 MTEK6000 SERIES USER'S MANUAL 
January 2002  3 -3 
For transport or interruptible customers, this 
parameter can be used to alarm when an 
account has exceeded a predetermined daily 
volume allocation. 
Faulty Counter Alarm (EFC)  
This alarm is only valid for EFC units with a 
Form C switch. If any of the dual-reed 
switches in the index assembly fail, pulses 
to the unit would automatically switch to a 
working counter input. When this happens, 
the unit generates a Faulty Counter alarm 
(see the section on Pulse Input to the 
MTEK6000 in chapter 2 for more details). 
First Time Power Alarm  
First Time Power alarm is defined as the re-
application of power after interruption of the 
power source. For example, whenever the 
battery is disconnected and then 
subsequently reconnected, the unit records 
the First Time Power event. 
High Flow Rate Alarm (EFC & EFM) 
If the flow rate should exceed the High Flow 
Rate Alarm Setpoint, a High Flow Rate 
alarm will be initiated. The alarm will 
remain active until the flow rate falls below 
the High Flow Rate Reset parameter value.  
The setpoints are user configurable with 
default values of 100000 and 99990 
respectively (see Appendix A for parameter 
addressing for your device). 
High Differential Pressure Alarm (EFM) 
If the differential pressure should exceed the 
High Differential Pressure Alarm Setpoint, a 
High Differential Pressure alarm will be 
initiated. The alarm will remain active until 
the differential pressure falls below the High 
Differential Pressure Reset parameter value.  
The setpoints are user configurable with 
default values of 1500 and 1480 respectively 
(see Appendix A for parameter addressing 
for your device). 
High Pressure Alarm  
If the gas pressure should exceed the High 
Pressure Alarm Setpoint, a High Pressure 
alarm will be initiated. The alarm will 
remain active until the pressure falls below 
the High Pressure Reset parameter value.  
The setpoints are user configurable with 
default values of 1500 and 1480 respectively 
(see Appendix A for parameter addressing 
for your device). 
High Temperature Alarm  
If the gas flow temperature should exceed 
the High Temperature Alarm Setpoint, a 
High Temperature alarm will be initiated.  
The alarm will remain active until the 
temperature falls below the High 
Temperature Reset parameter value. The 
setpoints are user configurable with default 
values of 200 and 180 respectively (see 
Appendix A for parameter addressing for 
your device). 
Low Differential Pressure Alarm (EFM) 
If the differential pressure should fall below 
the Low Differential Pressure Alarm 
Setpoint, a Low Differential Pressure 
alarm will be initiated. The alarm will 
remain active until the differential pressure 
rises above the Low Differential Pressure 
Reset parameter value. The setpoints are 
user configurable with default values of -
100 and -80 respectively (see Appendix A 
for parameter addressing for your device). 
Low Flow Rate Alarm (EFC & EFM) 
If the flow rate should fall below the Low 
Flow Rate Alarm Setpoint, a Low Flow 
Rate alarm will be initiated. The alarm will 
remain active until the flow rate rises above 
the Low Flow Rate Reset parameter value.  
The setpoints are user configurable with 
default values of -100 and -80 respectively 
(see Appendix A for parameter addressing 
for your device).
