Flow Total Index Enter the reading from the meter at installation

so the total in PrimeLog will be consistent with the meter.

Low Flows Select this checkbox if the meter will send less than

one pulse per minute.

Logging Functions Modify the logging function selection to

setup the appropriate function. Average & Total data can be logged
independently.

Show Events Select this checkbox to program the PrimeLog to

record/provide notification based on internal (threshold) events or to
trigger an output on the logger based on control output events.

Rain Gauge This involves logging only when a specific amount of
rainfall accumulates in a rain gauge tipping bucket. The user must
designate the amount of rainfall required to cause the tipping
mechanism in the bucket to tip.

Pump This involves logging only when a user-defined high or low
indicates a pump is on or off. The user also must designate the flow rate
at which the pump turns on.

Overflow This involves logging only when a user-defined high or low
indicates an overflow state.

Analog Screen Description

Select the type of sensor (Transducer/Voltage/Current).

Transducer Enter the PCal for the transducer. Select the Autozero
on Program
checkbox to remove the atmospheric offset when
programming the logger.

Voltage Enter the minimum scale and maximum scale values in user
units and the offset in volts that the minimum scale represents.

Current Enter the minimum scale and full scale values in user units
and the offset in mA that the minimum scale represents.

Note: When using analog inputs on a PrimeLog, use the correct cable
to connect to the logger source. Current and voltage cables cannot be
interchanged. Improper use could cause internal damage to the logger.
It also is important to use a voltage cable of the appropriate rating. Do
not apply a 10-volt source using a 2-volt or 5-volt cable. This will
overload the logger.

The user can select an application for all analog sensors. This will determine
what is logged by the logger. When using a depth transducer to measure open
channel flow, both the depth and the derived flow will be saved during
readback.
