Category Parameter Meaning Option Description
Transducer
Type Transducer type Menu selection
Selects the transducer that will be connected to the transmitter. Select the
appropriate transducer type from the drop-down list. This selection influences
transducer spacing and transmitter performance, so it must be correct. If you are
unsure about the type of transducer to which the transmitter will be connected,
consult the shipment packing list or call the manufacturer for assistance.
A change of transducer type will cause a system configuration error 1002: Sys
Config Changed to occur. This error will clear when power to the transmitter is
cycled.
Mount

method

Selects the orientation of the transducers on the piping system. See “Transducer
Installation” on page 15 and Table 2 on page 17 for detailed information
regarding transducer mounting modes for particular pipe and liquid
characteristics. Whenever the transducer mounting mode is changed, power to
the transmitter must be cycled.
Frequency
Transducer

frequency
1 MHZ
2 MHZ
Selects a transmission frequency for the various types of transducers. In general,
the larger the pipe the slower the transmission frequency needs to be to attain a
good signal.

Spacing

spacing
ENGLISH (Inches)
METRIC
(Millimeters)
A value calculated by the transmitter’s firmware that takes into account pipe,
liquid, transducer and mounting information. The spacing adapts as these
parameters are modified. The spacing is given in inches for English units or
millimeters for metric. This value is the lineal distance that must be between the
transducer alignment marks. Selection of the proper transducer mounting method
is not entirely predictable and many times is an iterative process.
OTE:N This setting only applies to DTTR, DTTN and DTTH transducers.
Flow Direction
Transducer flow
direction
FORWARD
REVERSE
Allows the change of the direction the transmitter assumes is forward. When
mounting transmitters with integral transducers, use this feature to reverse
upstream and downstream transducers, making upside-down mounting of the
display unnecessary.
