1. About this manual

1.1 What this manual tells you

This manual tells you how to install, configure, operate, and service the instrument. In addition, some information is given to help you identify and correct some of the more common faults which may occur. However, since repairs are done by changing suspected faulty assemblies, fault-finding to board component level is not covered.

This manual assumes that all devices or peripherals to be connected to the 795x have their own documentatio n which tells you how to install and configure them. For this reason it is assumed that anything which you want to link to the 795x is already installed and working correctly in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

Since the instrument can be used for a wide variety of purposes, it is driven by software specially for your application. This manual gives information about the so ftw are which applie s to y our machine only .

Throughout this manual the term '795x' is used to refe r to al l members of the 795x family (7950 and 7951).

Chapter 1 About this manual

1.2 Who should use this manual

This manual is for anyone who installs, uses, services or repairs the 795x.

1.3 Software version covered by this manual

The software version dealt with in this manual is given on the title page. Chapter 3 tells you about the software is installed in your instrument.

2.1 What this chapter tells you

If you are new to the Micro Motion® 7950 Signal Converter, the worked examples in this chapter can help you to become familiar with the installation and configuration procedures. The examples are:

• Example 1: 7950 with a 12 (See page 2.2)

• Example 2: 7950 with a 3098 Gas Specific Gravity (See page 2.6)

• Example 3: 7950 with a mA-type temperature transmitter (See page 2.9)

• Example 4: 7950 with a mA-type pressure transmitter (See page 2.12)

• Example 5: 7950 with a RTD-type temperature transmitter (See page 2.14)

Work through whichever one is most like your installation.

2.2 What the examples show you

Chapter 2 Getting started

Each example shows you how to:

• wire up a simple system

• set the DIP switches inside the 7950

• find the menu from which you start configuration

• clear the memory of details of any existing configuration (OPTIONAL)

• select the appropriate wizard to configure the simple system

• work through the wizard and button in information

• view the results of your configuration

The examples do not give full instructions on how to fit and configure installations. They are intended purely to give you confidence to install and configure your own equipment. Chapter 5 tells you how to make permanent installations.

2.3 If you need help...

If you get into difficulties... If you get into difficulties when using the wizards, you can abandon the configuration and start again as follows:

1. From the menu, keep selecting NO (usually by pressing the c-button) or, if that option is not available:

2. Press ENTER until you can start selecting NO.

3. Carry on with (1) and (2) until you return to the wizards menu where you started.

4. Start the worked example again. The configuration you abandoned is clear ed from the instrument’s

Chapter 3 About the Micro Motion® 7950

3.2 What the 7950 Dual Channel Gas Signal Converter does

The 7950 Gas Signal Converter is primarily used to convert signal s from one fo rma t to another. There is a need for this conversion when a system is unable to accept a raw signal from a transducer or, perhaps, some intermediate signal processing is required.

A common conversion is where a frequency input from a 7812 gas density transducer can be accepted by a 795x and then transmitted (by the same 795x) through an analogue output as a 4-20mA signal.

In this application, the 7950 can calcu late :

• Line density

• Specific gravity

• Base density

• Energy (Cv/m) (from AGA-5 method, or mA-type input)

Note: Dual channel measurements are available for Items marked with a

It can also obtain:

• Line temperature.

• Densitometer temperature.

• Density pressure.

• Atmospheric pressure.

• Percentage of CO

• Percentage of N

• Compressibility (from S-GERG, NX19, NX19mod or NX19 3h)

• Special equations 1 and 2.

3.3 Physical description of the 7950

The 7950 is a wall-mounted instrument housed in a one-piece case. The upper part of the instrument has a panel on which are mounted the keyboard and display. Below this, and stepped back slightly, is a terminal cover which, when removed allows access to the electrical connectors on the connector board inside the instrument. All wiring enters the case from underneath, through the gland plate which has to be drille d for the purpose.

The connector board is mounted vertically inside the back of the case. The microprocessor board is attached, by six screws and stand-offs, to the back of the keyboard and display.

The upper and lower parts of the instrument are separated by a horizontal metal plate (the screen) which helps to protect the instrument against electro-magnetic interference.

5. Installing the system

5.1 What this chapter tells you

This chapter gives you full instructions for installing the 7950.

It does not go into detail about how to install any peripheral devices (such as transducers, computers or printers) which can be connected to the 7950. For this information you must refer to the documentation supplied with these items.

5.2 Hazardous and non-hazardous environments

If all or part of an installation is in an area where there is the risk of fire or explosion, then barriers usually have to be wired into the circuit. However, some instruments are explosion-proof and barriers are not therefore needed.

You must follow the manufacturers’ instructions and safety recommendations fully.

5.3 Installation procedure

Briefly, the procedure is:

Step 1: Draw up a wiring schedule. Step 2: Unpack the 7950. Step 3: Set the DIP switches. Step 4: Fit the 7950. Step 5: Make all external connections. Step 6: Earth the installation. Step 7: Connect power supply.

The steps in the procedure are explained in the following sections.

Chapter 5 Installing the system

5.4 Step 1: Drawing up a wiring schedule

Before you make any connections, you must draw up a wiring schedule to help you identify wiring colours and make sure that you do not connect more items of any given type than you are allowed to. (If you are in doubt, check the specification in Appendix C.)

A blank copy of a wiring schedule is given in Appendix B.

5.5 Step 2: Unpacking the instrument

Remove the instrument from its packing and examine it to see if any items are loose or if it has been damaged in transit. Check that all items on the shipping list are present. If any items are missing or if the equipment is damaged, contact your supplier immediately for further advice.

What should be supplied with the 7950:

• Labels #1 - #20 for identifying the sockets.

• 4-way free socket for DC input.

• 3-way free socket for AC input.

• 10-way free socket for I/O (13 off).

• 1.6A and 400mA fuses (Note: these are spares).

• An operating manual (this manual).

Page 5.1

Chapter 5 Installing the system

Other items you must supply yourself:

• Cable glands (if you want to use them).

• Fixings (such as screws and plugs) suitable for fixing the 7950 to a wall.

Note: If you have ordered optional, additional facilities (such as extra outputs) these are already installed in

the machine.

5.6 Step 3: Setting DIP switches

The 7950 is supplied with the DIP-switches in these default settings:

• Turbine power: 8 VOLTS

• Security switch: NONSECURE

• Input 1 PRT

• Inputs 2-4: 4-20mA

Figure 5.1: Dip switches on the Connector Board

If you want to change these settings, do this as follows:

• Security The 7950 can work in a non-secure or securable mode. In non- secure mode, anyone can have access to the signal converter. In securable mode, access to many of the signal converter’s functions can be protected by a password. At this stage, setting the DIP switch only determines whether or not the instrument is capable of being protected because the actual setting of the security is carried out later when the instrument is configured.

• PRT or analog (4-20mA)

inputs

When you have set the dip switches, replace the terminal plate. Note: The 7950 is always shipped from the factory with the security DIP-switch set to non-secure.

There are four dip switches (one per channel) which determine whether the input to each channel is from a PRT or analogue (4-20mA) transmitter. Set each DIP switch as you require.

Note: You also have to configure the inputs. This is explained in

Chapter 10.

Page 5.2

5.7 Step 4: Fitting the 7950

Caution:

You must not fit the 7950 where it may be subjected to extreme conditions or be liable to damage. For further information about the environmental conditions within which it can operate, see Appendix C.

Chapter 5 Installing the system

Figure 5.2: Mounting details for the 7950

1. Undo and remove the six screws which secure the gland plate to the underneath of the instrument. Remove the gland plate.

2. Drill whatever holes are required in the plate to allow the cables to enter the instrument. Do not replace the gland plate at this stage.

3. Drill a pilot hole in the wall. Then, using whatever fixings (such as wall plugs) are suitable for the type of wall, turn in a screw so that its head sticks out far enough so that the keyhole-shaped slot at the back of the case can fit over it.

4. Fit the instrument on the wall.

5. Undo the four screws and remove the terminal cover.

6. Mark through the two instrument mounting holes then take the instrument off the wall.

7. Drill holes for screws at the marked positions. The holes should be wide enough to take wall plugs if these are to be used.

8. If wall plugs are to be used, insert them into the holes.

9. Hang the instrument on the wall, insert the screws and tighten them sufficiently to hold the instrument in place.

10. Replace the terminal cover.

5.8 Step 5: Making the connections

1. Refer to the documentation supplied with the external equipment to see if you have to carry out any special procedures when connecting them to the 7950. Take special notice of any information about complying with EMC regulations.

2. Pass the cables through the holes in the gland plate then connect the sockets to the wiring using your schedule and the connection diagram (in Chapter 5) to help you.

3. Check the wiring thoroughly against the schedule and wiring diagram.

4. Connect the sockets to the plugs on the connector board.

5. Replace the gland plate.

Page 5.3

Chapter 5 Installing the system

5.9 Step 6: Earthing the instrument

Caution: Incorrect earthing can cause many problems, so you must earth the chassis and the electronics correctly. The way in which you do this depends almost entirely on the type of installation you have and the conditions under which it operates. Therefore, because these instructions cannot cover every possible situation, the manufacturers recommend that earthing procedures should only be carried out by personnel who are skilled in such work.

The Chassis of the 7950 must be earthed in all cases; both for safety reasons and to ensure that the installation complies with EMC regulations. Do this by connecting an earth lead from the stud on the gland plate to a local safety earth such as pipework or some other suitable metal structure.

Connector board

Earth stud

Chassis earth lead to external earth

Internal earth lead

Gland plate

Figure 5.3: Earthing the chassis of the 7950

In addition to earthing the chassis, you may have to make extra earth connections in some cases, depending on the installation requirements. Details of this are given in Appendix C.

Page 5.4

5.10 Step 7: Connecting the power supply

Warning:

• Electricity is dangerous and can kill.

Caution:

• Power connections should not be made by anyone other than a qualified electrician.

Follow these 5 steps:

1. Switch off and disconnect all power supplies to the instrument (if you haven’t already done so).

2. If you are using cable glands, insert one into the appropriate hole in the gland plate.

3. Pass the power cable through the cable gland.

4. Before going any further, re-check that the wiring is connected correctly.

5. The instrument can work on either 110-230V a.c. or from a d.c. supply. Make the power connection, as follows:

• For a.c. power: Plug the power connector into plug PL1.

• For d.c. power: Plug the power connector into plug PL2.

Note that you can connect the 7950 to both the d.c. and a.c. supplies if you want a d.c. back-up in case the mains supply should fail.

The instrument goes through the following Power-On-Self-Test (POST) routine:

Chapter 5 Installing the system

• The display shows a sequence of characters or patterns to prove that all elements of the display are

working. There is a pause of five seconds between each change of pattern.

• The program ROM is checked against a checksum. The display shows how the test is proceeding.

• Critical data are checked. The display shows the result of this check.

• The coefficients are checked. The display shows the result of this check.

• The battery-backed RAM is checked. The display indicates progress.

• Any saved programs are checked. The display shows the number of programs and their status. Note

that, for a new machine, there are no stored programs.

• If a battery is fitted, its condition is checked and reported.

Note that, when the power is switched on, alarm LEDs may light up. You can ignore these for the moment - alarms are explained in Chapter 8. As long as the POST is completed satisfactorily, the 7950 is ready to be configured (see Chapters 10 and 11).

If the POST fails to complete, switch off the power and check all connections and the DIP switch settings. Then re-connect the power supply. If the POST still fails to complete, switch off again and contact your supplier.

6.6 Using the buttons to view stored data

When a software parameter screen is viewed, after selection from the menu, the display is in VIEW mode. Figure 6.2 shows a typical display when you view a software parameter screen. In VIEW mode, all information is

in a right justified format.

Figure 6.2: A typical software parameter screen (in VIEW mode)

What the display shows

Line 1: Shows the parameter description. (Some words are abbreviated.) Line 2: Shows the present value (or text for indirection type). Line 3: Shows the measurement units (if any). This line is blank if there are no units. Line 4: The right-hand side shows LIVE, SET, FB (FALLBACK) or FAIL to indicate the state of the

present value shown in Line 2, where appropriate. These indications mean: LIVE – The data shown is live data received from the transducer/transmitter connected to

the 795x or calculated by the 7858 rather than a set value.

SET – There is a fixed value for the data; this value does not change unless you enter a

new fixed value or make it live.

FB – A fallback or default value has been used to obtain the value for the data. FAIL – The live input has failed, most likely due to no transducer/transmitter being

connected or a calculation failed to complete due to incorrect configuration.

An alarm will be raised causing the Input Alarm LED to flash on the front panel. For

troubleshooting this alarm, see chapter 8.

Optionally, Line 4 may also show the parameter’s unique identifica tion number (location ID ), which is required w hen setting up certain features e.g. Multi-view. You can toggle this in formation on/off by the ‘a’ button.

Chapter 7 The menu system

7. The menu system

7.1 What this chapter tells you

Before you can configure and operate the 795x, you should have some understanding of how the menu system works. The menus are simple and intuitive, so they should present no problems to the average user.

This chapter gives you a general tour, showing how to navigate the menu system to find application parameter screens and other types of screen such as for entering passwords.

Note:

The menus and parameters will differ between software versions, and can differ between releases of a software version. Chapter 12 features tables showing the routinely used (operator) parts of the menu system used in your software.

7.2 What the menu system does

The menu system lets you:

• Configure the 795x.

• Operate it.

• View data and settings stored in the 795x.

• Edit data stored in the 795x.

7.3 How the menu system works

When you power-on the 795x, the menu system appears immediatel y after the routine Power-On-Self-Test (POST) is completed. If it is the first power-on since the software was installed, a screen appears showing the software version number and the issue number e.g. 2550 Iss 1.00.00. if this is not the case, the screen will be the last visited menu location prior to powering off (or a power failure).

Press the MAIN MENU button once and page 1 of the top-level menu will appear (see Figure 7.1).

The menu system is a tree-like structure that repeatedly branches to lower levels until a final screen is reached. Page 1 of a top-level menu shown in Figure 7.1. It comprises four menu choices – Flow rates, Flow totals, Density and Viscosity.

Each menu choice has a description e.g. “Flow rates” and a triangular icon e.g. menu choice. A non-filled, triangular icon ( A filled, triangular icon (

) indicates the menu choice leads to a parameter screen.

) indicates the menu choice leads to a lower-level menu (sub-menu).

alongside to indicate the type of

Where a menu has more choices than can fit on to the 4-line display, the menu comprises of t wo or more pages. Vertical arrow icons appear on the left-hand side of display to indicate there are further pages on the same menu level. Figure 7.3 shows how you can scroll up or down between the pages by using the UP-ARROW and DOWN-

ARROW buttons. These buttons will do nothing unless there is a page to scroll to.

Note: The menus may be different in your software.

Chapter 7 The menu system

At the lowest levels in each branch of the menu system, there are parameter screens. Figure 7.4 shows how to navigate to the parameter screen for <MeterRun Temperature>. All parameter screens feature a solid, black, triangular shaped mark in the bottom-left corner of Display Line 4.

Note: Full details about editing parameters can be found in Chapter 6.

Note: The menus may be different in your software.

Chapter 7 The menu system

Returning to the top-level menu again, there are menu choices that are common to all software versions (Figure 7.5). In addition, you’ll encounter them in subsequent chapters.

All other menu choices on the Main Menu (e.g. “Flow rates”) are for operators to quickly find final measurements and other calculation results. Chapter 12 has tables showing these menus in more detail.

Chapter 8 Alarms

8. Alarms

8.1 Alarms

8.1.1 Alarm types

The types of alarms that are detected and recorded are:

System alarms, caused by one or more of:

• Power failure.

• Battery low (if a battery is fitted).

• Watchdog.

• RAM checksum failure.

• ROM checksum failure.

Input alarms, caused by one or more of:

• Failure of analogue inputs.

• Failure of density transducers.

• Incorrect data has been entered.

Limit alarms, caused by one or more of:

• Limits which you have set.

• Limits defined by the system.

These always result in two alarms - one when the change first happens and another when the system returns to its normal state.

8.1.2 Alarm indicators

The 795x has three LED indicators to show alarm status; one each for Input, System and Limit Alarms. Each alarm indicator can be in one of three states:

Off The system is working normally.

Flashing An alarm has been received but has not yet been accepted.

On All alarms has been accepted but not yet cleared. The conditions that caused the alarms in the first

place may still exist.

1. System alarm 2. Input Alarm 3. Limit Alarm

Figure 8.1: Alarm indicators on the front panel

Page 8.1

Chapter 8 Alarms

8.1.3 How alarms are received and stored

When a new alarm is received, the appropriate indicator LED on the front panel starts flashing. If the indicator is already flashing because of a previous alarm, it continues to do so. If the indicator is already ON (steady), it starts to flash.

Information about alarms is stored in two logs:

• The Alarm Status Display This gives:

(1) a summary of the contents of the Historical Alarm Log (2) an indication of the current status of the system.

• The Historical Alarm Log This contains an individual entry for every alarm stored in the log.

The Historical Alarm Log can store up to 30 entries. When a new alarm is received, one of two things can happen:

If the Historical Alarm Log is NOT full:

An entry for the new alarm is simply added to the list.

If the Historical Alarm Log is full:

It depends on how the system is set up: Either (1) the oldest entry is deleted and the new one is added to the top of the list, or (2) the new alarm is discarded. In either case, the Status Display is updated automatically.

8.1.4 Examining the Alarm Status Display and Historical Alarm Log

Press the INFORMATION MENU (i) button if you want to examine the Alarm Status Display or the Historical Alarm Log.

• To bring up the Alarm Status Display, select the Alarm Summary option.

• To bring up the first entry in the Historical Alarm Log, select the Alarm History option.

• To return to the INFORMATION MENU from the two screens , you can use the BACK button

Page 8.2

Figure 8.2: How to get to the alarm log

Chapter 8 Alarms

8.1.5 What the Alarm Status Display tells you

A typical Alarm Status Display is shown in Figure 8.2. The display lists, for each type of alarm (System, Input or Limit), the number of alarms that are live and new.

• New alarms are alarms that have been received but not accepted.

• Live alarms are alarms that refer to conditions still active.

An example of a live alarm is when there is a fault in the system. This produces two alarms - one when the fault first occurs (‘ON’) and the second when it is put right (‘Off’). If only the first alarm of the pair has been received, the alarm is said to be live because the condition still exists.

The number of live alarms tells you how many faults are still active. If you look at the Historical Alarm Log this tells you more about these faults.

8.1.6 What the entries in the Historical Alarm Log tell you

Figure 8.3 shows a typical display and the function of the relevant buttons.

Key to figure:

1. Indicates if there are entries BEFORE this one

2. Alarm is either ‘ON’ (fault occurrence) or ‘OFF’ (fault cured).

3. Type of alarm

4. Indicates alarm not accepted

5. Accept this alarm

6. Alarm description and extra identifier to qualify the alarm

7. Clear this alarm entry

8. Date and time that this alarm (message) was raised.

9. Identifies a metering-run/stream - not applicable to single

meter-run/stream software

10. Indicates that there are alarm entries AFTER this one

11. Scroll DOWN through the entries

12. Scroll UP through the alarm entries

13. Clear all alarm entries.

Figure 8.3: A typical entry in the log

Each alarm has its own entry in the Historical Alarm Log that tells you:

• Type of alarm

Whether it is a System alarm, Input alarm or Limit alarm and if the alarm is ‘on’ or ‘off’.

• Extra identifier for the alarm

This is not always shown for every entry but, where it is shown, it could be one of the following:

• A digit This indicates the channel number on which the fault occurred.

• A letter H and L are for high and low Limit alarms, S is for a step alarm.

• Date and time

The date is in the format DD-MM-YY and the time HH:MM:SS. These are entered automatically by the system when the alarm is received. The time is accurate to within one second.

Page 8.3

Chapter 8 Alarms

• Acceptance indication This is only shown for those entries that have not been accepted. When the entry is accepted, the indicator disappears.

• Other entries indication An up-arrow symbol shows that there are entries before the present one, whilst a down-arrow symbol shows that there are others after. If the entry currently shown is first in the list, there is no up-arrow. If it is last, there is no down-arrow.

• Description of the alarm This is an abbreviated description of the alarm and should be sufficient to help you trace the cause of the problem. A complete list of alarm messages, and what they mean, is on page 8.3.

8.1.7 Clearing all entries in the Historical Alarm Log

To clear all the alarm entries in the historical log, press the CLR button. This clears all entries in the Historical Alarm Log, zeroes the entries in the Status Display and sets all LED indicators to OFF.

9. Additional facilities

9.1 What this chapter tells you

You can also specify features such as:

• Fallback values and modes to be used if live inputs fail.

• Limits which, if exceeded, trigger alarms.

• The units in which the calculations are performed and are di splayed.

The following sections give more information about these, and other, topics which relate to the way in which data is processed.

9.2 Selecting units and data formats

You can select the units which the 795x uses for its calculations and in which it display s the data, as well as the

formats in which the data is display ed. You can choose the units and formats for:

• Line density.

• Base density.

• Temperature.

• Pressure.

• Energy(Cv/m).

• Time period input.

A full list of the units (metric and imperial) is given at the end of this chapter. Note that, if you change the units, the values are converted automatically to reflect the change .

9.3 Limits

You can set limits for some parameters so that an alarm is generated if the limits are exceede d .

There are three types of limit:

• High limit: The highest value which the parameter can have before an alarm is generated.

• Low limit: The lowest value which the parameter can ha ve befo re an alarm is gene rated.

• Step limit: The greatest allowable step between successive values before an alarm is generated.

The parameters, and the types of limit which you can set for them, are:

• Line density: high, low and step

• Base density: high, low and step

• Line temperature: high, low and step

• Density temperature: high, low and step

• Line pressure: high, low and step

• Alarm X and Y: high and low

• Specific gravity: high, low and step

Page 9.1

Chapter 9 Additional facilities

9.4 Fallback values and modes

A fallback value is used as a temporary substitute for a parameter if a live input (i.e., the transducer, transmitter or wiring), which is normally used to calculate the parameter, should fail.

A fallback must have one of the following modes:

• None The system uses whatever value is available for the parameter regardless of whether or not the live input has failed.

• Last good value The system uses, for the parameter, the last value prior to failure.

• Fixed value The system uses whatever fixed value you have specified for the fallback.

You can set fallback values for:

• Line density.

• Base density.

• Line temperature.

• Line pressure.

• Specific gravity.

• Density temperature.

• Atmospheric pressure.

• CO

• Energy (Cv/m).

and N2.

9.5 Analogue 0% and 100% values

These are values which specify the zero and span of analog ue inputs and outputs.

9.6 Live and set data

What are live and set data?

Stored data can be either live or set. Live data is continually updated by new data received from transducers or other transmitters. Set data is data that you have entered via the keyboard; it does not change unless you enter new data.

Why should I want to set data? You may want to set data for reasons such as:

• You want to test the flow computer’s programming

If you want to test the flow computer’s programming it is much easier if you use known, fixed data.

• You don’t want to monitor a particular parameter constantly or don’t want to monitor it at all.

If a parameter is not likely to change significantly or if it is not important to measure it accurately, you may not want to connect a transducer or transmitter. In this case, set data may be accurate enough for your purposes.

• A particular transducer or transmitter is out of action.

You can temporarily set the data to a fixed representative value until the transducer is repaired or replaced.

Page 9.2

9.7 Units which the 795x can display

The 795x can display data values with many different units, as listed in Table 9.1 below. However, when communicating with other devices, the data is always sent using the standard units.

In Table 9.1, the following definitions are used:

• Standard units: Units which the 795x displays unless you choose an alternative.

• Other units: Units which you can choose instead of the standard.

Note that many of the abbreviations used in the tables are define d in the glossary.

11. Configuring by using the menus

The recommended way of configuring the 795x is by using wizards, as e xplained in Chapter 10. But you should use the methods given here if:

• You want to configure an installation which is very different from the examples sho wn in Chapter 10.

• You want to change only a part of an existing configuration, irrespective of how it was configured in

the first place.

• You are experienced in using the 795x menus.

11.1 What does configuration involve?

After you have installed the instrument and made sure that it is working, you must tell it:

• What inputs the field transmitters are connected to.

• How input data is to be processed.

• How results are to be output.

There is a default configuration which covers a general application. Ho wever, it is usually necess ary to edit this configuration to suit particular needs.

Chapter 11 Configuring by using the menus

11.2 Before you start

Before you begin configuring you must obtain the calibration certificates for all the field transmitters connected to the 795x. The diagram on Page 11.4 shows an example of a typical calibration certificate.

If you have followed the installation procedure given in Chapter 5, the instrument is ready to be configured. Otherwise, you must make sure before continuing that:

• The dip switches for the analogue inputs are set as explained in Ch apter 5.

• All instrumentation has been connected.

• The instrument is powered up.

Page 11.1

Chapter 11 Configuring by using the menus

11.3 Recommended sequence for configuration

It is recommended that you configure items in the following order:

1. Inputs (See Section 11.5).

2. Transducer details (See Section 11.6).

3. Anything else such as Specific Gravity, Energy, Custom Application, Multiview, etc. Do these in the order in which they appear in this chapter. (See Sections 11.7- 11.15).

11.4 What Sections 11.5- 11.15 tell you

Each section tells you how to configure one parameter. The format of each section is:

• (Where necessary) a statement which tells you what information you must have to configure the parameter.

• (Where necessary) a block diagram showing how the instrument uses information from the transducers (“Live Data”) and information you give it (“Fixed Data”) to calculate the value of the parameter.

• A diagram which shows that part of the menu system which you use to configure the parameter.

Sections 11.14 (Configuring other parameters) and 11.15 (Configuring Multiview) have a slightly different format from the others because of the special nature of the topics they deal with.

The table on page 11.2 lists the items which you can configure and, for each, the calculations (if any) which are involved in obtaining the value of the item.

In the menu diagrams, where an item is shown in brackets, the actual value or setting appears in the menu at that point. For example:

(Value)

(Units) (Live or set)

The display shows the actual value of the parameter. The display shows the actual units. The display shows whether the parameter is LIVE or SET.
