INTERFACE DETECTOR INSTALLATION SUMMARY

System 1010BX is computerized instrumentation that requires you to perform hardware and
software installation procedures to obtain operation. As you will see in the following sections,
System 1010BX contains a hierarchical menu structure consisting of sub-menus that contain
individual menu locations we call menu cells. The Menu Chart (see paragraph 1.11.2) appears
comprehensive. Again, do not let the size of the Installation Menu intimidate you. System
1010BX is a universal instrument that serves many industries. Therefore, it provides a large
number of functions and features. Most menu locations already have default values installed
that never need to be edited unless you are interested in that specific function or feature.
Listed below are the minimum steps required to achieve operation with a local display.
• Collect the site data (pipe and liquid data, part numbers, etc.).
• Choose a mounting location for the Interface Detector and transducers.
• Mount the Interface Detector at the selected location.
• Connect power to the Interface Detector.
• Prepare pipe for transducer mounting.
• Access the Installation Menu and create a site.
• Enter pipe parameters and select a liquid, if required.
• Invoke transducer install procedure.
• Mount transducers on pipe and connect to Interface Detector.
• Complete transducer install menu operation.
The figure on the next page shows a simplified 1010BX Interface Detector hardware configu-
ration with transducers.

CHOOSING A PROGRAMMING INTERFACE

As mentioned previously, site setup is accomplished under the control of an Installation Menu
that allows you to enter information that is specific to each site. System 1010BX provides two
ways of accessing the Installation Menu. You can view the Installation Menu locally on the 16
x 2 character LCD panel display and a Magnetic Wand for navigation and data entry. Alter-
nately, you can access the Installation Menu using a personal computer connected to the in-
strument via its RS-232 compatible serial port.

1.10.1 OVERVIEW OF THE MAGNETIC WAND INTERFACE

A Magnetic Wand interface provides a simple data entry method. It is not necessary to open
the housing to effect data entry, thus avoiding the need for hot-work permits and the like for
user menu access. This occurs through the explosion-proof sight glass. Be sure to tighten the
enclosure cover properly for the best operation. Individual functions and parameters are se-
lected from a hierarchical menu structure. Menu control and navigation is accomplished by
placing the tip of a Magnetic Wand directly over a magnetic sensor. The LCD panel display
provides five sensors. Four of the sensors are used for directional navigation within the menu.
A symbol below each sensor shows the effective direction of the sensor. The fifth magnetic
sensor provides the ENTER function (bull's-eye).
