1.8 Entering Setup Data

The signal limits, response times, mass flow and multiple K factors for the Model XGS868i are specified via the
submenu. The following four submenus are included in this section:
Signal - set the parameters related to the transducer signal (see below).
Default Setup - reset all parameters to default values (page 16).
V averaging - specify the response of the meter to step changes (page 16).
Advanced Features - enable mass flow and enter K factors
(page 18).
While following the programming instructions, refer to Figure 29 on page 78. Record all programmed data in
Appendix B, Data Records.

1.8.1 Setting Transducer Signal Parameters

Use this option to set the limits for the incoming signal and other parameters affecting the transducer signal. For
example, the programmed signal strength low limit may be used to determine the trigger point for an alarm.
CAUTION!
The Signal default settings are suitable for most applications. Consult the factory before
changing any of these parameters.
Only after consulting the factory, complete the following steps to program the signal parameters:
1. In the Keypad Program, scroll to PROG and press [Enter].
2. In the PROG menu, scroll to CH1 or CH2 and press [Enter].
3. In the Channel PROGRAM menu, scroll to Setup and press [Enter].
4. Scroll to SIGNL and press [Enter].
5. Use Table 4 on page 15 to choose the desired values. Use the arrow keys to enter a value (or scroll to a value for a
parameter with menu options) and press [Enter].
Procedure Options
After completing the above steps, the XGS868i returns to the Channel SET UP window. Do one of the following:
