MASS-tron II/CEM SECTION 1 – GENERAL INFORMATION

1 – GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 – DESCRIPTION
The MASS-tron II/CEM is an ultra-low differential pressure "smart" massflow transmitter designed to convert the low
magnitude pressure signals generated by airflow probes, plus process temperature and static pressure inputs into
analog output signals of mass flow, temperature, pressure, and transmitter drift. Each MASS-tron II/CEM is equipped
with numerous standard features: A multi-line LCD used during configuration/calibration and for display of process;
AUTO-zero for elimination of transmitter zero error; AUTO-cal to measure transmitter zero and span drift; user selectable
primary signal noise filter, input power isolation; capability of 10:1 flow or 100:1 pressure turndown; NEMA 1 enclosure,
and a long list of construction options.
1.2 – THEORY OF OPERATION
High and low pressure signals generated by airflow stations or probes act upon opposite sides of a flexible diaphragm
within the transducer. The differential between the two pressure signals displaces the diaphragm; the magnitude of the
displacement being measured creates an electrical DC output from the transducer. Additional analog signals of process
temperature (via external temperature input) and process static pressure (via internal absolute pressure transmitter)
are made available. After being multiplexed and undergoing A/D conversion, the resulting digital signals representing
process velocity pressure, temperature and static pressure can be manipulated within the microprocessor: square
rooted; density compensated for air temperature and air pressure correction; scaled for units of measure and area for
process outputs; filtered and scaled for local data display and utilized in performing a Special Function (see Section 3
– Features). The built-in microprocessor runs the program that provides the following basic functions: Timing, logic,
mathematical operations, analog input signal multiplexing, analog input/output calibration, digital input (contact closure)
detection, output relay operation, automatic zeroing valve operation, Operator Setup menu system, display (LCD)
indication, and individual LED indication.

MASS-tron II/CEM SECTION 3 – FEATURES

3 – FEATURES

3.1 – OPERATOR SETUP MENU

The microprocessor program contains a Operator Setup menu system for setting user selectable parameters. Four
pushbuttons, ESC, UP, DN, ENT, allow the user access to the menu for setting configuration modes and values. Refer
to the Configuration Programming (Section 5.6) instructions for operation details. Also contained in the Operator Setup
menu is all input and output calibration. The calibration method is completely digital and contains no analog potentiometer
adjustments which are susceptible to drift. Non-volatile memory is used for storing all setup parameters and calibration
values, and will remain unchanged after set, even when power to the unit is off.

3.2 – 40CFR75 COMPLIANT

The MASS-tron II/CEM is designed to provide all functions and meet all data reporting requirements specified under
40CFR75: signals (4-20mADC standard; 0-5V or 0-10V optional) of mass flow and temperature; daily AUTO-cal reporting
of transmitter zero and span drift; daily AUTO-purge of flow sensors; AUTO-purge in progress acknowledgment; and
AUTO-cal in progress acknowledgment. AUTO-cal and AUTO-purge cycles can be internally timed or externally activated,
with selection via Operator set-up menu.

3.3 – AIR DENSITY CORRECTION

The MASS-tron II/CEM transmitter is capable of performing both process temperature and process static pressure
correction. Temperature input is an analog signal from a remote temperature device; non-linear temperature inputs can
be linearized by the microprocessor. Process static pressure is measured by means of an internal absolute pressure
transmitter connected to the transmitter static pressure signal input.

3.4 – TRANSMITTER HOLD

Certain operations performed by the microprocessor place the unit into a Hold mode. This occurs when the Operator
Setup menu system is activated, when an AUTO-zero is performed, when an AUTO-cal is performed, or when an AUTO-
purge cycle is in progress. When in Hold, all Normal mode processing is halted and outputs are held at their last value
prior to Hold. Normal operation is indicated by the "CPU Activated" LED flashing at a rate of four times per second. A
Hold mode is indicated by the "CPU Activated" LED flashing at a rate of one flash per second.

3.5 – AUTOMATIC ZEROING

At periodic intervals the microprocessor will automatically execute an AUTO-zero cycle consisting of the following
sequence: The transmitter output and display signals are put on Hold; a valve is activated which disconnects the
process high pressure from the high port of the transducer and connects the process static pressure to both sides of
the transducer, creating a true zero differential pressure; after a brief stabilization period, the transducer zero offset
signal is measured and stored in memory; the valve is deactivated and after a brief period for process signal stabilization,
the Hold is released and Normal process measurement resumes. During Normal operation, the zero offset value stored
in memory is subtracted from subsequent transducer readings until the next AUTO-zero cycle occurs and repeats the
process. AUTO-zero On/Off and Interval are available and configurable using the Operator Setup menu.

3.6 – AUTO-purge MANAGEMENT

For "dirty process air" applications requiring the use of an Air Monitor AUTO-purge system, the MASS-tron II/CEM
along with a "smart" relay provides the capabilities of establishing purge frequency and duration, while also giving the
user a choice of either internally timed cycle frequency or externally triggered purge initiation. During the purge cycle
all transmitter outputs are maintained at their last value prior to the start of the purge cycle.

Air Monitor Corporation 3 MASS-tron II/CEM - IO&M Manual


116-004-94.P65 (8-31-10)
MASS-tron II/CEM SECTION 3 – FEATURES

3.7 – ALARM

The MASS-tron II/CEM Alarm Option provides the means for having the process signal compared to a user selectable
Low Flow alarm point and automatically activates a Form C relay to generate a dry contact alarm signal. Alarm On/Off,
Setpoint, Dead Band, and Delay are configurable via the Operator Setup menu. Alarm Setpoint can be displayed on
during Normal operating mode. An Alarm Delay is available, if implemented (any time setting greater than zero), any
condition that would normally cause an alarm, triggers the delay timer first. If the alarm condition still exists after the
delay times out, then the alarm relay is activated.

3.8 – DATA DISPLAY

The integral display is a graphical backlit LCD. It is capable of displaying the transmitter flow, process temperature and
static pressure signals in Engineering units, plus other signals of alarm or AUTO-cal functions. It can also display a
user settable I.D. number using any combination of standard ASCII characters. It is also used by the Operator Setup
menu for displaying the menu parameters and values. Configuring the display for Normal operation is done using the
Operator Setup menu.

3.9 – K-FACTOR

The MASS-tron II/CEM is equipped with a K-Factor feature which allows for the introduction of a bias and/or gain factor
into the transmitter's flow calculations. The K-Factor feature is intended to be used in two types of applications:

1. To adjust for flow measurement error as a result of highly distorted airflow induced by upstream or downstream flow
disturbances.
2. To adjust the transmitter's output to bring it into close correlation with field measured flow data.

The K-Factor gain and bias values can be entered directly or the MASS-tron II/CEM can calculate these values based
on measured and reference values from a 1 or 3 point airflow traverse.

3.10 – FLOW/DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE CALCULATOR

The MASS-tron II/CEM is equipped with an integral calculator feature that allows the user to determine the maximum
flow or differential pressure from the appropriate variables. This feature allows the user to determine input or output
values at various points of the process or new values if the process parameters have changed. Also, the calculator can
be used to implement a single-point density compensation for operating temperature and/or absolute pressure.

3.11 – NETWORK (option)

The MASS-tron II can be provided with optional ModBus TCP/IP over Ethernet for serial data communication.

3.12 – MULTIPLE OPERATING POWER SELECTIONS

The MASS-tron II/CEM can be powered by 24VAC or 24VDC, or 120VAC with optional transformer.

3.13 – ENCLOSURE

The MASS-tron II/CEM transmitter is furnished in a NEMA 1 aluminum enclosure with external, unitary plug in terminal
strips for ease of installation and removal. An optional conduit connection box is available for applications requiring
enclosed field wiring.

116-004-94.P65 (8-31-10)
MASS-tron II/CEM SECTION 4 – INSTALLATION

4.4 – PROCESS CONNECTIONS

The MASS-tron II/CEM comes standard with brass 1/8" FPT connections (or special fittings if ordered). To these
connections the customer can install fittings required for the type of tube/pipe used to connect to process sensor (i.e.
flow station, flow probe, static pressure sensors).

When connecting the MASS-tron II/CEM to an airflow measuring device, connections must be completed as follows:

– High Port on MASS-tron II/CEM connects to Total Pressure from airflow measuring device.
– Low Port on MASS-tron II/CEM connects to Static Pressure from airflow measuring devices.

Although any size of tube/pipe can be used, the response time of the MASS-tron II/CEM to process change may
increase if there is a increase in tube/pipe size or an increase in tube/pipe length.

CAUTION

– Selected fittings should be compatible with the brass 1/8" FPT bulkhead connection, and installed using an
appropriate thread lubricant/sealant.

– When signal fittings are added or removed, use a 9/16 wrench to prevent the 1/8" FPT bulkhead fitting from
turning.

– It is extremely important that no pressure be present in signal tubing at the time of installation, and the
orientation of high and low pressure signal lines is maintained between the source and the MASS-tron II/CEM.

Up Information Sheet). The availability of inputs and outputs depends on options purchased.

To change the signal type of an available input or output, remove all jumpers from the present signal type pins and install
them on the desired signal type pins.

Inputs have a single jumper covering two pins, and outputs have two jumpers covering four pins.

4.7 – DISPLAY CONTRAST ADJUSTMENT

To compensate for different ambient lighting conditions and viewing angles, the MASS-tron II/CEM display's contrast
can be adjusted for optimum visibility.

Contrast is adjusted using potentiometer R1 on CPU board (see Figure 5.1). To gain access to R1:
• Remove the two 10-32 screws from front cover and pull the cover straight up and to the right.
• Turn R1 clockwise to increase contrast (darken characters relative to background) and counterclockwise to decrease
contrast.

5.1 – INTRODUCTION

The MASS-tron II/CEM has been configured and calibrated at the Factory to customer specified parameters which are
recorded on the MASS-tron II/CEM Factory Set-Up Information Sheet, included with the unit. Review this information
and verify that the MASS-tron II/CEM setup is correct for your applications. If any problems or discrepancies are
detected, contact Air Monitor's Customer Service Department at 1-800-AIRFLOW prior to proceeding.

5.2 – START-UP

1. After Installation has been verified in accordance with Section 4, turn power switch located at the lower left side to
the ON position (see Figure 4.1).

2. Display will briefly indicate:

MASS-tron II/CEM
Thanks for Choosing
AIR MONITOR
with the progressing from left to right.

Followed by:

MASS-tron II
Performing Auto-Zero

After approximately 10 seconds, and then return to Normal display mode, and green LED indicating "CPU Activated"
will flash rapidly (4 times per second). This is Normal operation mode and no further user interface is required. If,
however, user would like to verify configuration or change user controlled parameters, continue to Section 5.4
entitled "CONFIGURATION".

5.3 – NORMAL OPERATION

Under Normal operation the MASS-tron II/CEM's display will continuously indicate current process variables and other
parameters selected.

AUTO-zero. At periodical intervals* (see Factory Set-Up Information Sheet) the AUTO-zero cycle will be initiated.
When this occurs, the display will be frozen and all outputs will remain constant. During this cycle the "AUTO-zero in
Progress" LED will be lit.

This cycle will not occur if AUTO-zero has been turned OFF in configuration programming (see Section 5.10).

The AUTO-zero cycle can be manually activated by user (if ON in configuration programming) by simultaneously
pressing ESC and UP, then scrolling until Perform AUTO-zero is displayed, then press ENT.

If "AUTO-zero In Progress" LED remains on, continuously or flashes rapidly, refer to Section 8 - Troubleshooting for the
required action.

Air Monitor Corporation 12 MASS-tron II/CEM - IO&M Manual


116-004-94.P65 (8-31-10)
MASS-tron II/CEM SECTION 5 – OPERATION

5.3 – NORMAL OPERATION (con't)

AUTO-purge. AUTO-purge cycle will be activated at periodic intervals determined by the "smart" relay programming.
When activated, display will be frozen and all outputs will remain constant. During this cycle, the "AUTO-purge In
Progress" LED will remain lit. Length of cycle depends on purge duration and after-purge duration (see Factory Set-Up
Information Sheet).

This cycle will not occur if AUTO-purge has been turned OFF in configuration programming (see Section 5.11).

AUTO-cal. Every 24 hours* or when externally activated, the AUTO-cal cycle will be initiated. When this occurs, the
display will be frozen and all outputs will remain constant (Note: Transmitter/AUTO-cal Reporting Output 1 will vary
during the reporting phase of the AUTO-cal cycle. See Section 5.12 for more specific details).

During the AUTO-cal cycle, the MASS-tron II/CEM will first perform an AUTO-zero cycle which creates a zero differential
pressure across the transducer. Any zero signal error is measured and stored.

Upon completion of the AUTO-zero cycle, the MASS-tron II/CEM performs an AUTO-span cycle which creates a
percent (see Factory Set-Up Information Sheet) of full scale differential pressure across the transducer. Any span
signal error is measured and stored.

The remainder of the AUTO-cal cycle consists of: Start Report Delay; Zero Report Duration, In Between Report
Duration; and Span Report Duration – all of which have user selectable durations.

During the AUTO-cal cycle, the "AUTO-cal In Progress" LED will be lit.

The AUTO-cal cycle can be manually activated by user by simultaneously pressing ESC and UP, then scrolling until
Perform Auto-Calib. is displayed, then press ENT.

If the "AUTO-cal In Progress" LED remains lit after completion of the AUTO-cal cycle, the error between the input
reference pressure and the reference value (see Section 5.15) is 3% to 5%. If the LED flashes rapidly, the error is
greater than 5%. Refer to Section 8 – Troubleshooting for the required action.

Additionally, if the "AUTO-zero In Progress" LED remains lit or flashes rapidly after completion of the AUTO-cal cycle
(see AUTO-zero above for meaning) refer to Section 8 – Troubleshooting for the required action.

ALARMS. If alarm has been turned on in Configuration Programming and process conditions exist to activate the
alarm, the alarm relay will be energized (after set delay time).

*Note:

The interval clock for AUTO-zero, AUTO-purge, and AUTO-cal cycles is initiated when the MASS-tron II/CEM's power
switch is turned on. The time intervals (preset in Operator Set-Up menu) will then start their timing sequence.

To reset the interval clock, turn power off for a minimum of 10 seconds, then turn power back on. Interval clock will then
initiate at time zero.

Changing the interval selection in Operator Setup does not reset time clock.
