    Setup and Programming Select Menu (SElect) The Select menu is used to select the input signal conditioner applied to the input (linear, square root, programmable exponent, or round horizontal tank), low-flow cutoff, and analog output programming. The multi-point linearization is part of the linear function selection.

  • Page 99: Input Signal Conditioning (Functn)

    Setup and Programming Input Signal Conditioning (Functn) The Function menu is used to select the input signal conditioner applied to the input: linear, square root, programmable exponent, or round horizontal tank volume calculation. The multi- point linearization is part of the linear function selection. Meters are set up at the factory for linear function with 2-point linearization.
  • Page 100 Setup and Programming Multi-Point Linearization (Linear) Meters are set up at the factory for linear function with 2-point linearization. Up to 32 linearization points can be selected for PV1 under the linear function. The multi-point linearization can be used to linearize the display for non-linear signals such as those from level transmitters used to measure volume in odd-shaped tanks or to convert level to flow using weirs and flumes with complex exponent.
  • Page 101 Setup and Programming Round Horizontal Tank Linearization (rHt) This function automatically calculates the volume in a round horizontal tank with flat ends. Set the display for the desired decimal point and engineering units before entering the round horizontal tank function. Select units, inches or cm for the tank dimensions. Enter the diameter and the length in inches and the results are calculated automatically in US gallons.

  • Page 102: Low-Flow Cutoff (Cutoff)

    Setup and Programming Changing the Volume from Gallons to Liters In the above graphic, entering the 48" for the diameter and 120" for the length of the round horizontal tank, the meter automatically calculates that the volume of the tank is 940.02 gallons.

  • Page 103: Analog Output Programming (Aoutpr)

    Setup and Programming Analog Output Programming (AoutPr) The Analog Output Programming menu is used to program the behavior of the 4-20 mA output. The following parameters and functions are programmed in this menu: Source: Source for generating the 4-20 mA output (e.g. PV) Overrange: Analog output value with display in overrange condition Underrange: Analog output value with display in underrange condition Break: Analog output value when loop break is detected...
  • Page 104 Setup and Programming Analog Output Calibration To perform the analog output calibration, it is recommended to use a milliamp meter with a resolution of at least 0.1 µA to measure the output current. The values saved internally during this procedure are used for scaling the 4-20 mA output in the Setup menu. Analog Output Calibration Procedure Wire the IDE30 4-20 mA output to a current loop that includes a power supply (internal or external 12 to 24 VDC), and the mA input on the digital meter.

There are two tare functions; Capture Tare and Reset Tare. When the capture tare function is used, the display reading is offset by the displayed amount to make the displayed value zero.

  • Page 108: Internal Source Calibration (Ical)

    Setup and Programming Internal Source Calibration (ICAL) The meter is factory calibrated prior to shipment for milliamps and volts with calibration equipment that is certified to NIST standards. The use of calibrated signal sources is necessary to calibrate the internal source of the meter.
  • Page 109 Setup and Programming The Internal calibration menu is part of the Advanced Features menu. Press and hold the Menu button for three seconds to access the advanced features of the meter. Press the Up arrow button to scroll to the Internal calibration menu (ICAL) and press Enter.

  • Page 111 Setup and Programming Error Message (Error) An error message indicates that the calibration or scaling process was not successful. After the error message is displayed, the meter reverts to the input prior to the failure during calibration or scaling and to input 1 during internal calibration, allowing the appropriate input signal to be applied or programmed.

  • Page 112: Meter Operation

    Setup and Programming Meter Operation The meter is capable of accepting current (0-20 mA, 4-20 mA) and voltage signals (0-5 V, 1-5 V, 0-10 V, 10 V) and displaying these signals in engineering units from -99999 to 999999 (e.g. a 4-20 mA signal could be displayed as -50.000 to 50.000). The dual-line display can be customized for the user’s specific application.
