    Page 6 OPERATIONAL 2.1. GENERAL  The ER may only be operated by personnel who are authorized and trained by the operator of the facility. All instructions in this manual are to be observed.  Take careful notice of the " Safety rules, instructions and precautionary measures " in the front of this manual.
  • Page 7: Operator Information And Functions

    Page 7 2.3. OPERATOR INFORMATION AND FUNCTIONS In general, the ER will always function at Operator level. The information displayed is dependent upon the SETUP-settings The signal from the connected sensor is processed by the ER in the background, whichever screen refresh rate setting is chosen. After pressing a key, the display will be updated very quickly during a 30 second period, after which it will slow-down again.
  • Page 8: Configuration

    Page 8 CONFIGURATION 3.1. INTRODUCTION This and the following chapters are exclusively meant for electricians and non-operators. In these, an extensive description of all software settings and hardware connections are provided.  Mounting, electrical installation, start-up and maintenance of the instrument may only be carried out by trained personnel authorized by the operator of the facility.
  • Page 9 Page 9 Matrix structure SETUP-level: SCROLLING THROUGH SETUP-LEVEL Selection of function-group and function: SETUP is divided into several function groups and functions. Each function has a unique number, which is displayed below the word "SETUP" at the bottom of the display. The number is a combination of two figures. The first figure indicates the function-group and the second figure the sub-function.

The following units can be selected: L - m3 - kg - lb. - GAL - USGAL - bbl - _ (no unit). Alteration of the measurement unit will have consequences for operator and SETUP-level values.
  • Page 13: Flowrate

    Page 13 2 - FLOWRATE The settings for total and flowrate are entirely separate. In this way, different units of measurement can be used for each e.g. cubic meters for total and liters for flowrate. The display update time for flowrate is one second or more. SETUP - 21 determines the measurement unit for flowrate.
  • Page 14: Display

    Page 14 3 - DISPLAY The large 17mm digits can be set to display total or flowrate. FUNCTION When "total" is selected, both total and flowrate are displayed simultaneously. When "flowrate" is selected, only flowrate will be displayed with it’s measuring unit while total will be displayed after pressing SELECT.

  • Page 19: Installing The Hardware

    Page 19 4.4. INSTALLING THE HARDWARE 4.4.1. INTRODUCTION  Electro static discharge does inflict irreparable damage to electronics! Before installing or opening the unit, the installer has to discharge himself by touching a well-grounded object.  This unit must be installed in accordance with the EMC guidelines (Electro Magnetic Compatibility).
  • Page 20 Page 20 SENSOR SUPPLY Terminal 3: sensor supply 1.2V, 3.2V Terminal 3 provides a limited supply voltage of 3.2 V DC (coil signals 1.2V) for the signal output of the flowmeter. Note: This voltage MAY NOT be used to power the flowmeters electronics, converters etc, as it will not provide adequate sustained power ! All energy used by the flowmeters pick-up will directly influence the battery life-time.
  • Page 21 Page 21 Reed-switch input The ER is suitable for use with flowmeters which have a Reed-switch. To avoid pulse bounce from the Reed-switch, it is advised to select REED LP - low-pass filter (read par. 3.2.3.) Reed - switch signal input INTERNAL EXTERNAL + 3.2V DC...
