Model ST98 Flow Meter 3 - 4 Doc. No. 06EN003291 Rev. A
Detailed Menu Description
This section describes the menu of commands. The commands are listed in alphabetical order with no order of
priority.
Note: Menu Commands are initiated by pressing the appropriate character key followed by the ENTER key.
COMMAND:
A. Analog Input
Summary:
Permits the user to display the Analog To Digital (A/D number) of the eight analog input channels. The A/D
number has a span of 0-4096 counts which is proportional to 0-4 V at the input to the A/D converter. Channels 0
through 3 receive a signal voltage that has been amplified by a factor of nine. Channels 4 through 7 are not
amplified.
These numbers can help a technician determine the cause of a problem with the installation or operation of the
flowmeter. FCI recommends making a note of these readings.
Description:
When command [A] [ENTER] is pressed, the instrument will respond by displaying the signal for Channel 0.
Continually pressing the [ENTER] key displays the rest of the channels and will rotate back to channel 0 following
the Channel 7 selection. This command is useful in trouble shooting incorrectly wired instruments and open flow
elements. This is a view only selection, the user has no other input commands.
Channel Signal Name
Number
Example:
Pressing [A] [Enter] displays “Ch(0): xxxx”
[Enter] displays “Ch(1): xxxx”
[Enter] displays “Ch(2): xxxx”
[Enter] displays “Ch(3): xxxx”
[Enter] displays “Ch(4): xxxx”
[Enter] displays “Ch(5): xxxx”
[Enter] displays “Ch(6): xxxx”
[Enter] displays “Ch(7): xxxx”
[Enter] displays “Ch(0): xxxx”
Note: Pressing [Q] [ENTER] at any time will exit this menu item and display “Input mode ?<”.
Purpose and Symptom

1 -8 Volt Supply Monitor Check for -8 Volt Supply limits.
2 Sensed mA Output Load Monitor Used in calculating the output load in ohms.
3 +20 Volt Supply Monitor Check for +20 Volt Supply limits.
4 ACT_SEN - REF_SEN Raw Delta-R Raw flow signal with gain of 1, used for lower flow rate.
5 HTR_SEN - GND Sensed Heater Voltage Check the condition of the heater.
6 Circuit Board Temperature Monitor Check for Circuit Board Temperature limits.
7 REF_SEN - GND_SEN Sensed Ref-R Used to measure the reference sensor for process temp.
