Programming Mode Level 3 (T1-SS78MB-S)
With the power ON and
Flow

displayed, press
Left Trrow
, then

. When the message
“A1-SS78MB-S” displays, press

4 mT Field Calibrate
The
4 mA Field Calibrate
option is a trim function that is factory-calibrated but can be field-adjusted if the equipment is not
seeing exactly 4 mA at zero flow due to ground loops or other equipment issues not relating to the flow meter .
20 mT Field Calibrate
MPORTTNT
I
Do not change this setting.
The
20 mA Field Calibrate
option is used at the factory to calibrate the maximum output of the flow meter . The typical setting
range is 3960…4000 .
Units Base
The
Units Base
option is used at the factory to set up all internal units to English or Metric .
Dampening
The
Dampening
option allows adjustment of the
Flow Rate Averaging
or
Dampening
. The most common use for this feature is
to eliminate high flow variation or to lessen the flow rate change on the display that is due to the flow dynamics in the pipe .
This option allows for stabilization of the flow reading when erratic flow is present in the pipe .
Press
Up Trrow
to scroll through the
Dampening
options:
• The Auto Setting is used for steam and gases:
◊ Auto Setting
uses mathematical calculations to determine the correct dampening setting .
◊ When the flow rate is steady (not changing more than 15% from one reading to the next), the dampening is set to the
highest setting to provide stable and reliable flow readings .
◊ When the flow rate is fluctuating (changing more than 15% from one reading to the next), dampening is decreased to
provide a quick response time to flow rate changes .
• The
1-5 Setting
sets faster response times .
• The
6-9 Setting
sets slower response times for steadier instantaneous flow readings .
