Take care when spraying down the running machine/plant with a hose. The hose may
very rapidly get caught up by the rolls. Persons may be pulled into the machine/plant.
The machine/plant may be damaged.
Every inrunning nip/wrapping point is a danger zone. No parts of the body or items of
clothing must come into contact with inrunning nip/wrapping points in order to prevent
them from being drawn in. Do not wear any loose clothing which could get caught up in
the roll nip/roll-entry point.
Never put your hand between safety guards and rotating machine parts or climb in be-
tween them.
Do not touch rotating shafts and spindles. Items of clothing, hair or loose paper may get
caught up on rotating parts. Take care that all safety guards are installed at all times.
At swivel arms and moving loading devices, there is a risk of crushing. Take care in the
area of drive shafts and motor couplings. Do not remove safety guards.
2.2.13.5 Work on running machine/plant

Work may be carried out on running parts of the machine/plant only if this is unavoidable.
Persons must not be endangered when working on running parts of the machine/plant.
Always observe the necessary protective measures when threading the paper web.
Wear close-tting clothing. Loose clothing may be caught by moving machine parts.

2.2.13.6 Removal of broke

While the machine/plant is running, never perform the following work by hand: For the
removal of broke and deposits, enough suitable equipment or tools must be kept ready.
Removal of broke and deposits of application uid or stock/paper residues on rolls,
doctors and machine clothing
Cleaning of rolls wrapped with paper
Suitable equipment or tools for removal of broke and deposits are, for example:
Compressed-air units
Fluid spraying devices
Hand scrapers for roll cleaning
Hand-held compressed-air and uid spraying devices must be tted with sufciently long
nozzle pipes so that danger to the hands is precluded. The actuating valves must close
automatically on release.
Tools which are used while the machine/plant is running may be drawn into the ma-
chine/plant. These tools must therefore have a predetermined breaking point. When
the tool is drawn into the machine/plant, the tool breaks at the predetermined breaking
point. When the tool breaks, the personnel must not be endangered. The handles of
tools must therefore be made of wood, plastic or bamboo, for example. The handles of
tools must have neither ring grips nor thicker parts.
Stop the respective machine group before removing broke that has got stuck. Safeguard
the respective machine group against starting. If required, also stop the adjacent ma-

chine group(s). If required, run the machine/plant at crawl speed in inching mode. There
is a risk of falling in the area of the couch broke chests/broke pulpers. Pay attention to
barriers.
Rolls located on the outside of the machine clothing represent a special danger zone.
These rolls are accessible across the width of the machine/plant. Because of this, these
rolls might cause the operators to remove paper shreds and deposits by hand. This may

ation Protection Ordinance.
2.4.1 Handling radioactive isotopes

When handling radioactive substances, individuals can generally be affected by these
substances in two ways
radiation exposure from outside of the human body
radiation exposure from within the human body
Radiation exposure from outside

The radiation exposure from outside involved when using devices of the Voith Paper
GmbH & Co. KG is of major importance.
An outside radiation exposure due to the radioactive sources installed in the measuring
systems of the Voith Paper GmbH & Co. KG may only cause noticeable damage to an
individual if he/she acts with utmost negligence or wrongly with intent.

All signals are measured and converted in the UniCAN interface and transmitted to the
measurement system via CANBUS in short intervals.
An internal Mylar standard can be inserted in front of the source.

This standard is used to improve dirt compensation and to verify calibration stability
automatically.

Both the source and the receiver heads have an air circulation system that will keep the
air behind the external window in rapid motion. An air temperature sensor is located in
the air stream.
The signal coming from this temperature sensor is used to calculate the air density com-
pensation for the internal air columns.
The external air gap is purged from both sides of the sheet. The temperature in the air
gap is also measured and used to correct variations of the air density in the measuring
gap.

4.2 Operating principle and measurement algorithm
4.2.1 General description

As the radiation penetrates the sheet, it will interact with the charged particles in the
matter in several ways.
Beta rays can lose energy by colliding inelastically with the electrons in the atoms. In this
case the beta ray not only slows down, but it also changes its direction, i.e. it scatters.
A beta particle can also collide elastically with the atomic nucleus, in which case it scat-
ters without a loss of energy. A small amount of a beta particle's energy is also lost in this
case, as the electromagnetic eld around the atoms causes the particles to decelerate
and emit X-rays (Bremsstrahlung).
The absorption of beta energy by matter is generally proportional to the density of elec-
trons in the matter.
For all common elements, with the exception of hydrogen, the mass number of an atom is
close to two times the number of electrons in the atom, so the mass absorption coefcient
for a beta ray with a given energy is almost independent of the element. Hydrogen, of
course, has one electron and a mass number of 1, so any material with a high Hydrogen
content will have a high absorption.
Elastic scattering per unit mass increases with increasing mass number. Even through
there is no energy loss, the elastic scattering increases the average path through the
sheet, and therefore increases the absorption by the inelastic collisions. A beta sensors
ash sensitivity is primarily a result of the increased elastic scattering by the heavier ele-
2014-10-13 (Release 1.0)
ments in ash. The sensor is compensated for ash variations by the proper selection of
source and receiver geometry.
Increasing basis weight reduces the average energy of the beta particles; the absorption
coefcient increases with lower energy. This means that if the sensor windows get dirty
thus increasing the total mass, the sensor will become marginally more sensitive requir-
ing a small correction. The basis weight sensor is equipped with an internal standard

that is used to calculate this correction.

Since the beta absorption does not accurately obey Beer's law, the calculation algorithm
used by Voith Paper GmbH & Co. KG is somewhat complex.
The basis weight sensor uses a 3 x 3 detector matrix in the receiver. Corner elements
Hardt-VPH-s3a 3704
in this matrix are summed up in the analog electronics, so that there are 6 detector
outputs from the detector. In addition to the detector outputs, both the upper and the
lower air column temperatures are measured and used in the basis weight algorithm. A
Across
gap sensor (z-sensor) with a frequency output is also provided and used to compensate
sensor readings for gap variations. Ratios of signals from individual detector channels
are used to calculate corrections for CD and MD misalignment and sheet utter.

4.2.2 Basis weight calculation algorithm
4.2.2.1 General
Data from the six detector channels is collected at a high sampling rate.
In scan mode the software can either run the complete algorithm for each sample cycle,
or average the data over a prole data box and then run the algorithm with the average
values.
In single point and sample mode the detector signals can be averaged over a predeter-
mined time period and the algorithm is then calculated with the average values.
The rst part of the measurement algorithm calculates a weighted sum of the detec-
tor signals corrected for machine direction and cross direction alignments errors, sheet
utter effects, and errors caused by variations in the gap size.
The second part of the measurement algorithm linearizes this corrected signal and uses
it together with the data collected during standardization to calculate the nal basis
weight. Air column temperature corrections and possible dirt compensation are included
in the second part of the algorithm.
4.2.2.2 Alignment and sheet utter compensation

Alignment and sheet position corrections are based on the measurement of radiation
beam shape using a multi-element detector array and combining this data with the output
of an inductive gap size sensor (z-sensor).

6.2.1.5 Dynamic Sample mode

This mode is used to determine grade-dependent slopes and offsets by comparing sen-
sor readings at a selected location to a reel sample taken from that same location.
The Dynamic Sample mode is similar to the Fixed point mode ( Page 6-2, Chap-
ter 6.2.1.4).
The two modes differ in the fact that the Dynamic Sample mode allows short mini-
scans that are used to measure an average value over an area that is used for cutting a
laboratory sample from the reel.
The average basis weight during the sampling time is displayed, as well as basis weight
variations.
6.2.1.6 Sampling / verication mode

This mode is used to verify the sensor function, or to recalibrate the sensor with standard
samples outside the sheet.
Typically this is done with the scanner in the home position (garage).
Other positions may also be needed, the sample position must therefore be pro-
grammable
After the user has set the sample mode, the scanner is moved to sample position and
the sensor is standardized.
As the sample position is not necessarily the same as the home position, utter and

Then the system then waits for a sample request.

During the standardization, open, closed and internal standard readings are taken for
the six detector signals.
Upper and lower air column temperature signals as well as the output frequency of the
z-sensor are also recorded.
The software provides a suitable settling time before these readings are taken.

Initial start-up is carried out by Voith Paper GmbH & Co. KG service personnel.
6.4.1 Correlation
6.4.1.1 Overview
This procedure is intended to provide a basis for establishing consistent and veriable
measurement with the basis weight sensor in the mill environment.
The correlation describes the interrelation of two characteristics, events or states. In
sensor-related applications we differentiate between static and dynamic correlation.
The static correlation is used to monitor the factory-provided calibration of the sensor
and thus the repeatability of all measured basis weight values.
This method allows to detect malfunctions of the sensor or other factors affecting the
quality of the measurement at an early stage.
Dynamic correlation means the collection of grade-specic slope and offset values based
on dynamic sampling, i. e. the ne adjustment of the sensor to the corresponding paper
grade.

6.4.1.3 Dynamic correlation

This procedure is based on single point measurement / miniscan of the sensor on a
selected location on the sheet, where both CD and MD variations are small, logging the
data just before the reel turn up and the cutting of laboratory samples from the reel at
the selected location.
For the best accuracy it is important to time the sampling precisely and to work speedily;
this ensures that the lab samples are measured with the smallest ambient inuence
possible.
As paper immediately adjusts to the ambient climate, the only way for the lab to calculate
the exact basis weight is to use the moisture value and the value of the corresponding
dry weight of the sample.
Procedure
1. Select a location on the sheet where the basis weight is relative stable in MD and
CD direction.
2. Measure the distance from the sensor window centerline to the edge of the sheet.

6.4.1.3.2 Determining slope and offset

New slope and offset values are calculated by rst graphing the laboratory data for a
given grade as a function of the sensor readings and by nding the best t straight line
for the points on this graph.
The most convenient way to determine slope and offset is to use a suitable spreadsheet
program such as Excel, and use the spreadsheet tools to t a linear trend line to the
data.
The graph below ( Page 6-9, Fig. 6-4) was made using Excel. Slope and offset of this
line are then used to determine the new calibration data.
The data must cover a wide range of basis weight values within a grade with good re-
peatability before both slope and offset can be determined.

Both open (So) and closed (Sb) sensor signals, as well as the reading for the internal
standard (vf) should be set up as trends in the system.
Their behavior can be used effectively to predict problems before they become serious
enough to cause downtime.
000021439N000 61 P48209 MO 000 en
Large sudden changes in the standardization readings are often an early indication of a
problem, even though the actual basis weight readings may not initially change.
Standardization data can be found on the measurement service page.

A signicant rapid drop (>15%) in the open sensor signal is often caused by dirt build-up
on the windows.
2016-06-15 6-10
Other causes may be faulty sensor electronics, a loose connection, or a shutter that is
not opening fully.
A change in the ag (internal Mylar standard) reading is also normally caused by dirt on
the windows. It can also be an indication of dirt build-up on the ag itself due to dirty
purge air.
Other causes can be malfunctioning ag valves, ag actuator cylinders, or the ag drive
system.
A large change in the closed sensor signal is caused either by an electronic failure or, if
there is a problem with the purge air, condensation or oil inside the sensor.
A malfunctioning detector temperature controller can cause signicant daily variations
in the closed sensor signal that follows ambient temperature variations, or it can be an
indication of a detector element that is starting to fail.
A malfunction of the shutter or the ag in the upper head can cause signicant changes in
the standardization values. The minimum air pressure required for the reliable operation
of the shutter and ag actuators is 400 kPa (4 bar).
The shutter warning light remaining red indicates this condition. A shutter that opens
only partially also causes the shutter warning light to come on.
A red shutter warning light means not fully closed.
The red light cannot be relied upon as an indicator of a properly functioning shutter as the
light turns red even when the shutter moves just slightly off from the fully closed position.

If the shutter fails to close completely, the service personnel of the Voith Paper GmbH &
Co.KG Support Line needs to be notied immediately

6.8 Cleaning
WARNING
Danger of body parts being crushed when moving the sensor carriage.
The following works may only be carried out when the sensor carriage is in garage
position.
6.8.1 Sensor surfaces

The sensors are installed in the lower and/or upper sensor carriage.
It depends on the physical values to be measured and on the customer which sensors
are used.
NOTICE
Basis weight and ash sensors come with very thin protective lms that are easily dam-
aged. In the case of sensors with windows made of glass, the glass can get scratched.
Defective membranes falsify the measured values and may damage the sensor electron-
ics.
Scratched glass windows can falsify the measured values.
Mechanical damage of the sensor surface due to unsuitable cleaning agents and aids
must be avoided by all means.
To clean the sensor surface, only use a soft cloth and methyl alcohol or soap sud if
