NOTE: Observe the following safety guidelines before installing or removing your CLASSIC switch/transmitter:
The CLASSIC sensor is marked with the universal symbol . this surface should be flat up and level in a horizontal flow application only. refer to Figures 1 and 2 for flow and level applications; this surface of the hex should be parallel to the direction of change in the process.
To configure or adjust the CLASSIC, perform the steps in the order indicated by 1 - 4
- After each step Press SET to continue or RUN to exit
* If Relay 2 is not being used it is useful to confiure the settings for Relay 2 exactly the same as Relay 1.

Installation, connection and maintenance must be carried out by expert technicians who have read these operating instructions. These operating instructions include all-important information required for the installation and operation of this product. They supplement the full Product Manual, and the relevant national regulations with respect to the equipment as well as with the maintenance activities. |
Either AC or DC voltage can be used to power the CLASSIC:

Never power on the circuits in a potentially explosive area without first installing the enclosure cover. Always lock the cover in place. This may be required by your local safety or electrical code. |
RELAY OUTPUTS The CLASSIC features two independent set points each with its own mechanical relay for output. The connections for the contacts of these relays are:
|
|
---|---|
R1COM | Common or pole contact for Relay 1 |
R1NC | Normally closed contact for Relay 1 when the coil is not energized |
R1NO | Normally open contact for Relay 1 when the coil is not energized |
R2COM | Common or pole contact for Relay 2 |
R2NC | Normally closed contact for Relay 2 when the coil is not energized |
R2NO | 485-A (-)Normally open contact for Relay 2 when the coil is not energized |
NOTE: For fail-safe installations, the desirable relay is usually energized and the circuit closed. Use the normally open contacts for fail-safe installations since they are closed when the relay is energized.
Your Kayden instrument requires very little maintenance as there are no moving parts.
Without detailed knowledge of the environment parameters of the application surroundings and process data media, Kayden cannot make specific recommendations for periodic inspection, cleaning, or testing procedures.
Kayden does however suggest general guidelines for maintenance (see the CLASSIC Product Manual). Use operating experience to establish the frequency of each type of maintenance.
The CLASSIC does not require any calibration for use as a switch/transmitter. Once properly setup, the CLASSIC will be as stable and repeatable as the process in which it is installed.
It may be necessary to check or repeat the setup procedure if the process changes dramatically over time.
The CLASSIC uses a 2-watt heater that can be set between 0 - 100%, in 5% increments.
GUIDELINES FOR SETTING HEATER POWER:
The faster the flow rate (velocity) the more heat is required. In level applications the amount of heat, in part, determines the reaction time.
The CLASSIC 800 Series has a “Smart Heater” function (see the “Classic 800 Product Manual”). If a heater operates constantly in a no flow or dry condition, a “Thermal Offset” can occur. This means the heater may affect the reading from the reference RTD.
The microprocessor will automatically reduce the heater power setting to a lower power rating when the probe is “dry” or in a “no-flow” condition. When the process media touches the sensors, or flow begins again, the original heater power setting is restored.
