Introduction

The Vantageview PD6730 is a plastic field mounted rate/totalizer designed for rugged and demanding applications in harsh environments. It can be powered from 9-30 VDC, battery, or from the 4-20 mA output loop; includes two isolated open collector pulse outputs and is available with an isolated RS-485 option for Modbus communications. The instrument will operate over a temperature range of -40 to 75°C (-40 to 167°F).

The top numeric display will read rate or total up to five digits and the alphanumeric bottom display will read up to 7 digits, 13 digits with the total overflow feature. The alphanumeric display can also be programmed to show any combination of numbers and letters up to seven characters long for rate, total, grand total, engineering units and/or identification tag. The backlight makes the display more visible in any lighting condition. The enclosure has three threaded conduit holes, integrated pipe or wall mounting flanges, and allows for easy installation of tamper seals.

Battery Replacement

Battery-equipped models have a battery charge monitor. When the battery is nearing the end of its capacity the screen will periodically flash the message LO BATTERY and the BAT indicator on the screen will flash. The recommended replacement interval for models using the battery as a primary power source is determined by the power and feature use, as shown on

6. The battery should be replaced when the low

page battery indication is on the screen.

The total is backed up in non-volatile memory when the low battery monitor is tripped. It is recommended that an updated reading be manually backed up prior to changing out the battery.

• Fire, explosion, and burns may result if not handled properly. Do not recharge, short circuit, crush, disassemble, heat above 100°C (212°F), incinerate, or expose contents to water.

• Battery disposal should be in accordance with applicable regulations, which vary by location. In many locations trashing of used batteries is forbidden and disposal is done through local battery disposal facilities. Spent batteries should be packaged in such a way as to prevent short circuits during handling and transport.

NOTICE: Battery may only be replaced with an original Model PDABAT36C recharge battery. Do not replace with used battery.

• Remove cover and display module and disconnect display module ribbon cable.

• Carefully cut and remove the cable ties supplied for shipping (if present).

• Remove the spent battery and prepare it for disposal.

• Install new PDABAT36C into battery clip with polarity as shown in Figure 17.

• Reconnect and fasten display module. Install enclosure cover.

Instruction Manual

Setup and Programming

There is no need to recalibrate the meter for frequency in Hz when first received from the factory.

The meter is factory calibrated for Hz prior to shipment. The calibration equipment is traceable to NIST standards.

Overview

Setup and programming is done through the infrared through-window SafeTouch buttons, using the mechanical buttons when uncovered, or with MeterView EX programming software. There are two slide switches located on the display module. One is used to configure the input and the other is to lock or unlock the SafeTouch Buttons.

MeterView EX Programming Software

The fastest and easiest way to program the meter is using the free Meterview EX programming software. This software greatly simplifies the programming process and allows the user to save configuration files for later use.

The MeterView EX software requires the PDA8068 USB Serial Adapter, PDA7485-I RS-232 to RS-485

Isolated Converter, or the PDA8485-I USB to RS-485

Isolated Converter to connect the PC to the meter.

Page 16

PD6730 Field-Mount Pulse Input Rate/Totalizer

SafeTouch Buttons

The PD6730 is equipped with four sensors that operate as through-window buttons so that it can be programmed and operated without removing the cover (and exposing the electronics). These buttons can be disabled for security by setting the THRU-GLASS BUTTONS switch located on the back of the display module to OFF.

SafeTouch Button Operation

To actuate a button, press and remove one finger to the window directly over the marked button area. Remove finger to at least 4 inches away from the window in between button activations. SafeTouch and mechanical buttons may be held to cycle through menus or digits in place of repeatedly pushing a button.

SafeTouch Power Save Mode

SafeTouch buttons enter a power saving mode after three minutes of inactivity. This mode is

indicated by the SafeTouch power symbol ( ) appearing in the lower right of the display. Only the MENU button is monitored in this mode. To activate the SafeTouch buttons, press and hold the menu button for up to five seconds. The display will read AWAKE, and the SafeTouch buttons will be fully enabled.

SafeTouch Disabled Mode When the cover is removed, the four mechanical

buttons located next to the sensors may be used. The sensors are disabled when a mechanical button is pressed and will automatically be reenabled after 60 seconds of inactivity. The

SafeTouch power symbol ( ) will blink in the lower right of the display if the buttons are disabled due to a mechanical pushbutton being pressed.

• SafeTouch will not work if two or more buttons are detected as being pressed simultaneously. Be careful to avoid triggering multiple buttons or reaching across one button location to press another.

Instruction Manual

SafeTouch Button Tips and Troubleshooting

The SafeTouch Buttons are designed to filter normal levels of ambient interference and to protect against false triggering, however it is recommended that the SafeTouch Buttons be turned off (slide THRU-GLASS BUTTONS switch located on the back of the display module to OFF) if there is an infrared interference source in line-of-sight to the display or if the buttons are not needed.

SafeTouch Button Tips:

• To the extent possible, install the display facing away from sunlight, windows, reflective objects and any sources of infrared interference.

• Keep the window clean.

• Tighten the cover securely.

• Use a password to prevent tampering.

• If the cover has not been installed and secured

tightly, it may take a moment for the SafeTouch buttons to properly self-calibrate when the cover is tightened.

After all connections have been completed and verified, connect the ribbon cable to the display module, fasten the display module to the base, install enclosure cover, and then apply power.

SafeTouch Button Equalize Delay

The SafeTouch buttons are designed to constantly recalibrate for ambient conditions. When the cover position is changed, the cover is removed, or an object is removed that was placed over the front window, it may take a moment for the SafeTouch buttons to recalibrate to the change in conditions.

Allow up to 2 minutes for the SafeTouch buttons to recalibrate to new conditions in these cases where the cover position was changed, or the front window is being unblocked.

Entering the K-Factor (Factr)

The meter may be scaled using the K-Factor, or conversion factor, function. Most flowmeter manufacturers provide this information with the device. Enter the K-Factor (Factr) menu and select the units defined with the K-Factor (example: pulses/gal), the decimal point with highest resolution possible, and program the K-Factor value. The meter will automatically calculate the flow rate using the K-Factor and the units and time base selected.

• Performing a K-Factor operation will override any scaling or calibration programming. Refer to Scaling & Calibration (SCALCAL) on page 34 for more information on these programming methods.

Instruction Manual

Display Units (Units)

The Units menu is used to select the display rate units and time (example: Gal/s) and the display units for total and grand total.

• The units selected in this menu are the desired display units only. The units defined by the KFactor of a flow meter are entered in the K-Factor menu as part of the Factor Unit menu programming. See K-Factor Units (FuNiT) on page 22 for details.

• This allows the display units to be different than the units defined by the flow meter, or be changed easily after initial programming. Unit conversions for rates and totals are performed automatically by the meter. See Automatic Unit Conversions on page 25 for details.

K-Factor Units (FuNiT)

Select the units defined with the K-Factor (example: pulses/gal). This is usually provided by the flowmeter manufacturer. This does not set the rate display units, and only relates to entering the K-Factor. To set or change the rate display units, see Setting the Rate Display Units (rateU) on page 23.

The K-Factor unit may be a custom unit (CUST). Automatic unit conversions are not performed when

the K-Factor unit is set to custom. See page 25 for information on the Automatic Unit Conversions feature.

K-Factor Decimal Point (dec.pt)

Set the number of decimal places necessary to enter the K-Factor value. The decimal point may be set with up to six decimal places or with no decimal point at all.

Pressing the Right arrow moves the decimal point one place to the right (including no decimal point). Pressing the Up arrow moves the decimal point one place to the left.

K-Factor Value (factr)

Enter the K-Factor value. This value is entered in Pulses/Unit as defined by the K-Factor Units parameter. Most flowmeter manufacturers provide this information with the device.

The following units may be selected as the base units for rate, total, and grand total. Time base for rate and a multiplier for total and grand total units may also be selected separately.

Automatic Unit Conversions

When switching from any standard unit of rate, total, or grand total to any other standard unit, automatic unit conversions are performed by the meter.

No unit conversions will be performed when the K-Factor Units (FuNiT) menu is set to custom (CUST).

A total or grand total unit conversion will automatically change the displayed total and grand total to the equivalent volume of the newly selected unit.

Custom Units Entry (USER)

When a custom unit is selected for rate, total, or grand total, a User menu allows for entry of the custom unit.

Any 5-digit 14-segment unit may be entered for a custom rate unit (example: mL).

Any 7-digit 14-segment unit may be entered for a custom total or grand total unit (examples: GALLONS, BOTTLES, DRUMS).

When selected for total or grand total, a custom unit will not allow a multiplier prefix. A custom total or grand total unit will allow a total or grand total conversion factor to be entered to define the unit. See Custom Units Total Conversion Factor (totCF) on page 25 for details.

PD6730 Field-Mount Pulse Input Rate/Totalizer

Example:

Open Collector Outputs (OUTPUT)

The meter is equipped with two NPN open collector outputs that may be set up for pulse outputs, alarms, timed pulses, or turned off.

Pulse outputs are based on rate, total or grand total counts, or one-for-one retransmit for input pulses. Both outputs may be used to generate a quadrature output based on any output type. An output test mode can be used to generate pulses at a constant programmable frequency.

Alarms are available based on the rate, total, or grand total. The alarm status will show on the display even if the output is not wired. The outputs may also be forced on or off.

A timed pulse output generates constant pulses at a specified frequency and on time.

A total reset output generates a pulse whenever the selected total or grand total is reset, regardless of the reset method used. The On time is programmable between 0.10 and 99,999.99 sec.

The output may be disabled by selecting Off.

Instruction Manual

Output 1 and 2 Setup (OUT 1, OUT 2)

The function of open collector output 1 and 2 is configured using the Off, Pulse, Alarm, Timer, and Total Reset menus detailed below.

Pulse Output (PUlse)

Pulse outputs may be assigned to rate, total, grand total, retransmit, quadrature, or test.

Rate Pulse Output (rate)

A rate based pulse output is a factor of the input frequency and the Count (InvK-Factor). The rate display is a factor of the input pulses, time base, and the input K-Factor. The rate of output pulses over one time base (seconds, minutes, hours, days) is defined below in terms of input pulses, the input K-Factor, and the Count (InvK-Factor) parameters.

Input = 1000 pulses/sec K-Factor = 10 pulses/gallon Rate = 100 gallons/sec

Count (InvK-Factor) = 100 gallons/pulse (Inverse K-Factor = Volume units/pulse) Pulse Output = 1 pulse/sec

Page 32

PD6730 Field-Mount Pulse Input Rate/Totalizer

Total & Grand Total Pulse Output (Total, Grtot)

A total and grand total based pulse output is a factor of the associated total and count (output InvK-Factor). A pulse will be generated for every total accumulation amount equal to the count.

If the maximum output frequency is exceeded, the meter displays the message pUlse OVERRNG alternat- ing on the display.

Retransmit Output (retr) The retransmitting pulse output will send an output

pulse for every input pulse, essentially duplicating the input signal. The output will generate a pulse at the falling edge of every input pulse.

No additional programming is required for a retransmitting pulse output.

If the maximum output frequency is exceeded, the meter displays the message pUlse OVERRNG alternat- ing on the display.

Quadrature Output (quad) The pulse output set to quadrature will duplicate the

other open collector output, but lag by ¼ duty cycle (90 degrees out of phase). For example, Out 1 will follow Out 2, if Out 1 is set to quad. Only one output should be set to quad. If both outputs are set to quad, both outputs will be disabled. The other output should be programmed as desired for the quadrature output function, and must be a pulse ( selection.

Test Output (test) The test output setting programs the output to gener-

ate pulses at a programmed constant frequency. Set the frequency decimal point location in the DECPT menu, and then enter the desired output frequency in Hz in the PULSE menu.

PUlse

) output

Instruction Manual

Alarm Output (alrm)

Alarm outputs may be assigned to rate, total, or grand total; or be forced on or off.

Rate Alarm (rate)

Program the rate set point to trigger the alarm. Rate alarm deadband is determined by the difference between set and reset points. Minimum deadband is one display count. If set and reset points are programmed the same, output will reset one count below set point.

Total or Grand Total Alarm (Total, Grtot) Program total or grand total set point. A pulse alarm is

generated when the set value is reached by the total or grand total.

If the total/grand total is set for manual reset, this alarm will remain until the total/grand total is reset to 0.

If automatic total/grand total reset is enabled, the output will generate an alarm for a period of time programmed in ADVANCE  T RESET  Auto T DELAY. After this time delay, the total/grand total will reset to 0 and the alarm will clear.

If Out 1 and Out 2 are set for total or grand total alarm, the auto reset will be triggered on the highest of the two alarm set points.

For details on setting the total or grand total automatic reset time delay, see Total Reset (T Reset) on page 36.

Force On State (On)

This alarm mode forces the output to be active, or on. This mode is primarily used to test alarm systems.

Force Off State (OFF)

This alarm mode forces the output to be inactive, or off. This mode is primarily used to test alarm systems.

Page 33

PD6730 Field-Mount Pulse Input Rate/Totalizer

Timer Output (tmer)

The timer output produces a constant width pulse at a constant rate. Program the Delay Period from 0.1 to

999999.9 seconds (time from the start of one pulse to the start of the next pulse). Program the On Time for the active low pulse from .01 to 99999.99 seconds (pulse width). The on time must be less than the delay time. Select Start to begin outputting the constant timed pulse. Select Stop to end outputting the constant timed pulse.

Total Reset Output (t rst)

A total reset output generates a pulse whenever the selected total or grand total is reset, regardless of the reset method used. Program the On Time from 0.10 to 99,999.99 seconds. This is the amount of time the open collector output will remain on after the total or grand total has been reset.

Scaling the 4-20 mA Analog Output (Aout)

The Analog Output menu is used to program the 4-20 mA output based on display values.

The 4-20 mA analog output (if equipped) can be scaled to provide a 4-20 mA signal for any display range selected for either the rate, total, or grand total. The output may be disabled (DSABL) and will only output the minimum signal.

No equipment is needed to scale the analog output; simply program two display values and corresponding mA output signals.

• Please note that when power is removed from the meter, the analog output will drop below 1 mA.

• Take this effect into consideration when designing any system using the 4-20 mA output.

Instruction Manual

Gate Function (GATE)

The gate function is used for displaying slow pulse rates. Using the programmable gate, the meter can display pulse rates as slow as 1 pulse every 9,999 seconds (0.0001 Hz). The gate function can also be used to obtain a steady display reading with a fluctuating input signal.

There are two settings for the Gate, low gate (LO) and high gate (HI).

Low Gate (LO GaTe)

For most applications, low gate setting should be left at 1 second. Increase low gate setting to obtain a steadier rate display. The rate display will update in accordance with the low gate setting, for example if low gate is set at 10, the display will update every 10 seconds; changes in rate between updates will not be reflected until next display update.

High Gate (HI GaTE)

Set the high gate value to correspond to the highest expected pulse period (lowest pulse rate). For instance if the meter must display a rate when there is 1 pulse coming into the meter every 10 seconds, set the high gate to 11 seconds. When the signal is removed from the meter, the display will show the last reading for 11 seconds; then it will read zero.

Contact Debounce Filter (FILTER)

The filter function (FILTER) can be used for applications where the meter is set up to count pulses generated by switch contacts. There are three settings, HI (high speed), nmed (medium speed), and LO (low speed). High speed disables the contact debounce filter and allows any pulse of the minimum specified width for the selected input type. Press ENTER when nmeD or LO is displayed to enable the filter function.

The medium filter ignored signals faster than 250 Hz max, or pulse widths less than 2 ms at 50% duty cycle. The low filter ignores signals higher than 100 Hz, or pulse widths less than 5 ms at 50% duty cycle.

Low-Flow Cutoff (CUTOFF)

The low-flow cutoff feature allows the meter to be programmed so that the often-unsteady output from a transmitter at low flow rates, always displays zero on the meter.

The cutoff value may be programmed from 0.1 to 99,999. Below the cutoff value, the meter will display zero. Programming the cutoff value to zero disables the cutoff feature.

Page 34

PD6730 Field-Mount Pulse Input Rate/Totalizer

Scaling & Calibration (SCALCAL)

It is very important to read the following information, before proceeding to program the meter:

• There is no need to recalibrate the meter for frequency in Hz when first received from the factory.

• The meter is factory calibrated for Hz prior to shipment. The calibration equipment is traceable to NIST standards.

• Performing a scaling or calibration operation will override any K-Factor programming. Similarly, completing the K-Factor menu will override any scaling or calibration performed on the meter. Verify the method of programming required, use the password protection feature to secure the meter if necessary.

There are three methods of programming the display to show the correct engineering units based on input pulses.

1. Use the Factor menu to enter a K-Factor.

2. Use the Scale menu to enter the scaling without a signal source.

3. Use the Calibrate menu to apply a signal from a calibrator or a flowmeter.

The K-Factor, scale, and calibrate functions are exclusive of each other. The meter uses the last function programmed. The Scale and Calibrate functions can use up to 32 points (default is 2). The number of points should be set in Scale and Calibrate accordingly under the Number of Points (nopts) menu selection prior to scaling and calibration of the meter, see page 34 for details.

This menu is used to scale and calibrate the meter. For information on using a K-Factor for programming the input, refer to Entering the K-Factor (Factr) on page 22.

Undoing K-Factor, Scale, and Calibration (Undo?)

Whenever the input programming is being changed from using K-Factor to scaling or calibration; or from scaling or calibration to K-Factor, a confirmation menu appears. This prevents accidental changing of the input programming.

The example below shows a meter programmed with a K-Factor being reprogrammed to utilize input scaling.

Instruction Manual

Scaling the Meter (SCale)

The pulse input can be scaled to display the process variable in engineering units. A signal source is not needed to scale the meter; simply program the inputs and corresponding display values.

A programmed scaled input will work with Automatic Unit Conversions as described on page 25. The units for the display values that must be entered are a combination of the programmed Rate Unit and the time unit (Time UNIT) entered in the Scale menu.

For example, if the Rate Unit is gallons, and the time unit (Time UNIT) is seconds, the units for the display values entered in the Scale menu are gallons/second.

For instructions on how to program numeric values see Setting Numeric Values, page 18.

Multi-Point Linearization (nopts)

Up to 32 linearization points can be selected under the nopts function. The multi-point linearization can be used to linearize the display for non-linear inputs.

Number of Points (nopts)

Enter number of linearization points. The default value is 2 points. For linear inputs requiring only 2 scale points, the number of points can be left at 2.

Scale Units (SCALE UNITS)

Enter the units associated with the desired scale values. Selecting the scale display units allows the meter to perform automatic unit conversions.

Page 35

PD6730 Field-Mount Pulse Input Rate/Totalizer

Pulse Input Time Unit (Time UNIT)

This is the time component for the engineering units of the display values being entered. Enter the appropriate units/second, units/minute, units/hour, or units/day that corresponds to the values being entered at the display 1-32 ( dsp) menus.

For example, if the display values are being entered in gallons/second the time unit would be set to seconds.

Scale Input and Display (INPUT, DSPLY)

Each scale input point is defined by an input frequency and a corresponding display value.

The frequency inputs may be entered with up to three decimal places. To access the decimal location digits when entering a frequency, use the Right button to scroll to the three decimal location digits.

Manual Multi-point Entry (INP, DSP)

Manual entry of the linearization data is done once the number of points has been selected (NO PTS). Input signal levels (InP 1-32) for up to 32 points, along with the desired/corresponding meter reading (dSP 1-32), should be entered for each linearization point. Each scale point (1-32) has an input value and a display value. The input value is the number of pulses/sec (frequency), and the display value is the corresponding display value for that input in the time unit selected (example: gallons per minute, or GAL/M)

• Save (save?) After entering the last display value, the calibration entries must be saved (SAUE?) before they will be put into effect. However, you may move past this selection using the Up arrow key if you need to go back and correct and earlier entry. Once confident in the entries however, the user must navigate back to the Save menu screen (SAUE?) and press the Enter key to save the changes.

Calibrating the Meter (CaL)

To scale the meter without a signal source refer to

Entering the K-Factor (Factr) on page 22 or Scaling the Meter (SCale) on page 34.

The pulse input can be calibrated to display the process in engineering units by applying the appropriate input signal and following the calibration procedure. The use of a calibrated signal source is strongly recommended. A calibrated input will work with Automatic Unit Con- versions as described on page 25. The units for the display values that must be entered are a combination of the programmed Rate Unit and the time unit (Time UNIT) entered in the Calibrate menu. For example, if the Rate Unit is gallons, and the time unit (Time UNIT) is seconds, the units for the display values entered in the Calibrate menu are gallons / second.

The multi-point linearization feature (nopts) can be used to linearize the display for non-linear signals. For instructions on how to utilize this feature, see Multi-Point Linearization (nopts), page 36.

For instructions on how to program numeric values see Setting Numeric Values, page 18.

1. Press the Up arrow button to scroll to the Calibration menu (CAL) and press Enter.

2. The meter displays nopts. For a linear signal, press Up arrow. For a non-linear signal, refer to Multi-Point Linearization (nopts), page 34.

3. The meter displays CAL UNITS. Press Enter to select the input units/pulse. The menu will read FuNiT.

4. Use the Up arrow to select the time unit. If entering display values in units/second, press Enter. Otherwise, select the time unit. Refer to Pulse Input Time Unit (Time UNIT) on page 35.

5. The meter displays inp 1. Apply a known signal and press Enter. The display will flash while accepting the signal.

6. After the signal is accepted, the meter displays dsp 1 Press Enter. Enter a corresponding display value for the signal input, and press Enter to accept.

7. The meter displays inp 2. Apply a known signal and press Enter. The display will flash while accepting the signal.

8. After the signal is accepted, the meter displays dsp 2. Press Enter. Enter a corresponding display value for the signal input and press Enter to accept.

9. After completing calibration the save? display will need to be acknowledged using the Enter key before calibration will take effect.

Instruction Manual

Page 36

PD6730 Field-Mount Pulse Input Rate/Totalizer

Error Message (Error)

An error message indicates that the calibration or scaling process was not successful. After the error message is displayed, the meter reverts to input 2 during calibration or scaling, allowing the appropriate input signal to be applied or programmed.

The error message might be caused by any of the following conditions:

1. Input signal is not connected to the proper terminals or it is connected backwards.

2. Minimum input span requirements not maintained.

3. Input 1 signal inadvertently applied to calibrate input 2.

Minimum Input Span

The minimum allowed input span is 1 Hz, which is the minimum difference between input 1 and input 2 signals required to complete the calibration or scaling of the meter.

Multi-Point Linearization (nopts)

Up to 32 linearization points can be selected under the nopts function. The multi-point linearization can be used to linearize the display for non-linear inputs. Linearization data can be entered using a known accurate signal source (InP 1-32) and then entering the desired/corresponding meter reading (dSP 1-32) for that input signal level. These points are established via direct entry (SCALE) or with an external calibration signal (CAL).

Calibration Units (CAL UNITS)

Enter the units associated with the desired scale values. Selecting the units allows the meter to perform automatic unit conversions.

Pulse Input Time Unit (Time UNIT)

This is the time component to be used when calibrating a number of input pulses per time unit to equal a certain display value.

For example, if the inputs being entered in pulses/second the time unit would be set to seconds.

parameter

Non-Resettable Grand Total

The grand total may be configured to be a nonresettable grand total. This is a permanent setting. Configuring the grand total as a non-resettable grand total locks out all setup parameters that could be used to reset the grand total or change the setup of the grand total, including input selection, rate scaling, and conversion factors.

To configure the meter for non-resettable grand total mode, enter the non-resettable grand total password listed below, into the Pass GT parameter in the Password menu.

The non-resettable grand total permanently locks the following setup menus and parameters from being changed: input selection, K-Factor, K-Factor units, grand total units, grand total conversion factor, grand total decimal point, scaling, calibration, grand total alarms, pulse input filter, and cutoff.

• Locking the meter into a non-resettable grand total is not reversible. It is a permanent meter configuration. Doing so will permanently prevent most input parameters from being altered. This should be the last step after verifying all setup parameters.

System (SYSTEM)

The system function is used to set the real time clock, set the data logger times, enable/disable the backlight, access analog output controls used in troubleshooting, store, restore, and backup restore feature, enable / disable the battery power alert symbol on the display, and review basic system information.

Set Real Time Clock (SETTIME)

The real time clock is used to trigger data log events and is recorded at every logged data point. The menu displays the date and time.

Figure 18. Date Display Example

The above display example shows the date to be June 27, at 14 hours, 32 minutes, and 36 seconds. The display date will toggle with the year.

The year, month, day, hour, and minute may all be set by the user. The real time clock will need to be reset if external power and battery power are lost.

Changing the time (hours and minutes) will reset the seconds clock to 0.

Instruction Manual

Data Log Setup (DATALOG)

The Data Log menu is used to setup and enable the data log functions. The meter may contain up to 1024 records, each containing date, time, rate, total, grand total, and log number.

There are two ways to configure the time when a data log is recorded. The Log Time feature allows up to 4 data logs to be recorded each day, at specific times. The Log Interval feature allows a data log to be recorded each time a time interval has passed. Only the Log Time or Log Interval may be active at once. While one type of data logging has been enabled, the other menu will be inaccessible.

Log Time Setup (LOGTIME)

The Log Time menu contains four log points (LOG 1 to LOG 4). Each log time is configured separately. For

each daily log time desired, enable a log, and set the log time for the hours and minutes the log is to be recorded. The time is set in real-time, based on the real time clock setup. The Log Time feature will roll-over, deleting the oldest data logs (in blocks of 8) when the log is full and new logs must be recorded. This makes it the most useful for long-term data logging.

Interval Setup (INTERVL)

The Interval menu sets the time interval for data logging. Every time interval, one data point will be recorded. To enable interval data logging, enable the feature, and set the interval time for the hours and minutes between each log. If set to F.STOP, the Log Interval feature will not delete old data, and data logging will stop when the log is full. This makes it the most useful for short periods and logging specific functions. If set to Cont, the Log Interval feature will delete the old data when full and continue logging data. The Log Interval feature will roll-over, deleting the oldest data logs (in blocks of 8) when the log is full and new logs must be recorded. This makes it the most useful for long-term data logging.

Page 42

PD6730 Field-Mount Pulse Input Rate/Totalizer

View Data Log (LOGVIEW)

The Log View menu allows on-screen browsing of the data log points stored in the meter. Data points may be navigated by viewing the log number, date and time, total, or grand total amounts. A known log may be jumped to immediately, avoiding a lengthy search for data. All logs may be deleted with the ERASE command, requiring confirmation.

Once the log records are displayed, use the Up and Right arrows to change the log entry being viewed. The Enter key changes the displayed information for the same log.

Instruction Manual

Backup & Restore (BACKUP)

The meter saves all parameter settings, and no reprogramming is necessary when power is lost and restored to the meter. The total and grand totals are saved during a power loss. Only the maximum and minimum displays are reset when power is lost

The features are used to save and restore programmed settings. Programming can be restored to a known saved good configuration, or to factory defaults. This is useful to restore meters whose programming has been altered in unknown ways, or to quickly restore known good settings if mistakes are made during reprogramming.

Backlight (BAKLITE)

The Backlight menu is used to enable or disable the backlight. This feature is particularly important for the battery-powered models with momentary backlight. This feature is not available for models with a loop output powered backlight.

Analog Output Calibration (AO CAL)

This feature is only used at the factory for calibration of the 4-20 mA analog output, if the meter has this option. It is not recommended to access this menu without instruction from technical support.

The save feature (SAvE?) saves all current parameter settings into the memory of the backup restore. The backup restore feature is loaded with factory default settings until a new configuration is saved.

The Load Backup feature (load?) restores all parameters to the programmed values stored in backup restore memory. The Load Backup feature will not affect the current password settings or allow the editing of permanently locked parameters due to the enabling of the non-resettable grand total feature. See Non-Resettable Grand Total described on page 39.

The Reset Defaults feature (deflt) restores all parameters to the factory default values. Factory default reset does not change the saved backup restore settings, override passwords, or edit parameters locked by a permanent non-resettable grand total. See Non-Resettable Grand Total, as described on page 39.

• Once meter parameters have been saved to memory by the backup restore feature there is no recovering of the previously saved settings.

• Once parameters have been loaded into the meter from the backup restore feature there is no recovering of the previously programmed settings.

Page 43

PD6730 Field-Mount Pulse Input Rate/Totalizer

Battery Power Symbol Alert (BAT SYM)

The Battery Power Symbol Alert menu is used to enable or disable the battery alert symbol on the display. This is a useful way to be aware of a power failure to a model with battery backup.

When enabled, the battery symbol will appear whenever the meter is powered as a battery backup. This is detected when the meter being powered from DC or loop-power experiences power loss, subsequently switching over to battery power.

The indicator will not appear if the meter is powered on via battery power, only when there is applied power to the DC or loop-power lines, followed by power loss. This prevents the battery indicator from appearing at all times for a primarily battery powered application.

The battery symbol will flash in a low battery condition regardless of the setting of this parameter.

Information (INFO)

The Information menu is part of the System features menu. It shows software identification number, version number, and extended model number. To view this information:

Go to the Information menu (INFO) and press Enter button.

Continue pressing Enter to scroll through the displays.

Following the information display, the meter will exit the Advanced features menu and return to Run Mode.

Instruction Manual

Serial Communications (COMM)

The Communications menu is used to setup serial communications parameters necessary for communication via Modbus.

The Modbus communications uses a 2-wire plus ground RS-485 connection with the Modbus RTU option.

When using more than one meter in a multi-drop mode, each meter must be provided with its own unique address. The meter address (Slave ID) may be programmed between 1 and 247. The baud rate may be set to 1,200; 2,400; 4,800; 9,600; 19,200; 38,400; 57,600; or 115,200 bps. The transmit delay may be set between 0 and 199 ms. The parity can be set to even, odd, or none with 1 or 2 stop bits.

Refer to the ProtEX Modbus Register Tables located at www.predig.com

for details.

Standby Mode (STANDBY)

Standby mode is available on battery powered and battery backup models only.

The Standby menu is used to enter a power-saving standby mode that will turn off the display and activate a low power mode for the through-window buttons. Signal processing operations will continue to run. This mode may be used to reduce power consumption and increase battery life when the meter is not in use.

It may take up to 3 seconds for the meter to enter standby mode after confirming the flashing display with the Enter button.

Wakeup the Meter (WAKEUP?)

To bring the meter out of standby mode, press any button and Wakeup (WAKEUP?) will flash. If using SafeTouch buttons, it may be required to hold the button for several seconds.

Additional Parameters & Notes

Reset Meter to Factory Defaults

Reset to factory defaults will restore most meter parameters to their factory default setting.

When the parameters have been changed in a way that is difficult to determine what’s happening, it might be better to start the setup process from the factory defaults.

Factory default reset does not change the saved backup restore settings, override passwords, or edit parameters locked by a permanent non-resettable grand total. See Non-Resettable Grand Total, as de- scribed on page 39.

Instructions to load factory defaults can be found in the Backup & Restore (BACKUP) menu on page 42.

Troubleshooting

Certain sequences of events can cause unexpected results. To solve these issues, it is best to start fresh from factory defaults and use the manual as a step by step programming guide, rather than a random approach to programming. See Reset Meter to Factory Defaults on page 46 for details on resetting the meter to factory defaults. In addition, for best results, we recommend using the free MeterView EX software for all programming needs.
