C.5.4d Temperature Input
The XGS868i can use either a fixed temperature value or a live temperature input to calculate the density for the mass flow
rate display.
1. Double-click on a Fixed temperature value or to set up the option card in Slot 1 that will supply the live
temperature input and click [Next Item].
Note: If Slot 1 contains an activated option card with an analog input assigned to
appears as an option at the above prompt. If the process temperature is stable, a fixed value may be used, but
most applications require a live temperature input. If there is no active option card for temperature, the meter
assumes you are using a fixed temperature.
2. Proceed to one of the following sections:
•
If you selected Fixed - proceed to Step 3.
•
If you selected Slot 1 - proceed to Step 4.
3. Enter the known Fixed Temp. (process temperature) and click [Next Item]. The meter will accept values from
–328° to 1,832°F (–200° to 1,000°C). Proceed to Base Temperature below.
4. Select Input A or Input B and click [Next Item]. The inputs were labeled during setup.
Note: The set up of Input A is used as an example. Identical procedures would be used to set up Input B.
C.5.4e Base Temperature
1. Enter the Base Temperature and click [Next Item]. The ratio of this value to the actual temperature is used to
calculate the standard mass flow rate.
2. Do one of the following:
If you selected Pressure as the Input Type, proceed to Pressure Input on the next page.
•
If you selected Temperature as the Input Type, proceed to Base Pressure on the next page.
