SP4000 Flow Computer

5.2 General Operation
This instrument is used primarily to monitor flowrate and accumulated total. The inputs
can be software configured for a variety of flowmeter, temperature and pressure sensors.
The standard output types include: Pulse, Relay, Analog and RS-232 The unit can
display the flowrate, total and process variables. RS-485 is an available option for a
second communication channel.
5.3 Password Protection
After an Private and/or Service Code is entered in the "System Parameters" Submenu
Group. (see section 6.3, Private Code and Service Code sub-menus), the unit will be
locked. The unit will prompt the user for the password when trying to perform the
following functions:
Clear Totals
Clear Grand Totals (service code required)
Edit a Setup Menu Item
Edit Alarm Setpoints (ALARM 1 & ALARM 2 Keys)
The Service Code should be reserved for service technicians. The Service Code will
allow access to restricted areas of the Service and Test menus. Changes in these
areas may result in lost calibration information.
5.4 Relay Operation
Two relay alarm outputs are standard. The relays may also be used for pulse outputs.
The relays can be assigned to trip according to various rate, total, temperature or
pressure readings. The relays can be programmed for low/high alarms, latch or unlatch,
or as relay pulse outputs.
ALARM SETPOINT 1 (RLY1) and ALARM SETPOINT 2 (RLY2) are easily accessible
by pressing the ALARM 1 or ALARM 2 key on the front panel.
5.5 Pulse Output
The isolated pulse output is menu assignable to any of the available totals. The pulse
output duration and scaling can be set by the user. The pulse output is ideal for
connecting to remote totalizers or other devices such as a PLC. See section 1.2 for
electrical specifications.
5.6 Analog Outputs
The analog outputs are menu assignable to correspond to any of the process parameters.
The outputs are menu selectable for 0-20 mA or 4-20 mA. The analog outputs are ideal
for "trend" tracking using strip chart recorders or other devices.
