4220 Flow Meter
Section 2 Programming
2-34
The level- to-flow rate data for such devices is usually available
from the manufacturer. From this data the flow meter can create
a flow conversion based on the relationship between the level and
flow rate. After the FLOW RATE UNITS menu has appeared, the
next menu is:
Then:
After you have entered the data point set the following will
appear:
UNITS, SAVE will also appear if you move the flashing cursor
with the right arrow key. USE will only appear after four points
have been entered. USE tells the flow meter that the set is com-
plete and can be used for the flow rate calculation.
Select EDIT POINT if you need to change either the level or the
flow value for a particular data point.
Select ADD POINT if you want to add another point to a data set.
CLEAR will erase an entire set of data points from the flow
meter's memory.
PRINT will make the flow meter print out the entire data set.
UNITS allows you to set or change the units of measure used in
the data set. Note that you can only set UNITS if the set is
empty, or you have cleared it. You cannot change the units once
you have entered data points into a set unless you clear it and
start over.
SAVE tells the flow meter to save the data set as it is.
If you select either EDIT POINT or ADD POINT, the following
display will appear:
Enter Maximum Head - All Models
Before advancing from step 2 (Flow Conversion) to step 3 (Adjust
Ports), the flow meter will request that you enter a value for
Maximum Head (Level) for the device or flow conversion you
are using.
For most standard measuring devices this information is pub-
lished or is available from the device manufacturer. Note that
you should not arbitrarily use the largest value available.
Instead, use the value that is the largest expected level for
your actual situation, even if this is less than the published
maximum.
