Instantaneous/Total Flow from Pressure Sensor

The basic flow is determined from a differential pressure sensor, this paticular application uses two sensors to improve sensitivity at the low end of the range;

  • CH1 4-20mA measures 0-60mbar
  • CH2 4-20mA measures 0-1300mbar
  • When the pressure is below 52mbar (Con_a) then CH1 is used, when the pressure is above 57mbar (Con_a + Con_b) measured on CH1 then CH2 is used in the equation to determine flow.

    Where;
    • H = Measured pressure (mbars) measured from CH1 or CH2.
    • Q = flow
    • Z = a constant squared (we will recall the value of the constant squared from tables 3, 2 and 1 as it varies with pressure.

All calculated results are stored as follows;

  • Mem9 stores the measured pressure used in the calculation.
  • Mem4 stores the calculated flow
  • Mem5 stores the calculated flow (mega litres per day)
  • Mem6 stores total Mega Litres per day ML'. As calculation occurs every 500mS
    .

ML/Day Counter Reset

  • When P1 (pulse input 1) is active the value in Mem6 is copied into Mem7 'ML last' to store previous count value and reset Mem6 to zero for a new count.

Hot Key Display

  • Press 'UP' will display Mem4 'm3/hr'.
  • Press 'DOWN will display Mem5 'ML/d'
  • Press 'BACK' will display Mem6 'ML'.
  • Press 'NEXT' will display Mem7 'ML last'
  • Press 'UP' + 'DOWN' together will display 'CH1 mbar'.
  • Press 'UP' + 'BACK' together will display 'CH2 mbar'.

Set Decimal Point on ACCESS Module

  • Remove ACCESS MODULE from USC701.
  • Adjust select switch to position 1.
  • Fit ACCESS MODULE on USC701.
  • Press 'BACK' to reduce decimal places (this application should have 0); press 'NEXT' to increase the number of decimal points.
  • Remove ACCESS MODULE from USC701.
  • Adjust select switch to position 0.
  • Hot key display procedure above will now resume operation.
