5.1 Functional principle 5.1.1 Usage The processing unit is intended for usage with a KRAL flowmeter. Flowmeters generate a specific number of pulses per flow volume unit – depending on the size and working point. This device-specific characteristic is called the K-factor (unit: pulses/litre) and is spe- cified on the calibration certificate.

9 Operation 9.1 Carrying out the basic settings 9 Operation 9.1 Carrying out the basic settings 9.1.1 Setting the Modbus address Modbus addressing is effected by means of two address selector switches on the circuit board of the processing unit. X10 X1 Fig. 9: Modbus addressing Remove the cover of the processing unit.
9 Operation 9.1 Carrying out the basic settings Having a density table selected In the case of operation with two different pumped liquids, for example diesel and heavy fuel oil, the se- lection of the associated density table can be carried out automatically. To this purpose the current temperature of the pumped liquid is compared with the value of the parameter "Temperature_Switch".
9 Operation 9.1 Carrying out the basic settings 9.1.5 Specifying the reference temperature for temperature compensation The parameter "X_Temperature" is used for correction calculation of the density. This correction is called temperature compensation. The current density of the pumped liquid is calculated by means of the measured temperature of the flowing pumped liquid and of the stored density table.
9 Operation 9.2 Reading the measured values and status information 9.1.9 Specifying the minimum flow rate The minimum flow rate in [l/h] is specified by using the parameter "Flow_Zero_Threshold". This ensures that the flow rate changes to zero after a defined period (1/f ), irrespective of its aver- aging.
10 Maintenance 10.1 Required maintenance Cleaning an error message Enter the error message in the parameter "Alarm_Clear". Example: Error message 3 is to be cleared. Enter 0x00000004 for Error message 3 in the parameter "Alarm_Clear". ð If the cause of the error message is not eliminated, the corresponding value is retained in the para- meter "Alarm_Read".
