The delete break-point sub-function 'dEL' operates
in exactly the same way as the 'Add' sub-function
described  above.      Once  within  the  ‘dEL’  sub-
function each time the 

P

 button is pressed a break-

point is removed.  When deleting a break-point from
a  calibrated  Rate  Totaliser,  the  break-point  to  be
deleted can be selected using the 

 and 

 push

buttons.  The minimum number of break-point is 2,
break-points '0

:

1' and '1

:

1'.

When  the  required  number  of  linearising  break-
points has been entered, return to the linearisation
sub-menu  by  pressing  

E

.    

The  Rate Totaliser  will

display the 'Add' or 'dEL' prompt depending upon the
last function used.    Using the 'Pts' sub-function the
input current at which each break-point occurs and
the corresponding rate display may now be defined.

Using the 

 or 

 button select the  'PtS' function

in the sub-menu and press  

P

   to enter the function

which will display the first break-point '0

:

n', where n

is  the  total  number  of  linearising  break-points
entered – see Fig 8.  The selected linearising break-
point can be changed using the 

 and 

 buttons.

When the required linearising break-point has been
selected set the Rate Totaliser input current to the
exact value at which the break-point is required and
press  

P*

.     Using the 

 and 

 buttons and the  

P

button  to  move  between digits,  enter  the  required
Rate  display  at  this  break-point.    When  set  as
required,  press  the  

E

 

push  button

 

to  enter  the

required  rate  display  and  return  to  the  sub-menu
from which the next beak-point can be selected.

When  all  the  break-points  have  been  calibrated
pressing 

E

 

twice will return the Rate Totaliser to the

‘CAL’ function in the configuration menu.

Note:

*

 The Rate Totaliser input current must be 

adjusted to the required value before the  

P

 button is operated to enter the required 

indicator display.

Error message

If  during  calibration  the  Rate  Totaliser
displays a 'FAiL' error message the current
at which the selected break-point is being
set  is  not  above  the  proceeding  break-
point or is not below the following break-
point.

7.1.1  Example, Adding break-points to a new
          Rate Totaliser

When adding break-points to a new Rate Totaliser,
or  to  a lineariser  following  resetting to the  factory
defaults  using  the  'LtAb'  function  described  in
section 6.19, each additional break-point should be
added before the highest existing breakpoint.    The
first additional break-point should be added before
the  default  break-point  '1

:

1'  which  will  result  in  a

display  of  '1

:

2'.      If  more  new  break-points  are

required, using the 

 button select the new highest

break-point  '2

:

2'  and  add  the  second  additional

break-point by  operating  the  

P

 push  button  which

will result in a display of '2

:

3'.  Repeat the sequence

until the required number of break-points has been
entered.   

The  input  current  and  at  which  each  break-point
occurs and the corresponding indicator display may
now be entered as described above. 

7.2  Lineariser calibration using the internal 
       reference.

The  ‘SEt’  function  enables  the  lineariser  to  be
calibrated without the need for an accurate external
current  source.    Throughout  the  calibration  the
indicator input current may be any value between 4
and 20mA.    

The ‘SEt’ functions contains four sub-functions. 

Display      Description of function

'Add'

Add a break-point

Adds  a  new  break-point  before  the
displayed break-point.  The calibration of
existing break-points is not changed, but
the  identification  number  of  all
subsequent  break-point  is  increased  by
one.

'dEL'

Remove a break-point

Removes the displayed break-point   and
joins  the  preceding  segment  to  the
following  segment  with  a  straight  line.
The  identification  number  of  all
subsequent break-points is decreased by
one.

'in' 

Defines  the  current  at  which  break-
point occurs.

Enables  the  required  current  at  each
break-point to be defined without having
to input an accurate input current to the
indicator.

'diSP'

Defines   indicator   display   at   break-
point.

Enables  the  indicator  display  at  each
break-point to be defined.

The number of break-point required should first be
entered using the 'Add' and 'dEL'  sub-functions.  In
both  these  sub-functions  the  indicator  initially
displays  the  current  break-point  and  the  total
number of break-point being used as shown below.
