Volume measurement With its functional scope the KRAL electronic unit covers a wide range of functions. The electronic unit is Function description optimized for use together with KRAL Volumeters. KRAL Volumeters generate a specific number of pulses per flow volume unit - depending on the size and working point. This device-specific characteri- stic is called the K-factor (unit: Pulses/Liter) and is listed in the enclosed calibration report.
Electronic evaluation Electronic evaluation The electronic unit receives signals from the pick ups and calculates the measured values which are indicated in the display unit and which can be called up at the analog output or at the bus interface. Possibilities of the electronic unit: □...

Menu 2: Settings No filter is active for Averaging 0 and 1. In the 2.11 Function sensor case of Averaging 2–9 a continous average- value generation is carried out. A Vz1 filter is active at Averaging 10–10000. In the process the old measured values is weighted higher by the averaging value than the new measured value.
Menu 3: K-factors Volumeter A Menu 4: Density table 1 2.13 Function pulse input Menu 4 "Density Table 1" allows the mass con- version of the flow rate values. The density table can be requested from the supplier of the liquid. Prerequisite is that the process temperature is constant and is known and that the density at this temperature has been entered.
Information about faults Information about faults Troubleshooting Thanks to the high quality standard faults in the electronic unit are very rare. Implausible display values therefore usually indicate faults in the system. The following fault table lists the various fault messages as well as their cause and remedy.
