. It requires the operator to enter his identifi-
cation number (operator code), and the aircraft identification number (aircraft code). The job starts
as soon as the operator enters the aircraft code. While the job is in progress, the Flow Monitor
records the gallons of fluid dispensed for each fluid sender. The operator must end the job before
before any other job can be started.
NOTES
While the job is in progress, the operator can view the flow rates for each fluid
sender.
Depending on the Flow Monitor model, it can store in its memory from 1 to 100
separate jobs. The Flow Monitor automatically assigns each job an internal, sequen-
tial number (event number).
As soon as an aircraft code is entered, the Flow Monitor will start recording the job.
No other jobs may be started until the current job is ended. There is no way to get
back to the main menu until the operator terminates the current job.
If the Flow Monitor loses power when a job is in progress, a message similar to the
following will be displayed when power is restored, and the job will be automati-
cally terminated.
!!Warning!!
Power Lost during deicing event# 4
Job # AA 12
1. Operator Code. The operator must enter a code that is used to identify the operator who is
running the job.
NOTE
The code is not the same as a password. It is any number, from 1 to 6 digits long.
_,_ The default value is 0, if no number is entered and the _] key is pressed, the Flow
Monitor will use 0 as the operator code for this job.
2-3
a. Enter the desired number (from 1 to 6 digits), and press the _ key.
NOTE
After you enter the operator code, you will be asked to enter the aircraft code. If you
wish to cancel the new job, you can do so before you enter the aircraft code. If you
enter the aircraft code, the job will start automatically.
b. If you wish to cancel the new job, Press the [-_ key until you return to the time and date
display, otherwise continue with the following step.
2. Aircraft Code/Job Number. The aircraft code is an alpha-numeric code that identifies the
aircraft that is being deiced. The Flow Monitor asks the operator to enter an aircraft code when
starting a new job. When the job is reviewed or printed, the Flow Monitor refers to the aircraft
code as the job number.
a. The code is an alphanumeric code that must be 6 characters long. Enter it as follows:
1) Enter a number or letter or a space by pressing the appropriate key.
If the character is a number, press the desired key.
If the character is a letter, hold down the shift key and press the appropriate key
until the desired letter appears.
If the character is a space, press the [-_ key.
2) When the correct character is displayed, press the _ key.
3) Repeat step 1) and 2) until all 6 characters are entered.
b. When the six character code is entered, press the _ key and the Flow Monitor will
accept it. Once an aircraft code is accepted the Flow Monitor will start the job record. No
other jobs may be started until the current job is ended.
3. End Job. Selecting this display gives the option to end the current job, but it does not actually
end the job, it brings up a submenu that gives the option to end the job or cancel the submenu.
Any fluid being pumped while the submenu is displayed will be recorded as part of the job.
2.2.2 Mode 2 View Flow rates

As long as power is applied to the Flow Monitor, it records the volume and rate of fluid being
pumped. If a job is in progress, the operator can view the the fluid flow rates while in the Start
New Job mode.
2-4
If the operator has not started a job, but wishes to monitor fluid being pumped for some other
purpose, this mode allows the operator to view the flow rates of the fluid currently being pumped.
2.2.3 Mode 3 Review Jobs

This mode allows the operator to review any of the jobs in memory. The Display selects the latest
event stored in memory and shows the Flow Monitor's event number and the job number. The
operator can scroll through the events/jobs to find the one he wishes to review.
2.2.4 Mode 4 View Total Volume

This mode allows the operator to review the total volume of fluid pumped for each sensor since the
Flow Monitor's memory was last cleared. This value includes all fluid pumped while power was
applied to the Flow Monitor, even if there was no job in progress.
NOTE
The View Total Volume menu shows the total amount of fluid dispensed, for each
sender, since a certain date and time. That date and time is what the Flow Monitor
was set to when memory was last cleared. Therefore, if the Flow Monitor was show-
ing an incorrect date or time the last time that jobs in memory were cleared, the
Flow Monitor will report the incorrect date or time when it displays total volume
dispensed, even if you later change the date or time to the correct values using the
Reset Time menu and the Reset Date menu.
2.2.5 Mode 5 View Time & Date

This mode shows the current date and time. It is the default mode when the Flow Monitor is
turned on.
2.2.6 Mode 6 Printer Test

This mode provides two tests of the printer. It prints a demo message (see figure 1-8), and it per-
forms a line feed, which feeds the paper about 1/8 inch.
2.2.7 Mode 7 Print Options

This mode allows the operator to determine which jobs should be printed.
NOTES
The printer's buffer can only handle a certain amount of data, so the Flow Monitor
will break a large print job up into 25 jobs at a time.
You need to be sure that there is enough printer paper to print the jobs. Allow about
1.75 inches per job.
If all of the jobs are printed, the printout will also show the total volume pumped
for each sender for all of the jobs, and also the total volume.
2-5
2.2.8 Mode 8 Unit Mod & S/N

This mode displays the Flow Monitor's Model Number, Serial Number, and Release Number. If the
Flow Monitor has a printer, this same information is printed as part of the Demo Message in Mode
6, Printer Test.
2.2.9 Mode 9 Setup Menu

This mode cannot be entered without a password.
There are seven submodes associated with this mode.

Submode Paragraph
Reset Time Menu 2.2.9.1
Reset Date Menu 2.2.9.2

2.2.9.3. Clear Job History Menu

This procedure clears all jobs in memory, including data that may have been entered at the factory.
Before you perform this procedure, you should verify that all jobs currently in memory are no
longer needed. Refer to paragraph 1.5.3 for detailed instructions on performing this procedure.
If the Flow Monitor has a printer, you can print out a record of all jobs in history, or any jobs that
you wish to save as a permanent record.
NOTES
When you clear the job memory with this procedure, the Flow Monitor will save the
date and time that the Flow Monitor is currently set to, and will display that date
and time whenever the View Total Volume menu shows the total volume dis-
pensed.
The View Total Volume menu will always show the date and time that existed
when the job history memory was cleared, even if the time and date are later reset
using the Reset Time menu and the Reset Date menu.
2.2.9.4 Truck ID # Menu

The Flow Monitor is normally installed in a truck. This procedure asks for a Deicer number. The
Truck ID number that you enter will be printed out as the Deicer number on the first line of every
job printout. If several jobs are printed at once, the deicer number will be printed once, followed
by all of the jobs.
2.2.9.5 Setup #2 Menu

This Menu requires the Level 2 password. If you do not know the Level 2 password consult an
authorized person, usually the supervisor, who can use the Level 2 password to enter this menu
and perform the desired procedures.
If your organization has lost the Level 2 password, have an authorized person contact Sage Design
Corporation for assistance.
2.2.9.5.1 Units.
This menu provitl_s the option to display all flow measurements in U.S. gallons or in liters.
2.2.9.5.2 Date Format.

This menu provit_es the option to display the date in mm/yy/dd format or in dd/mm/yy format.
2.2.9.5.3 Calibrate Type I(or Type 2 or Type 4).

This procedure:allows the operator to calibrate a flow sender by either entering a measured vol-
ume, a known_ev rate, or a correction factor.
If the deicer can_ump a known volume of fluid (for example by filling a container with a known
capacity) then fie=operator can enter the known volume into the Flow Monitor's memory. The Flow
2-7
_ Monitor will receive a volume measurement from the sender, will compare it to the value entered
by the operator, and will compute, and store in its memory, a correction factor, called the K-Factor.
This K-Factor should be recorded in case it needs to be reentered.
Similarly, if the deicer can pump fluid at a known flow rate, the operator can enter that flow rate
and the Flow Monitor will compare the measured flow rate with the value entered by the operator
and will compte the K-Factor.
If the operator knows the K-Factor for the sender, because it has been recorded from a previous
calibration based on known volume or known flow rate, then the operator only needs to enter the
K-Factor to complete the calibration. This would be useful if, for example, the Flow Monitor used
for the deicer needs to be repaired, and is replaced by another Flow Monitor. Since the calibration
is for the sender and not the Flow Monitor, the operator need only enter the K-factor into the new
Flow Monitor's memory.
2.2.9.5.4 Reset to Defaults.

This menu resets the Flow Monitor to factory defaults: units are set to U.S. gallons, date format set
to mm/dd/yy, and sender K-Factors may be reset. If this happens, the correct K-Factors, if known
from a previous calibration, may be entered using the Calibrate Mode.
2.2.9.6 Password Select Menu

This procedure allows the person who knows the Level 2 password (usually the supervisor) to
change the Level 2 password. If the password has been lost, have the supervisor contact SAGE
Design Corp for assistance.
2.2.2.9.7 Return to Main Menu

This menu will return you to the main menu.
2.2.10 Mode 0 Password Select

This procedure allows the person who knows the Level 1 password (usually the operator) to change
the Level 1 password. If the password has been lost, have the supervisor contact SAGE Design
Corp for assistance.

SAGE FLOW MONITOR MAINTENANCE
3. MAINTENANCE
The only mainenance required is to replace consumable printer supplies and to replace the memory
backup battery.
3. I BATTERY REPLACEMENT
The battery should be replaced every three to five years. If the battery fails, then all of the data
stored in memory will be lost. Therefore, it is recommended that the battery be replaced after
approximately three years after it has been installed in the Flow Monitor (or three years after the
Flow Monitor is received from the factory).
The battery must not be replaced except when authorized by the supervisor. See the supervisor for
the battery replacement procedure.
3.2 PRINTER SUPPLIES

The printer paper and printer ribbon must be replaced as they are used up. To gain access to these
supplies, you must remove the printer cover. The following step explains how to remove and
replace the printer cover.
1. Remove the printer cover as follows (See Figure 3-1)
_ a. Place the thumb of each hand on the front surface of the printer cover, and the
remaining fingers of each hand on each side of the cover.
b. Press the fingers firmly against the sides of the cover, and pull straight down. The
cover should slide down about 0.5 inch.
Figure 3-1 Printer Cover in Down Position
3-1
c. Lift the cover straight out from the Flow Monitor, towards you.
d. To replace the cover:
1) Press the Paper Feed button until at least 1.5 inches of paper protrudes past the
ribbon.
2) Slip the paper through the slot in the cover, underneath the paper cutter.
3) While holding the cover as before, push it straight in with the top about 1.5"
below the top of the opening for the printer.
4) Wiggle the cover until it drops flush against the mounting surface, then push it
straight up until it clicks into place.
2. Replace the Ribbon as follows (See Figre 3-2):
Ribbon
Holder
Figure 3-2 Printer with cover removed

a. Press on the Ribbon Holder at the point shown in Figure 3-2. It will pop out.
NOTE
If you are going to replace the paper at this time, go to step 3 and return here after a
new roll of paper has been installed.
b. Hold the new Ribbon Holder horizontally so that it can be slipped into position,
with the paper between the ribbon and the top of the plastic Ribbon Holder.
3-2
_ c. Position the new Ribbon Holder in its cavity and snap it into place.
d. Replace the printer cover.
3. Replace The Paper as Follows (See Figure 3-3).
The printer accepts standard printer paper (2.25 inches wide), however the diameter
of the paper rolls normally available is too large to fit in the printer. SAGE provides
rolls that are about 1.5 inches in diameter.
Paper feeds up through slot J
'.
Spindle inserted in paper roll

with "T" on the left side
Figure 3-3 Paper Roll being installed in Printer
a. Remove the Ribbon Holder (see step 2a.).
b. Place your right thumb on the spindle on the left side of the paper roll and the
remaining fingers on the right side of the Flow Montitor.
c. Press with the thumb and pull out. The Paper Roll should pivot outward.
d. Remove the Paper Roll, and remove the spindle.
e. Insert the spindle into the core of a fresh roll of paper, so that the "T" of the spindle
is on the left and the paper unwinds from the back of the roll.
3-3
Note
With the Ribbon Holder removed, you will see a black plastic piece mounted to a
metal piece. The paper slot is between these two pieces and the paper feeds up from
the bottom.
f. Hold the paper roll and spindle with one hand, and locate the slot that the paper
feeds through.
g. Push the paper into the slot, and then press the paper feed key. If enough paper is in
the slot, it will catch and the paper feed will pull it through the slot and out the top.
h. Place the right side of the spindle into its slot at the right side of the printer hous-
ing. You can locate the slot by noting the two projections that bracket a tab-shaped
object. The slot for the spindle is behind the tab.
i. Push the other side of the spindle into its slot.
j. Replace the Ribbon Holder (step 2b).
_,j k. Replace the Printer Cover (step 1.d.)
