BEKA BA364G, Manual

6.0 CONFIGURATION & CALIBRATION
The BA367NE Counter is configured and calibrated
via four front panel push buttons. All the
configuration functions are contained in an easy to
use intuitive menu that is shown diagrammatically in
Fig 11.
Each menu function is summarised in section 6.3 of
this manual and each summary includes a reference
to more detailed information.
When factory fitted optional dual alarms, pulse
output or a 4/20mA output are included, additional
functions appear in the configuration menu which
are described separately in section 9.
All new BA367NE Counters are supplied calibrated
as requested at the time of ordering. If calibration is
not requested, Counters will have default
configuration as shown in the following table, but can
easily be re-configured on-site.

Note: While the instrument is being configured
counting continues so that any input pulses
occurring during this time are recorded.
6.1 Configuration structure
Fig 10 shows the calibration structure of the
BA367NE Counter. The pulse input is passed to the
5CALE.r
and
5CALE.t
functions allowing the
independent rate and total displays to have different
engineering units.
5CALE.t
is a dividing factor that converts the input
pulses into the required total display in engineering
units. e.g. if the input is two pulses per pump stroke
and it is required to display the total number of pump
strokes in thousands of strokes,
5CALE.t
should be
set to 2000.
5CALE.r
is a dividing factor that converts the input
pulses into a rate display with the required
engineering units. e.g. if the input is two pulses per
pump stroke and it is required to display the pump
stroke rate,
5CALE.r
should be set to 2.0.
The timebase
t-bA5E
is a multiplying factor that
determines if the instrument displays pulse rate per
second, per minute or per hour.
The BA367NE uses ‘real’ decimal points. Moving the
position of a decimal point in a scale factor will affect
the instrument calibration.
