• P18 Decimals, Number of decimals to show for the
pressure value. When using Pa as unit it is recommended not to use decimals.
In case any set value is above 32767 regardless of
where the decimal point is placed the adjustment is
not carried out.
E.g. If Set Point = 5000 and one decimal is se-
lected, the adjustment will not work since the value
5000,0 is greater than the allowed max value of
3276,7. Of the same reason, 500,0 cannot be
adjusted to 500,00.
• P19/P20 Min range / Max range
When programming a new unit, min and max limits
in the new unit are displayed in parameter Min
range and Max range. These values are notes and
not possible to change.
• P21 Min out, Lower limit for scaling the output
signal is set in pressure units, e.g. 10 Pa will result
at 10 Pa pressure the min output signal of, 0/2 V
resp. 0/4 mA.
• P22 Max out, Higher limit for scaling the output
signal is set in pressure units, e.g. 90 Pa will result
at 90 Pa pressure the max output signal of 10 V
resp. 20 mA.
• P23 Sign dP, If the transmitter is without zero
crossing, the MF-PFTT will indicate a negative
pressure similar to positive pressure (i.e. Without
negative sign). When programming Sign dP =
‘NEG’ a negative sign (-) is shown in front of the
current value.
• P81 AutoZero, Using the optional built-in solenoid
valve, automatic zero adjustment can be set. The
time between adjustment can be set between 0,1
and 60 hours. During this process, the displayed
values and the output signals are halted. After the
zero adjustment is done in approx. 15 seconds,
the transmitter restore to normal operation.
Zero adjustment can also be carried out manually
according to instructions on page 8.
To change the range for the output signal, the Min out
and Max out are programmed. Programmed values
must be in the selected unit (Pa, mbar, iwc). When
scaling, be aware that the accuracy is always in
percent of the factory calibrated pressure range.
6. FLOW
To measure and control the fl ow or velocity it is
necessary to connect the transmitter to fl ow sensors
with a known formula and k-factor.

• P24 Unit fl ow, select a suitable unit for fl ow display,
l/s, m3/s, m3/h, m/s or cfm (cubic feet / minute).
• P25 Decimals, Number of decimals to show for the
fl ow value. In case any set value is above 32767
regardless of where the decimal point is placed the
adjustment is not carried out.
E.g. if Max Flow = 5000 and one decimal is se-
lected, the adjustment will not work since the value
5000,0 is greater than the allowed max value of
3276,7. Of the same reason, 500,0 cannot be
adjusted to 500,00.
• P26 Max fl ow, set the fl ow that correspond to the
pressure range on the MF-PFTT.
• P27 Scale fl w, set the fl ow for max output signal,
10 V resp. 20 mA.
• P28 Set fl ow, Programme this parameter if adjust-
ing the displayed fl ow is necessary. Programme
the current fl ow using a reference fl ow measure-
ment. Max fl ow is re-scaled to correspond with the
reference measurement. If the unit is connected to
a computer system or similar, the receiving system
should also be programmed if the Scale fl w value
is higher than the new value of Max fl ow.
NOTE! Programming must be performed at the
same time as when the reference value is meas-
ured (The PGM-key is pressed for the last digit and
the value is stored).
• P29 Compens, with a connected temperature
sensor, the measuring value can be recalculated
from the standard temperature of 20°C to a fl ow at
actual temperature, ‘ ACTUAL’, -30...+600°C or to
a fl ow at normal condition 0°C, ‘NORMAL 0’.
The basic fl ow calculation used is made with √dP.
To have the display and the output corresponding
to the actual fl ow or velocity in the selected unit it is
necessary to make some calculations.
Different manu factors of fl ow measurement devices
have different calculation, but common for all is √dP.
Use the actual formula to calculate the max fl ow for the
factory calibrated measure range.
The calculated fl ow or velocity is then programmed
under Max fl ow in the selected unit. E.g. 5,0 m
3
/s. It
is possible to scale the fl ow range under Scale fl w.
When scaling the fl ow, note that the accuracy depends
on the “Max fl ow” range. Scale fl w must always
be set to the same or a lower value than Max fl ow.
E.g. 3,5 m3/s = 10 VDC. The output signal is linear to
the fl ow or velocity.
