Once entered, the USIP responds with the following Range 2 value: 

 
 

 

2:  0.50 < n < 3.75

 

 
 

This is a default range and allows the user to enter the proper range shown on the 
provided fan calibration certificate. Range 2 for a three equation fan rating is listed 
as the second range given for the second equation listed.  Refer to 

Appendix D

 for 

an example.  Again, any numbers up to 9.99 can be used for the range and only 
numbers can be entered.  After entering the Range 2 value, press the 

<CR>

 key on 

the keyboard.  The USIP responds with the final Range 3 value which the user is 
not required to enter: 

 
 

 

3:  n > 3.75

 

 

 

 
Step 7:

 

After entry of the Range values, the user presses the 

<CR>

 key and the USIP 

responds with the first rating equation for the meter: 

 
 

1: 2.2048[n]+0.0178

 

 
 

The first number shown on the line is the rating equation number.  Up to three 
equations can be shown depending on the user’s response to the ‘

Number of 

Equations…

’ entry.  For data entry position and control, the following keys can 

be used: 

 

-

 

The ‘

Space bar

’ key moves the cursor position forward without changing the 

number. 

-

 

The ‘

Backspace

’ key moves the cursor position backwards without changing 

the number. 

-

 

The ‘

Enter

’ or ‘

Carriage Return

’, 

<CR>

 key accepts the entry and moves to 

the next data entry element. 

 

When a number is entered, the cursor automatically positions to the next number 
entry position.  For the sign, the USIP will only recognize the ‘

+

’ or ‘

-

‘ keys.  

When the entry is completed, press the 

<CR>

 key to go to the next rating 

equation.  For any rating equation, the maximum allowable number for the first 
term (slope) is 6.5535.  The maximum allowable number for the second term 
(intercept) is 0.9999.  At the completion of the entry, pressing the 

<CR>

 accepts 

the complete entry and displays the next equation (if there is more than one), 
otherwise the USIP moves to the beginning (

Step 2

 above) to choose meter ‘

B

’ or 

review and make entry changes to meter ‘

A

’ or to request a Summary. 

 

Note:  Incorrect or unreasonable entries can give unexpected results 

for velocity calculations.  Be sure to provide the proper entries 
for these ratings.
