CD-20SFA Sample Probe Controller
Basic CD-20SFA Check-Out
1. Disconnect the probe from the CD-20SFA.
2. Disconnect the input power from the CD-20SFA.
3. Connect a push-button switch to 1TB-5 and 1TB-6 on the control card.
4. Reconnect input power to the CD-20SFA.
5. Activate the switch and verify the CD-20SFA output shaft rotates 180 degrees with each pulse. Wait for
the shaft to stop rotating before repeating the switch activation.
Note—Any input pulses that occur when the CD-20SFA is rotating are disregarded by the control logic.
6. Connect the multimeter to 1TB-3 and 1TB-4 on the control card.
7. Wait for the congured alarm period to expire (factory default period is 5 seconds) and verify that the
alarm relay contact closes.
8. Activate the push-button switch to send a pulse and verify that the alarm relay contact opens.
9. Repeat steps 7 and 8 as required.
Sample Probe and CD-20SFA Check-Out
1. Disconnect input power from the CD-20SFA. The push-button switch should still be connected to 1TB-5
and 1TB-6.
2. Mount the CD-20SFA to the sample probe and hand-tighten the DC-2 coupling.
3. Verify that the product line is full and pressurized.
4. Reconnect input power to the CD-20SFA.
5. Hold a 100-ml graduated beaker (or other applicable measuring device) under the probe’s discharge.
6. Activate the switch repeatedly to collect 10 samples, 1.5 cc each.
Motor Control Assembly
The motor control assembly (Figure 1.2, page 6) consists of a control card and power board mounted to a
ring, which in turn, is mounted to the back of the CD-20A gear motor.
Control Card Functions
The CD20-SFA control card performs the following functions:
• Components C7, R12, CR5, and a U4 gate provide a 100-msec power-up reset.
• An alarm delay timer circuit is implemented with U3, C6, C10, R4, R1 and a U4 gate. This circuit is reset
every time a sample is taken and on initial power-up. U3 counts oscillator pulses and de-energizes relay
1CR after counting 2048 clock pulses from U4 pin 6.
• An input lter circuit connected to 1TB-5 buffers incoming pulses from an external ow measuring de-
vice. The lter has a 2msec time constant, and the input pulse duration must be at least 5 msec to assure a
start pulse output.
