Summary of Contents for Signet 8150

  • Page 1 Ordering Information 1. Description The Signet 8150 Flow Totalizer is a battery-powered instrument capable of providing uninterrupted À ow and total volume information for 4 years and beyond. The unique features of the 8150 include: • Easy setup and display selection with 4-button keypad.
  • Page 2: Installation

    Route the output wires through the conduit port in the conduit base. Use a liquid-tight connector or conduit connector to prevent moisture from entering the assembly. Conduit Base Place totalizer or cover onto conduit base and twist to lock in Conduit place. Ports Sensor wires 8150 Flow Totalizer...
  • Page 3: Panel Cutout

    3.7 Panel Mount Installation Detail • The 8150-1P Panel-mount Totalizer is a standard ¼ DIN package. Use a 92 x 92 mm punch tool to make the panel cutout. • Minimum spacing of 25 mm (1 in) between panel units is recommended.
  • Page 4: Battery Installation And Replacement

    5. Battery Installation and Replacement Two 3.6 V Lithium thionyl chloride batteries, AA-size (7400-0011) are included with the Totalizer. NOTE: THE 8150 WILL NOT OPERATE WITH STANDARD 1.5 V ALKALINE BATTERIES. USE 3.6 V LITHIUM BATTERIES ONLY! • Observe polarity! Note that both batteries should face the same direction.
  • Page 5: Operation

    6. Operation The 8150-1 display shows the À ow rate in large numerals and a totalizer value in smaller numerals. Any one of three different totalizers can be selected as the standard display (See section 8 for detailed information on the totalizers).
  • Page 6: Changing The Security Code

    7. Changing the Security Code The security code prevents unauthorized tampering with calibration and operational settings in the 8150. The factory standard code is 0-0-0-0. Change the code to any 4-digit number by following these steps: Example: Change the security code from the factory standard 0-0-0-0 to custom setting 1-0-0-1...
  • Page 7 8. Totalizer Setup and Operation During normal operation the 8150 displays the À ow rate and one selected totalizer value. Any one of the three totalizers can be set as the standard display: The other two totalizers can be viewed by pressing the keypad. The display will automatically return to the standard selection after ¿...
  • Page 8 To prevent this loss, enter the security code, then enter any menu item and store the setting. Whenever the 8150 stores a setting, it also stores all current totalizer data: Enter the security code.
  • Page 9 If the À ow rate display is erratic, set the SPEED (section 14) to 120 seconds during the AutoCAL procedure. • The timebase on the reference meter must be the same as the 8150 Totalizer. Example: The Totalizer fl ow rate shows 60 GPM, while an external reference indicates a true fl ow rate of 70 GPM.

  • Page 11 Change the Flow K-Factor to 432 pulses per gallon. The result: The totalizer must count 10% fewer pulses from the À ow sensor to register one gallon, so both the totalizer and the À ow rate will increase by 10%. 8150 Flow Totalizer...

  • Page 15 15. Sensitivity The SENSITIVITY setting determines how the 8150 responds to sudden surges in the À ow rate. It "overrides" the SPEED function just long enough to allow an actual change in À ow rate to be displayed, then resumes the averaging. The result is a smooth À ow display and a quick response to large shifts in the À...
  • Page 16: Troubleshooting

    NOTE: If the Flow K-Factor is changed, be sure to make a corresponding change to the TOTAL K-Factor. 1. There is no À ow in the pipe. 8150 is not receiving a signal from 2. Flow sensor is not turning due to blockage or damage. the À ow sensor.
