6.8  Lower display:   ‘di5P-2’

When  only  one  display  is  required  this  function
allows the lower display to be disabled.  To reveal if
the lower display is activated select 'di5P-2' from the
configuration menu and press

 

P

.   If set as required,

press 

E

 to return to the configuration menu, or press

the 

 or 

 button to toggle the function between

‘on’ and ‘oFF’.   When set as required  press

 

E

 to

enter the selection and to return to the configuration
menu.

6.9  Position of the decimal points:   ‘dP’

This  function  defines  the  position  of  the  decimal
point in both the rate and total displays.

Rate display

The rate display can have up to five digits plus
sign,  the  decimal  point  may  be  positioned
between  any  of  the  digits,  or  may  be  omitted.
The BA354NE uses  

floating point arithmetic

 so

moving the position of the rate display decimal
point will affect totalisation.  

Total display

The total display can have up to eight digits or
seven  digits  with  a  negative  sign,  the  decimal
point may be positioned with up to five digits after
it, or it may be omitted.   

Notes:

a. The position of the decimal point in the Grand

Total will be the same as that selected for the
Total Display.

b. If  the  total  display  decimal  point  can’t  be

moved to the left it is likely that the existing
display will be over-ranged by the adjustment.
The  total  display  should  be  reset  to  zero,
which  should  allow  the  decimal  point  to  be
positioned as required.  

c. If the decimal point is moved to the right, the

existing  total  display  will  be  truncated,  not
rounded,  the  lost  precision  can  not  be
recovered.

Positioning the decimal points

To adjust the position of either the rate or total
display  decimal  point  select  'dP'  from  the
configuration  menu  and  press  

P

.      The  upper

display  defined  as  the  rate  or  total  display  by
function  ‘di5P-1’  (section  6.7)  will  be  activated
and  identified.    The  decimal  point  can  be
positioned by operating the 

 or 

 push button,

when set as required enter the setting and return
to  the  conditioning  menu  by  operating  the  

E

button.  Alternatively, to position the lower display
decimal  point  press  the  

P

 button

 

which  will

display and identify the lower display variable, but
on the larger upper display.  The position of the
decimal

 

point can be positioned in the same way

by operating the 

 and 

 push buttons, when

set as required enter the setting and return to the
conditioning menu by operating the 

E

 button.

6.10  Calibration of the rate display using an
         external current source:   ‘CAL’

This function enables the zero and span of the rate
display to be adjusted using an external calibrated
current  source.    When  used  with  an  accurate
traceable current source this is the preferred method
of calibration.

Zero

  

rate display with 4mA input

Span

 

rate display with 20mA input

To calibrate the rate display select 'CAL' from the
configuration menu and press 

P.

  The BA354NE will

display  'ZEro'  which  is  a request  for  a  4mA  input
current.    Adjust  the  external  current  calibrator  to
4.000mA  and  again  press  

P  

which  will  reveal  the

current zero rate display.   The flashing digit of the
display  can  be  changed  by  pressing  the  

 or  

buttons,  when  set  as  required  pressing  

P

 will

transfer control to the next digit.  When all the digits
have been adjusted, press  

E

 to enter the new zero

and return to the 'ZEro' prompt .

Pressing the 

 button will cause the BA354NE to

display 'SPAn' which is a request for a 20mA input
current.    Adjust  the  external  current  calibrator  to
20.000mA and again press  

P  

which will reveal the

existing span rate display.   The flashing digit of the
display  can  be  changed  by  pressing  the  

 or  

buttons, when set s required pressing 

P

 will transfer

control to the next digit.  When all the digits have
been adjusted press  

E t

o enter the new rate span

and  return  to  the  'SPAn'  prompt.    Finally  press  

E

again to return to the configuration menu.

Notes

:

a. The Rate Totaliser input current must be adjusted

to the required value before the zero and span
functions are entered by pressing the 

 button.

b. Rate  Totalisers  may  be  calibrated  at  currents

other than 4 and 20mA, within the range 3.8 to
21.0mA  providing  the  difference  between  the
two  currents  is  greater  than  4mA.    If  these
conditions are not complied with, the instrument
displays ‘FaiL’ and aborts the calibration.

 

c. If  the  zero  current  is  greater  than  the  span

current the instrument will be reverse acting i.e.
an increasing input current will cause the display
to decrease.
