4220 Flow Meter

 

 

Section 2

Programming

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After you have determined what condition will signal the

 

 

sampler and under what circumstances, the following menu will

 

 

appear:

 

 

 

 

 

 

SELECT OPERATOR

 

 

 

• DONE • • OR • • AND •

 

 

 

SELECT OPERATOR allows you to trigger the sampler from a

 

 

single condition or from two conditions. Suppose you wanted to

 

 

trigger the sampler from only one condition and that condition

 

 

was LEVEL. You would select level as the condition, and then

 

 

identify what change in LEVEL would be the trigger. Then you

 

 

would select DONE for the SELECT OPERATOR step. Selection

 

 

of DONE will advance the flow meter to the next program step.

 

 

However, suppose you wanted to select two conditions, either of

 

 

which would trigger the sampler. In such a case you would select

 

 

OR for the SELECT OPERATOR step. The menu will return to

 

 

the one listing the conditions. This will let you define the second

 

 

condition. Now the flow meter will trigger the sampler when

 

 

either condition changes.

 

 

Finally, suppose you had a situation where you wanted changes

 

 

in two conditions to occur before you signalled the sampler. In

 

 

that case you would select AND for the SELECT OPERATOR

 

 

step. Then you would define the second condition. Now the flow

 

 

meter will signal the sampler only after both conditions have

 

 

changed.

 

 

The next screen on the flow meter (after you have established the

 

 

conditions for sampler pacing) will request the following.

 

 

(Entering 0 sends no pulses.)

 

 

 

 

 

CONDITION TRUE PACING INTERVAL

 

 

 

PACE EVERY X MINUTES

 

 

 

This option allows you to send flow pulses periodically to the

 

 

sampler during the time the conditions you established for

 

 

sampler pacing are being met. Then:

 

 

 

 

 

CONDITION FALSE PACING INTERVAL

 

 

 

PACE EVERY X MINUTES

 

 

 

This option allows you to send flow pulses periodically to the

 

 

sampler during the time the conditions you established for

 

 

sampler pacing are not being met. Again, entering 0 sends no

 

 

pulses.

Step 6 - Sampler

The operation of step 6 Sampler Enable is similar to step 5,

 

Enable

Sampler Pacing. The menus and options are similar. The dif-

 

 

ference is that where sampler pacing only causes the flow meter

 

 

to send a momentary signal (flow pulse) to the sampler, sampler

 

 

enabling actually controls an inhibit line to the sampler that can

 

 

keep the sampler from running its program. Sampler enabling is
