• External o Magnetic Switches – There are three magnetically activated reed switches located around the edge of the IT400 (indicated on the front panel with yellow text). These switches allow external activation of the following functions: – The following actions are taken when the grand reed switch is activated: Grand The total display will indicate the value of the grand totalizer. - Page 13 (the letter by itself) to the serial port. No carriage return is necessary. The IT400 will reply with the requested data and a CR+LF. The BAUD rate is fixed at 9600 baud 8N1. Currently, the datalogger data can only be captured via the RS-232 port. The functions available on this interface are: R –...

(computer or printer) is used to capture the data from the IT400. Refer to the menu section of the manual to see the data that can be captured and what triggers are available. Each line of data is terminated by a CR+LF combination (0x0D and 0x0A). -
Page 15: Backlight
Backlight activation may increment one additional input pulse and will cause 4-20mA errors. Power The IT400 may be powered externally by any 5-48VDC source, 4-20mA loop, internally by battery, or by a combination of these. Power consumption is affected by programmed options, input signal frequency, and the programmed power mode. -

Page 17: Menu System
Sponsler, Inc. Menu System The IT400’s menu system is designed to allow a simple means of entering all of the data required for the system to perform its calculations. This section steps through the menu system and provides a description of each item. To enter the menu system, simply press Menu. -
Page 18: Menu Descriptions
The menu is composed of a list of editable items which control the operation of the IT400. This is a listing of all of the menu items. The IT400 reverts to the Run Mode if no user input is detected within 30 seconds while viewing any of the following top level menu items. - Page 19 Liquid Controls IT400 Remote Totalizer & Rate Indicator Page: 16 DOC#: MN-IT400-R2c.doc Sponsler, Inc. Frequency Input Permits setting of the frequency of a given run in the linearizer. The number listed on the display indicates which point in the table is being edited. Frequencies must be in ascending order (point 1 is the lowest frequency).

If no decimal is shown, the decimal is assumed one place to the right of the least significant digit. There is one special setting named + .
- Page 21 Light Note: The backlight is the highest current drawing component of the IT400. Use it sparingly; excessive use will quickly reduce the battery life (when running on the internal battery). Power Mode Sets the IT400’s internal power savings functions and the refresh rate.
