Set-up Functions
SETUP PARAMETERS
TOTAL/BATCH TOTAL
1.1
SETUP - 1.1 determines the measurement unit for total and batch total The following units can
be selected:
L - m3 - UKGAL - USGAL - UKbbl - USbbl - OILbbl
Please note that the K-Factor entered in 5.1 should be in pulses per litre and unit adjustment is
done automatically.
DECIMALS
1.2
The decimal point determines for total and batch total the number of digits following the decimal
point. The following can be selected:
0000000 - 111111.1 - 22222.22 - 3333.333
TOTAL
ACCUMULATED
2.1
SETUP - 2.1 determines the measurement unit for accumulated total. The following units can be
selected:
L - m3 - UKGAL - USGAL - UKbbl - USbbl - OILbbl
Please note that the K-Factor entered in 5.1 should be in pulses per litre and unit adjustment is
done automatically.
Decimals
2.2
The decimal point determines for accumulated total the number of digits following the decimal
point. The following can be selected:
0000000 - 111111.1 - 22222.22 - 3333.333
Flow Note
The settings for total and flow rate are entirely separate. In this way, different units of measure-
ment can be used for each e.g. cubic meters for total and liters for flow rate.
The display update time for flow rate is one second or more.
FLOW RATE
3.1
SETUP - 21 determines the measurement unit for flow rate.
The following units can be selected:
L - m3 - UKGAL - USGAL - UKbbl - USbbl - OILbbl
Please note that the K-Factor entered in 5.1 should be in pulses per litre and unit adjustment is
done automatically.
TIME UNIT
3.2
The flow rate can be calculated per second (SEC), minute (MIN), hour (HR) or day (DAY).
DECIMALS
3.3
This setting determines for flow rate the number of digits following the decimal point. The fol-
lowing can be selected:
00000 - 1111.1 - 2222.22 - 3333.333
CALCULATION
3.4
The flow rate is calculated by measuring the time between a number of pulses, for example 10
pulses. The more pulses the more accurate the flow rate will be. The maximum value is 255
pulses.
Note:
the lower the number of pulses, the higher the power consumption of the unit will
be (important for battery powered applications).
Note:
for low frequency applications (below 10Hz): do not program more than 10 pulses
else the update time will be very slow.
Note:
for high frequency application (above 1kHz) do program a value of 100 or more
pulses.
CUT-OFF TIME
3.5
With this setting, you determine a minimum flow requirement thresh-hold, if during this time
less than XXX-pulses (SETUP 26) are generated, the flow rate will be displayed as zero.
The cut-off time has to be entered in seconds - maximum time is 999 seconds (about 15 minutes).
FLOW METER
K FACTOR
5.1
With the K-factor, the flow meter pulse signals are converted to a flow rate.
The K-factor is based on the number of pulses generated by the flow meter per selected measure-
ment unit (SETUP 1.1), for example per liter. The more accurate the K-factor, the more accurate
the functioning of the system will be.
SETTING K-FACTOR
The setting allows a K Factor with up to 3 decimal places and 4 whole numbers eg;
1234.123
