4 Configuration
After the mechanical and electrical installation is complete and connectivity is
established, use the MeterLink Software for Gas and Liquid Ultrasonic Meters Quick
Start Manual (00809-0100-7630) to setup initial communications with the meter.
4.1 Set up MeterLink
Procedure
1. Follow the instructions in the MeterLink
™
Software for Gas and Liquid
Ultrasonic Meters Quick Start Manual (00809-0100-7630) to setup software
communications with the meter.
2. Select File → Program Settings and customize the user-preferences (for
example, User name, Company name, display units, Liquid Meter volume
units, and other interface settings).
3. Connect to your meter. If your meter is not shown in the list, select Edit
Meter Directory and setup the connections properties.
4.1.1 Field Setup Wizard using MeterLink
Procedure
1. Use the Field Setup Wizard-Startup and select the checkboxes that allow
proper configuration for your meter (Temperature, Pressure, Meter
Corrections, and Meter Outputs).
Selections on this page will affect other configuration selections. Select Next
to continue to General setup.
2. Use General setup to configure the meter’s system units (U.S Customary or
Metric units) volume units, flow rate time, low flow cutoff, contract hour and
enable reverse flow.
Select Next to continue to Frequency Outputs.
Note
The Meter’s Units system configured on the General Page affect the units
for the optional Local Display items.
3. Set the Frequency/Digital Outputs Sources for either a frequency output or
a digital status. Select the Source for each Frequency/Digital output and
select the desired drive Mode. The Mode options are Open Collector which
requires an external excitation voltage and pull-up resistor or TTL mode
which outputs a 0-5 VDC signal.
Note
Frequency outputs 1 and Digital outputs 1 are paired together meaning the
Digital outputs 1 will report the status for the parameter for Frequency
outputs 1. Similarly, Frequency outputs 2 and Digital outputs 2 are paired
together. Additionally, each Frequency output has an A and B output phase.
