When  set  as  required  pressing  the

  E

 button  will

enter the selection and return the display to the    ‘t-
rE5Et’  sub-function.    The  remote  reset  facility
described  in  section  4.2  of  this  manual  is  not
affected by the status of this local reset function.

When  enabled,  ‘Gt-rE5Et’  allows  an  operator  to
reset the BA354NE grand total to zero by operating
the 

E

 and

 

 push buttons simultaneously for at least

ten seconds.  To check the status of ‘t-rE5Et’ select
'LoC.r5Et'' from the configuration menu and press

 P.

Using  the  

  or  

  button  select  ‘Gt-rE5Et’ and

press 

P

 which will reveal if the function is turned 'on'

or 'oFF'.   Operating the 

 or 

 button will toggle

the display between the two conditions.  When set
as  required  pressing  the

  E

  button  will  enter  the

selection  and  return  the  display  to  the   ‘Gt-rE5Et’
sub-function.

6.18  Security code:  ‘CodE’

Access to the instrument configuration menu may be
protected by a four digit security code which must be
entered  to  gain  access.      New  instruments  are
configured with the default security code 0000 which
allows  unrestricted  access  to  all  configuration
functions. 

To enter a new security code select 'CodE' from the
configuration menu and press

 

P

 which will cause the

Rate Totaliser to display the existing security code
with  one  digit  flashing.   The  flashing  digit  can  be
adjusted using the 

 and

 

 push buttons, when set

as  required  operating  the  

P

  button  will  transfer

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

 

E

 to return to the ‘CodE’ prompt

in the configuration menu. The revised security code
will be activated when the Rate Totaliser is returned
to  the  display  mode.    Please  contact  BEKA
associates sales department if the security code is
lost.

6.19  Reset to factory defaults:  ‘r5Et’

This  function  enables  the  Rate  Totaliser  and  the
lineariser to be quickly returned to the factory default
configurations shown in sections 6.2 and 7.5

To reset the Rate Totaliser or lineariser select ‘r5Et’
from the configuration menu and press 

P

, the  Rate

Totaliser will display one of the reset options ‘ConF’
or ‘LtAb’.

‘ConF’

Resets the Rate Totaliser to defaults

‘LtAb’

Resets the lineariser to defaults

Using the 

 or 

 push-button select the required

sub-function  and  press  

P.

   To  prevent  accidental

resetting the request must be confirmed by entering
‘5urE’.   Using the 

 button set the first flashing digit

to ‘5’ and press  

P

 to transfer control to the second

digit which should be set to ‘u’.     When ‘5urE’ has
been  entered  pressing  the  

E

 button  will  reset  the

selected configuration menus and return the display
to the ‘r5Et’ function in the configuration menu. 

6.20  Over-range

Numerical over-range of the rate or total displays is
indicated by all the digits displaying ‘9’ and all the
decimal points flashing. 

When the total display exceeds 99999999 or            -
9999999 it will not automatically roll-over to zero and
continue counting, but the grand total will continue to
count.      If  it  is  likely  that  the  total  will  exceeds
99999999 or -9999999 the grand total, which has a
capacity of 10

16

 and –10

15

 counts, should be reset to

zero at the start of the operation.

If the total display exceeds 99999999 or -9999999
when  the  BA354NE  has  been  configured  for
bi-directional  flow,  the  total  display  will  be  locked
and will not record flow in the opposite direction to
the over-range, although the grand total will continue
to function.
