u
To establish a non-zero starting value for the spoken reading, add the
desired starting spoken value after the 7 and before ENTER.
u
To establish a scale factor (so that a number of pulses will be translated
into a single spoken unit count), press:
5 ZZ 8 N ENTER
where N is the number of pulses corresponding to a single spoken unit
count. For example, if a pulse from a flow meter occurs for each 1/10
gallon of water flow, but the desired report is needs to be in thousands of
gallons, a value of 10,000 would be used for N. The unit uses the word
“percent” in speaking of the scale factor.
The spoken scaled value will “roll over” to zero upon reaching 4,294,967,294
(2
32
). Values above this should not be entered at the keyboard.
The default message for Totalizer channels is “Channel N Totalizer count is N.”
User-recorded messages are normally done in two segments. Use program code
1 ZZ to record a preamble message such as “The total water flow reading is”.
Use program code 2 ZZ to record an ending units-of-measure message such as
“thousand gallons”. During the report, the unit will insert the digits comprising
the actual scaled value. In this example, the resulting complete report would be
“The total water flow reading is (spoken value) thousand gallons”.
u
To establish a Totalizer alarm set-point, press:
5 ZZ 6 N ENTER.
When the scaled value reaches N, the unit will go into Unacknowledged Alarm
and begin dialing. After the initial alarm has occured, a new alarm will not
occur until the user has reset the criteria. You may program a value of zero for
N to cancel any previously programmed Totalizer alarm set-point for channel
ZZ.
u
To clear out all Totalizer readings to zero in one step, press:
9 3 5 6 ENTER.
6.2.6 Alarm Trip Delays
The Alarm Trip Delay is the length of time after a violation occurs before the
unit goes into Unacknowledged Alarm and begins dialing. The default value is
2 seconds for all inputs and 0.1 minute (6 seconds) for power failure. During
this time, if a status is read, the message will be the ALARM message, with the
extra word “alert” appended. If the violation is corrected before the Alarm Trip
Delay times out, no alarm or dialout will occur.
There are two ways to change this Alarm Trip Delay: global (common for all
channels except power failure) programming, and individual programming for
each channel and power failure.
