  • Page 5: Introduction

    The instrument is fully programmable from the front panel; the user can program scaling factors, decimal point positions, filter constants and timebase. The Model 102D Rate Totaliser conforms to the EMC-Directive of the Council of European Communities 2014/30/EU, the LVD directive 2014/35/EU and the...

    2 Specification 2. SPECIFICATION General Display: LCD which is continuously powered. Resettable Total: 7 digits with 10mm (0.4") high digits. Resettable from front panel. Accumulated Total: Displayed when the ACCUM TOTAL button is pressed. Rate: 4½ digits with 8.5mm (0.33") high digits. K-factor: The pulses per unit of measure (eg.
  • Page 7 Wall Mounting: Universal mounting bracket supplied as standard. Pipe Mounting: A galvanised metal bracket is available which enables the Model 102D to be attached to a 2" vertical or horizontal pipe. Cutout: 141mm (5.6") wide x 87mm (3.4" high). MAN102D-V1.8...

    4 Operation 3. OPERATION The Model 102D Rate Totaliser accepts a frequency or pulse input from a wide range of flowmeters. The instrument is fully programmable with all operating parameters and calculation constants programmable from the front panel. The setup parameters are stored in a non-volatile memory and are retained for at least 10 years in the event of a power loss.
  • Page 9: Test Mode

    Operation 5 3.2 TEST MODE The 102D has a Test Mode which can be entered by simultaneously pressing all 3 front panel keys. The tests are as follows: Low Test N/A. High Test N/A. Display Test By pressing the PROGRAM key, all segments of the display will flash.
  • Page 10: Filtering

    6 Operation 3.3 FILTERING Frequency fluctuations caused by pulsating flow through a flowmeter can interfere with the precision of the rate. For this reason, the Model 102D has a digital filter which will average out these fluctuations and enable accurate readings.

  • Page 12: Calculation Of Rate And Total

    8 Operation 3.4 CALCULATION OF RATE AND TOTAL The flow rate, R, is calculated as follows: f x H where f is the input frequency in Hz (pulses/second). H is the timebase of rate and is 1 for seconds, 60 for minutes, 3600 for hours and 86,400 for days.
  • Page 13: Total Conversion

    Operation 9 3.5 TOTAL CONVERSION The Total Conversion Factor is programmed to enable the rate to be displayed in one engineering unit and the totals to be displayed in another. For example, the rate can be displayed in gallons/minute and the totals in barrels. The Total Conversion Factor is a division factor which is used to convert the totals to a different unit.
  • Page 14: Frequency Cutoff

    Note that a low cutoff frequency will result in a correspondingly low response of flow rate update. For example, if the cutoff is set to 0.01Hz the 102D will continue to display the flow rate for 100 seconds even if the signal stops. This is because a cutoff frequency of 0.01Hz means that the time interval between...

    Programming 11 4. PROGRAMMING The Model 102D is fully programmable with all parameters being stored in non- volatile memory. The Program Mode can be entered in one of two ways: 1. By removing the lower cover strip (ie. the dark grey strip along the bottom of the enclosure) and replacing it the wrong side up.
  • Page 16: Program Steps

    12 Programming 4.1 PROGRAM STEPS Step Comment CAL 0 CAL 1 Scaling Factor - whole numbers. CAL 2 Scaling Factor - digits after the decimal point. The scaling factor is the pulses per unit of measure (eg. pulses/litre, pulses/gallon, etc). The scaling factor can be programmed in the range of 0.000001 - 999,999.
  • Page 17 Programming 13 Step Comment CAL 5 Timebase for Rate. The rate can be displayed in units per second, minute, hour or day. 0 = second 1 = minute 2 = hour 3 = day CAL 6 Filter. The filter constant for filtering the input signal. 1 No filtering.
  • Page 18 14 Programming Step Comment CAL 9 Total Conversion Factor - digits after the decimal point. The total conversion factor enables the rate to be displayed in one engineering unit and the totals to be displayed in another engineering unit. The total conversion factor can be programmed in the range of 0.000001 - 999,999.

    16 Example 5. EXAMPLE A flowmeter produces 20.538 pulses per litre and has a maximum output frequency on 200Hz. It is required to display the flow rate in litres/min with 1 decimal point and the total in litres with no decimals. Calibration mode is entered by removing the lower cover strip (ie.

    Installation 23 8. INSTALLATION 8.1 WALL MOUNTING A wall mounting bracket is supplied with each instrument. Round head screws should be used to attach the bracket to the wall (countersunk screws should not be used). The bracket is mounted first with the tray section at the bottom. The instrument is then mounted on the bracket with two screws as shown below.

    24 Installaton 8.2 REMOVING THE FRONT PANEL The front panel should be removed as follows: 1. Remove the top and bottom cover strips (ie. the dark plastic strip) by levering a screwdriver under one end. 2. Undo the screws retaining the front. Do not remove the screws, they are retained by O-rings.

    Installation 25 8.3 THE MAIN ELECTRONICS The front section of the housing contains the microprocessor and display. It is possible to adjust the display contrast via a small potentiometer on the board. The Display Contrast is shown below and this can be adjusted for optimum contrast.
  • Page 30: Wiring

    26 Installation 8.4 WIRING When connecting the 102D it is good practice to use shielded cable. The shield should be connected to earth at one end of the cable. The other end of the shield should not be connected. This wiring practice is mandatory in order to comply with the requirements for Electromagnetic Compatibility as per EMC-Directive 2014/30/EU of the Council of the European Community.
