Device Description

The CAT measuring instrument is a non-contact measuring instrument and serves to set the
pneumatic cushioning for pneumatic cylinders with an integrated magnetic piston.
The CAT measuring instrument guides the user through the set-up process and indicates the
current cushioning status as well as the next steps to be carried out.
In addition, the optional app offers the possibility of displaying additional information such as the
piston speed and cushioning characteristics.
The CAT measuring instrument is customized to AVENTICS cylinders and compatible with the
series PRA, CSL-RD, MNI, CCL-IS, ITS, TRB, RPC, and ICS.
The CAT measuring instrument fulfils the radio installations directive 2014/53/EC.

Assembly and Commissioning

Danger of injury if assembled under pressure
Injuries and damage to the device or system components may occur if the pressure is not
switched off before beginning assembly.
O
Make sure that the relevant system part is not under pressure before you assemble the
product.
Due to the magnetic measuring principle, observe the following:
Strong external magnetic fields (e.g. welding devices) or ferromagnetic add-on parts
located in the area of the proximity switch could possibly impair the CAT measuring
instrument function.
Charging the battery 1
Danger of injury due to exploding batteries
Unapproved chargers or cables and faulty connection of the charger can lead to a explosion of
the battery or serious damage to the device.
O
Only use the supplied chargers (USB charge cable + power pack). See "Delivery Contents".
O
Carefully connect the charger. Make sure that all plugs are properly connected.

WARNING
CAUTION
Serious damage to the CAT measuring instrument
Open, loose, damaged, or missing covers can lead to water and dust entering the CAT
measuring instrument, which may damage it.
O
Ensure that the cover on the micro USB socket (1) is tightly sealed.
O
Prevent the cover of the micro USB socket (1) from becoming damaged or detached.
Damages due to faulty use are not covered by the warranty.
Charge the battery with the battery charger before you use the CAT measuring instrument for
the first time. You can also charge the CAT measuring instrument by connecting it to a computer
via the USB cable (9, 10).
The LED display (4) indicates the charge level at any time. The battery is fully charged when the
LED display (4) is illuminated green. If the charge level is less than 20%, the LED (4) flashes red.
The empty battery must then be charged via the micro USB socket (1). The typical charging time
is approx. 2.5 hours. The CAT measuring instrument can be used during the charging process.
1. Connect the USB cable (9, 10) to the USB power pack (11).
2. Remove the cover of the CAT measuring instrument (1), the USB socket is located behind it.
3. Insert the USB cable (8, 9) into the micro USB socket (1).
4. Insert the USB power pack (11) into a power socket.
5. Fully charge the battery. First detach the charger from the CAT measuring instrument and
then disconnect the charger from the electricity socket.
6. Close the cover of the micro USB socket (1).
For energy saving reasons, the CAT measuring instrument features an automatic
switch-off function that automatically switches off the device after 5 minutes without
measurement.
Positioning and mounting the CAT measuring instrument
on a cylinder ,
2/1 2/2
The correct functioning of the CAT measuring instrument requires precise positioning of the
measuring instrument on the cylinder.
1. Position the CAT measuring instrument on the cylinder at the point at which the pneumatic
cushioning should be adjusted (see sticker in Fig.
2. Mount the CAT measuring instrument onto the cylinder with one of the included mounting
2/1 2/2
straps (Fig. or ). For cylinder diameters larger than 125 mm connect the two
included mounting straps to each other and mount the CAT measuring instrument on the
cylinder.
This prevents displacement of the CAT measuring instrument during the setting process.
Incorrect mounting of the CAT measuring instrument may result in an erroneous
measurement outcome or failure of the CAT measuring instrument.
Commissioning the CAT measuring instrument
Risk of uncontrolled actuator movements when the pneumatics are switched on
There is a danger of personal injury if the pneumatic system is in an undefined state.
O
Put the pneumatic system in a defined state before switching it on.
Commissioning may only be carried out by qualified electrical or pneumatic personnel or an
instructed person under the direction and supervision of qualified personnel (see also
"Personnel qualifications").
1. Switch the CAT measuring instrument on using the switch-on button (2) on the device.
The 3 LEDs (cushioning status and throttle adjustment) (5, 6, 7) are illuminated in yellow.
The setting process can start now.
2. Set the cylinder cushioning as follows:
a) Move the piston into the two cylinder end positions (calibration drive).
b) Start the first measurement drive.
The CAT measuring instrument now shows the cushioning state and the required
direction of rotation of the end position throttle.
c) Repeat the setting process of the measuring instrument until the desired state is reached.
W Please note the various signals of the LED (see display and operation elements).
W After the device is switched on for the first time or when setting the cushioning for
another cylinder series, the calibration drive must be repeated (see description 2a)
under "Commissioning the CAT measuring instrument").
W In some instances, despite the turning of the end position throttle, the CAT
measuring instrument does not signal green but yellow. The reason for this is often
an oversized cylinder for the mass and speed or an instable load on the cylinder.
In these cases the setting can be kept on yellow. To benefit from the advantages of
an optimally selected cylinder, a suitable cylinder can be selected for your
application with the help of the AVENTICS CylinderFinder.
