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

2.4 Example 1: 7951 with a 7812 gas density meter
About this example
This NON-HAZARDOUS (SAFE) AREA ONLY INSTALLATION† example shows you how to connect either a 7812 gas density meter to the 7951, and then uses the “Density 1” wizard to configure the system.
In this example, the “Density 1” wizard is used to configure a connection as follows:
A single densitometer is connected to Density Input 1.
Work through the example by following the instructions below. If you are not sure where the buttons are, refer to Chapter 6.
Connect the meter
1. Wire the meter to the 7951, as in:
Figure 2.1 for a 7812 gas density meter. Note: Refer to meter documentation for other wiring arrangements.
2. Earth the 7951 to a suitable earth point.
EMC Notes:
To meet the EC Directive for EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility), it is recommended that the Flow Computer be connected to transducers using a suitable instrumentation cable containing individually shielded twisted pairs and an overall screen to cove r all cores.
The instrumentation cables should have individual screen(s), foil or braid over each twisted pair and an overall screen to cover all cores. Where permissible, and depending on the earthing scheme employed at the installation, the overall screen should be connected to the earthed metal work at both ends (360° bonding where possible). This may have multiple protective earth connections to the pipe work or the building structure and not connected to the individual screen(s) or Instrumentation or Zener barrier grounds.
The individual inner screen(s) should be connected at one end only, normally the controller (e.g. Flow Computer) end. These should be connected to the Instrumentation or Zener barrier ground.
Use suitable cables that meet BS5308 multi-pair Instrumentation Types 1 or 2.

About this example
This example shows you how to connect a mA-type pressure transmitter to the 7951, and then use the “Pressure” wizard to configure the system.
In this example, the “Pressure” wizard is used to configure a connection as follows:
A single pressure transmitter is connected to Analogue Input 3.
Work through the example by following the instructions below. If you are not sure where the buttons are, refer to Chapter 6.
Connect the meter
1. Wire the transmitter to the 7951, as in Figure 2.11.
2. Earth the 7951 to a suitable earth point.
EMC Notes:
To meet the EC Directive for EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility), it is recommended that the Flow Computer be connected to transducers using a suitable instrumentation cable containing individually shielded twisted pairs and an overall screen to cover all cores.
The instrumentation cables should have individual screen(s), foil or braid over each twisted pair and an overall screen to cover all cores. Where permissible, and depending on the earthing scheme employed at the installation, the overall screen should be connected to the earthed metal work at both ends (360° bonding where possible). This may have multiple protective earth connections to the pipe work or the building structure and not connected to the individual screen(s) or Instrumentation or Zener barrier grounds.
The individual inner screen(s) should be connected at one end only, normally the controller (e.g. Flow Computer) end. These should be connected to the Instrumentation or Zener barrier ground.
Use suitable cables that meet BS5308 multi-pair Instrumentation Types 1 or 2.

3.2 What the 7951 Dual Channel Gas Signal Converter does

The 7951 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 acce pted by a 795x and then transmitted (by the same 795x) through an analogue output as a 4-20mA signal.
In this application, the 7951 can calculate:
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 w ith a

5. Installing the system

5.1 What this chapter tells you

This chapter gives full instructions for installing the 7951.
It does not go into detail about how to install any peri phe ra l devices (such as transducers, computers or printers) which are connected to the 7951. For this information you must re fer to the do cumen tation sup plied w ith th ese items.

5.2 Hazardous and non-hazardous environments

Caution:
Always refer to documentation supplied by the manufacturer for details of installing their equipment in a hazardous area. The 7951 is neither intrinsically safe nor explosion-proof. and can therefore only be used in a designated non-hazardous (safe) area.
If all or part of an installation is in an area where there is the risk of fire or explosion (which is almost always the case when gases are involved), then safety barriers or galvanic isolators usually have to be wired into the circuit. However, some instruments are explosion-proof and barriers are not, therefore, needed.
Chapter 5 Installing the system

5.3 Installation procedure

Briefly, the procedure is:
Step 1: Draw up a wiring schedule. Step 2: Unpack the 7951. Step 3: Set the DIP switches. Step 4: Fit the 7951. 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.

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 are allowed. (If you are in doubt, check the specification in Appendix C.)
A blank copy of a wiring schedule is given in Appendix B.
Page 5.1
Chapter 5 Installing the system

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.
Note: If you have ordered an option card, this is already installed in the 7951.

5.6 Step 3: Setting DIP-switches

Some types of connection may require DIP-switches to be set.
5.6.1 Analogue Input DP-switches
The 7951 has two blocks of DIP-switches on the Processor Board, as shown in Figure 5.1:
SW1 switches
select whether each input is 4-20 mA or PRT.
Chapter 5 Installing the system
SW2 switches
– not used in the current version of 7951.
The setting of each switch in the SW2 block must be the same as the corresponding pair of switches in the SW1 block. The 7951 may not work correctly otherwise.
The 7951 is supplied with the DIP-switches in these default settings:
Input 1 PRT

If you want to change the Analog Input switch settings, you must also configure the inputs. This is explained in chapter 11. After the configuration has been completed, the 7951 should be switched into the 'secure' mode to prevent unauthorised or accidental tampering with the instrument's configuration.
Note:
The 7951 is always shipped from the factory with the security lock on the front panel set to the ‘non-secure’ mode.
5.6.2 Turbine Voltage Selection switches
The Turbine Voltage Selection switch is a DIP switch on the PSU Board, which is accessible through removal of parts (see Chapter 14). Choose between 8 volts dc or 16 volts dc for all flow meters powered by the 7951. The 7951 is shipped with the switch set for 8 volts dc.
For flow meter connection details, see chapter 2.

You can mount the clamp so that it is fixed permanently or can be removed later, if required. If you want the clamp to be fixed permanently, carry out Steps 3 - 8. If you want to be able to remove the clamp, carry out Steps 9 - 12.
If the clamp is to be fixed permanently:
1. Make sure that the face of the front panel is in good condition and has no loose or flaking paint. Use a
suitable de-greasing agent to clean the face of the panel.
2. Insert the location moulding through the aperture in the front panel.
3. Peel the protective strip off the adhesive tape on the face of the mounting clamp. Then, working from the
back of the front panel, carefully position the clamp over the location moulding. The clamp and pan el bond on contact.
4. Press firmly on the area where the clamp is bonded to the front panel to ensure that they are bonded firmly. Remove the Location Moulding and discard it.
5. Slide the instrument through the front panel. Tighten the two captive screws to secure it into the clamp.
6. Finally, attach all connectors to the back panel.
Note that, if you install more than one instrument, it helps to support them if you use a Mounting Strap to link each clamp to the next one, as shown in Figure 4.5:

Chapter 5 Installing the system

5.8 Step 5: Making the external 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 7951. Take special notice of any information about safety requirements in hazardous areas, and complying with EMC regulations.
2. For each D-type connector, pass the connector hood over the cable and wire up the connector. Secure the hood and connector body together then connect the earth wire to the hood. Stick an identifying label on to the connector hood.
3. For each Klippon connector, wire up the connector then stick an identifying label on it.
4. Check the wiring thoroughly against the schedule and wiring diagram.
5. Attach all connectors to the Rear Panel.
Refer to Chapter 2 and Appendix C for examples of field transmitter connections and a full list of the 7951’s pin identities.

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 7951 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 rear panel (Figure 4.6) to a local safety earth such as a cabinet earth or some other suitable metal structure. If there is more than one 7951, see Figure 4.7 for correct and incorrect methods.
In addition to earthing the chassis, you may have to make extra earth connections in some cases, depending on the installation requirements. Details of internal earthing arrangements are in Appendix C.

Plug the dc power connector into plug PL1 and switch on the power. The instrument goes through the following Power-On-Self-Test (POST) routine:
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, the alarms may light up. You can ignore these for the moment, as alarms are explained later in this manual. You can now proceed to configure your 7951 (see Chapters 8-11).
If the POST fails to complete, switch off the power supply 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.

application software. If this button is in use, it will be mentioned in later chapters.

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.

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

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.

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 calcul ation s and in which i t 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 paramete rs so tha t an ala rm is genera ted 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 be fore an alarm is genera ted.
Step limit: The greatest allowable step between su ccessive values before an al arm 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.

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.

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 defined in the glossary.

10.1 What this chapter tells you

This chapter features complete maps of all the configuration wizards. Each map shows all the possible routes through a wizard.

10.2 Wizards: Configuring the easy way

Wizards are configuration tools which are written into the instrument’s software. To configure your instrument, just select the wizard which fits your requirements most closely, follow the prompts to supply the information it asks for and then, if necessary, edit the resulting configuration to match your exact needs.
Wizards are easy to use. We recommend that you use them to configure your installation.

This represents the selection of the wizard. It is the start point for every wizard. Pressing the 'b' key or the enter key confirms the selection.
An arrow indicates where a wizard will continue to. It may (or may not) have a label to identify a particular path the wizard is taking
This format indicates a situation where there are two or more options. Choosing any option here will determine the subsequent path taken by the wizard.
Note that all of the options are always shown in this box. However, the 795x splits options into pages.
An item prompt that appears with the name of the item along with programmable properties - a value, units of measurement and present status. Edit properties and then press the enter key for wizard to continue.
An item prompt with a dotted outline will not always appear. A note alongside states the condition needed for it to appear.
The shaded areas indicate a situation where there are two or more options. Choosing an option here may influence the subsequent path taken by the wizard.
Pressing the 'b' key, when this screen first appears, starts the selection process. The up / down arrow keys cycle through available options.
Pressing the enter key confirms the option displayed as the one chosen. Pressing enter a second time makes the wizard continue.

Route continues from a connector with a matching code. The letter in the code is unique to a wizard - A is used for the Flow meter wizard (Orifice route).
This provides information for a prompt that follows. For example, in the Line Density wizard, the value of n will be seen to complete a PTZ descripor. PTZ n will be PTZ 1 when n=1. PTZ n will be PTZ 2 when n=2.

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- 11.18).

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.
