1. Description

The signet 8150 Flow Totalizer is a battery-powered instrument capable of providing uninterrupted ﬂ ow and total volume information for 4 years and beyond. The unique features of the 8150 include:

• Easy setup and display selection with 4-button keypad

• User selectable security access to prevent unwanted programming changes.

• Displays ﬂ ow rate from 0.001 to 9999 engineering units with an auto-ranging decimal point.

• Three totalizers, one permanent and two that are independently resettable.

• Displays elapsed time between operating periods.

• Integral mount and panel mount options

• 3.6 V Lithium batteries last 4 years nominal in most applications.

• Non-volatile memory stores all programming and totalizer values even when batteries are removed.

3.3 Conduit base Assembly Detail

1. Insert the wires from the sensor through the yellow conduit base and locking ring.

2. Insert the locking ring into the conduit base, aligning it so that the square tab is close to the conduit ports.

3. Insert the mounting screw into the conduit base so the head of the screw presses down on the locking ring when tightened.

4. Connect sensor wires to the terminal connections on the integral totalizer or terminal cover.

5. For remote assembly, connect output wires to terminal cover output.

6. Route the output wires through the conduit port in the conduit base. Use a liquid-tight connector or conduit connector to prevent moisture from entering the assembly.

7. Place totalizer or cover onto conduit base and twist to lock in place.

3.6 Panel Mount Installation Detail

• The 8150 Panel-mount Totalizer is a standard 1/4 DIN package. Use a 92x92 mm punch tool to make the panel cutout.

• Minimum spacing of 25 mm (1 in.) between panel units is recommended.

92 x 92 mm

(3.62 x 3.62 in.)

4. Wiring

• The wiring is identical for the panel mount and the ﬁ eld mount versions of the totalizer.

• Only one wire should be inserted into a terminal. Splice double wires outside the terminal.

• External Reset for Total #1: Use no more than 30 m (100 ft.) of 2-conductor twisted-pair cable connected to a dry contact (for

example, an ordinary door-bell button or relay contact).

• Only Totalizer #1 can be be reset by the external connection.

• Total #1 will not be displayed unless it is the standard totalizer selection.

Instructions

1. Remove 10mm (

/8 in.) of insulation from sensor cable conductors.

2. Press down on orange lever to open terminal.

3. Insert wire into terminal until it hits bottom.

4. Release the lever to secure wire.

5. Battery Installation and Replacement

Two 3.6V Lithium thionyl chloride batteries, AA-size (7400-0011) are included with the totalizer. NOTE: THE 8150 WILL NOT OPERATE WITH standard 1.5 V ALKALINE BATTERIES. Use 3.6 V Lithium batteries only!

• Observe polarity! Note that both batteries should face the

same direction.

• When the “low battery” indicator appears on the display, both

batteries should be replaced within 90 days.

• Remove and replace battery #1 ﬁ rst, then remove and

replace battery #2.

This ensures that all settings and totalizer values are saved.

• If the low battery symbol reappears for more than 10

seconds after installing new batteries, one battery is reversed, or battery #2 was installed before battery #1.

• Secure the batteries by fastening the Velcro® straps.

DISPOSE OF EXPENDED BATTERIES PROPERLY! Lithium batteries contain hazardous chemicals. Dispose of batteries according to local regulation.

6. Operation

The 8150 display shows the ﬂ ow rate in large numerals and a totalizer value in smaller numerals. Any one of three different totalizers can be selected as the standard display (See section 8 for detailed information on the totalizers).

Press the UP or DOWN keys to scroll through all three totalizer values during normal operation.

6.1 No Flow and ELAPSED TIME Display

If the ﬂ ow stops, the Totalizer displays the number of hours since ﬂ ow was last detected. This display will alternate with the normal FLOW RATE and standard TOTAL display every ﬁ ve seconds. Any movement of the rotor in the pipe will reset the ELAPSED TIME display.

6.2 Standard menu settings

Totalizers are shipped from the factory with these standard settings:

Function: Factory set: Description: AUTO CALIBRATION No setting; See section 9 for detailed information. FLOW K-FACTOR 60 Number of sensor pulses per volumetric unit; Refer to sensor manual. TOTAL K-FACTOR 1 Set the number of volumetric units per totalizer count; see section 11. TIMEBASE Minutes Select ﬂ ow rate in seconds, minutes, hours or days. Section 12. DECIMAL XXX.X Set the maximum decimal resolution. Section 13. SPEED 30 s Zero to 120 seconds averaging stabilizes readings in erratic ﬂ ow conditions. Section 14. SENSITIVITY 6 Momentarily overrides SPEED when ﬂ ow rate changes signiﬁ cantly. Section 15. SECURITY CODE 0-0-0-0 Set a private code to prevent tampering. Section 7. DEFAULT TOTALIZER Permanent Select from three totalizer options. Section 8. TOTALIZER #2 RESET Reset Totalizer #2 after entering the security code. Section 8.3.

7. Changing the Security Code

The security code prevents unauthorized tampering with calibration and operational settings in the 8150. The factory standard code is 0-0-0-0. Change the code to any 4-digit number by following these steps:

Example: Change the security code from the factory standard 0-0-0-0 to custom setting 1-0-0-1

1. Hold the ENTER key for 2 seconds, then enter the current SECURITY CODE.

If working with a new unit, press the ENTER key again. The

display shows the ﬁ rst menu item (Auto CAL)

2. Press the UP key three times to scroll to Sec Code.

3. Press RIGHT ARROW to edit the code.

The leading digit on the display will

ﬂ ash.

4. Press the UP key one time to scroll the ﬂ ashing digit to 1.

Example: Enter security code of 1001:

1. Hold the ENTER key for 2 seconds. The display shows

factory standard access code of

0000, with the ﬁ rst zero

ﬂ ashing.

2. Press the UP key one time to scroll the ﬂ ashing zero to 1.
