Dynasonics TFX Ultra Transit Time Flow Meters - Manual (Page 39)

BSC MENU
BASIC – This menu contains all of the configuration parameters necessary to initially program the meter to
measure flow.
CH1 MENU CHANNEL 1 – Configures the 4-20 mA output. Applies to both the flow only and energy models.
CH2 MENU CHANNEL 2 – Configures the type and operating parameters for channel 2 output options. Channel 2
parameters are specific to the model of transmitter used.
SEN MENU SENSOR – This menu is used to select the sensor type such as DTTN or DTTS.
SEC MENU
SECURITY – This menu is utilized for resetting totalizers, returning filtering to factory settings, and revising
security the password.
SER MENU
SERVICE – The service menu contains system settings that are used for advanced configuration and zeroing
the meter on the pipe.
DSP MENU DISPLAY – The display menu is used to configure meter display functions.
The following sections define the configuration parameters located in each of the menus.
BSC MENU – BASIC MENU
The basic menu contains all of the configuration parameters necessary to make the flow meter operational.
Units Selection
UNITS — Programming Unit Selection (Choice)
ENGLSH (Inches)
METRIC (Millimeters)
Installs a global measurement standard into the memory of the instrument. The choices are either ENGLSH or METRIC units.
Select ENGLSH if all configurations are to be made in inches. Select METRIC if the meter is to be configured in millimeters.
The English/metric selection will also configure the flow meter to display sound speeds in pipe materials and liquids as either
feet per second (fps) or meters per second (mps), respectively.
MPORTANT I
If the UNITS entry has been changed from ENGLSH to METRIC or from METRIC to ENGLSH, the entry must be saved and the
instrument reset (power cycled or System Reset SYS RSET entered) in order for the flow meter to initiate the change in operating
units. Failure to save and reset the instrument will lead to improper transducer spacing calculations and an instrument that may not
measure properly.
Address
ADDRESS — Modbus Address (Value)
1…126
OTE:
N
This is for the RS485 connection only. The Modbus TCP/IP address is set via the integrated HTML application in the
Ethernet port.
Each meter connected on the communications bus must have an unique address number assigned.
Transducer Mount
XDCR MNT — Transducer Mounting Method (Choice)
V
W
Z
Selects the mounting orientation for the transducers. The selection of an appropriate mounting orientation is based on pipe
and liquid characteristics. See TRANSDUCER INSTALLATION in this manual.
