17.2 Fully Metered Control Expansion Options
The table below shows the Expansion Options used for configuring Direct Modbus.
# Default Range Description
FM: Fuel Flow Meter Offset
FM: Air Flow Meter Offset
FM: Fully Metered Function
The fully metered function maintains the commissioned heat input and
fuel-air ratio based on 4-
20mA signals from the fuel and air mass or
volume flow meters. External water level sensor and 4-
20mA fuel flow
feedback must be disabled.
The fuel-air ratio is derived from the mass flow rates of the fuel and air
going into the burner. The fuel flow meter is wired to terminals EX+ and
EX-, and the 4-20mA signal is scaled by setting expansion option 142. For
setting 0, a volume flow meter is used and a displayed mass flow rate is
calculated using either internal constants or via measured
temperature/pressures. For setting 1, a mass flow meter is used to the
display the mass flow rate, when using a fuel mass flow meter, expansion
options 145 and 147 must be set to 0. Setting 2 is the same as setting 0
but for a volume meter with square root extraction included.

FM: Fuel Flow Meter Scaling
The fuel flow meter is scaled by setting the flow rate at 20mA feedback
from the flow meter.
The air flow meter is wired to terminals MF and F-, and the 4-20mA signal
is scaled in expansion option 144. For setting 0, a volume flow meter is
used and a displayed mass flow rate is calculated using either internal
constants or via measured temperature/pressures. For setting 1, a mass
flow meter is used to the display the mass flow rate, when using a fuel
mass flow meter, expansion options 146 and 148 must be set to 0. Setting
2 is the same as setting 0 but for a volume meter with square root
extraction included.

FM: Air Flow Meter Scaling
The air flow meter is scaled by setting the flow rate at 20mA feedback
from the flow meter.
