Setting the Ambient
Temperature
(The 3102/3105)
Screen display: t
Factory default value: Auto
The transmitter has an integral temperature sensor to measure the
temperature of the air space surrounding it so that the speed of sound can be
correctly computed for sending pulses. The distance-to-target is then
calculated using the formula:
Distance to target = Speed of Sound in air * (Time for echo to return / 2)
Auto indicates the transmitter is set to continuously measure the temperature
using the integral temperature sensor. It may, occasionally, be necessary to
over-ride this automatic monitoring and fix the temperature to be used in
speed-of-sound calculations, for example if the air temperature is not uniform
and the temperature being recorded is not the true air temperature.
NOTE:
This menu option is in the engineering menu “Eng”. See “Accessing the
Engineering Menu (The 3102/3105)” on page 5-6 or see Figure C-4 on
page C-5 for a map of the menu structure.
To edit and fix the temperature:
a) After entering the “Eng” menu (see the note above), press the green
button
repeatedly until “t” is indicated.
b) Press the blue button
to enter the temperature menu. The display
indicates the present setting.
c) If this setting is correct, press the red button
to exit to the menu.
(The menu optiont” re-appears”.)
d) Press the blue button
to start the editing mode. If the present setting is
“Auto”, press the green button
to change to a three digit number. The
first of the three digits flashes to indicate a number can now be edited.
e) Press the green button
repeatedly to edit the flashing digit.
(To restore the “Auto” setting, scroll past “9” and press the red button
to
save and exit.)
f) Press the blue button
to move to the next digit. The digit flashes to
indicate it can be edited.
g) Repeat steps (e) and (f) until the last digit is flashing, and edited as
required.
h) Press the blue button
