Conversion Factor (units / Litre)
Millilitres (cubic
centimetres)
For any units that are not available in the above table the user may choose to select ‘Custom’
units. Once this has been selected the user will be prompted to enter a conversion factor. For
example, to configure the instrument for decalitres select ‘Custom’ units and enter a
conversion factor of 0.1 decalitres per litre.
The user may also select units of mass, either kilograms or pounds. Please note that this will
always be a less accurate measurement than if you are displaying a volume unit, as we are
assuming a fixed density for the measured liquid. This would only be accurate if you have a
very stable temperature. Once a unit of mass is selected by the user they will be prompted to
enter the number of mass units per Litre; either kilograms/litre or pounds/litre.
For kilograms this is equivalent to the specific gravity of the liquid.
5.4 Time-base for Rate
The time-base for the Rate display may be selected from any of the following; units/second,
units/minute, units/hour, units/day. The Rate time-base setting will determine the units used
in programming the setpoints for the high alarm or low alarm.
5.5 Decimal Places
Decimal places are separately adjustable for Total, Accumulated Total, and Rate from zero to
three decimal places. The decimal places setting for Rate will set the available decimal places
for the high alarm or low alarm. The decimal place settings for Total and Accumulated Total do
not affect any other settings.
