Parameter and Value Definition **
Selects Open Channel Flow measurement.
Sets measured material to liquid.
Sets maximum processing speed, or speed of response, to
medium.
Selects transducer (e.g. 102 = XPS 10) connected to MultiRanger
200.
Sets units for head measurement (e.g 1 = meters).
Sets the distance from zero point of measurement (many times
bottom of the weir or channel) to the sensor surface. Head is
measured with reference to this zero point
Sets the range of head measurement. Often equal to the maximum
head.
Permits the liquid level to go below the zero point to the amount set
here without indicating an LOE condition (pre-set is 20% of span).

The MultiRanger 200 supports the following primary measuring devices to calculate the flow rate based on either the Absolute method or Ratiometric method. The design standards of these devices are programmed in the MultiRanger 200, and it applies the correct standard formula to calculate the flow. - Page 3 Q = Q (H/H Value Table Flow rate calculated and displayed by MultiRanger 200.
