1
If data is not transmitting, select “View” “Settings” to select the
active COM port (1-4), then shut down and restart VIP. If necessary,
verify that your computer’s
Serial Port
has the correct Serial Cable
Port Settings. Open Control Panel (Start, Control Panel). Then select
System, Hardware, Device Manager, Ports (COM & LPT), Communi -
cations, Port Settings.
Bits per Second:
19200
Data Bits:
8
Parity:
None
Stop Bits:
1
Flow Control:
None
2
If bottom of VIP screen is not visible (i.e., prompt not visible, and
flow rate and total and temperature not visible), change computer
to a 96 font DPI setting (Control Panel, Display, Settings, Advanced,
DPI Settings, 96).
3
If you change Max Val higher than original (Full Scale) calibration
range, you may lose some accuracy since the calibration data is now
being extrapolated. However, it allows the Flow Rate Display to con -
tinue, and also resets the 4-20mA to the new setting. Contact Sage
for details.
4
K-factor (304) affects display, and recomputes Max Val (210) to
maintain original 4-20mA setting. If new 4-20mA setting desired
to track display, then change Max Val (210) back to original setting.
(i.e., if original Max Value was 100, a K factor of .5 changes Max
Value to 50.) See next section for more detail.
5
Do not change item 306. See item 619 to change filtering. Note
item 702 adjusts update period, and often is useful if the issue
relates to display or output changing too rapidly.
6
Reset Total resets the totalizer to zero. If you want to disable the
totalizer, see footnote 11 on this page. Also see note 10 on page 71.
7
Newer versions of the meters may have some changes in Menu 600.
Contact Factory for latest version. (
Note:
The 600 Menu is primarily
used by the Factory, except for item 619 which adjusts filtering [useful to
dampen fluctuating flows.])
8
If Factory authorizes entering of new coefficients, it is best to use
VIP software to enter values in 613 to 618 rather than keypad to
prevent truncating of least significant digits.
9
User may press A,B,C,D (uppercase) in VIP to instantly switch
channels.
10
(Low Value=Fast, High Value=Slow, Factory Default=10. Affects
display and 4-20mA outputs.)
11
Clears the Totalizer when Ext Select C terminal is momentarily
grounded. To completely disable totalization, then jumper Ext
Select C terminal (Terminal 15 SIG/SRG Series to ground).
12
Provides custom text upon start up.
13
Provides custom engineering units.
