Brodie BERT-E, Installation And Operation Manual

Page: 6 / 94

K-FACTOR
Field programmable K-Factor converts input pulses to rate in engineering units. May be
programmed from 0.000001 to 9,999,999 pulses/unit.
CALIBRATION RANGE
Input 1 signal must be ≥ 1 Hz; input 2 signal may be set anywhere above input 1 setting.
Minimum input span is 1 Hz.
An Error message will appear if the input 1 and input 2 signals are too close together.
INPUT CONTACT
DEBOUNCE FILTER
Programmable contact debounce filter. Input signal frequency speed selections of Hi (no filter),
Med (250 Hz max input, 2 ms pulse width), and Low (100 Hz max input, 5 ms minimum pulse
width).
TIME BASE
Second, minute, hour, or day
GATE
Low gate: 1-99 seconds; High gate: 2-9,999 seconds
Rate/Totalizer
DISPLAY
ASSIGNMENT
The Top display is assigned to rate or total. The Bottom display is programmable to display
total; total and units; total and tag; total, total units, and rate units; grand total; grand total and
grand total units; grand total and tag; grand total, grand total units, and rate units; rate units;
rate; rate and total units; rate and rate units; rate and tag; rate units; total units; a custom tag; or
be off (blank).
RATE DISPLAY UNITS
Gallons, liters, imperial gallons, cubic meters, barrels, bushels, cubic yards, cubic feet, cubic
inches, liquid barrels, beer barrels, hectoliters, or custom.
RATE DISPLAY TIME BASE
Rate display may be calculated in terms of units per second, minute, hour, or day.
TOTAL & GRAND TOTAL
DISPLAY UNITS
Gallons, liters, imperial gallons, cubic meters, barrels, bushels, cubic yards, cubic feet, cubic
inches, liquid barrels, beer barrels, hectoliters, or custom. Setting is independent for each.
TOTAL & GRAND TOTAL
DISPLAY UNIT MULTIPLIER
x1, x100 (h), x1000 (k), or x1,000,000 (M) multiplier (and prefix) applied to total or grand total
display units. Setting is independent for each.
TOTAL & GRAND TOTAL
DECIMAL POINT
Up to six decimal places or none:
6.666666
,
55.55555
,
444.4444
,
3333.333
,
22222.22
,
111111.1
or
0000000
Total and grand total decimal points are independently programmed, and are independent of
rate decimal point.
TOTALIZERS
Calculates total and grand total based on rate and field programmable multiplier to display total
in engineering units. Time base must be selected according to the time units in which the rate is
displayed. The total and grand total utilize the same time base, with different conversion factors
and resets.
TOTALIZER
RESET
Via RESET button, mechanical button (cover off), external contact closure (total only),
automatically via user selectable preset value and time delay (1 – 99,999 sec). Manual reset
may be disabled or protected by password for the total and grand total. Total and grand total
reset independently.
TOTAL
OVERFLOW AND ROLLOVER
The total can display up to 9,999,999,999,999. Up to 9,999,999 can be displayed on the lower
display normally. An overflow display will toggle between the first six digits and last seven digits
(999999 <> 9999999) for a 13-digit total. The total will rollover beyond thirteen digits. The T
indicator on the display will flash to indicate total overflow, and the six most significant digits
(first six numbers of the total) are indicated with the flashing overflow symbol .
GRAND TOTAL
OVERFLOW AND ROLLOVER
The grand total can display up to 9,999,999,999,999. Up to 9,999,999 can be displayed on the
lower display normally. An overflow display will toggle between the first six digits and last seven
digits (999999 <> 9999999) for a 13-digit total. The grand total will rollover beyond thirteen
digits. The GT indicator on the display will flash to indicate grand total overflow, and the six
most significant digits (first six numbers of the grand total) are indicated with the flashing
overflow symbol .
EXTERNAL
TOTAL RESET
External total reset connections are made between RST and COM. Logic High: 1.4 V, 3.3V max;
Logic Low: < 0.8 V.
32 ms debounce.
