Introduction
Programming Site Data
The Model DF868 flowmeter cannot provide accurate flow rate
measurements until the instrument has been properly installed and the
basic system and pipe parameters have been programmed into the
meter. See the Startup Guide for detailed instructions on performing
these tasks. After completing the installation and initial setup, use this
chapter to program the Model DF868's advanced features.
Twelve submenus within the User Program provide access to the
various programmable features of the Model DF868. Step-by-step
programming instructions are presented in this chapter. Refer to the
appropriate section for a discussion of the following User Program
submenus:
•
ACTIV -
select the desired measurement method
•
SYSTM -
enter the system data
•
PIPE
- enter the pipe parameters
•
I/O
- set up the inputs and outputs
•
SETUP
- set the signal limits and response times
•
CLOCK
- set the time and date
•
COMM
- set the serial port parameters
•
SAVE
- save site files
•
RECLL
- recall stored site files
•
KV/SS -
enter a kinematic viscosity/signal strength
•
Tmp/KV -
enter up to three temperature vs. viscosity tables
•
SECUR - enter a passcode
As an aid in following the programming instructions, a complete
menu map of the User Program is included in Appendix A, Menu
Maps.
Note: In the menu map drawings, plain text represents prompt area
messages and boxed text represents option bar choices. Fx
represents a function key to select an option bar choice.
