Round Horizontal Tank Linearization (
rHt
)
This function automatically calculates the volume in a round horizontal tank with flat ends. This function is
only used when
Total
is set to
no
.
Set the display for the desired decimal point and engineering units before entering the round horizontal
tank function. Select units, inches or cm for the tank dimension. Enter the diameter and the length in
inches and the results are given in US gallons.
The meter can be scaled to display the volume in any engineering unit.
Note: After Scale is displayed continue pressing the Enter button until the meter completes the scaling of
the input and display values.
Changing the Volume from Gallons to Liters
In the above graphic, entering the 48" for the diameter and 120" for the length of the round horizontal
tank, the meter automatically calculates that the volume of the tank is 940.02 gallons.
1. Convert gallons to liters
1 US gallon = 3.7854 L
940.02 gal = 3558.4 L
2. Go to the
Setup
menu and change the decimal point to 1 decimal.
3. Go to the
Program
–
Scale
menu and press Enter until
dis 2
is shown on the main display.
4. Press Enter and change the display 2 value to 3558.4.
5. The meter is now displaying the volume in liters.
Note: The display can be scaled to display the volume in any engineering units.
Low-Flow Cutoff (
CutofF
)
The low-flow cutoff feature allows the meter to be programmed so that the often-unsteady output from a
differential pressure transmitter, at low flow rates, always displays zero on the meter.
The cutoff value may be programmed from 0 to 999999. The meter will display zero below the cutoff
value. Programming the cutoff value to zero disables the cutoff feature.
Totalizer Count Up/Down (
Count
)
The totalizer count up/down menu may be used to program the total and grand total to either count up
from 0 when reset or count down from a programmed value when reset. Total and grand total may have
their countdown numbers programmed individually from 0 to 999999.
