Bank Selection of Stored Parameters
The FS10A has 7 storage banks. Banks 1-6 are factory set defaults of common applications or specific factory calibrations. Bank 7 is available for
user saved parameters. Bank 0 is always the “operating” bank. Function 4 is used to move parameters from a selected bank to operational Bank 0.
Function 15 is used to store new field set-up parameters into Bank 7 for future retrieval.
Un-calibrated units are shipped with default parameters from Bank 1 active in the 0 Bank. The parameters permit operation over the entire range of
the meter as it may be applied to any gas or liquid.
Recommended Set-up Order
1. Scale the FS10A over the desired flow range — Adjustment of flow over useable range is recommended if possible. This span setting will be
reflected on the LEDs (1-10) as well as the 4-20 mA output (0% - 100%). If it is impossible to throttle the flow, it is recommended a span be
established initially with normal flow, then use the LEDs to set a trip-point below that value for low flow alarm. Dynamic Mode, FUNCTION 5,
automatically establishes the highest flow rate as the span and could be considered to aid in setup in these cases. Refer to Operating Manual
for complete instructions on using Dynamic Mode.
a.
Set the Zero using Button FUNCTION 6 (no-flow full tube is suggested in liquid service) to capture the zero point.
b. Set the Span using Button FUNCTION 7. Capture this setting while simulating highest flow rate in the tube.
2. Set the trip point using either method below:
a.
10% increment method, Button FUCNTION 1, allows setting against the 10 LEDs on the display. Each LED represents 10% of the flow
range established in 1. Flashing LED confirms value of trip point.
b. Capture method, Button FUNCTION 2, allows setting the trip-point at precisely the flow rate through the tube at the time of capture.
Flashing LED indicates approximate value of trip point.
3. Final adjustments
a.
Set Failsafe using Button FUNCTION 3; relay normally activated above trip point (default condition) or below trip point.
b. Other settings are available through the buttons if required, including hysteresis, time delay and filtering. Refer to the Operating Manual
for complete descriptions. After all adjustments are finalized, the new settings now in operational Bank 0 may be saved to Bank 7, 8 or 9
using Button FUNCTION 15.
