Calibration
Diameter
A
This parameter is set at the factory . In the event the amplifier is replaced,
verify that the pipe diameter matches the installed pipe size .
Detector Factor
A
This parameter is set at the factory . This factor compensates for accuracy
error as a result of the installed detector .
In the event the amplifier is replaced, this parameter must be
reprogrammed with the original detector zero .
Detector Zero
A
This parameter is set at the factory .
This parameter compensates for accuracy error as a result of the installed
detector .
In the event the amplifier is replaced, this parameter must be
reprogrammed with the original detector factor .
Amplifier Factor
This parameter is set at the factory and is Read Only . This factor
compensates for accuracy error as a result of the installed amplifier .
Coil Current
This parameter is set at the factory and is Read Only . This factor
compensates for accuracy error as a result of the installed amplifier .
Scale Factor
S
Changing the scale factor lets you adjust the meter´s accuracy without disturbing parameters set
by the factory . You can tune the meter to meet changing application requirements .
Power Line Frequency
S
This parameter is set at the factory .
This parameter provides measuring immunity to industrial noise from a power supply feed .
Period
A
This parameter configures the frequency (1/4, 1…99 seconds) of sampled measurements . In other
words, if set to 15, then every 15 seconds it will sample for 208 micro seconds .
NOTE:
N
Parameters indicated by the battery icon, if changed will affect battery performance .
Standard sampling period is 15 seconds .
Empty Pipe Detection Empty Pipe ON/OFF
S
When set to ON, an Empty Pipe condition indicates to the outputs
that the meter is not completely filled . When set to OFF, empty pipe
conditions are not detected .
Threshold
S
This parameter is set at the factory and adjusted to the conductivity of
normal water .
Measure
Measures the real empty pipe value . This parameter is Read Only .
