FPM100 User’s Manual

3.2.2 Configuring Label

Program this parameter with a text string which identifies the particular parameter being monitored by this channel. Maretron display products will display this label text when you are selecting data to display.

3.2.3 Configuring Pressure at 4mA

Program this parameter to match the pressure reading of the pressure transducer when it is sourcing a current of 4mA. You can determine this value by examining the specification of the pressure transducer being used.

3.2.4 Configuring Pressure at 20mA

Program this parameter to match the pressure reading of the pressure transducer when it is sourcing a current of 20mA. You can determine this value by examining the specification of the pressure transducer being used.

3.2.5 Configuring Source

You can configure a “Source” descriptor to be transmitted with the pressure reading which is used to provide an indication of the source of the pressure data for this channel. Choices are as follows:

1.Water Pressure

2.Atmospheric Pressure

3.Compressed Air Pressure

4.Hydraulic Pressure

5.Steam Pressure

6.16 User Defined pressure sources (User Defined 129 – User Defined 144)

3.2.6Configuring Data Damping Period

You can configure a damping parameter to smooth the pressure readings or make them more responsive. The data damping is configurable between 0.2-25.0 seconds. The default data damping for a channel in Pressure/Vacuum mode is 3.0 seconds.

3.3 Configuring a Channel in Tank Mode

The following sections describe the parameters that are available for configuration for a channel which has been set to Tank mode.

3.3.1 Configuring Label

Program this parameter with a text string which identifies the particular parameter being monitored by this channel. Maretron display products will display this label text when you are selecting data to display.
