Available Unit Classes and Units
The meter has six available preprogrammed unit classes,
volume

Setting Custom Units (
CUSTM
)
When the desired unit of measure is not available, a custom unit may be programmed. Select the
CUSTOM
menu in order to enter a custom unit name.
Text values are set using the
Right
and
Up-Arrow
buttons. Press
Right-Arrow
to select next character
and
Up-Arrow
to increment character value. The selected character will flash. Press and hold the
Up
or
Right-Arrow
buttons to auto-increment or decrement the character. Press
Enter
to accept the character.
Notes:
Press and hold the Right Arrow while no character is being edited to erase all characters to the
right of the flashing character
Press and hold Up or Right Arrow to auto-increment or decrement a selected character.
All text values, including tags and alarm messages, are set in a similar fashion.
Scaling the 4-20 mA Input
The 4-20 mA input can be scaled to the appropriate values for a given application. The 4-mA input (input
1) should have a corresponding display value (display 1) which represents the low end of the process
value range being measured by the transmitter. Likewise, the 20-mA input (input 2) should have a display
value (display 2) which represents the high end of the process value range.
For example:
If the meter is setup to accept a 4-20 mA input and display the flow of a pipe whose rate of
flow is between 0 and 100 gal/s, the transmitter would send a 4-mA signal when there is zero flow and a
20-mA signal when there is maximum flow. The meter should be programmed to interpret these inputs on
a display range of 0-100, so that at 4-mA the meter will display 0 and at 20-mA the meter will display 100.
Processes which require a non-linear scale can be accommodated using the linear (
LINEAR
), exponent
(
EXPONENT
), and square root (
SQROOT
) functions available in the Advanced menu. See Signal Input
A signal source is not needed to scale the meter; simply program the inputs and corresponding display
values.
