APPENDIX E - TOTALIZER/COUNTER FUNCTIONS
To use the TOTALIZER FUNCTION go to MENU > ADVANCED SETUP > CH A or B
SETUP > INPUT TYPE and set the input channel up as described in
Section 4.1 . From the
MENU > ADVANCED SETUP > CH A or B SETUP > FILTER pane select Totalizer. From
this pane use the UP and Down Arrow keys to select your range and reset options.
Calculate the highest number your total will be without going over range and use the lowest
possible full scale range for best resolution. This will provide the best accuracy in your
results. The maximum number of counts is 8000 in any x1 range, 800,000 in a xk range
and 8 million in a xm range.
It is also helpful to reset the Totalizers as often as possible as any errors are accumulated
over time. There is less accumulated error in a month than there would be in a year. There
will be less error in a week than in a month, and so on. When you reset the Totalizers the
errors are reset as well.
FOR EXAMPLE: To totalize a rate, such as a 4-20 mA input, set the channel as usual to
the engineering units, then go to the filter section and choose your rate from the list of
selections from /secx1k to /dayx100, as described above.
To use the COUNTER FUNCTION go to MENU > ADVANCED SETUP > CH A or B
SETUP > INPUT TYPE > COUNTER. From this pane select your reset and gating options
as well as your full-scale range.
The counter function can be used to totalize pulses accurately from flow meters. This can
provide more accurate totals than using the totalizer function on a sensor that provides a
rate.
