1 Overview of functions Keys 0 to 9 have more than one function. The current function depends on the operating condition. In normal display mode, the text below the key applies and allows measured values or chapter headings and functions to be directly or indirectly accessed.
2.1 Levels and rights of access The ERZ 2000 system provides three access levels to change parameters or device settings. The lowest level is the user level which is protected by code. It is marked B, C or P in the documentation.
The <0> Mode key shown in the example above enables central access to the chapter headings. When you press the <0> key, the ERZ 2000 will jump to table E and display the first chapter Base values and the following chapters which can be browsed through using the Cursor Up or Down key. When you browse through the chapters, an arrow →...

Whenever the device shows a view with a chapter heading, you can access all chapters of the entire system by pressing the Cursor Right or Left key. When you have reached the desired chapter heading, press the Cursor Up or Down key to access the chapter or press Enter to activate the function.
2.3 Entering the user code The lowest access level is protected by the user code. The code is divided into two 4-character parts and has to be entered in two subsequent coordinates. In the operating instructions, the relevant data are marked Β (for user lock).
Follow the above sequence of operations. • Now prepare the ERZ 2000 for the update. Press <0> Mode and in the Access chapter set the Software update function to ON. The ERZ 2000 terminates the correction process and from now on it is only waiting for the software update to start.
• After you have opened the calibration lock, press Enter again (the display will turn darker and indicate input mode). The old activation key will disappear and the ERZ 2000 will be waiting for the new key to be entered.

2.7 How to parameterize the pressure sensor? The data of the pressure sensor used have to be communicated to the corrector as transmitter data. Apart from the parameters for measurement, the type, manufacturer, serial number, etc., have to be entered in the Absolute pressure chapter as well.
From VOStemp. Calculated from the velocity of sound transducer temperature. PT100 RMG Calculation according to RMG polynomial. Default Fixed value, no measurement. Use the cursor key to browse to the Operating mode function. Set the desired operating mode there after having opened the calibration lock.
2.9 Where are the gas meter parameters to be found? The data of the gas meter used have to be communicated to the corrector as transmitter data. Apart from the parameters for measurement, the type, manufacturer, serial number, etc., have to be entered in the Meter chapter as well.
Operating mode: As to the modes 1 to 9, the notation means: The first parameter applies to billing and the second parameter to comparison. If Vo stands at the beginning, for example, Vm increments are calculated from the telegram contents of the digital totalizer, i.e. the Vm totalizer is calculated from Vo information.
Page 17
Creeping quantity limit: The Vm and Vb totalizer readings are not increased as long as the flow rate at measurement conditions is below the creeping quantity limit. The creeping quantity cut-off function prevents uncontrolled counting of pulses e.g. in the case of swinging movements when a turbine meter is at standstill or of pulses at zero drift in the case of other gas meters.
Monitoring of synchronous run (coordinates JK...) There is a chapter Synchronous run monitoring to be found under the <0> Mode key. Here you can find the parameters for monitoring synchronous run, such as the maximum deviation, termination short and termination quantity and information displayed about the current state of the ongoing comparison. Monitoring of synchronous run deals with the software comparison between the possible inputs for volume formation.
Characteristic The current kv mode is shown. In this example, a polynomial • kv mode defined by RMG is calculated via the flow rate. The point before the kv mode indicates that the value can be edited Polynomial Q RMG (note the access level).
2.14 How does error curve linearization function for volume measurement? Error curve linearization: The error curve linearization of the gas meter can optionally be performed using two different methods. a) Error curve linearization with polynomial related to the flow rate Correction is made using a quartic polynomial which reproduces the error curve of the gas meter as a function of the flow rate.
Page 21
c) Error curve linearization using the interpolation point method This method uses 16 parameterizable interpolation points. The selected loads are to be entered on the X-axis (flow rate). For each interpolation point, the deviation from the zero line is to be entered. A linear interpolation is to be made between the individual points.
2.15 How to activate direction switching? Direction switching is integrated into the billing mode. As to the standard setting, billing mode 1 corresponds to direction 1, billing mode 2 to direction 2, etc. There are a total of four billing modes which can be controlled either via input contacts or limiting values.
2.16 How to select a method for calculating the K coefficient? Press <2> Analysis. The arrow (→) is already located on AGA 8 92DC, for example. Press Enter and use the Cursor Down key to access the relevant values and enter the data. →...
Use the cursor key to browse to the Operating mode function where you can set the desired operating mode after having opened the calibration lock. Depending on the input quantities, there may be further operating modes, e.g. for standard density: / From relative density / Single frequency input / RMG standard density transmitter, etc. C:\Temp\ERZ2000_Kurzhilfe_V1_3_EN.doc...
2.18 Changing units 2.18.1 How to change over totalizers to another unit? Press <7> Totalizer to access the overview. The standard setting of Vm and Vb totalizers is m³ with nine characters being displayed without a fraction. To select the unit, there are texts and conversion functions available for each totalizer.
2.19 Where to set the DSfG parameters? If the ERZ 2000 is to be operated as a user of a DSfG bus, you have to enter the relevant parameters. Press Mode and then four times the Cursor Right key below the Communications heading to reach the chapter relating to the DSfG issue.
The internal time basis can be changed via the keyboard or the DSfG interface but only within the scope of the relevant access rights. If there is a telephone connection via MODEM available, the ERZ 2000 can use PTB's time service and synchronize its clock (and that of all users of the bus) with its integrated remote data transmission feature.
2.21 Where to set base values for pressure and temperature? If the K coefficient is calculated in accordance with GERG 88S or AGA NX 19 with H group gas, the temperature at base conditions can only be changed step by step according to the ISO table of countries (0, 15, 20, 25 degrees C).
2.22 Special information about test functions Under the < 6> Test key, all chapters and functions for checking the device are combined. There are the following functions: On-the-fly calibration, Freeze, Computing cycle, Calibration Rhon/Hs, Functional test, Hardware test, Ultrasonic diagnosis, and Test cabinet (internal). 2.22.1 On-the-fly calibration If you have selected the On-the-fly calibration function, you can start this function by pressing Enter.
2.22.5 Hardware test Option for testing all inputs and outputs of the device. If the function is set to "Inactive", only the momentary state is displayed while browsing. If the function is set to "Active", the input or output displayed is affected while browsing. E.g. the alarm contacts are operated and the current outputs are set to fixed values: current output 1 to 10mA, 2 to 11 mA, 3 to 12mA, 4 to 13mA and the pulse outputs are operated: pulse output 1 with 1 pulse per sec., 2 with 2 pulses per sec., 3 with 3 pulses per sec., 4 with 4 pulses per sec.
2.24 Special information about outputs 2.24.1 Current outputs Press <4> I/O to reach the Current input 1 to 4 chapters. There all important values for parameterization and display are combined. By using the relevant features, all appropriate data, calculated values, etc. can be selected and thus mapped on the current output.
Vo totalizer Cycle pulses Test pulses (duration) Test pulses (groups) Test pulses: There are two options for outputting test pulses: 1. A specified number of pulses per second is permanently outputted (duration). 2. A specified number of pulses is outputted once with the set output frequency and is then stopped (group). 2.24.3 Contact outputs There are eight contact outputs available which can be used universally for outputs, messages, etc.
In input mode, the line to be edited will turn darker to indicate that input mode is active. To increase the service life of the display, the ERZ 2000 switches its display dark as soon as a settable period of time has elapsed after the last key was pressed.
2.25.5 Resetting the slave pointers The ERZ 2000 has two slave pointers each – one for the minimum value and one for the maximum value – for all measured values (pressure, temperature, flow rates, etc.). The slave pointers record the maximum values and can be reset in two different ways.
