Full Description of Push Button Functions

P

While   this   button   is   pushed   the   rate
display will show the input current in mA,
or  as  a  percentage  of  the  instrument
span depending upon how the instrument
has been configured.  When the button is
released  the  normal  display  in
engineering units will return. The function
of  this  push  button  is  modified  when
optional  alarms  are  fitted  to  the
instrument.

While  this  button  is  pushed  the
instrument  will  show  the  calibrated  rate
display with 4mA

*

 input - usually zero for

flow  applications.    When  the  button  is
released  the  flow  rate  will  again  be
displayed.

While  this  button  is  pushed  the
instrument  will  show  the  calibrated  rate
display  with  20mA

*

 input.   When  the

button is released the flow rate will again
be displayed.

E

While  this  button  is  pushed  the  Rate
Totaliser  will  display  the  time  in  hours,
minutes  and  seconds  since  the
instrument  was  powered  or  the  total
display was reset.     The elapsed time is
not saved when power is removed.

E+

While these buttons are pushed the total
display  will  show  the  least  significant
eight  digits  of  the  grand  total,  and  the
grand total annunciator will be activated.

E

+

While these two buttons are pushed the
total display will show the most significant
eight  digits  of  the  grand  total  and  the
grand total annunciator will be activated.
After the two buttons have been pushed
for  ten  seconds  ‘CLr  no’  with  the  ‘no’
flashing will be displayed.   If no action is
required,  pressing  

E

  will  return  the

instrument  to  the  operating  mode.
Operating the 

 or 

 button will toggle

the  display  to  ‘CLr  YES’  with  ‘YES’
flashing, operating the  

button will then

clear the grand total and ‘Gt CLrd’ will be
displayed to confirm the operation.   The
instrument will  then  automatically  return
to  the  operating  mode.    Selectable
function  in the configuration menu. See
section  6.17

Note:

 Totalisation will continue until ‘CLr

no’ or ‘CLr YE5’ are displayed.

+

Resets  the  total   display  to  zero when
these  two  push  buttons  are  operated
simultaneously. Selectable function in the
configuration menu.
See section  6.17

P +

 

Rate Totaliser displays firmware  version.

P + 

Provides  direct  access  to  the  alarm
setpoints when optional alarms are fitted
to  the  Rate  Totaliser  and  the  ‘ACSP’
access  setpoints  in  display  mode
function has been enabled.
See section 10.2.13

P+E

Provides  access  to  the  configuration
menu via optional security code.

Note:  

*

  If the Rate Totaliser has been calibrated 

using  the  CAL  function,  calibration  
points may not be 4 and 20mA.  

2.2 Displays

The  BA354NE  has  two  digital  displays  and
associated  annunciators,  plus  a  flow  indicator  as
shown on page 1.

Lower

Shows  the  flow  rate  on  the  five digit 

display

plus sign 12mm high display. 

 

Upper

Shows  the   total  flow on the  eight  digit

display

(seven  with  negative  sign)  18mm  high
display  which  may  be  reset  to  zero  by
operating  the  

+  

 instrument  push

buttons or by an external contact closure.

The  rate  and  total  displays  may  be  interchanged,
see section 6.7

Flow 

This  disc  on the  lower  left hand side of 

indicator

  the   display   rotates   when   the    input

current 

exceeds 4.000mA, indica

flow  is  being    detected  by  the  Rate
Totaliser.  For bi-directional flow, the disc
rotates  when  flow  exceeds  ±0.05%  of
span.

Annunciators

Reset 

Activated when total display is reset to 
zero  by  operating  the  

  +  

 buttons

simultaneously or by connecting the reset
terminals together.

Hold

Activated when flow rate falls below the
clip-off value and totalisation is inhibited.
