Proflo PF1<strong>Ariel</strong> recommends using Normally Closed (NC) configuration. The <strong>Ariel</strong> Proflo<br />

is provided from the <strong>Ariel</strong> factory programmed for NC operation.<br />

The reason NO and NC are defined this way is that it is easier for mechanics and operators<br />

who do not have an electrical background to understand the switch state when the divider<br />

block is cycling.<br />

Proflo PF1 - Using Pulse Output and Alarm Circuit at Same Time:<br />

If the control system needs to read both the block cycling, proximity switch, and the alarm contact<br />

the following things must be taken into consideration.<br />

Proflo<br />

PF1<br />

1. The Proflo PF1 has an on board processor and data acquisition system (DAQ).<br />

The DAQ system records the time for each divider block cycle and stores this<br />

data to EEPROM. The data is accessible and can be downloaded through the<br />

Proflo infrared port to a Palm Operating System handheld computer with FFT<br />

software. Therefore, it may not be necessary to have the control system read and<br />

count the number of times the divider block cycles.<br />

2. If a PLC is used to read the pulse output, the PLC may be programmed to watch<br />

for the divider block cycling and issue a shutdown if the block does not cycle for a<br />

given time. This may eliminate the need to wire to both Proflo PF1 outputs and<br />

save on field wiring connections.<br />

3. The Proflo PF1 alarm output, red wires, and the divider block cycle output, blue<br />

wires, are not isolated from each other. If it is necessary to read both Proflo outputs,<br />

the isolation must take place on the equipment that is reading the contacts.<br />

If the PLC input card is not isolated between channels both the alarm and pulse<br />

outputs will act as the alarm contact. These contacts must also be isolated from<br />

other inputs. See Figure 4-8:<br />

4. If Isolated inputs are not an option, another way to achieve the output signal isolation<br />

is to connect the alarm/shutdown contact to the safety system and install<br />

another proximity switch for the control system to read and calculate oil consumption.<br />

Refer to the “Proflo PF1 accessories” section below for a proximity switch<br />

part number.<br />

5. If Isolated PLC inputs are not an option, yet another method of achieving isolation<br />
