•
Each SD-Z simulates 50 feet (15.24 m) of cable.
•
Each X-Connector (XCON) simulates 150 feet (45.72 m) of cable.
8.
Divide the Leg 2 resistance by the total length of cable. This value is the resistance of
the cable installed on your system in Ohms per foot. This Ohms per foot value is for
your reference only (the Ohms per foot value will have a decimal point in it, and you
cannot write a number with a decimal point to register 40008). Record this value.
9.
Multiply the value in Ohms per foot by 1000. This will give you the value in milliOhms
per foot. This milliOhms per foot value is your end result, and the number you will
write to Modbus register 40008. Record this value.
10.
Access your Modbus-enabled system. Write the milliOhms per foot resistance value to
the Aqualeak
10K’s Modbus register
40008.
Example
•
The Leg 2 resistance reading on the system is 2091 Ohms.
•
The system has:
•
400 feet of sensor cable.
•
1 X-Connector, which simulates 150 feet (45.72 m) of sensor cable.
•
4 SD-Zs which simulate 50 feet (15.24 m) of cable each, for a total simulation of
200 feet (61 m) of sensor cable.
•
Therefore, system-wide, there are 750 feet of actual and simulated cable.
•
Divide 2091 Ohms by 750 feet of cable. You get a resistance of 2.788 Ohms per
foot.
•
Multiply 2.789 Ohms per foot by 1000 to get 2788 milliOhms per foot.
•
Access Modbus register 40008 and record the new milliOhms per foot value, 2788.
