Programming Parameters
Programming customizes the ratemeters functions to fit the application. All pro-
gramming may be done by using the front panel program (
PGM
) and arrow keys - up
(
), down (
), and right (
). Programming is done by entering the proper
value into each programming parameter. The parameters each have a name and a
value, and are shown in the parameter list starting on page 12. The programming
parameters associated with the optional RS 485 communications board, the analog
retransmission board, and the relay output board only show in the program list if the
corresponding option board is installed in the ratemeter.
To navigate through the parameter list, use the program key and the up and down
arrow keys.
1. The parameter name is displayed by pressing and holding the program key
(
PGM
).
2. The value of the parameter is displayed by releasing the program key.
3. While holding the program key (
PGM
), the unit scrolls down one parameter
name each time the down arrow (
) key is pressed, and scrolls up one
parameter name each time the up arrow (
) key is pressed. When the
PGM
key is released, the display shows the value of the selected parameter.
To change the value of the selected parameter:
1. Press the right arrow key (
). For parameters that have selection lists
(such as display, decimal point, baud rate, etc.), the value will descent one
selection through the list each time the right arrow key is pressed. When the
desired value appears on the display, press
PGM
to go back to the parameter
name. For numeric values such as scaler, offset, full scale, setpoints, and
hysteresis; the most significant digit will flash.
