1.1    General

This manual covers the wiring and programming of the digital display which is installed directly in the flow meter housing (Option RW3) and also the accessory digital display for remote mounting (Model DR-1). See page 4 "Output to Flow Chart" for transmitter calibration details (Options W2, W3 or RW3) and M2 for transmitter (Option W).

The display provides up 4 1/2 digits for rate and 8 digits for totalization. The display incorporates a microprocessor for scaling and selectable square root extraction. An isolated, scaled open collector output is included for operating a remote contact closure for remote totalization. See figure 3 to convert this output to a voltage output.

The remote digital display (DR-1) requires a 4-20mA signal which is provided by transmitter options W2, W3 or W. The W2, W3 and RW3 are a 2-wire loop powered (square root function) device where as the W option is a 4-wire linear transmitter output, an external 24Vdc power supply is required (Option PS-24).

Ent CodE: (enter code) This prompt will only appear if the panel lock is ON. Enter the password code to enter the program menu. Press the ▲ key to increment each digit code. Press the ◄ key to step to the next digit to the left. Press the E key to enter the 4 digit code. If the entered code is correct, the display will advance to the next menu prompt (Clr tot). If incorrect, the display will return to the run mode. To override the lock code or if you forgot your password enter 2910 to access the menu or change password.

Clr tot: (clear total) Clears (resets) totalizer. Press the E key to clear the total and return to the run mode. Press the M key to skip and advance to the next menu selection.

3 or 4: (3.5 or 4.5 digits) Choose between 3.5 or 4.5 digit rate display. Press the ▲ key to step to the desired choice. Press the E key to enter the displayed choice (factory set at 4.5).

dEC Loc: (decimal location for ratemeter) Sets the decimal location for the ratemeter and the rAtE Lo & rAtE Hi settings. Press the ◄ key to move the decimal. Press the E key to enter the displayed decimal location.

tDEC: (totalizer decimal) Sets the decimal location for the totalizer. The totalizer decimal is not a dummy decimal and will scale the totalizer display accordingly. (i.e. if the tdec is set in the tenths position (1234567.8), 100 will be displayed as 100.0). The location of the decimal point allows for greater resolution of both the totalizer display and the pulse output. The pulse output advances at a rate dependent on the least significant digit of the totalizer. The totalizer decimal location is restricted to a maximum of 4 pplaces (1234.5678).

tot dESC: (totalizer descriptor) This allows you to illuminate one of the available descriptors on the display (GAL, LIT, FT3, M3 or "blank"). Press the ▲ key to select the descriptor. Press the E key to enter the selected descriptor (Based on flow meter model number).

rAt dESC: (ratemeter descriptor / scaling) Sets the rate readout. Choose rate per hour, minutes, seconds or "blank" (when no descriptor is selected the unit assumes that the rate lo and rate hi are entered in units per second). Press the ◄ key to step to the desired choice. Press the E key to enter the illuminated descriptor (Based on flow meter model number).

CAL: (calibrate; yes or no) Select Yes to calibrate the unit, select NO to skip the calibration procedure. Press the ▲ key to select YES or NO. Press the E key to enter the displayed selection.

IMPORTANT: The factory calibrates all flow meters based on the flow meter model number calibration can only be performed with a known flow standard that corresponds to the full scale flow rate of the flow meter.

CAL Lo: (calibrate low) Apply an accurate 4mA signal at (no flow) to the input and Press the E key. If the calibration is successful the unit will display "donE CAL Lo". If the calibration is not successful the display will read "donE CAL Err" see error codes page 8. Press the M key to continue.

CAL Hi: ( calibrate high) apply an accurate 20mA signal (full scale flow rate) to input and Press the E key.If the calibration is successful the unit will display "donE CAL Hi". If the calibration is not successful the display will read "donE CAL Err" see error codes page 8. Press the M key to continue.

LoC CodE: ( lock code) Sets the 4 digit lock code to be entered when the unit prompts Ent CodE. This allows the user to gain access to the menu when the unit is locked. Press the ▲ key to increment each digit. Press the ◄ key to step to the next digit to the left. Press the E key to enter the displayed code.

Record this number here for later use! LOCK CODE__________________ (Override Code: 2910)

LoC unit: (lock unit) Sets the panel lock ON or OFF. Press the ▲ key to select YES (ON) or NO (OFF). Press the E key to enter the displayed selection.

NOTE: A hardware jumper menu lockout is also available (see figure 2). The hardware jumper does not inhibit contact closure reset at terminals 3 and 4.

Output to Flow Chart

Connect multimeter in series with the current loop. With pipline pressurized, adjust zero pot until current output reads 4.00 mA ± 0.02 mA at no flow. Establish a known flow rate through the flow meter as close to 95% of full scale as practical. Set span using the formula below.

Set span, span is set using the following formula: I = 16 Q² + 4.00; where I = current output in mA, Q = decimal % of full scale. Click here to access calculator.

% FS Current Output % FS Current Output
20 4.64 70 11.84
30 5.44 80 14.24
40 6.56 90 16.96
50 8.00 95 18.44
60 9.76 100 20.00

inPut: (input type) Choose linear (Lin) for transmitter (Option "W") or square root extraction (59.u) for transmitter Options W2, W3 or RW3). Press the ▲ key to step to the desired input type. Press the E key to enter the displayed choice (Based on flow meter model number).

rAtE Lo: (rate low) Sets the low setting for the 4-20mA analog input. Key in the low rate value which corresponds to the 4mA input (factory setting is 0000). Press the ▲ key to increment each digit. Press the ◄ key to step to the next digit to the left. Press the E key to enter the displayed rate lo value.

rAtE Hi: (rate high) Sets the high setting for the 4-20mA analog input. Key in the high rate value which corresponds to 20mA input (Based on flow meter model number full scale flow rate). Press the ▲ key to increment each digit. Press the ◄ key to step to the next digit to the left. Press the E key to enter the displayed rate hi value.

Lo Cut: (low cutoff) Percent of input (0.1 to 9.9) below which all inputs will assume the rate lo value. (i.e. With Lo Cut set 9.9 and rAte Lo set at 0, all inputs below 5.6mA will read 0). Factory set at 2.2 to reflect lowest reading possible approximately 15% of full scale.

PuLSEout: (pulse out divider) This allows the unit to output a pulse for each least significant total count divided by the selected divider. The pulse out can be divided by 1 (d1), 10 (d 10), 100 (d 100) or off (oFF). With the divider set at 1, the unit will give a pulse out for every increment of the LCD displayed.

ERROR CODE

This error message is displayed when the "RATE LO" value is set equal to or higher than the "RATE HI" value. Press the M to re-enter the "RATE LO' and "RATE HIGH" values.

 

This error message is displayed when the "CAL LO" or "CAL HI" input is set at a value which is out of range (see "CAL LO" and "CAL HI" in programming section for calibrating input range). Press M to re-enter the "CAL LO" and/or "CAL HI" procedure.

If a low battery / invalid memory condition is detected, the display will flash and the "BAT" descriptor will come on. Press M to acknowledge the condition. E BATTERY will be displayed. Replace the battery with loop power connected, the unit must be recalibrated if loop power was not maintained.

This error message is displayed when the total is advancing at a speed greater than the pulse output capability. Choose a greater pulse divider or select "OFF".

Recommended battery: Panasonic BR2330 3V 250mA-H Lithium (2 yr, standby life)

The polarity of the battery must be correct. Plus (+) must be on top as indicated on the conductor arm.

Note: Power the unit from the 4-20mA loop while the battery is being replaced to avoid the need to recalibrate the unit. If the loop power was not maintained the unit will return to the default settings, all menu items must be re-entered. Return to section 3 and follow the programming example to re-enter all menu items based on your model number (see nameplate label for model number details).
