1.7 Entering Zero Cutoff and Setting Up Inputs
Enter the zero cutoff value and set up the temperature and pressure inputs via the
I/O
submenu. While programming
these parameters, refer to Figure 28 on page 77.
IMPORTANT:
If an option card in
Slot 1
fails to appear in this menu, it may be turned
Off
. See the
Global-I/O-Options
section on page 25 for setup instructions.
1.7.1 Zero Cutoff Value
Near a zero flow rate, the Model XGS868i’s readings may fluctuate due to small offsets caused by thermal drift or
similar factors. To force a zero display reading when there is minimal flow, enter a
zero cutoff value
as described below.
1.
In the
Keypad Program
, scroll to
PROG
and press
[Enter]
.
2.
In the
PROG
menu, scroll to
CH1
or
CH2
and press
[Enter]
.
3.
In the
Channel PROGRAM
menu, scroll to
I/O
and press
[Enter].
4.
Enter a value from 0 to 1 ft/sec (0 to 0.30 m/sec) for the
Zero Cutoff
and press
[Enter]
. The recommended setting is
0.0200 ft/sec (0.0009 m/sec).
1.7.2 Assume Saturation
This prompt permits you to use a single input for either temperature or pressure to measure mass flow. The
User
Program
contains a table that correlates pressure and temperature for saturated steam. If the meter can assume the
steam is always at or near saturation, then only a temperature or pressure input is needed. The meter will interpolate the
corresponding pressure or temperature.
1.
At the
Assume Saturation?
prompt, scroll to
No
or
Yes
and press [
Enter]
.
•
If you selected
Yes
, proceed to Step 2 below.
•
If you selected
No
, proceed to Step 3 on the next page.
1.7.3 Steam Input Type
2.
Scroll to the
Steam Input Type
that will be used to measure mass flow and press
[Enter]
.
•
If you selected
Temperature
, proceed to
Temperature Input
on the next page.
•
If you selected
Pressure
, proceed to
Base Temperature
on the next page.
IMPORTANT:
GE Measurement & Control recommends using a live input for either temperature or pressure when
assuming the saturation.
