Operating Instructions

Description

Table of Contents

The 0252 Configuration Tool is a USB to Digital (S

L) convertor and Microsoft

Windows

compatible software program used for interfacing with Signet 9900

Transmitters and blind sensors via a computer.

The 0252 tool and software allows:

•

Set application parameters (Engineering units, 4 to 20 mA span, etc.)

•

Save the setting configuration data to a computer file.

•

Upload a previously stored configuration data file into the Signet product.

•

Monitor a sensor's performance and log the data to a file.

•

Reset the product settings to factory default condition.

Certain parameters (such as calibration) cannot be changed because access

to an external sensor is required.

General Software Operation

Read

Loads the data from the connected device (sensor or transmitter) and updates the software’s display.

NOTE

: This will overwrite any changes made in the 0252 software since the last

Write

Applies the data entered in the 0252 software to the connected device. Once you have entered the desired

setting changes in the software screens, press

Write

to load your new settings onto the connected device.

Save

Stores the entire 0252 settings confi guration, as currently displayed in the application, to a specifi ed location

on your computer. (You will be asked to select a fi le location and provide a fi le name)

Load

Opens a previously saved settings confi guration fi le. See

Save

function above.

NOTE:

The fi le must be a 0252 settings confi guration fi le.

The software will verify whether the user-selected fi le is the correct type.

Default

Resets all data on all application screens to a factory default condition. A confi rmation dialog box will be

presented with a warning explaining all un-saved confi guration information will be erased.

After resetting the software to a factory default condition, click

Write

to reset the connected device to a

factory default condition.

NOTE:

Performing the above reset to factory default condition will not change the input type on the

9900 Transmitter.

2551 & 2552 Operation

Notes:

Averaging

Set the time the Magmeter will use as the averaging period.
Example: With averaging at 14 seconds, each display is an average of the previous

14 seconds input. Use higher averaging times to smooth the display and current output

where the flow in the pipe is erratic.

Sensitivity

Set the percentage of change in the flow rate required to allow the Magmeter to override

AVERAGING and jump to a new flow rate immediately (2551 maximum range is 10 m/s).
See Magmeter manual for an explanation of Averaging and Sensitivity:

www.gfsignet.com

Noise Rejection

Select 50 Hz or 60 Hz according to local AC power specifications.

Low Flow Cut Off

Set the flow rate where all Magmeter outputs will be forced to zero.
When the flow rate drops below this value, the frequency output will be 0 Hz and the

current output will be 4 mA.

tab to open the datalog setup window.

Enter the Logging Interval. This value represents the time between log records.

The minimum interval is 1 second, and the maximum interval is 86400 seconds (24 hours).

Example: If the Log Interval is set to 60 seconds, the 0252 will record the temperature once every minute.

4. The 0252 saves data files in *.csv format. The maximum number of records allowed for this type of file is

65535 records.

If the logging interval is 60 seconds = 1092 hours of continuous recorded data.
