Scale factor
The register collects input pulses from the oval gear meter and then determines the
appropriate display output using the scale factor. This scale factor varies depending upon
the viscosity of the liquid being measured, therefore calibrating the meter and register in
the appropriate liquid will affect the scale factor. The scale factor is displayed as 5 digits
(on the top row) next to the unit of measure. The scale factor consists of 1 integer digit
and 4 decimal digits (see figure 5).
1. Press the TOTAL button to select a digit (selected digits flash). After cycling
through all 5 digits of the scale factor, the register will return to the unit of measure
selection.
2. Press RESET to change the selected digit. The scale factor must fall between the
values of 0.5000 and 2.0000. The Badger Meter factory preset is set between those
values at 1.0000.
3. When finished adjusting the unit of measure and scale factor, press and hold the
TOTAL button for one second to advance to the Pulse Rate section.
NOTE:
Error checking will not allow the user to advance to the next screen.
Changing the meter pulse rate
The meter pulse rate (screen is indicated by the “I” on the top row, on the left side) is the
number of pulses per unit of measure as detected by the register. The pulse rate varies
according to the type of attached meter. The bottom row consists of the 5-digit integer
value of the meter pulse rate, whereas the top row consists of the 2-digit decimal value of
the meter pulse rate.
The meter pulse rate is entered in pulses per liter if the selected unit of measure is liters.
The meter pulse rate is entered in pulses per gallon if the selected unit of measure is
gallons, quarts or pints.
1. Press the TOTAL button to select a digit (selected digits flash). Press RESET to
change the selected digit. The pulse rate can be any value between 00000.01 and
99999.99 on the top row; integer values are displayed on the bottom row. Example:
10.45 would display .45 on the top row and 10 would be displayed on the bottom
row.
2. When finished adjusting the pulse rate, press and hold the TOTAL button for one
second to advance to the “register orientation” section.
NOTE:
Error checking will not allow the user to advance to the next screen.
