Introduction
The Model 4200 Rate/Totalizer is designed to accept fre-
quency or pulse inputs from a wide range of flowmeters and
to display flowrate and a re-settable total directly in engineer-
ing units. Scaled pulse output is standard. The Model 4200
is fully programmable with K-Factors, linearization of multiple
K-Factors, decimal point positions, and timebase being pro-
grammed via the front panel switches. The instrument is
housed in a durable weatherproof polycarbonate enclosure
that can be mounted directly on a flowmeter, panel mounted
or wall mounted using a pivoting bracket.
Quick Setup
The steps below are to be used only if you do not require
pulse or analog output.
1. Press and hold the [Program] to enter the programming
mode.
2. Press [Program] to skip “Linear”.
3. In “Factor” mode.
a.
Press [+] to increase number.
b.
Press [-] to decrease number.
4. Press [Enter/Next] to move cursor left, press [K
Factor] to move cursor right.
5. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until entire K Factor is entered.
6. Press [Program] once to show F.dEc (Flow Rate Deci-
mal Point) mode.
a.
Press [+] to increase number.
b.
Press [-] to decrease number.
7. Press [Program] once to show t.dEc (Total Decimal
Point).
a.
Press [+] to increase number.
b.
Press [-] to decrease number.
8. Press [Program] once to show tScale (Time Scale)
mode.
a.
Press [+] or [-] to change time scale shown.
b.
Sec = rate per second
c.
60 Sec = rate per minute
d.
Per hr = rate per hour
e.
24 hr = rate per day.
9. Press [Program] once to “SPULSE” mode.
10. Press [Program] once to “ANALOG” mode.
11. Press [Program] once to “PASS” mode.
12. Press [Program] once to “ACCEPT” mode.
13. Press [Enter/Next] to exit programming mode.
