TOTALIZER B RESET ACTION
When Totalizer B is reset, it returns to zero or Totalizer B count load value.
This reset action affects all Totalizer B resets, except the Setpoint Totalizer Auto
Reset in Module 6.
TOTALIZER B DECIMAL POSITION
This selects the decimal point position for Totalizer B, Totalizer B Count
Load values, and any setpoint value assigned to Totalizer B. The selection will
also affect Totalizer B scale factor calculations. This parameter does not appear
if Totalizer C is enabled.
TOTALIZER B SCALE FACTOR
The number of input counts is multiplied by the scale factor and the scale
multiplier to obtain the desired process value. A scale factor of 1.00000 will
result in the display of the actual number of input counts. (Details on scaling
calculations are explained at the end of this section.)

TOTALIZER B SCALE MULTIPLIER
The number of input counts is multiplied by the scale multiplier and the scale
factor to obtain the desired process value. A scale multiplier of 1 will result in
only the scale factor affecting the display. (Details on scaling calculations are
explained at the end of this section.)
TOTALIZER B COUNT LOAD VALUE
When reset to count load action is selected, Totalizer B will reset to this
value.
TOTALIZER B RESET AT POWER-UP
Totalizer B may be programmed to reset at each meter power-up.

SCALING CALCULATIONS
Each totalizer has the ability to scale an input signal to a desired display
value. This is accomplished by the totalizer mode (x-
), scale factor
(x
), scale multiplier (x
) and decimal point (x
). The scale
factor is calculated using:
SF (x
) = Desired Display Decimal DDD
(Number of pulses per ‘single’ unit x TM x SM)

: Totalizer Mode(x-
) times factor of the mode 1,2 or 4.
SM
: Scale Multiplier (x
) selection of 1, 0.1 or 0.01.
Example:
1. Show feet to the hundredths (0.00) with 100 pulses per foot:
Scale Factor would be 100 / (100 x 1 x 1) = 1
(In this case, the scale multiplier and totalizer mode factor are 1)
2. Show feet with 120 pulses per foot: Scale Factor would be 1 / (120 x 1 x 1)
= 0.0083333. (In this case, the scale multiplier of 0.01 could be used: 1 / (120
x 1 x 0.01) = 0.83333 or show to hundredths (0.00): 100 / (120 x 1 x 1) =
0.8333.)
General Rules on Scaling
1. It is recommended that, the scale factor be as close as possible to, but not
exceeding 1.00000. This can be accomplished by increasing or decreasing
the totalizer decimal point position, using the scale multiplier, or selecting a
different totalizer mode.
2. To double the number of pulses per unit, use totalizer modes direction X2 or
quad X2. To increase it by four times, use totalizer mode quad X4. Using
these modes will decrease the maximum input frequency.
3. A scale factor greater than 1.00000 will cause Totalizer display rounding. In
this case, digit jumps could be caused by the internal count register rounding
the display. The precision of a totalizer application cannot be improved by
using a scale factor greater than 1.00000.
4. The number of pulses per single unit must be greater than or equal to the
DDD value for the scale factor to be less than or equal to one.
5. Lowering the scale factor can be accomplished by lowering the totalizer
decimal position. (Example: 100 (Hundredths)/10 pulses = 10.000 lowering
to 10 (Tenths)/10 = 1.000.)
8 DIGIT TOTALIZER VALUES
Any totalizer display value below -99999 or above 999999 (less decimal
point) will consist of a two part display. This display alternates between the 6
least significant digits and the remaining most significant digits beginning with
“
” in the display. If the display exceeds ± 99999999 the display will flash
to indicate an 8 digit overflow. Outputs cannot be set to totalizer values
above 6 digits. The annunciator, indicating the totalizer being displayed, will
flash when the value is above 6 digits.
Select the operating mode for Totalizer B.

Count X1
Adds Input B falling edge.
Count X1
w/direction*
Adds Input B falling edge if User 2 is high.
Subtracts Input B falling edge if User 2 is low.
Quad X1*
Adds Input B rising edge when User 2 is high.
Subtracts Input B falling edge when User 2 is high
Quad X2*
Adds Input B rising edge when User 2 is high and
Input B falling edge when User 2 is low. Subtracts
Input B falling edge when User 2 is high and Input
B rising edge when User 2 is low.
Count X2
Adds Input B rising and falling edges.
Count X2
w/direction*
Adds Input B rising and falling edges if User 2 is
high. Subtracts Input B rising and falling edge if
User 2 is low.
* Dual Count mode (
), where Inputs A and B are both used for count
signals. User 2 accepts Input B direction or quadrature signal.
