Global Water 800-876-1172 • globalw.com Congratulations on your purchase of a Global Water FC220 Flow Monitor or PC320 Process Controller with Internal Data Logger Option. This instrument has been quality tested and approved for providing accurate and reliable measurements. We are confident that you will find the product to be a valuable asset for your application.
The logger option functions the same as all other Global Water loggers. A sample interval is programmed into the logger that will record the sensor data at regular programmable intervals.
4mA Set Point to the desired value. If appropriate, use the same process to set the units as described in the FC220 or PC320 manual. Press SAVE to store these settings and MENU to move forward. The 20mA Set Point is the flow rate or sensor value that corresponds to a 20mA output current.
800-876-1172 • globalw.com III. Calibrating the Data Logger Option Connect the computer to the USB port on the FC220 or PC320 data logger. Launch the Global Logger II software and connect to the logger, you must use Global Logger II version 2.1.8 or higher. Click the Setup button to enter the calibration screens.

Calibration process has already been completed as described in the previous section. On the FC220 or PC320, enter the setup menus and scroll down to the output calibration menu. Note that within 1 minute of the last button press, the FC220 and PC320 will automatically exit the setup menus.
These records will not interrupt the normal logging interval of the logger. In the record shown above, the FC220 Flow Monitor is programmed to output a pulse on relay 1 for every 20,000 cubic feet of water. At an average flow rate of 60.6 cubic feet per second, relay 1 will pulse about every 5-1/2 minutes as...
Global Water 800-876-1172 • globalw.com Determining Relay States The changing states of the relays are recorded as an analog voltage, generally on channel 2. The voltage represents the state the relay was changed to at that time; according to the equation: Voltage in Volts = (50 + 50*S1 + 150*S2 + 450*S3 + 1350*S4) / 1000 Where S1 is the state of Relay1, S2 for Relay 2 ...
