  • Page 10: Calibration

    Models PD696 – PD698 Instruction Manual CALIBRATION Calibration is performed using the front panel button. It does not require any tools or disassembly of the meter. A calibrated signal source is required. The calibration input signals must be within the range of the meter and there must be an absolute difference between Input 1 and Input 2 greater than 1.6 mA.
  • Page 11: Low-Flow Cutoff (Cutoff)

    Instruction Manual LOW-FLOW CUTOFF (CutoFF) The Low-Flow Cutoff allows the PD696 Series to be programmed so that the often unsteady output from a differential pressure transmitter at low flow rates always displays a zero on the rate display. Factory default is 000000 (disabled).

All digits flash for 3 seconds. If this is the desired filter value push the button before the entire display stops flashing.
  • Page 13: Totalizer Programming

    Models PD696 – PD698 Instruction Manual TOTALIZER PROGRAMMING TIME BASE (t bASE) The meter must be programmed with the time base. The Time Base is the time unit in which the rate is displayed. For example, if the rate display is set up for gallons per hour then the time base must be set to hours.
  • Page 14: Totalizer Decimal Point (Tot Dp)

    Models PD696 – PD698 Instruction Manual TOTALIZER DECIMAL POINT (tot dP) The decimal point for the totalization display is field selectable and can be placed at any position. To set Totalizer Decimal Point Push the front panel button, when tot dP appears push the button again.
  • Page 15: Isolated Pulse Output (Pulse)

    ISOLATED PULSE OUTPUT (PuLSE) The isolated pulse output signal can be programmed to produce 1 pulse output per any accumulated total between 1 and 999. For example, the PD696-PD698 can be programmed to produce one pulse for every 500 gallons totalized.
