Description
The Parker Velcon IPM Integrated Particulate Monitor measures particle contamination continuously updates the display, output options and limit relay every second, and does not perform a “one-off” test. This means that even if the measurement period is set to 60 seconds, the display, output and limit relay all report the presence of dirt in the oil in just a few seconds—it does not wait until the end of the measurement period before reporting the result.
The IPM has just one setting to control the accuracy, stability and sensitivity of the measurements and that is the “measurement period.” This can be set from five seconds to 180 seconds. The longer the measurement period, the more contaminant is measured, averaging out any spikes seen on a smaller sample. The shorter the measurement period the more sensitive the IPM is to variation of contaminant level, but also the performance on clean systems can be reduced. The user can select how sensitive the IPM is to spikes of contaminant, and how quickly it responds to contamination levels above the set point (“limits”).
The IPM-100 Series are designed for integration into existing control systems.
