Base Temperature

The Base Temperature parameter appears as a factor in the Corrected Volume calculation. It is one of the factors used to correct the flowing volume, as registered by the meter itself, to the base volume used for calculating “Standard Volume”. The default value of this parameter is 60.000 degrees F.

Calibrate Mode Time-out

The fractional portion of this parameter is the Calibrate Mode Time-out. It controls how long the unit will remain powered up in the calibration mode if no key is being pressed. For example, a calibration time-out of 30 minutes would be entered as XX.30. The default value is 60.30.

Calibration Password

A password can be entered to prevent unauthorized users from accessing calibration mode. The value may be up to six digits long (including the decimal point and sign). The Default value is 0.

Configuration Password

A password can be entered to prevent unauthorized users from accessing configuration mode. The value may be up to six digits long (including the decimal point and sign). The Default value is 0.

Corrected Pulse Output -Cubic Unit / Pulse This parameter should reflect the value of the corrected pulse output sent from the station to an external device. For example, if each output pulse represents 1000 cubic feet, then this parameter should be set to 1000. The Default value is 1000.

Corrected Pulse Out Enable/Disable Corrected pulses can be sent to an external device by enabling the Pulse Output Channel. The rate at which pulses are generated is determined by the Corrected Pulse Out - CF per Pulse parameter. To enable Relay #1 for pulse output, enter a value of 35.8. Enter -1to disable. The Default value is -1.

C - 2

Corrected Volume

The corrected volume is calculated based upon AGA report #7 or #8 and reflects the corrected volumetric flow taking the base conditions into consideration. The Initial value is 0.

Corrected Volume (Pressure Only)

The corrected volume is calculated based upon AGA report #7 and reflects the corrected volumetric flow taking only the Pressure base conditions into consideration. The temperature factors have no effect. The Initial value is 0.

Corrected Volume and Flow Multiplier This multiplier specifies the output value for corrected volume and flow. For example, if the device is to measure flow in thousands of cubic feet (MCF), select Thousands (1000's) of units from the pick list. The Default value is 1000.

Counter Fault Monitoring (EFC Only)

This parameter can be used to enable or disable fault monitoring on the main counter #1. Form C (3-wire) input is required for this function. In this mode, two working counters are monitored for discrepancies. A “Delta” value will be accumulated which reflects any discrepancies between the counters. If any of the dual-reed switches should be defective, and the “Delta” exceeds the Counter Fault Threshold parameter, the input pulses will automatically switch to either working single- ended counter. The EFC will generate a Faulty Counter alarm. To enable, set this parameter to 1 and to disable set to 0. The default value is 0 for disable.
