MTEK6000 SERIES USER'S MANUAL

Supercompressibilty Calculated or Fixed This parameter is used to set the mode for supercompressibility calculations. If it is set to 0, then a new supercompressibility value will be calculated each time the process executes. If set to 1, the unit will use the value set in the Fixed Supercompressibility Value parameter for calculations. The Default value is 0. (Calculated)

Fixed Supercompressibility Value

If supercompressibility is Fixed, this parameter should be set to the desired fixed value. If supercompressibility is Calculated, any value entered will be ignored. The Default is 1.

Time HHMMSS (Hours, Minutes, Seconds)

This is the current military time in the unit. It is updated on each process scan.

Uncorrected Pulse Out Enable/Disable Uncorrected pulses can be sent to an external device by enabling the Pulse Output Channel. The Uncorrected Pulse Output - CF per Pulse parameter, determines the rate at which pulses are generated. An optional relay is required for the pulse output. To enable Relay #4 for pulse output, enter a value of 35.2. Enter -1to disable. The Default value is -1. (Disable)

Uncorr Pulse Output - CF per Pulse

This parameter should reflect the value of the uncorrected pulse output 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 is 1000.

Uncorrected Volume

The uncorrected index represents the total index volume registered by the station. When changing this number, you will normally enter the number that appears on the mechanical index attached to the station. The Default value is 0.

C - 6

Uncorrected Volume & Flow Multiplier This multiplier specifies the output value for uncorrected 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.

Wake Up Interval (seconds)

This parameter specifies the time (in seconds) that the unit will wake up, execute the station processes and perform all calculations. Because the setting of this parameter directly affects battery life, care should be exercised to ensure that this item is set to the longest interval possible for satisfactory operation. The default values are as follow:

Battery or Solar unit

600 seconds - (Use if the unit powers up and down and the Wake up on pulse parameter (EFC only) is set to 0). The unit will wake up every 10 minutes to execute the station processes and calculate a new flow rate.

3600 seconds - (Use if the Wake up on pulse parameter is not 0 to allow for history recording - EFC’s only).

AC or Solar units

0 seconds - (Use if the unit is to be powered up at all times). Calculations will be performed on each process scan (approximately every 3.5 seconds).

Wake Up On Pulse - event driven (EFC)

If this parameter is greater than 0, the EFC will wake-up on the specified number of pulses (meter revolutions). During wake-up, pressure, temperature, and the rest of the analog channels are sampled, and the unit executes the processes and run calculations.
