3-2 VER 8.7 Programming
Overview:
This Section of the manual provides an outline of
programming procedures for the batcher software
version 8.7. Detailed descriptions and programming
instructions for this unit are available in previous
sections of this manual. Page number references
are included to help you find related information in
this manual.
Programming Procedures:
Enter Program Mode - Press the MENU button,
“D”, in the Run Mode.
Choosing a Sub Menu - Once in the Program
Mode, continue pressing the “D” button until the
desired Sub Menu is displayed. Press “ENT” to
enter the selected Sub Menu.
Making a Selection - An arrow, “
↓”, appearing over
only the “D” button indicates that “D” is used to
change the selection. When an arrow appears
over “B” and “D”, one must be selected.
Entering a Value - The keypad is used to enter a
number. Use the “D” button to enter a decimal.
(Ex: 34.5 would be entered by pressing “3”, “4”,
“D”, and “5”)
Accept a Value or Selection - Press “ENT” to
accept the value and go to next step.
Exit Program Mode - Program or skip each step of
one of the menus to return to the Run Mode.
Pressing “ENT” allows a step to be skipped
without changing its value.
Key to Programming Flow Chart:
■ Display - This box represents the unit's
display. In the Run Mode, the flow rate, the
batch total, or the grand total will be displayed.
XX Current Value - The number that is currently
programmed for that step. It must be cleared
(CLR button) before entering a new value.
00 No Value - Indicates that programmed value
for that step has been cleared, and a new
number may be entered.
Keypad - Use the front panel keypad to enter
a value or select a decimal point location for
this step.
3-3 VER 8.7 K-Factor Programming
(See Programming Flow Chart, Page 10)
(For information on entering a K-Factor on a unit
with 16 Point Linearization, see 16 Point Linear-
ization Notes, page 11) The K-Factor is usually
provided in pulses per unit, and will have to be
modified before entering it into the unit. On most
flowmeters, the K-Factor is stamped on the name-
plate. (see section 7 for Calculating K-Factors)
Count K-Factor:
The Count K-Factor must be modified to allow for
the decimal point location chosen in the ”DEC LOC“
step.
DPF - The Decimal Point Factor is a divider to
compensate for the displayed decimal point.
DPF Table
DPF Decimal DPF Decimal
1 XXXXXX. 1000 XXX.XXX
10 XXXXX.X 10000 XX.XXXX
100 XXXX.XX 100000 X.XXXXX
Rate K-Factor:
The Rate K-Factor must be modified to display the
correct volume per time unit. The Rate K-Factor is
not affected by the decimal point location selected
in the Count menu. The decimal point displayed by
the Rate Meter floats according to the significant
figure setting used in the SIG FIG step.
TF - The Time Factor is a divider to adjust the time
units that the Rate Meter shows.
