Bindicator SonoTracker Ultrasonic Liquid Level, Installation & Operation Manual

Page: 76 / 96

92 DEFAULT
This function clears all SonoTracker Series setup parameters, resets them to factory default values, and
automatically leads you through the Startup Procedure again. Default has two submenus:
• Single clears all parameters only for the channel whose menu tree you are in and used when bringing
new channels online or reconfigured.
• All clears all parameters for all the channels (including math channels). Be careful when using this submenu.
93 ENABLE
This function is used to enable or disable the channel. Disabling a channel actually causes the SonoTracker
Series to stop monitoring the channel. The display shows:
Channel 1
On *
An asterisk indicates the current selection for the channel.
Pressing the up/down keys selects ON or OFF. Pressing the ENTER key saves the selection. If you have setpoint
or current output set up for the channel that you are disabling, the controller will ask whether to release I/O.
Releasing I/O will free up those channels currently used for setpoint and current output for this channel. If you
want to retain the previously entered setpoint and current output information, do not Release I/O.
Pressing the Up and Down Arrow Keys cycles the display through all channels.
MATH CHANNELS
Math Channel functions can be used to process the vessel monitoring results in many ways. A few typical uses
of the math channels follow:
• Add the level or calculate the average for the level from multiple vessels to provide information on the
total inventory of a product stored in several vessels.
• Convert the data from a vessel into another set of units, such as converting a level in feet into a weight in
pounds, to provide additional information on the vessel contents.
The number of channels available for math channels is dependent on the system you purchased:
• Single-point SonoTracker Series (equipped to monitor only one channel) — 23 channels available for
math calculations (channels 2 through 24).
• One Scanner PCB SonoTracker Series (equipped to monitor up to eight channels) — 16 channels
available for math calculations (channels 9 through 24).
Note: There are a total of 24 channels in Enable, consisting of channels that are monitoring transducers as well
as math channels. RSLT comes up in the Display if you scrolled to a math channel while vessel monitoring. If the
channel is a vessel monitoring channel, the menu tree shows Cal in place of Math.
