*10 dial reading is not supported by the encoder protocol. When the meter is configured, the display settings for number of dials and resolution are based
on what the encoder protocol can support. For example, if the encoder output is enabled (V1 or V2) and you try to select 10 dials, the display shows an error
dialog since this is an invalid configuration for the encoder. If the encoder output is not enabled, a selection of up to 10 digits is available.
IMPORTANT
The totalizers are represented in a manner equivalent to an actual encoder. For example, 1 USG on a 4 dial is transmitted/displayed
as “0001”. If in bidirectional mode, –1 USG is transmitted/displayed as “9999”.
The protocol type has two options:
• V1 – meter provides single totalizer, Tn (bidirectional) or T1 (unidirectional)
• V2 – meter provides extended information (For ORION Cellular, ORION Fixed Network (SE) or ORION Migratable (ME))
The additional information provided by protocol type V2 is only accessible for specific models of the encoder (for example,
ORION SE or ORION ME). The additional information of protocol type V2 includes status information of the meter, meter
identification, a second totalizer reading (T+ or T2), relative flow rate (0…100%) and flow direction.
Store/Restore Feature
The Store/Restore feature is intended to save installation costs and reduce installation time. This feature is also intended to
protect meter configuration and assure the operator that the meter is properly configured. Over time and handling of the
meter, the meter configuration could change. The Store/Restore feature allows the meter to be quickly set to the operator’s
original configuration. Refer to the M2000 Store/Restore user manual for details on this feature.
Data Logging Feature
The Data Logging feature records three types of events to a memory token:
• Totalizer/error events
• Configuration change events
• Startup events (power up, power down or reset events)
Each type of event is recorded into three separate files stored on the memory token. These files are extracted using the
provided flow meter tool software over the RS232 communication link. Refer to the M2000 Data Logging user manual for
details on this feature.
