9. AutoCAL Calibration

The AutoCAL feature allows theTotalizer to be adjusted to match the ﬂ ow rate to any external reference.

• Flow in the pipe should be as stable as possible for best results.

• If the ﬂ ow rate display is erratic, set the SPEED (section 14) to 120 seconds during the AutoCAL procedure.

• The timebase on the reference meter must be the same as the 8150 Totalizer.

Example: The Totalizer ﬂ ow rate shows 60 GPM, while an external reference indicates a true ﬂ ow rate of 70 GPM. Change the ﬂ ow rate from 60 GPM to 70 GPM using AutoCAL.

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

2. Press the ► key to select the AutoCAL function.

The display will show AutoCAL and the current ﬂ ow rate will be ﬂ ashing.

3. Press the ► key again to change the ﬂ ow rate. The display shows "Set Flo" and the ﬁ rst digit of the ﬂ ow rate will begin ﬂ ashing.

4. Press the ► key to advance the ﬂ ashing element to the "6".

5. Press the ▲ key one time to change the "6" to "7".

6. Press the ENTER key to complete the automatic calibration process.

The display shows a new K-Factor with the ﬁ rst digit ﬂ ashing. This K-Factor is based on the change in ﬂ ow rate.

7. Press the ENTER key again to accept the new value.

NOTE: If the display shows "ERR SetFlo" the procedure was unsuccessful because the calculated K-Factor is less than 0.001 or

greater than 999999. Verify the ﬂ ow rate and start the AutoCAL procedure from step 1.

8. Press ▲ and ▼ keys together to store the new value in the memory.

The display will show "storing" for a few seconds, then return to normal operation.

10. Flow K-Factor

The K-Factor is the number of pulses generated by the ﬂ ow sensor for each measure of water that moves past the sensor. Your ﬂ ow sensor manual contains K-Factor data in terms of U.S. gallons and liters. Locate the K-Factor that matches your pipe size material. If necessary, you can convert the K-Factor into other units of measure. The minimum K-Factor value is 0.001, maximum is 999999.

Example: Change the Flow K-Factor from 060.000 to 095.000

11. Total K-Factor

The TOTAL K-Factor is a multiple of the FLOW K-Factor. Use it to program the incremental count size of the Totalizer.

For example, if the ﬂ ow RATE registers in litres per minute, the totalizer may be set to 1 (factory standard), so it counts in 1-litre increments, or it may be set to 1000 so it counts in 1 kilolitre (1 m3) increments. By converting the Flow K-Factor, the totalizer can also be set to count in other engineering units. See sec. 17: "Flow and Total K-Factor selection" for additional information about Total K-Factor adjustments.

Example: Change the totalizer from 1-kilolitre increments to count in 10-kilolitre increments.

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

The display shows the ﬁ rst item in the menu, AutoCAL.

2. Press the ▼ key two times to scroll to the

Total K-Factor.

11.1 Adjusting the Flow K-Factor

If the Totalizer yields a consistent error, make corrections by either using the AutoCal function (section 9) or by manually adjusting the Flow K-Factor by the percentage of error. A smaller K-Factor increases the ﬂ ow rate, while larger K-Factors reduce the ﬂ ow rate.

Example:

• The Flow K-Factor is set at 480.19 pulses per gallon.

• The totalizer registers 10 gallons when the actual volume is known to be 11 gallons.

• The error is 1 gallon divided by 10 gallons , or -10%. (The totalizer is counting 10% low, and the ﬂ ow rate is reading 10% slow.)

• Reduce the Flow K-Factor by 10%: 480.19 - 10% = 432.17.

• Change the Flow K-Factor to 432 pulses per gallon.

The result: The totalizer must count 10% fewer pulses from the ﬂ ow sensor to register one gallon, so both the totalizer and the ﬂ ow rate will increase by 10%.

SPEED averaging serves to smooth out ﬂ uctuations in the ﬂ ow rate that may be caused by inadequate straight pipe runs after pumps, valves, and elbows in the pipe. The selections are 0, 7, 15, 30, 60 and 120 seconds. The factory standard setting is 30 seconds.

• Use faster (0 s -30 s) averaging for well-established, stable ﬂ ow conditions.

• Use slower (60 s -120 s) averaging if the ﬂ ow conditions are unstable.

Note: While the SPEED setting helps to smooth out the ﬂ uctuations caused by piping conditions, it also causes a delay in showing

actual changes in ﬂ ow rate. The SENSITIVITY function (section 15) is designed to help offset this effect.

Example: Change the SPEED setting from 60 seconds to 30 seconds.

1. Hold the ENTER key for 2 seconds, then enter the SECURITY CODE. The display shows the ﬁ rst item in the CALIBRATE menu, AutoCAL.

2. Press the ▼ key ﬁ ve times to scroll to DISP SPEED. The display shows DISP SPEED, the "sec" annunciator, and the current speed setting.

3. Press the ► key to select the Display speed for editing. The current speed selection begins ﬂ ashing.

4. Press the ▼ key one time to scroll from 60 seconds to 30 seconds.

5. Press the ENTER key to return to the menu.

6. Press ▲ and ▼ keys together to exit the menu and return to normal operation. The display shows "Storing" for a few seconds, then returns to the normal operating display.

SPEED and SENSITIVITY

The SENSITIVITY setting determines how the 8150 responds to sudden surges in the ﬂ ow rate. It "overrides" the SPEED function just long enough to allow an actual change in ﬂ ow rate to be displayed, then resumes the averaging. The result is a smooth ﬂ ow display and a quick response to large shifts in the ﬂ ow rate.

With SPEED averaging set to 0 (zero) and with SENSITIVITY set to zero, the ﬂ ow rate may be very unstable. This line represents the actual output of the ﬂ ow sensor as it responds to unstable ﬂ ow conditions in the pipe.

With SPEED set to 60 seconds and SENSITIVITY still set to zero the ﬂ ow rate is stabilized, but a sharp change in ﬂ ow rate is not represented for 60 seconds or longer. (dotted green line).

With SPEED at 60 seconds and SENSITIVITY set to 6, the ﬂ ow rate is stabilized, while the sudden shift in ﬂ ow is reﬂ ected very quickly (dotted blue line).

NOTE: The SENSITIVITY function is ineffective if the SPEED function is set to zero (seconds).

Example: Change the SENSITIVITY from 5 to 8

1. Hold the ENTER key for 2 seconds, then enter the SECURITY CODE. The display shows the ﬁ rst item in the menu, AutoCAL.

2. Press the ▲ key once to scroll to SENSITIVITY. The display shows DISP SENS and the current sensitivity setting.

3. Press the ► key to select the SENSITIVITY for editing. The current SENSITIVITY setting begins ﬂ ashing.

4. Press the ▲ key three times to scroll from 5 to 8.

5. Press the ENTER key to return to the menu.

6. Press ▲ and ▼ keys together to exit the menu and return to normal operation. The display shows "Storing" for a few seconds, then returns to the normal operating display.

16. Troubleshooting Display Condition Probable Cause Suggested Solutions

Batteries are dead or missing. Replace both batteries.

Pull tabs have not been removed. Remove plastic pull tabs protecting the batteries.

1. Reduce the ﬂ ow rate.

2. Change the Timebase to a smaller value. (Example: Change from “Day” to “Hour”)

The ﬂ ow rate is greater than “9999”.

8150 is not receiving a signal from the ﬂ ow sensor.

3. Change the ﬂ ow units to a larger measure. (Example: Change from “Liters” to “Gallons”)

NOTE: If the Flow K-Factor is changed, be sure

to make a corresponding change to the TOTAL K-Factor.

1. There is no ﬂ ow in the pipe.

2. Flow sensor is not turning due to blockage or damage.

3. Sensor wiring is loose or incorrect.

In AutoCal, the calculated K-Factor is outside the range of the 8150 (less than 0.001 or greater than

99999).

The ﬂ ow rate display is erratic and non-linear

Usually caused by inadequate straight pipe run upstream of sensor.

Both batteries are too depleted to safely store settings.

17. Flow and Total K-Factor Selection

Pages 17-19 provide K-Factors for the Signet 515 and 525 ﬂ ow sensors. Use this table to convert the K-Factor to other units of measure, and to set the Total K-Factor.

NOTE:

• The maximum K-Factor is 999999.

• The minimum K-Factor is 0.001.

Press ► key to start AutoCAL procedure again. Make sure that the ﬂ ow rate entered is accurate.

1. Correct piping layout to provide more straight pipe upstream of sensor.

2. Set the SPEED to higher setting to average out the ﬂ uctuations caused by piping conditions (see Speed, section 14).

Replace battery #1, then replace battery #2.

CHEMICAL COMPATIBILITY W ARNING!

The retaining nuts of paddlewheel sensors are not designed for prolonged contact with aggressive substances. Strong acids, caustic substances and solvents or their vapor may lead to failure of the retaining nut, ejection of the sensor and loss of the process ﬂ uid with possibly serious consequences, such as damage to equipment and serious personal injury. Retaining nuts that may have been in contact with such substances, e.g., due to leakage or spilling, must be replaced.
