Open Channel Monitoring (P600 to P621) [MR 200]
Open Channel Monitoring (OCM) operation is a MultiRanger 200 feature only.
If the MultiRanger is used to monitor open channel flow, alter the following parameters
as required and run a calibration as described in P621.
The MultiRanger measures head as referenced to Empty (P006) or OCM Zero Offset
(P605), when Operation is set for OCM (P001 = 6). Flowrate, based on head (at the point of
measure specified by the Primary Measuring Device fabricator) is also calculated and
displayed on the LCD.
Some Primary Measuring Devices require a longer Range Extension (P801) to avoid
entering the LOE failure state if the water level falls below the zero point of the Primary
Measuring Device. See
P801 Range Extension
on page 200 for more information.
