Flow Element
Select one of the following primary Flow Elements that
are stored in the firmware:
Parshall
flume sizes of
6"
,
9"
,
12"
,
18"
,
24"
,
36"
,
48"
,
60"
,
72"
,
96"
,
120" and 144"
. Palmer-Bwls (Palmer-
Bowlus) flume sizes of
4"
,
6"
,
8"
,
10"
,
12"
,
15", 18"
,
21"
,
24"
,
27"
and
30"
.
V-notch
weir sizes of
22.5°
,
30°
,
45°
,
60°
,
90° and 120°
. Rect with Ends (Rectangular Weir with
End Contractions), Rect w/o Ends (Rectangular Weir
without End Contractions), and Cipoletti weir.
Crest Length
The
Crest Length
screen only appears when the chosen
Flow Element
is Cipoletti or one of the
Rectangular
weirs.
Input this length in the user-selected level units.
Reference Dist
The
Reference Distance
is measured from the bottom of
the antenna threads to the point of zero flow in the weir
or flume. This must be measured very accurately in the
userselected level units. For some
Flow Elements
, such
as
Parshall
flumes, the
Reference Dist
is the same as the
Range
value. Weirs and some other Flow Elements will
have a
Reference Distance
that is shorter than the
Range
value.
Maximum Head
Maximum Head
is the highest liquid level (Head) value in
the flume or weir before the flow equation is no longer
valid. The
Maximum Head
is expressed in the user
selected
Level Units
. The R82 will default to the largest
Maximum Head
value that is allowed for any given flume
or weir. The
Maximum Head
value can be revised
depending on the value of the
Reference Distance
, or for
end user preference.
Maximum Flow
Maximum Flow
is a read-only value that represents the
flow value corresponding to the
Maximum Head
value for
the flume or weir.
Low Flow Cutoff
The
Low Flow Cutoff
(in user-selected level units) will
force the calculated flow value to zero whenever the
Head is below this point. This parameter will have a
default and minimum value of zero.
Totalizers: Units
The
Totalizer Units
screen is for selection of the units for
both the resettable and non-resettable totalizers. Select
Gallons
(factory default unit),
Mil Gallons
,
Liters
,
Mil Liters
,
Cubic Meters
, or
Cubic Feet
.
Totalizers: Total NR Mult
The
Total NR Mul
t screen allows selection of the multipli-
er to be used for the non-resettable totalizer. The function
of the totalizer multiplier is such that if the chosen units
are gallons and the multiplier is 100, the totalizer value
will increment one whole unit for each 100 gallons. Select
1
,
10
,
100
,
1,000
(default),
10,000
or
100,000
.
Totalizers: Totalizer NR
This is a read only screen that displays the present value
of the non-resettable totalizer.
Totalizers: Total NR Time
This is a read only screen that displays the time that has
elapsed since the non-resettable totalizer has been total-
izing flow.
