If removing a segment from a configured lineariser,
the segment to be deleted, which is shown on the left
hand side of the display, can be selected using the
&
or
*
push button.
When a segment is deleted,
the identification numbers of all segments above the
deleted segment are decreased by one.
Press
)
to return to the
dEL
prompt in the lineariser
sub-menu.
6.5 Input frequency:
PuL5E Fr
PuL5E Fr
is a sub-menu in the
FACtor
function for
entering the pulse input frequency at which each of
the lineariser segments starts, see Fig 8.
To enter the input pulse frequency at which one or
more lineariser segments start, select
FACtor
in the
configuration menu and press
(
which will reveal
one of four sub-functions. If
PuL5E Fr
is not displayed
repeatedly press the
&
or
*
button to select
PuL5E Fr
followed by
(
to display the current
segment for which the start frequency will be entered
and the total number of segments that have already
been defined using the
Add
and
dEL
functions, see
below.
The required segment, which is shown on the left
hand side of the display, can be selected using the
&
or
*
push button.
When selected press
(
which
will reveal the current input frequency with one digit
flashing.
The value of the flashing digit may be
changed by pressing the
&
or
*
button. When this
digit is correct pressing
(
will transfer control to the
next digit.
When the input frequency for this
lineariser segment is set as required, press the
)
button to return to the segment identification display
from which the next segment may be selected using
&
or
*
push button.
When the input frequency for all of the segments has
been entered, return to the
FACtor
prompt in the
configuration menu by operating the
)
push button.
6.6 Flowmeter K-factor
L-Factor
L-FACtor
is a sub-menu in the
FACtor
function for
entering the flowmeter K-factor for each of the
lineariser segments, see Fig 9.
The rate totaliser pulse input is divided by
L-FACtor
,
which is adjustable between 0.0001 and 99999; for
flow applications it should be set to the K-factor of the
flowmeter. K-factor is the number of pulses that the
flowmeter produces per unit volume of flow e.g. 20
pulses per litre,
L-FACtor
therefore converts the
flowmeter output into engineering units ready for
further scaling to produce the required rate and total
flow displays.
To enter the flowmeter K-factor for one or more
segments, select
FACtor
in the configuration menu
and press
(
, which will reveal one of four sub-
functions.
If
L-FACtor
is not displayed in the sub-
menu repeatedly press the
&
or
*
button to select
L-FACtor
followed by
(
to display the current
segment for which
L-FACtor
will be entered and the
total number of segments that have already been
defined using the
Add
and
dEL
functions.
The required segment, which is shown on the left
hand side of the display, can be selected using the
&
or
*
push button, see below.
When selected, press
(
which will reveal the
current
L-FACtor
for the selected segment with one
digit flashing. The value of the flashing digit may be
changed by pressing the
&
or
*
button. When
this digit has been adjusted as required, pressing
(
will transfer control to the next digit. When all
the digits have been adjusted pressing
(
will
transfer control to the decimal point that may be
positioned between any of the digits, or may be
omitted by moving it to the right of the least
significant digit.
When
L-FACtor
for this lineariser segment is set as
required, press the
)
button to return to the
segment identification display from which the next
segment may be selected using
&
or
*
push
button. When
L-FACtor
for all of the segments has
been entered, return to the
FACtor
prompt in the
configuration menu by operating the
)
push button
twice.
6.7 Lineariser error message
If an attempt is made to position a segment at an
input frequency which is not greater than the
frequency of the preceding segment, or at an input
frequency which is not less than the frequency of the
following segment, the error message
value.err
will
be displayed.
