3-2 VER 8.8 Programming
Overview:
This Section of the manual provides an outline of
programming procedures for the batcher software
version 8.7. Detailed descriptions and programming
instructions for this unit are available in previous
sections of this manual. Page number references
are included to help you fi nd related information in
this manual.
Programming Procedures:
Enter Program Mode
- Press the MENU button,
“D”, in the Run Mode.
Choosing a Sub Menu
- Once in the Program
Mode, continue pressing the “D” button until the
desired Sub Menu is displayed. Press “ENT” to
enter the selected Sub Menu.
Making a Selection
- An arrow, “
↓
↓
”, appearing over
only the “D” button indicates that “D” is used to
change the selection. When an arrow appears
over “B” and “D”, one must be selected.
Entering a Value
- The keypad is used to enter a
number. Use the “D” button to enter a decimal.
(Ex: 34.5 would be entered by pressing “3”, “4”,
“D”, and “5”)
Accept a Value or Selection
- Press “ENT” to ac-
cept the value and go to next step.
Exit Program Mode
- Program or skip each step
of one of the menus to return to the Run Mode.
Pressing “ENT” allows a step to be skipped with-
out changing its value.
■
Display
- This box represents the unit’s dis-
play. In the Run Mode, the fl ow rate, the batch
total, or the grand total will be displayed.
XX Current Value
- The number that is currently
programmed for that step. It must be cleared
(
CLR
button) before entering a new value.
00 No Value
- Indicates that programmed value
for that step has been cleared, and a new
number may be entered.
Keypad
- Use the front panel keypad to enter
a value or select a decimal point location for
this step.
3-3 VER 8.8 K-Factor Programming
(See Programming Flow Chart, Page 10)
The average sensor K-Factor is usually provided in
pulses per unit volume, and will have to be modifi ed
before entering it into the instrument. On most fl ow-
meters, the average sensor K-Factor is stamped
on the nameplate or provided on its documenta-
tion. (see section 7 for Calculating K-Factors, for a
complete example)
Count K-Factor:
The Count K-Factor must be modifi ed to allow for
the decimal point location chosen in the ”DEC LOC“
step.
DPF
- The Decimal Point Factor is a divider to com-
pensate for the displayed decimal point.

Rate K-Factor:
The Rate K-Factor must be determined to dis-
play the rate in the desired time unit. The fl oating
decimal point displayed by the Rate Meter fl oats
according to the signifi cant fi gure setting used in
the SIG FIG step.
Where:
TF
- The Time Factor is a divider to adjust the
time units that the Rate Meter shows.
