Step 13 Reset the grand total to zero

To  reset  the  grand  total  to  zero  select
'CLr.Gtot'  from  the  configuration  menu
and  press

 

P

  which  will  cause  the

instrument  to  display  'Clr.no'.      Toggle
this to 'CLr.YES' using the 

 or 

 push

button and press 

P

 which will result in a

'0000'  prompt.    Using  the

,   and

 

buttons and the

 

P

 button to move control

to the next digit, confirm the request by
entering the password 'SurE'. Note: S is
entered as 5.    Pressing

 

E

 will then reset

the grand total counter to zero and return
the instrument to the 'CLr.Gtot' prompt in
the configuration menu.  

Step 14 Enter security code

The example requires that access to the
Rate  Totaliser  configuration  menu  is
protected by the security code 1209.  To
enter  this  code  select  ‘CodE’  from  the
configuration  menu  and  press  

P  

which

will reveal the existing security code with
one flashing digit.  Using the 

 and 

push buttons and the P button to transfer
control  between  digits  set  the  code  to
1209 and then press E to enter the code
and  return  to  ‘CodE’  prompt  in  the
configuration menu.

Step 15 Return to the Rate Totaliser operating 

mode.

Configuration is now complete, return to
the  Rate  Totaliser  operating  mode  by
pressing the 

E

 button.   

8.2  Using the internal reference

This example explains how to calibrate a BA354NE
Rate  Totaliser  using  the  instruments  internal
reference which means that it does not have to be
disconnected from the measuring loop and no test
equipment is required.

As  in  the  previous  example  the  BA354NE  Rate
Totaliser is connected to a flowmeter having a linear
output  of  20mA  at  a  flow  of  1100  litres  /  minute.
The BA354NE is required to display flow in litres per
minute  with  maximum  resolution  and  total  flow  in
cubic metres with a resolution of 0.1 cubic metres.
Total is to be shown on the upper large display and
rate on the lower smaller display.  Totalisation is to
occur  for  flow  rates  between  1  and  100%  of
maximum flow.  A security code of 1209 is required.
In the operating mode the BA354NE is required to
display  the  input current as a percentage  of span
when the  

P

 push-button is operated and operating

the 

 and  

 buttons

 

simultaneously to reset the

total display to zero.

All the configuration steps are identical to those in
the previous example except for steps 1 and 8.

Step 1

Leave the BA354NE in measurement 
loop.

It  is  not  necessary  to  remove  the
BA354NE  Rate  Totaliser  from  the
measurement loop to reconfigure it using
the  instruments  internal  references.
Throughout  the  procedure  the  loop
current must be between 4 and 20mA.

Step 8

Calibrate the rate display

Select  calibration  of  the  rate  display
using the internal reference ‘5Et’ from the
configuration  menu  and  press  

P

.  

 The

BA354NE will display ‘Zero’, pressing  

P

again  will  reveal  the  calibrated  rate
display  at  4mA  input  with  one  digit
flashing.  The 

 and 

 push buttons will

adjust the flashing digit and the  

P

 push

button  will  transfer  control  to  the  next
digit.    Enter 0000.0  and then press 

E

 to

return to the 'ZEro' prompt.  

Press the 

 button to access the ‘SPAn’

prompt and press P which will reveal the
calibrated rate display at 20mA with one
digit flashing. The 

 and 

 push buttons

will  adjust  the  flashing  digit  and  the  

P

push  button  will  transfer  control  to  the
next digit.    Enter 1100.0  and then press

E

 to return to the 'SPAn' prompt.  Finally,

press  

E

  again  to  enter  the  new  rate

calibration  and return to the ‘5et’ prompt
in the configuration menu.

Step 9

Return to the Rate Totaliser operating 
mode.

Configuration is now complete, return to
the  Rate  Totaliser  operating  mode  by
pressing the 

E

 button.
