P10 Total Dropout %
Defines the limit, in percentage of the design rate, below which material rates will not be totallized. A value of
zero will permit the Compu-M to count up or down. Relay contact closures for remote totalization will not
continue until the Compu-M totalized value regains the amount by which it counted down.
enter: limit in percentage of design rate (F = 3.000)
P11 Damping
Defines the level of damping to be applied to the Compu-M local display values and the Analog mA Output.
The range of possible values is 1 to 9999 with values of 1 to 50 being typical operating values. The greater the
damping value, the slower the Compu-M displays and analog output will respond to a change in Rate. Refer to
P18 for additional Analog mA Output damping.
enter: Damping, as determined, (F = 1.000)
P12 Rate Output
Defines the span of the Analog mA Output which corresponds proportionally to the material rate registered by
the Compu-M.
enter: 1 = 4 - 20 mA (F)
2 = 0 - 20 mA
P13 Minimum Output Adjust
Permits limited adjustment of the Compu-M minimum Rate Output (as selected by P12). This adjustment may
be used to match the minimum input required by the attached external device. e.g. mA meter.
The following display values are not crucial but represent typical Compu-M displays. If P12 = 1, (4 mA min.
output) the Compu-M will display a value ≅ 600. If P12 = 2, (0 mA min. output) the Compu-M will display a
value ≅ 0.
To increase the output press
"4"
. To decrease the output press
"8"
. The Compu-M display value will increase
or decrease in relation to the change in the analog mA output.
e.g. P12 = 1
select P13
press
"ENTER"
