OPERATION
The
Gauge Update Rate
menu allows the user to
change the display update rate to improve battery
life. The menu is shown to the right.
The user can use the “NEXT” and “PREV” buttons
to navigate to an update selection. Pressing the
“SEL” button will select change the update rate to
the current selection. The selections are: 1 every 10
minutes, 1 every 5 minutes, 1 every minute, 1 every
30 seconds, 1 every 15 seconds, and 4 per second.
The gauge must be in 4 per second mode to use
the logging function
. Also if one of the lower update
rates is used it is possible to get update in between the timed updates by pressing the
“SAMP” button. When a lower update rate is selected, the status will be show between
RTD 2 and Pressure Units area of the display. The status will show “LP-W” which is Low
Power Waiting or “LP-S” which is Lower Power Sampling.
Pressing the “DONE” button at the menu top level will save the changes to permanent
memory. The eGauge will continue the boot up process.
It will take approximately 30 seconds for it to process through the diagnostics, verification
and zeroing process, during the course of this procedure the display will indicate at what
point in the process the gauge is. The display will briefly indicate the full scale pressure
of installed transducer, serial number, date of last calibration, current date and time, and
the barometric pressure reading. During startup the display will show in the status field
calibrating zero, calibrating RTD, calibrating bar (barometric), and the estimated run time
remaining in the batteries, the hours of operation are based on four batteries installed in
the gauge. The gauge will now be operational indicating the pressure reading, which
should be zero (or if in absolute the barometric pressure), a temperature reading of a RTD
if one is attached.
During the course of startup, if a problem is detected the gauge will terminate and indicate
an error. (See list of error codes).
If this occurs, turn the gauge OFF, wait 2 minutes,
verify pressure is not being applied to the static pressure sensor, and turn the gauge
back on, if problem continues, contact the factory for further assistance.
Note: If the gauge is turned off, wait at least 2 minutes before turning it back on. Allow
the gauge a minimum of 45 seconds to go through the self-diagnostics, verification and
auto-zero functions. Turning the gauge ON while pressure is being applied to the Static
sensor will NOT damage the gauge but a ZERO error will occur because the auto-zero
function will perceive a problem and shut gauge down.
