Operate Menu - Accusonic 8510+ series Reference Manual

System Parameter: Contact Closures
Selecting the Configure Contact Closures button will bring up the dialog box to configure the alarm relay
contact parameters. Each alarm relay contact that is connected to a user's system can be configured: Relay
function, assigned to a specific flowmeter section, threshold to switch, delay time to switch (in
measurement cycles), as well as the contact polarity (normally energized or de-energized).
System Parameter: 8510 More
Selecting the 8510 More displays the dialog box to allow configuration of the Device ID and TCP/IP
communication settings (IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway).
Section Parameters (Configure Menu)
The section parameters configure menu allows the user to make modifications to the currently loaded
configuration for specific measurement sections.
When this dialog is opened while connected to a flowmeter, two additional command buttons will appear to
the right of the Apply button that will allow parameters to be updated as they are changed. It is important
to note that when connected to a 7510 or 7510+ all sections are updated or read when one of these buttons
is selected while an 8510 or 8510+ will only update or read the current section highlighted in the section
selection strip at the top of the dialog.
The 7510 or 7510+ flowmeter will allow entry for up to 4 flow sections and 4 level input channels while
the 8510 or 8510+ flowmeter will allow entry for up to 5 flow sections and 8 level input channels.
Path Parameters
Selecting the Configure button in the Path Enable section of the Section Parameters dialog box will allow a
user to configure the parameters for each acoustic path defined as a part of this section. The asbuilt values
should be available for entry in this section. Each path can be configured: length, angle, weight, elevation,
max bad measures, max velocity change, max velocity, and transducer type (the transducer type will set the
signal delay and transducer frequency).
Level Input Parameters
Selecting the Configure button in the Level Enable section of the Section Parameters dialog box will allow
a user to configure the parameters for each analog input defined as a part of this section. The asbuilt value
should be available for entry in this section. Each available analog input can be configured: 4mA input,
20mA input, minimum mA value, resistor value (can be used to calibrate an input), and Level Filtering
(averaging the input signal).
Change Flowmeter Model (Configure Menu)
Accuflow version 6 supports both the 7510/7510+ series flowmeters as well as the 8510/8510+ series
flowmeters. This dialog can be launched from the Configure menu to change the flowmeter model without
closing Accuflow.
Clicking on the down-tab on the right side of the drop-down box will show the valid list of flowmeters
supported by the current version of Accuflow.
The user will be forced to choose a flowmeter type when any other menu selection is chosen.

Operate Menu

The operate menu provides the ability to connect to the flowmeter and send or receive parameters, to begin
measurements, or to review historical data.
