Scales

Unlike many conventional measurement instruments, the PrimeProbe2 has

two ranges (N.1 and N.2). Fs2 is more likely to be used with 4-20mA

outputs, but one of the outputs must be configured to indicate a change in

range.

The Scales menu includes the following parameters:

 Fs1 Represents the Full Scale value for Range N.1

 Fs2 Represents the Full Scale value for Range N.2

For normal operation, select Fs1 to be a value (depending on the pipe size

entered) equivalent to a flow velocity of 16 feet per second (5 m/s).

Note: It is very important to select the appropriate values for Fs1

and Fs2. These numbers will be the basis for future parameters

(e.g., both Flow Cutoffs and Thresholds are described as a

percentage of Full Scale)

 Tot. MU Represents the units of measure as well as the number of

decimal places in the totalizers. Change these parameters in the

same way used to change any other parameter. Position the cursor

over the appropriate parameter, press Enter, and then use the up-

arrow to change the values.

 Imp1 Represents the pulse value of channel-1, the volume of each

pulse. Complete three fields for IMP1:

 Unit of Measurement

 Type of Unit

 Numeric Value

Use the right-arrow to position the cursor between the units of

measurement and the numerical value and then use the up-arrow to

change the units of measure.

Pressing the right-arrow for 1 second will confirm the changes to

the units of measure. Next, use the right-arrow to move to the

numerical values, and use the up-arrow to scroll through each

location 0-9. Pressing the up-arrow for more than a second will

confirm the numerical selection and move the cursor to the right.

 Imp2 Represents the pulse value for channel-2. Configure it in

the same manner as Imp2. For ADS data loggers, keep this value

the same as IMP1.

 Tpul1 Represents the duration of the pulse generated on Channel-

1. This parameter is measured in milliseconds (ms) and must be

between 16 and 9999.99 ms. Use the up-arrow and the right-arrow

to set these values. The value should be 16 ms for a PrimeLog

Note: The user must determine whether the duration of the pulse

is compatible with the external device to which it is connected.
