Menu Manager Configuration Errors
Error Description Recommended Action
100 ADE®: Configuration of the ADE
interface is invalid.
This error is displayed when an invalid modification to any of the following menu parameters is
detected: Protocol Type, Dial Type, Totalizer Resolution, Digital Input Function Type or Digital Output
Function Type.
1. Conguring the meter as an ADE interface has the following limitations: Protocol Type V1 is only
allowed if number of dials is less than 8.
2. The Totalizer Resolution must be set to something other than OFF.
3. For 8 dial conguration, a resolution of 10000 and 1000 are not supported. There are not enough
display digits to accommodate 8 dials and greater than 100 units of resolution.
4. For 7 dial conguration, a resolution of 10000 is not supported. There are not enough display
digits to accommodate 7 dials and greater than 1000 units of resolution.
101 ADE: Enabling/Disabling ADE
operation is invalid
This error is observed when Digital input or output function is manually selected for ADE operation.
Enabling or Disabling ADE operation can only be accomplished by setting the ADE protocol type.
110 Output 1/2: Pulse Output
Configuration Error
This error is observed when improperly configuring either the Full Scale Flow, pulse per unit, pulse
width or digital output function type for pulse output operation. Preparing these parameters for pulse
output operation (forward or reverse) has limitations that are monitored by the menu manager.
This error can indicate the following configuration violations:
• Pulse Frequency exceeds limits at Full Scale Flow
• Pulse duty cycle is less than 50% at Full Scale Flow (pulse on time > pulse off time)
• AMR Pulse Frequency exceeds limit at Full Scale Flow
The pulse frequency limit is 10 kHz when the pulse width is 0 (50% duty cycle).
The pulse frequency limit is 1/(2 * Pulse Width) when the pulse width is non-zero in order to achieve a
50% duty cycle.
For AMR operation, the frequency limit is 3 HZ.
Follow these steps for configuring meter for pulse output operation:
1. Set PPU to zero for both output 1 and 2.
2. If necessary, set Full Scale Flow appropriately for application.
3. Set PW as required by the equipment receiving pulse transmissions from the meter. Observe
frequency limits for non-zero pulse widths.
4. Determine the needed pulse frequency at a typical ow rate (for example, 1000 HZ @ 250 GPM).
5. Calculate ratio of typical ow rate to Full Scale Flow: ratio = typical ow rate/Full Scale Flow (for
example, 250 GPM/500 GPM = 0.5).
6. Calculate ow rate conversion factor: For GPM, conversion factor = 1/60, for GPH, conversion
factor = 1/3600, for GPS, conversion factor = 1.
7. Calculate PPU: PPU = (Needed pulse frequency at typical ow rate/ratio)/[ Full Scale Flow *
(conversion factor) ]= (1000/0.5)/[500 * (1/60) ] = 240 Pulse/Gallon.
8. If you receive an error consider reducing value of Full Scale Flow and making sure pulse frequency
is within limits. Then redo steps 4…7.
If not using the pulse outputs, set the pulses per unit to zero to allow for re-configuration of the Full
Scale Flow. If required to use the pulse outputs, re-evaluate the pulse output configuration. Consider
recording and clearing totalizers following pulse output configuration.
120 Display: Totalizer Conversion
Error– Totalizer cannot be properly
converted for display
This error is observed while trying to change the totalizer units. Limits of display prevent improper
configuration of the volume unit dependent on current totalizer values. Consider recording and
cleaning totalizers prior to changing totalizer.
121 Output 1/2: Pulse Output
Configuration Error
This error is observed when changing the totalizer units of measure. This error implies the pulse
configuration exceeds limits (see error 110). Please note the pulses per unit are not automatically
updated on volume unit re-configuration. The pulses per unit should be manually changed to
accommodate the units of measure. It may be necessary to set the pulses per unit to zero, then
change the totalizer units.
140 Output 3: Configuration Error – Full
scale frequency exceeds limits of
relay (1000 Hz)
Reduce full scale frequency output setting when hardware is configured for relay operation.
150 Output 3: Configuration Error
– Full scale frequency exceeds
limits(10kHz)
Reduce full scale frequency output setting when hardware is configured for open collectoroperation.
170 Output 1/2: Output Type
Configuration Error
This error is observed when the function type is 24V DC and the output type is changed from
Normally Open to Normally Closed. Normally Open output type is required for 24V DC output
operation.
171 Output 1/2: Output Type
Configuration Error
This error is observed when the function type is ADE and the output type is changed from Normally
Open to Normally Closed. Normally Open output type is required for ADE operation.
190 Full Scale Flow: Entered Value
exceeds limits
Value entered exceeds the absolute maximum flow the meter supports. Reduce the value for this
parameter or consider increasing pipe diameter.
