2.4 Design of the measuring system
(considering Promag 30 F as example)
Operation/Local display
Inside the housing of the transmitter there are miniature switches with which
altogether six operating parameters can be set (see page 37):
• Current range 0/4...20 mA
• Full-scale value scaling (volume/time), 8 steps
• Pulse weighting in decadic steps (volume), 8 steps
• Engineering units
• Function of the status output
Output of system/process errors
Flow direction recognition
• Creep suppression (on/off)
Using the Promag 30 local display, important parameters can be read off and
controlled at the measuring point directly:
• Flow rate and/or totaliser value
• Technical units (SI/US units)
• Process variables (e.g. creep rate, partial pipe filling)
• Error messages
Using the three operating keys, it is also possible to select and activate various
functions. A small pin is used to press the keys down (keep pressed for
approx. 0.5...0.8 s).
