Page 16: Frequency Calculation Modes
15. Frequency Calculation Modes The instrument calculates the frequency applying the ‘slow’ mode or the ‘fast’ mode. Fast mode ‘Fast’ mode activates when the ‘input high signal’ parameter (see section 16.5) is higher or equal than 500 Hz. The frequency calculated is the number of impulses received during a time window, divided by the time window value in seconds. -
Page 17: Configuration Menu
16. Configuration Menu 16.1. Function Codes and Sensor The fastest way to configure the instrument, is to select a predefined configuration code (see Table 2) and a predefined sensor (see Table 3). At the ‘Configuration code’ (codE) parameter use keys ‘UP’ () and ‘LE’ () to move up and down through the list of codes. -
Page 18: Sensor Configuration
16.2. Sensor Configuration Sensor configuration is a critical part of the configuration. If the sensor is correctly configured, the instrument will be able to read impulses. If the sensor is not correctly configured, the instrument will not be able to read any impulse signal and it will be considered a 0 Hz signal. -
Page 19: Input Range
At the ‘Gate’ (GAtE) parameter configure the value to ‘0.25’, ‘0.50’, ‘1.0’, ‘2.0’ or ‘4.0’ seconds. Applies only in ‘fast’ mode (see section 15). At the ‘Time to 0’ (tt0) parameter configure a value between ‘1.0’ and ‘10.0’ seconds. Applies only in ‘slow mode’... -
Page 20: Output Range
16.4. Output Range At the ‘Output range’ (out) menu entry, select the output signal range to 4/20 mA (value ‘420’) or to 0/10 V DC (value ‘010’). The output signal range selected can be later customized to operate in a reduced range of signal (see section 16.5). -
Page 21: Display Information
16.6. Display Information At the ‘Display information’ (dISP) menu select one parameter to read on display when the instrument is in ‘normal mode’ of operation. If you need access to more than one information, see the ‘messages’ function (see section 16.8) associated to front key ‘LE’ (). -
Page 22: Key 'Le' ('Messages' Function)
16.8. Key ‘LE’ (‘Messages’ function) The key ‘LE’ () at the front of the instrument gives access to a configurable set of information messages. At the ‘Key LE (messages function)’ (K.LE) menu, select the informations to be displayed when the front key ‘LE’ () is pressed (see section 12.5). -
Page 23: Tools' Menu
16.9. ‘Tools’ Menu The ‘Tools’ (tool) menu groups several functions. • at the ‘Eco mode’ (Eco) parameter, define the time to wait before the display is powered off (while in ‘normal mode’ of operation). Default value is 60 seconds. Configure ‘0’ to disable the function and maintain the display always on. - Page 24 value, are treated as a ‘0’. This parameter applies to all measuring ranges. • the ‘Version’ (VEr) parameter informs about the firmware version running in the instrument. • at the ‘Password’ (PASS) parameter define a 4 digit code to block access to the ‘configuration menu’. Activate the password to prevent access to the instrument configuration by non authorized personnel.
