Note that each deadband setting is independent of the other. For example, if the Volume flow rate falls
below the deadband setting for the volume flow, the Volume flow rate will be reported as zero. However,
if the energy flow rate remains above the deadband setting for the energy rate, the system will continue
to report the measured energy rate (i.e., It will not be zero).
2.5.3 MEMORY/FAULT SET
Certain situations (e.g., an empty pipe or excessive aeration) will interrupt data production. Use [Memory/
Fault Set] to select the meter response to such an interruption. The Fault setting (default) will zero the
flow rate output and declare an alarm on a flow display screen, Datalogger report and an assigned relay
output.
For some applications, occasional temporary Fault conditions may be a normal part of the process and
would not require an alarm response. The system offers a Memory operating mode to support such an
application. Memory Mode suspends the system’s Fault response by preventing the flow outputs from
dropping to zero for the interval specified in the [Memory Delay] menu cell. During the Memory duration,
the meter will maintain the last valid flow reading measured before the onset of the fault condition. The
default Memory Delay is 60 seconds. You may select any duration from 3 to 604,800 seconds (one
week).
To select Memory mode:
To access the [Memory/Fault Set] option list press
Move the cursor down to [Memory] by pressing
To make selection press
This moves the highlight to Memory Delay (sec).
Memory Delay (sec)
Selecting [Memory] activates the suppressed [Memory Delay] menu cell. It allows you to specify the
number of seconds that the meter maintains its last valid flow reading. When the memory delay expires,
it triggers the fault alarm response described previously.
To specify the Memory delay:
