GAS TRACKER INSTALLATION & OPERATION MANUAL
Alerts Setup
▶ To set up alerts, click the
Alerts
button on the
Setup
page. Six alerts can be configured.
The alerts are as follows:
Peak Flow, Low Flow, Low Consumption, Cylinder Low,
High Flow, and High Consumption
. Set the threshold by clicking on the appropriate alert.
Use the keypad to type the desired setting and click
OK
. Each of the alerts must be
configured separately from one another. Repeat the steps until the alerts are
established to the user’s preference.
▶ Alerts can be disabled by clicking the disable button under each alert threshold configuration.
▶ Alerts are updated at the completion of a weld.
▶ Alerts will be seen on the
Home
page as they appear. Alerts that are in a green box
means there was no alert. Alerts that are represented in a yellow box show the value fell
out of the predetermined range.
▶ Click the backwards arrow to return to the
Setup
page.
Outputs Setup
▶ The
Gas Tracker
is capable of 4 outputs mimicking a normally-open relay.
▶ Each output can be mapped to 1 of the 4 pins.
▶ The output options are as follows:
Always Off, Always On, Heartbeat, High Flow,
Low Flow, Low/High Flow, High Peak Flow, Low Consumed, High Consumed,
Low/High Consumed, Cylinder Low.
▶ Outputs are further discussed in
Appendix B
.
Modbus Setup
▶ Modbus is the ability to query information from the unit. It Is best suited for interfacing
with a PLC.
▶ The Modbus explanation and setup instructions are found in
Appendix A
.
Operation and Use
Viewing the Home page
▶ Click the
Home
button on the screen to go to the main page. The main page shows the
most recent weld that has been completed.
▶ The current flow rate is shown under the
Gas Flow
header along with the appropriate
units. This can be tested by purging the gas. The
Gas Flow
will show the real time gas
value. The
Gas Tracker
is designed to only record gas consumed when the flow rate is
above 5 CFH (2.3 LPM). The duration of the last event is only recorded when the gas
is above the 5 CFH (2.3 LPM) threshold.
▶ Under the
Last Weld
header is the information for the most recent weld. This includes
Duration, Average Flow Rate, Peak Flow,
and
Gas Consumed
. This information will show
data from the most recent gas flow event.
Viewing Alerts
▶ The alerts are shown at the bottom of the
Home
page. If the box with the alert name is
green, there was no alert. If the box is yellow, it signifies there was an alert with that
weld. Any alerts that are triggered for the most recently completed weld will be shown
on the
Home
page.
