In the PIPE GEOMETRY menu the number of tracks is defined. Here the signal converter can be
set to a 1 - 4-track system. If the signal converter is connected to a sensor with a SENSORPROM
®
unit the data in the PIPE GEOMETRY menu are read only. If the signal converter is used with a
sensor without SENSORPROM
®
unit
,
e.g. with a retrofitting kit type SONO 3110, the pipe data must
be entered here. The standard configuration of a SONO 3000 is a two-track system. It can easily
be used as one-track system or in special cases as a three or four-track system.
Using the SONO 3000 as a four-tracks system is beyond the scope of this handbook.
Please contact Siemens Flow Instruments for further information.
There is a connection between the number of tracks and which tracks may be set. If installed as a
one-track meter, the meter uses only the values set in track 1. Furthermore, it has only electrical
connections to transducers C and D. If the meter is installed as a twin-track meter, one of the tracks
can be switched off by moving to the required track and changing the setting to "OFF".
The correction factor allows the user to adjust the calibration factor by up to
±
20% by entering a
factor between 0.8 and 1.2. The factory setting is 1.
Correction factor
Cable length
If the signal converter is installed in a remote position, entering the length of the sensor cable is
necessary to compensate for the time delay occurring in the cables. The cable length is the total
length of the signal cable in one sound track. The engineering unit for the cable length is in meters.
The tolerance is
±
0,5 m.
Only required in case of an auto calibration.
