SETUP loop
In this loop, the technician can configure the calculator via the front keys. This enables the technician to configure
the calculator both before installation and after the commissioning of the calculator. Configuration of the calculator
after commissioning requires that the installation seal is broken, and that the calculator top and base are
subsequently separated and reassembled.
How to enter the SETUP loop?
1.
In general (unless otherwise informed by the customer), the SETUP loop is available when the calculator is in
transport state. The calculator leaves the transport state the first time it detects a flow of 1 % of qp or greater or
if the SETUP loop is exited through the menu item “EndSetup”. A total reset of the calculator is the only way to
return to transport state.
2.
When the calculator is in operation, i.e. the calculator has left transport state, the SETUP loop can be accessed
by breaking the calculator’s installation seal and separating and reassembling the calculator top and the
calculator base.
How to exit the SETUP loop?
You can exit the SETUP loop in three ways. All three ways can be used both in transport state and after
commissioning of the calculator.
1.
Keep the primary key activated and navigate to one of the calculator’s other loops.
2.
After 4 minutes, the calculator reaches timeout and reverts to the first reading in the USER loop.
3.
Navigate to the menu item “EndSetup” in the SETUP loop and keep the primary key activated for 5 seconds while
the frames around the reading counts up and the display in the end shows “OK”.
Note: This locks the access to the SETUP loop and thereby, the calculator is locked against further configuration. If
the calculator is to be reconfigured subsequently, the installation seal must be broken and the calculator top and
base must then be separated and reassembled.
As it appears from the table below, the purpose of the menu item “EndSetup” is to enable the technician to lock the
access to the SETUP loop in transport state and thus lock the calculator against further configuration. This function
is, for example, relevant to a technician who knows that a calculator is to be mounted in the installation for some
time before the first integration will be carried out and wants to lock the access to the SETUP loop immediately after
the installation to make sure that no further configuration is possible.
Note that it is only possible to configure the meter 50 times via the SETUP loop.
After 50 times, the meter is locked against further configuration and total reset and reverification of the
meter are required to regain access to the SETUP loop.
IMPORTANT: “EndSetup” is an important function when the meter is in transport state, but when the meter
is in operation, “EndSetup” is just one of three ways to exit the SETUP loop.
