SECTION 22-6


2.1.5.1 For installations 1. and 2. (nocathodic protection system), SolarFlow Plus may beinstalled on or off the meter run. The SolarFlow Plus grounding procedure for installations withno cathodic protection system is as follows:

a. Connect the SolarFlow Plus enclosure to earth ground.

b. Earth ground must have 25 ohms or less impedance measured with a GroundSystem Tester. The ground system may consist of a driven rod, grid, or thepipeline itself.

c. Use #10 AWG or larger conductor - stranded preferred, as short as possiblebetween the enclosure and the ground system.

d. Resistance between the case of the external transmitters and the ground lug onSolarFlow Plus must be one ohm or less. This can be obtained via separateconductor or via conduit.

External Communications grounding procedure for this condition is as follows:

a. Connect the external communication equipment enclosure tothe same ground electrode as the SolarFlow Plus perISA 12.6, Section 4.5.4. Refer to Figure 2-6.

SECTION 2 2-13


2.1.5.4 Optional Installation Configuration

In some installations it may be desirable to insulate the SolarFlow Plus and its transmitters fromthe meter run even if the pipeline is not cathodically protected. One example of this would bewhere the pipe is wrapped with insulating material for corrosion protection rather than usingcathodic protection. In this case the pipe is effectively insulated from earth ground and can bea source of transients which may result in operational problems.

In cases such as this, the appropriate installation would be to install the SolarFlow Plus as if thepipeline were cathodically protected. In other words, electrically insulate the SolarFlow Plus andits transmitters from the pipeline by using insulating flanges and fittings as if the line(s) werecathodically protected.

2.2 SOLARFLOW PLUS SYSTEM INSTALLATION

Installation of the SolarFlow Plus unit and associated transmitters must conform to therequirements of the Instrument Society of America (ISA) Recommended PracticeANSI/ISA-RP12.6-1987, Installationof Intrinsically Safe Systemsfor Hazardous(Classified)Locations. Interconnecting cable between the SolarFlow Plus unit should be routed in accordancewith ANSI/ISA-RP12.6 standards as well as all applicable local codes and regulations. Ingeneral, all installation procedures should be in accordance with normal practices of goodworkmanship.

SolarFlow Plus requires 1-to-5VDC analog inputs. Any transmitters or inputs to theSolarFlow Plus that are not 1 to 5VDC must be converted to this level. In addition powerto operate these external analog inputs must be supplied from an external source.

The installation instructions specifically detail the SolarFlow Plus being installed with a batteryre-charged from a Solar Panel. For those units being installed where A-C power is available,connect the A-C Power supply (optional) to the battery at the same input connectors. Refer tothe drawings in Appendix D.

2.2.3 INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

The SolarFlow Plus unit is installed in accordance with the following procedure. Installation ofthe unit takes an experienced technician about four (4) hours. A dual solar-panel array with ahigher capacity battery is available for use in cold-weather areas. If the dual solar-panel arrayis to be installed, refer to the instructions in paragraph 2.2.4. Due to the weight of the battery,it would be more convenient for two persons to install this system.

Prior to going to the site for installing the SolarFlow Plus system, check the battery voltage. AFluke Model 77 (or equivalent) volt-ohm meter (VOM) is recommended. The voltage may bechecked by placing the VOM leads on the green plug coming from the battery box.

The system battery is shipped fully charged from the factory but during the time beforeinstallation, the battery loses part of its charge. If the open-circuit battery voltage is below 12.25volts, charge the battery for 24 hours at a slow-charge rate of 2 Amps before installing thesystem. Refer to paragraph 7.3 for battery charging procedures.

Step Installation Procedure

1 Install a 2-inch pipe support of sufficient length to prevent injuries caused by someoneaccidentally running into the unit after the solar array is installed. Anchor the supportfirmly enough to withstand prevailing winds.

2 Mount the SolarFlow Plus unit on the support installed in Step 1. Refer to the drawingDE-11333 provided in Appendix D. The bracket fitted to the rear of the Model 2470allows for positioning the unit on the two-inch pipe stand. The top portion of the brackethas a cross piece that rests on top of the pipe stand.

SECTION 22-16



3 Connect a suitable ground lead to the ground lug at the base of the SolarFlow Plus unit.The ground lead should be a minimum of #10 American Wire Gauge (AWG) cable routedto a ground rod 6 to 8 feet in length (depending on the soil conductivity at the site). Insome areas, the soil may require treating to provide adequate conductivity. Groundingof the unit is of utmost importance to protect the unit from transient currents. Forcathodically protected systems the meter run must be electrically isolated from thecathodic protection system. Refer to paragraph 2.1.5 for specific grounding instructionsand to paragraph 2.2.2 for tester sources.

A SolarFlow Plus computer has two Form-A relays, relay K1 and relay K2. These relays maybe addressed by either of two control output channels. The positions of the S4 (SW4) switchesroute the control output channels to the appropriate electromechanical form-A (normally open)relay output. Switch sets S4 and SW4 perform identical functions.

Switch S4-1 (SW4-1) routes output Channel 5 to relay K1 and switch S4-2 (SW4-2) routesChannel 7 to relay K1. Note that both channels cannot be routed to K1 at the same time.

Switch S4-3 (SW4-3) routes output Channel 6 to relay K2 and switch S4-4 (SW4-4) routesChannel 8 to relay K2. Note that both channels cannot be routed to K2 at the same time.

The following table shows S4 (SW4) switch settings for routing output Channel 5 or 7 to relayK1 and Channel 6 or 8 to relay K2.

SECTION 4 4-9


Only Channels 5 and 6 are defined for specific outputs in most SolarFlow Plus applications.Typically both these channels carry corrected station volume outputs, designated VP1 for Channel5 and VP2 for Channel 6. SolarFlow Plus allows the user to change the volume per pulse/contactwith the HHDT or using the HCS Terminal mode of operation. Typical defaults are 60.0thousands of cubic feet (MCF) per pulse/contact. These signals can be routed to an externalcounter or RTU and can also be used to pace a sampler. When wired in accordance withNational Electrical Code (NEC) and Underwriters’ Laboratories (UL) requirements, SolarFlowPlus can drive external devices of this type. The Form-A relay contact is rated at 30volt-amperes (VA) and may require an interposing relay. If the installation environment isdefined as Class I, Division 1, the installation MUST have an approved barrier between theSolarFlow Plus unit and the remote device.

4.4.5 SLIDE SWITCH SET S5 (SW5)

This switch set is for factory/testing use only and should be OFF for normal operation.

SECTION 44-10


4.5 VOICE COMMUNICATION OPTION

The voice communication option in the Model 2470 Solarflow Plus allows communication witha touch-tone telephone. This option is available in the standard application software and someof the special applications. It requires that the optional voice chip be installed on the SolarFlowPlus terminal board and the use of the optional DAA. This allows a user to to obtain verbalreports by phone (for instance, Channel Zero Report) or interrogate a particular channel to obtaina specific parameter. The voice option may also be used to acknowledge alarms, enable ordisable control outputs, or modify alarm limits. Operating similarly to the Host CommunicationsSoftware in the dumb terminal mode, the voice option allows communication with a SolarFlowPlus from any location with a touch-tone telephone.

Three sub-levels available in the voice access mode are:

REPORT - Which allows you to interrogate a specific parameter by channel number. TheSolarFlow Plus will respond with the requested parameter in the speech mode.

ALARM - Which allows you to acknowledge, enable, disable, or modify the limits associatedwith a alarm definition that is resident within SolarFlow Plus. The SolarFlow Pluswill respond with the requested parameter in the speech mode.

SET - Which allows you to define or set specific parameters within SolarFlow Plus suchas the atmospheric pressure, base temperature, meter factor etc. The channelassignment list for the application is used to identify the channel number for thedesired parameter. As with the REPORT and ALARM modes, SolarFlow Plus willrespond with the requested parameter in the speech mode.

4.5.1 SECURITY CODES

As with other SolarFlow Plus communications, a security code is required for conmunicationaccess. Security codes ending in a zero or a one will have access to the three sub-menus:REPORT, ALARM, and SET. Security codes ending with a two will have access to theREPORT and ALARM sub-menus only.

SECTION 4 4-11


4.5.2 VOICE COMMUNICATION OPERATION

All data entry is made using the numerals "0" through "9", the asterisk "*" used as a period ".",and the pound symbol "#" used as the enter or return key. To exit the voice access mode, type99 followed by the "#" key while in the REPORT sub-level. This will cause the SolarFlow Plusto disconnect. To connect with a SolarFlow Plus, proceed as follows:

a. Using a standard touch-tone telephone, dial the SolarFlow Plus location. SolarFlowPlus will respond by emitting a steady tone. Press the "#" key on the phone andSolarFlow Plus will respond in the speech mode with "SolarFlow Plus". At this pointpress the "#" key again and SolarFlow Plus will respond with its location ID.

b. You must then enter a valid security code followed by the "#" key. SolarFlow Pluswill verify that the security code is valid and will respond with "REPORT" if validor will hang up if the security code was invalid.

c. After a valid security code is entered and accepted, request data for a parameter byentering the appropriate channel number for the parameter on the keypad of thephone followed by the "#" key. (If you wish to hear all of the Channel Zero Report,press "0#").

d. After hearing the appropriate reports, you may enter "99" and "#" to exit. It is alsopossible to scroll forward and/or backward through the channels while in the Reportmode. The next channel report is accessed by "#", while "*#" reverses the directionin which the channels are accessed. If you wish to switch to the ALARMS sub-level,continue to step e.

e. Change from the REPORT mode to the ALARM mode by pressing "**1#" whichwill cause SolarFlow Plus to open its Alarm mode area for access. SolarFlow Pluswill respond "ALARM" once this has occurred. Security codes ending with a twocan only hear the existing alarm parameters. To change any parameters requires asecurity code ending with a one or zero which is entered before the REPORT mode.

f. To acknowledge an alarm in the ALARM mode, type the alarm number and enter(#); then respond "*#". An acknowledged alarm will call back if the alarm conditiongoes away and then reappears. "0#" disables the alarm; "1#" enables the alarm. Adisabled alarm never calls out, is never entered in the Event Log, etc. (See example.)A call-out alarm may also be acknowledged in the REPORT mode. Refer to theALARM mode examples for the sequence of events.

SECTION 44-12


g. The SET mode may be entered from either the ALARM mode or the REPORT modeby pressing "**2#". The channel number of the specific application is used to obtainaccess to the desired parameter. When switching one of the digital output channels(Channels 5-8, 11-15) from off to on or vice versa, "1#" turns an option on and "0#"turns the option off. For the sequence of events, refer to the examples.

4.5.3 VOICE COMMUNICATION EXAMPLES

Following are typical examples of how to use the phone communication menu. For theseexamples the security code is 111, and the location is 164. After contact with SolarFlow Plus isestablished, you will hear:

REPORT

(SolarFlow Plus is now on line in REPORT mode)

4.5.3.1 Report Mode Examples

Example1: Channel Zero, User Report.

Example2: Single channel report desired.

Channel 19 accesses the current battery voltage.

REPORT19# 019 BATTERY 12.34 VOLTSREPORT

Example3: Channel "1" is an input digital channel representing the use or non-use of a livespecific gravity input.

REPORT 1# 001 ACTUAL SG YESREPORT

In the example, the descriptive label is ACTUAL SG and the On/Off labels areYES and NO, respectively. In the example, digital channel "1" is on.

It is also possible to scroll forward and/or backward through the channels whilein the Report Mode. The next channel report is accessed by "#", while "*#"reverses the direction in which the channels are accessed.

Example4: You wish to report the analog input channels, which begin with Channel 19.

SECTION 44-14


4.5.3.2 Alarm Mode Examples

Alarm Mode Assume that alarm "3" was enabled and has activated, resulting in a call-out.**1 When the SolarFlow Plus initiates an alarm call-out, it will dial the appropriate

phone number (downloaded to the SolarFlow Plus by HCS). It then repeats"ALARM...ALARM..." for about 40 seconds. Since the SolarFlow Plus cannotdetect whether the phone has been answered, the user must press "#" to initiatelogon. Thus:

ALARM...ALARM...ALARM... #SolarFlow Plus:# LOCATION 164:111# (security code)REPORT

At this point the simplest procedure is to press 0# for the Channel Zero report.This report will include the alarm that caused the call-out and will automaticallyacknowledge it. To log off here, press "99#". Thus:

REPORT0#DATE 11/15 TIME 12:04 LOCATION 164ALARM 3 PRES HIGH020 FLOW PRES 260 PSIG021 FLOW TEMP 85 DEGFREPORT 99#

Alarm "3" is now an acknowledged alarm and will continue to appear on theChannel Zero report until the alarm is deactivated. The alarm that caused thecall-out will not produce another call-out unless the alarm condition goes away (isdeactivated) and then reappears (is activated). Other alarms will continue tofunction normally.

SECTION 4 4-15


Example1: This is an example of the alarm acknowledged, then disabled.

REPORT0#DATE 11/15 TIME 12:04 LOCATION 164ALARM 3 PRES HIGH020 FLOW PRES 260 PSIG021 FLOW TEMP 85 DEGFREPORT**1#ALARM 3#ALARM 3 PRES HIGHALARM 3 ON 0#ALARM 3 OFF OK? #ACCEPTEDLOW 30 *#ACKNOWLEDGEDALARM

Note that a disabled alarm will never call out, never appear on the Channel Zeroreport, and never be seen in the event log. An alarm condition scan may berequested to detect any changes which may have occurred since the last scan.

ALARM 0# SCANNING...DATE 11/15 TIME 12:04 LOCATION 164ALARM 1 TEMP HIGH020 FLOW PRES 260 PSIG021 FLOW TEMP 95 DEGFALARM

Example2: Now note that alarm "1" has activated. Since it has not yet initiated a call-out,it cannot be automatically acknowledged by requesting a Channel Zero report.The following procedure could be used to acknowledge alarm "1".

ALARM 1#ALARM 1 TEMP HIGHALARM 1 ON *#ACKNOWLEDGEDALARM

Example3: Setting an Analog Input.

Analog input channels 19 through 26 require a special procedure to set theFIXING to a desired value. Channels 29 through 95 may be set by accessing theSet mode: press **2 followed by the desired channel number. The analog inputsare set while in a special maintenance mode. Channel 98 is the maintenanceoption channel and three options are possible.

MAINT OPT 0 -- Signifies normal operation.

MAINT OPT 1 -- Fixes all analog inputs at the last value read. This optionalso allows the user to fix selected analog inputs forcalculation purposes. The analog inputs remain fixed untilthe user exits the voice access mode or until the MAINTOPT is changed to 0 or 2.

SECTION 44-18


MAINT OPT 2 -- Unfixes all analog inputs except those set while in MAINTOPT 1. Any analog inputs set remain in the fixed modeuntil MAINT OPT is changed back to 0. The user may exitthe voice access mode and the fixed analog inputs remainfixed.

Example4: It is determined that a temperature transmitter has failed and requires service backat the warehouse. It is decided to place the analog input channel for temperature(e.g., Channel 22) in the fixed mode at a temperature of 67 degrees Fahrenheit.

REPORT**2# Used to select the SET mode.

SET 98 # 098 MAINT OPT 0 1 #098 MAINT OPT 1 OK? #ACCEPTED

The three lines above set channel 98 from maintenance option "0" to maintenanceoption "1". All analog inputs have the last value read and are not read again untila different MAINT OPT is entered (0 or 2). The analog inputs may now be setto a desired fixed value.

SET 22 # 022 METR TEMP 95 DEGF 67 #022 METR TEMP 67 DEGF OK?#ACCEPTED

The three lines above fix channel 22 at 67 degrees Fahrenheit.SET 98 # 098 MAINT OPT 1 2#

098 MAINT OPT 2 OK? #ACCEPTED

The three lines above place the MAINT OPT in option "2", which, as describedabove, unfixes all analog inputs except those that are set while in MAINT OPT1.

Channel 22 remains fixed at 67 degrees Fahrenheit until the user changes theMAINT OPT back to "0", which is done as follows:

SET 98 # 098 MAINT OPT 2 0 #098 MAINT OPT 0 OK? #ACCEPTED

5.3 HHDT DISPLAY

The HHDT has a liquid crystal display (LCD) of four, 16-character lines. The display supportsthe 26-character alphabet, numerals 0 (zero) through 9, and various other symbols and characters.The display can be made darker and lighter by pressing the keys labeled DARK and LIGHT(which are the shared with the letters B and C respectively). Error codes that appear on thedisplay are defined in paragraph 7-5.

5.4 BATTERY LIFE

The HHDT has four AA-size batteries that provide power for approximately 20 hours. Whenapproximately 2 hours of battery life remain, the display on the HHDT shows LOW BATTERY,and the normal cursor is replaced by a darkened square. The batteries should be changed whenthis condition occurs. No data is lost in RAM while changing the batteries if the operation takesno longer than two minutes. The procedure for changing the HHDT batteries is provided inparagraph 3.1.2.

5.5 HHDT MEMORY STORAGE CAPACITY

The standard 512K HHDT has a capacity of approximately 476,000 bytes of memory for storingdata logs and the event Log in the HHDT. The event log requires approximately 25 percent ofthis HHDT memory capacity. (This requirement is approximate, however, and not constant.)If 25 percent of the HHDT memory is required for the event log, the remaining 75 percentavailable for storing data logs is 357,000 Bytes. The total number of data log entries that canbe stored in this available memory depends, however, on the number of entries in each log andthe number of digits in each data log entry. Refer to paragraph 6.4 for SolarFlow Plus storage.

The total amount of data that can be collected can be approximated using the followingcalculation and the percentage of available memory displayed by the unit.This is onlyanapproximation.

1. Using the following equation, calculate the number of bytes required to store eachentry in the log. Memory requirement for each entry item = 1 + DIGITS/2, WhereDIGITS is the number of digits logged in the item.

2. Total the number of bytes required for all entries in the log.

3. Add the data log overhead requirement of 6 bytes. The total is the approximatetotal memory required for the data log.

SECTION 55-6


Example:

A typical SolarFlow Plus data log includes the following items in the default data log list.

Item Label Digits Byte Calculation Bytes Per Item

METR PRES1 6 1 + (6/2) 4DIFF PRES1 4 1 + (4/2) 3METR TEMP 4 1 + (4/2) 3METR PRES2 6 1 + (6/2) 4DIFF PRES2 4 1 + (4/2) 3VOL LOG 1 6 1 + (6/2) 4VOL LOG 2 6 1 + (6/2) 4TODAY VOL 8 1 + (8/2) 5YSDAY VOL 8 1 + (8/2) 5

Subtotal 35 BytesData log overhead requirement 6Total approximate memory requirement for the log 41 Bytes

4. Divide 357,000 Bytes (if 75 percent of the memory is available for data collection)by 41 Bytes per data log, which gives a storage capacity for approximately 8,707data log entries.

5. If the SolarFlow Plus computer is logging at hourly intervals, the HHDT can collect362 days (8707/24 hours per day) of hourly data. If 30 days of data are collectedfrom each individual SolarFlow Plus unit, the HHDT can store data from 12SolarFlow Plus computers (362/30 = 12+).

5.6 STARTUP

Pressing the ON key applies power to the HHDT and starts an initiation routine. When theroutine is complete, the unit displays:

SolarFlow Plus

HHDT MOD REV x1-9Press Any Key...

SECTION 5 5-7


After approximately five minutes of inactivity (nothing keyed-in at the keypad), the HHDT timesout and turns itself off. The HHDT must be disconnected from the SolarFlow Plus unit andreconnected before communications can be reestablished.

5.6.1 PASSWORD ENTRY

Password entry only applies if "PASSWORDS" have been entered into the HHDT. If nopasswords exist in the HHDT, the information shown in paragraph 5.6.2 will be displayed.

After pressing any key, the HHDT requests the entry of a password if passwords have beenentered into the HHDT. (See paragraph 5.12.5.5.) The following display appears:

SolarFlow Plus

PASSWORD?

OK?

The operator enters a password and the HHDT displays a prompt asking if the entry is OK?. Ifthe display is not correct, the operator presses NO (CLEAR) and a prompt requests a newpassword. If the password is correctly keyed in, the operator presses YES. The HHDT verifieswhether or not the password is valid. If the password is not valid, the HHDT does not acceptthe password and returns the display requesting a password.

5.6.2 MEMORY AVAILABLE

If the password is accepted, the following display appears.

LOG SPACEAVAILABLE: xxx%

Press Any Key...

The value represented by xxx% is the amount of HHDT RAM space available for storingcollected data and event logs. The value ranges from 0 TO 100 percent. If during an operatingsession, the logs collected exceed the available amount of memory, the HHDT displaysINSUFFICIENT MEMORY AVAILABLE and the collect operation is aborted.

When a key is pressed in response to the prompt, the unit displays the HHDT menu, whichserves as the main menu for the HHDT. The HHDT menu is discussed in paragraph 5.8.1.

SECTION 55-8


5.7 OPERATING MODES

The HHDT supports two modes of operation: NOVICE and EXPERT. The NOVICE moderequires the operator to step through all the parameters listed in the menu in order to makechanges to any of the parameters in the menu. The EXPERT mode permits the operator tochange application parameters by selecting the parameter to be changed directly rather thanstepping through the entire list of parameters in the menu.

The operating mode is selected by pressing the USER MODE key while either the LOGON orLOGOFF main menus are displayed. The USER MODE key is shared with the letter A. In theEXPERT mode, the cursor is displayed as ->. In the NOVICE mode, the cursor is displayed as>.

A security code list fora specific application of the Model 2470 is provided in the application manual.

The HHDT displays the security code keyed-in by the operator and prompts "OK? (Y/N)". Ifthe value displayed is the one intended, the operator presses ENTER again. The HHDTmomentarily displays "Working....", followed by the SolarFlow Plus menu.

The computer records an entry in the event log each time someone logs on to a SolarFlow Plusunit. The entry shows the date, time, and security code used to gain access to the unit.

5.10 DEFINING OR CHANGING SOLARFLOW PLUS PARAMETERS

SolarFlow Plus parameters are defined or changed in the SETUP LOCATION and SETUP UNITsubmenus of the SolarFlow Plus menu. SETUP LOCATION provides for defining or changingparameters associated with a specific SolarFlow Plus location. SETUP UNIT provides fordefining or changing parameters associated with a specific SolarFlow Plus Computer. Parametersfor a specific SolarFlow Plus application are provided in the manual supplement for thatapplication. The manual supplement and this manual together provide a complete informationpackage for a specific installation. Each of the items discussed in SETUP LOCATION menu andSETUP UNIT menu below matches an item in the application manual. The discussions ofSETUP LOCATION and SETUP UNIT that follow discuss the procedures for NOVICE mode.The procedures for EXPERT mode do not require a separate discussion once the procedures forNOVICE mode are understood. Refer to paragraph 5.7.

5.10.2 SETUP UNIT MENU

The standard HHDT for the Model 2470 SolarFlow Plus has an erasable, programmable,read-only memory (EPROM) that supports as many as eight applications of the Model 2470SolarFlow Plus computer. The first time a SolarFlow Plus computer is started up, the SETUPUNIT menu provides for selecting the application for which the unit is configured. Applicationselection is required only once since a battery backup is supplied as standard for the randomaccess memory (RAM). A SolarFlow Plus application can be changed voluntarily by the user,however, using the RESET CMOD function. RESET CMOD is explained in the GENERALsubmenu discussion that follows.

In addition to providing for selecting the application, the SETUP UNIT menu provides forentering and changing parameters associated with the application for which a individualSolarFlow Plus is configured. These parameters are arranged in five submenus that coverdifferent categories of information: GENERAL, INPUTS, SCALES, configuration (CONFIG),and FACTORS. The HHDT provides two operating modes for making entries to the SETUPUNIT menu, NOVICE and EXPERT, which are defined in paragraph 5.7.

The SETUP UNIT menu is selected by positioning the cursor at SETUP UNIT selection andpressing ENTER. The first time the SolarFlow Plus computer is started up, a list of availableapplications appears on the display. There are many applications available for use with astandard HHDT. Check with Sales for specific applications.

The correct application must be selected by positioning the cursor at the application desired andpressing the ENTER key. SolarFlow Plus then displays the SETUP UNIT menu, which providesfor selecting one of the submenus: GENERAL, INPUTS, SCALES, CONFIG, FACTORS, etc.

SECTION 55-18


5.10.2.1 GENERAL Submenu

Entering the GENERAL submenu from the SETUP UNIT menu provides up to six selections:UNIT NAME, UNIT ID, CONTRACT HR, LOG INTRVL, LOG DEFINE, AND RESETCMOD.

5.10.2.1.1 Unit Name

UNIT NAME is the first parameter in the submenu. UNIT NAME provides for entering orchanging the name of the SolarFlow Plus unit.

Entering UNIT NAME displays the existing name of the unit (or a blank), and the prompt "OK?Y/N". The existing name is saved or changed in the same fashion described in paragraph5.10.1.1 for changing LOC NAME in the SETUP LOCATION menu. A unit name is limited toa maximum of 15 alphanumeric characters. The name selected is printed at the top of data logreports.

5.10.2.1.2 Unit Identification Number

UNIT ID is the second parameter in the GENERAL submenu. It provides for entering orchanging the ID number for the the SolarFlow Plus unit. A UNIT ID may consist of a maximumof 10 alphanumeric characters. The unit number selected is printed at the top of data log reports.

Saving the existing ID number or entering a new ID number is accomplished in the same manneras saving the existing name or entering a new name described in paragraph 5.10.1.1. Pressingthe ENTER key at the end of the UNIT ID procedure produces the third parameter in theGENERAL submenu, CONTRCT HR.

5.10.2.1.3 Contract Hour

CONTRCT HR is the third parameter in the GENERAL submenu. It provides for entering orchanging the contract hour for the application. Valid entries are whole hours ranging from 0(midnight) to 23 (11:00 P.M.). Pressing the ENTER key in response to the "OK? Y/N" promptexits the CONTRCT HR submenu and produces the fourth parameter in the GENERAL submenu,LOG INTRVL.

SECTION 5 5-19


5.10.2.1.4 Log Interval

LOG INTRVL is the fourth parameter in the GENERAL submenu and provides for: (1) enteringor changing the time interval between collecting data for successive logs, and (2) setting the timeperiod for averaging analog inputs for the data report. Pressing the NO key in response to the"OK? Y/N" prompt steps the display through the available options: NONE, 5 MIN, 15 MIN, 30MIN, 1 HOUR, 4 HOUR, and 24 HOUR. A new interval is selected by pressing the ENTER(YES) key when the desired interval appears on the display. Pressing the ENTER key also exitsthe LOG INTRVL submenu and displays the fifth selection in the GENERAL submenu, LOGDEFINE.

5.10.2.1.5 Log Define

LOG DEFINE is the fifth parameter in the GENERAL submenu and provides for adding,deleting, or modifying items contained in the Data Log list. The Data Log list may contain upto fifteen items to be logged. Items are included in the list by entering a five-character groupthat has the form, ChTLD, which defines the item to be logged.

The LOG DEFINE prompt in the INPUTS submenu is used to add, delete, or modify itemscontained in the Data Log list. A five or six-character alphanumeric entry defines the item tobe logged. For example, the six characters "020A61"* are defined as follows by the charactersChTLD:

Ch: channel number, which is 020 in the example 020A61T: type of log, which is A in the example 020A61.

T can be:A for average over log interval.S for snapshotZ for snapshot and zero at logging time

L: number of digits to be logged, which is 6 in theexample 020A61

D: number of decimal places to be displayed, which is1 in the example 020A61.

Therefore, "020A61" is decoded to mean that the item to be logged is an input from Channel 20(Metr Pres), with a value averaged over the logged interval. The item has six digits with onenumber after the decimal point.

*If your HHDT application uses the five-digitChTLD prompt, do not use the leading zero (inthis case, channel numbers must be two digits only).

SECTION 55-20


Pressing the DOWN arrow scrolls down through the list of logged items. The INSERT andDELETE keys may be used as well. Data log entries may be deleted from the list, (using theDELETE key), or added, (using the INSERT key), up to a maximum of 15 items.

NOTE: Changing the LOG DEFINE submenu erases prior data logs and retrieving them is notpossible. For this reason, collect all data logs in SolarFlow Plus before makingchanges in the LOG DEFINE submenu.

Pressing the ENTER key at the end of the LOG DEFINE procedure displays the sixth parameterin the GENERAL submenu, RESET CMOD.

5.10.2.1.6 Reset CMOD

RESET CMOD (reset calculations module) is the sixth parameter in the GENERAL submenu.Paragraph 5.10.2 discussed selecting the SolarFlow Plus application when the unit was initiallystarted up. After initial startup, RESET CMOD provides for changing the SolarFlow Plusconfiguration to perform calculations for a different application if the application EPROM setsupports more than one application.

RESET CMOD appears on the display with the function OFF and the prompt "OK? Y/N".Pressing the CLEAR (NO) key toggles the display to read ON. Pressing the ENTER key exitsthe GENERAL submenu and displays the SETUP UNIT menu. Pressing the MENU key displaysthe SOLARFLOW PLUS menu.

Positioning the cursor at SETUP UNIT and pressing the ENTER key re-enters the SETUP UNITmenu. The list of available applications appears on the display as at the initial startup of the unit.A new application is selected by positioning the cursor at the application desired and pressingthe ENTER key. SolarFlow Plus then displays the SETUP UNIT menu, which provides formaking any parameter changes required for the new application.

SECTION 5 5-21


5.10.2.2 Inputs Submenu

INPUTS is the second submenu in the SETUP UNIT menu and provides for changing from theLIVE to FIXED values for the various analog inputs that are part of an application. The AUX1key on the HHDT toggles the input between the FIXED and LIVE value types. A FIXED valueis indicated by an asterisk (*) following the analog value in the display. As long as the valueis FIXED, the asterisk appears following the analog value whenever the value is displayed on theLCD.

Pressing ENTER followed by the AUX1 key places a LIVE value in the FIXED mode. Anasterisk appears following the value and the prompt "OK? Y/N" also appears on the last line ofthe display.

a. If the value shown is the one desired for SolarFlow Plus calculations, pressing theENTER key fixes the analog input at the value displayed. SolarFlow Plus uses thevalue displayed for calculations until the value is changed or restored to a LIVE input.Pressing the ENTER key to fix the analog value also displays the next analog inputon the list.

b. Pressing the CLEAR (NO) key in response to the "OK? Y/N" prompt, keying in thedesired value, and pressing the YES (ENTER) key produces the prompt "OK? Y/N"again. If the new value displayed is correct, pressing the ENTER key fixes the valuedisplayed for SolarFlow Plus calculations.

It may require several calculation cycles for the new value to appear.

c. Pressing the AUX1 key when the display shows a FIXED value restores the analoginput to a LIVE value for SolarFlow Plus calculations and the asterisk disappearsfrom the display. The value displayed at the conclusion of the next calculation cyclewill be the LIVE value.

SECTION 55-22


5.10.2.3 Scales Submenu

SCALES is the third submenu in the SETUP UNIT menu and provides for reviewing ormodifying low- and high-scale settings for analog inputs to the application.

An input is selected for modification by positioning the cursor at the input and pressing ENTER.THE HHDT displays the current low- or high-scale value along with the prompt "OK? Y/N".Pressing the CLEAR (NO) key permits changing the value.

Changing the scale of an analog input channel requires recalibration of the input to ensureaccurate calculations.

5.10.2.4 Configuration Submenu

The CONFIG submenu is the fourth submenu in the SETUP UNIT menu and provides fordefining operating parameters that effect the application, such as line size and base pressure.Values are changed in response to the "OK? Y/N" prompt in the same fashion describedpreviously.

Values are toggled between FIXED and LIVE in the same fashiondescribed in the paragraph 5.10.2.2 for the INPUTS submenu. An asterisk is displayed afterFIXED values.

SECTION 5 5-23


5.11 CALIBRATE UNIT MENU

The CALIBRATE UNIT menu provides for matching the SolarFlow Plus analog inputcircuitry/software with the outputs from the 1-5 VDC analog transmitters that send data toSolarFlow Plus.

5.11.1 THREE-POINT AND FOUR-POINT CALIBRATION

Model 2470 single or multiple meter-tube flow computers support three-point calibration of allanalog inputs and four-point calibration of differential pressure (DP) inputs. The three valuesdesignated for three-point calibration are ZERO SET, FULL SET, and MID SET. The DP valuesfor four-point calibration are ZERO SET, FULL SET, MID SET, and LOW BIAS. Pressing theAUX2 key during three- or four-point calibration bypasses the MID SET procedure. Duringfour-point calibration, pressing AUX2 key also bypasses the LOW BIAS procedure for DPtransmitters.

Three-point calibration provides for a quadratic or parabolic fit of the three calibration points.Two-point calibration (when MID SET is bypassed) results in generating a straight line betweenthe ZERO and FULL setpoints. The line is extended to the 1-volt and 5-volt intercept points.

The LOW BIAS setpoint, for DP inputs, compensates for zero shift resulting from normal staticpressure across the DP transmitter.

5.11.2 ACCEPTING AND REJECTING CALIBRATION

SolarFlow Plus has a built-in reference table that correlates the 1-to-5 volt analog inputs to a bitcount.

If the deviation between the "expected"(VALUE DISPLAYED) and the "actual"(user enteredvalue) bit count is less than 25 percent, SolarFlow Plus will adjust its table to account for thedeviation and accept the calibration. This is Case 1 in the following table.

If the deviation between the "expected" and the "actual" bit count is greater than 25 percent, theHHDT will display "OVER-DEVIATION CALIBRATION REJECTED". No EVENT log recordwill be made, and SolarFlow Plus will use the priorcalibration data. This is Case 2. Re-checkthe calibration. If calibration is still rejected, refer to the Problem Diagnosis suggestions inSection 7.

SECTION 55-24


ACTUAL VALUE HHDT DISPLAY EVENT LOG ENTRY(XMTR) DISPLAYED

Case 1 100.5 100 CALIBRATION ACCEPTED Entries for eachcalibration

Case 2 50 100 OVER-DEVIATION (none)CALIBRATION REJECTED

NOTES: (1) Zero scale =0.0 (1.0 VDC analog input) and full scale =100.0 in this case or(5.0 VDC analog input).

(2) The ACTUAL (XMTR) value shown in the table is for "FULL SET" duringcalibration.

(3) ACTUAL and VALUE DISPLAYED were identical for ZERO SET and LOWBIAS if present.

(4) ACTUAL differed from VALUE DISPLAYED by an amount proportional tothe FULL SET error for MID SET if present.

5.11.3 CALIBRATION REFERENCE DEVICES

Calibration is carried out against the outputs of reference devices such as a PK tester for DP, adead-weight tester for static pressure, or a calibrated bath for temperature. Instead of a calibratedbath, the temperature transmitter input may be calibrated against a reference resistor or inreference to a yellow-back thermometer placed in the flow stream. In all cases a minimum oftwo known calibration temperatures are required.

The equations used by SolarFlow Plus to calibrate natural gas volumes through orifice meters arebased on The American Gas Association (AGA) Transmission Measurement Committee ReportNo.3 (AGA-3), ComparisonAnalysis of Orifice Metering of Natural Gas and Other RelatedHydrocarbonFluids, AGA ReportNo.3, (1985). Corrections to calibration equipment, used forboth DP and static pressure, are listed in Appendix E of the (American Gas Association AGA-3reference manual and are the responsibility of the user. Those corrections, with the exceptionof FA, are not included in the flow equations.

SECTION 5 5-25


5.11.4 CALIBRATING ANALOG PRESSURE INPUTS

Before calibrating analog input circuits, ensure that the low- and full-scale values listed underthe SCALES submenu of the SETUP UNIT menu match the low- and full-scale values of thetransmitters under calibration. The default values may not match the actual transmitter values.

Also ensure that all tools necessary for completing the calibration are available and at hand.Refer to the list provided in paragraph 2.2.2.

Analog input values are calibrated using the following procedure.

Step "PRESSURES" Calibration Procedure

1 Power up the HHDT and place the HHDT in the EXPERT mode by pressing the USERMODE key. When in the EXPERT mode, the cursor is displayed as an arrow (->).

2 Log on to the SolarFlow Plus computer and select the CALIBRATE UNIT submenu bypositioning the cursor at CALIBRATE UNIT and pressing the ENTER key. The HHDTdisplays WORKING ...., then displays two selections, PRESSURES and OTHERS.

The PRESSURES selection provides for calibrating both differential and static pressuretransmitters. The OTHERS selection provides for calibrating temperature transmitterinputs and other special inputs. Choosing one of the selections places all the input valuescovered by the selection in the FIXED mode for SolarFlow Plus calculations. The "FixedValue" used is the last measured value from each transmitter. The values remain FIXEDuntil the "PRESSURES OTHERS" menu is re-displayed. The HHDT displays a list ofanalog inputs that are calibrated in the selection chosen.

3 Position the cursor at the PRESSURES selection and press ENTER. Position the cursorat the analog pressure input to be calibrated and press ENTER. Apply the referencepressure input to the transmitter.

SECTION 55-26



Do not apply reference pressure inputs to SolarFlow Plus before this point in theprocedure. When PRESSURES is selected in Step 3, SolarFlow Plus fixes all analogpressure inputs for calculations at the value being received when PRESSURES is selected.Applying the reference pressure input prior to selecting PRESSURES fixes the inputs atthe reference pressure rather than the last current input.

4 The HHDT displays "ZERO SET OK?" and a value for the low setpoint. Adjust theoutput of the reference pressure device to a value at or near the low-scale value of thetransmitter. As the output of the reference pressure device is adjusted, the HHDTdisplays the value received by SolarFlow Plus. Allow approximately two seconds delayafter an adjustment for SolarFlow Plus to update the value received. When the HHDTdisplay is stable, press YES if the display reads the same as the reference pressure output,then press ENTER. Press NO if the value displayed is different from the referencepressure. The HHDT requests a correct value. Key in the pressure transmitted by thereference pressure device and press ENTER. The HHDT displays "ZERO SET OK?".Press YES if the HHDT display reads the same as the reference pressure output.

5 The HHDT displays "FULL SET OK?" and a value for the high setpoint. Adjust theoutput of the reference pressure device to a value at or near the high-scale value of thetransmitter. As the output of the reference pressure device is adjusted, the HHDTdisplays the value received by SolarFlow Plus. As in the ZERO SET procedure, allowapproximately two seconds delay after an adjustment for SolarFlow Plus to update thevalue received. When the HHDT display is stable, press YES if the display reads thesame as the reference pressure output, then press ENTER. Press NO if the valuedisplayed is different from the reference pressure. The HHDT requests a correct value.Key in the pressure transmitted by the reference pressure device and press ENTER. TheHHDT displays "FULL SET OK?". Press YES if the HHDT display reads the same asthe reference pressure output.

6 The HHDT displays "MID SET OK?" and a value for the mid setpoint.

Press the AUX2 key if no mid setpoint calibration is desired and proceed to Step 7 whencalibrating DP inputs, or to Step 8 when calibrating static pressure inputs.

SECTION 5 5-27



If mid-set calibration is desired, adjust the output of the reference pressure device to avalue at or near the mid-scale value of the transmitter. As the output of the referencepressure device is adjusted, the HHDT displays the value received by SolarFlow Plus.As in the previous calibration procedures, allow approximately two seconds delay afteran adjustment for SolarFlow Plus to update the value received. When the HHDT displayis stable, press YES if the display reads the same as the reference pressure output, thenpress ENTER. Press NO if the value displayed is different from the reference pressure.The HHDT requests a correct value. Key in the pressure transmitted by the referencepressure device and press ENTER. The HHDT displays "MID SET OK?". Press YESif the HHDT display reads the same as the reference pressure output.

7 When calibrating a DP input in the PRESSURES selection, the HHDT displays "LOWBIAS OK?" and a value for the low bias setting.

LOW BIAS Calibration compensates for the zero shift of a DP transmitter caused byoperating the transmitter at a pressure different from the static pressure during ZERO,FULL and MID SET calibration. Press the AUX2 key if no low bias calibration isdesired and proceed to Step 9.

If low bias calibration is required, either remove or isolate the PK Tester from the DPtransmitter to prevent high pressure damage to the PK tester. Configure the manifold sothat no pressure differential exists across the transmitter sensors. Bring both sides of theDP sensor to the normal operating static pressure. As in previous calibration procedures,the HHDT display reflects the changes received from the calibration device after anapproximate two-second delay.

Press ENTER when the HHDT display stabilizes after changing the output of thecalibration device. The HHDT displays the prompt "OK? Y/N". If the HHDT displays0 (zero), press ENTER. If the displayed value is not zero, press NO, key in 0 (zero), thenpress ENTER.

SECTION 55-28



8 The HHDT either accepts or rejects the calibration in accordance with the criteriadiscussed in paragraph 5.11.2. If the HHDT accepts the calibration, the message,CALIBRATION ACCEPTED - PRESS ANY KEY TO CONTINUE, appears on thedisplay. Pressing any key causes the HHDT to display the preceding menu. Pressing theMENU key on the HHDT displays the PRESSURES, OTHERS menu, and returns theanalog inputs listed in the PRESSURES or OTHERS selections to return to LIVE values.If calibration is rejected, the HHDT displays the message, OVER DEVIATION -CALIBRATION REJECTED, which indicates that the values entered for the calibrationpoints were outside the limits established by the criteria discussed in paragraph 5.11.2When this message appears, the reason for the calibration rejection must be determined,for example, wiring errors, transmitter zero and span may be out of tolerance or thetransmitter may be defective. Pressing the MENU key returns all inputs to the LIVEstatus and exits from the calibration procedure.

Always exit from the CALIBRATE UNIT menu as soon as calibration procedures arecomplete to prevent inadvertent entries.

5.11.5 SPAN CALIBRATION PROCEDURE FOR THE ROSEMOUNT ALPHALINEMODEL 1151DP DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE TRANSMITTER

During calibration with the HHDT, the Rosemount Alphaline Model 1151DP differential pressuretransmitter may require a span-suppression correction factor (K) in addition to the calibrationdiscussed in paragraph 5.11.4.

The value of K (the span suppression correction factor) depends on the range of the Model1151DP transmitter. The following table provides the correction factor corresponding totransmitter range.

Model 1151DP Range Span Suppression Correction Factor (K)

3 (5 to 30 Inches ofwater ["H2O]) K = .0175/1000 PSI

4 (25 to 150 "H2O) K = .009/1000 PSI5 (125 to 750 "H2O) K = .008/1000 PSI

SECTION 5 5-29


The procedure for calibrating the Model 1151DP follows.

Step Span Calibration Procedure

1 Calculate the Rosemount effect (ROSE) as follows:

ROSE = AOP/1000• K

Where:AOP is the average operating pressure in PSIG.

2 Calculate the FULL SET value for entry during the calibration procedure in 5.11.4.

FULL SET = Full scale + (Full scale• ROSE)

3 During calibration with the HHDT, apply the FULL SET value obtained in the previousstep.

EXAMPLE:

If:

AOP is 525 PSIG

Model 1151DP range is 3 (Full scale value = 30 "H2O). See table above.

K is .0175/1000 PSI from table above.

Step 1: Calculate ROSE.

ROSE = 525/1000• .0175 = .0091875

Step 2: Calculate HIGH SET.

HIGH SET = 30 + (30• .0091875) = 30.28

Step 3: During HIGH SET calibration with the HHDT, apply 30 inches H2O to thetransmitter, then enter 30.28 for the HIGH SET value on the HHDT.

SECTION 55-30


The K factor is a linear percent of reading error, therefore the ROSE effect remains thesame even if the Model 1151DP is calibrated for a different range. For example, if thepressure range is zero (0) to 20 inches H2O:

HIGH SET = 20 + (20• .0091875) = 20.184

5.11.6 CALIBRATING ANALOG INPUTS OTHER THAN PRESSURES

Selecting the CALIBRATE UNIT submenu menu displays WORKING ...., then displays twoselections, PRESSURES and OTHERS. The PRESSURES selection provides for calibratingpressure transmitter inputs. The OTHERS selection provides for calibrating temperaturetransmitter inputs and other special inputs. Choosing one of the selections places all the inputvalues covered by the selection in the FIXED mode for SolarFlow Plus calculations. The valuesremain FIXED until the "PRESSURES, OTHERS" menu is re-displayed. The HHDT displaysa list of analog inputs that are calibrated in the selection chosen.

Analog input values other than pressures are calibrated using the same procedure provided inparagraph 5.11.4 with the exception that no low-bias calibration is applicable.

5.11.7 TEMPERATURE MODULE CALIBRATION PROCEDURE

One of two temperature calibration modules are provided with each Model 2470 SolarFlow Plusunits depending on the type of temperature transmitter supplied with the unit. Units suppliedwith a Rosemount Model 444 transmitter are provided with the Model 444 temperaturecalibration module. The Model 444 calibration module allows for calibration at two referencepoints; 32oF and at 100oF.

SolarFlow Plus units supplied with the Daniel Model 417 temperature transmitter are providedwith the Model 417 temperature calibration module, which allows for calibration at two referencepoints; 0oF (zero) and 150oF. Resistance vs Temperature charts are included in Appendix F.Model 444 uses a 100-ohm probe and the Model 417 uses a 500-ohm probe.

5.11.7.1 Calibration Procedure with the Model 417 Module

The Model 417 temperature transmitter is essentially linear, therefore two-point calibrationprovides virtually the same accuracy as three-point calibration. For this reason, the thirdcalibration point, MID-SET, may be bypassed by pressing the AUX2 key on the HHDT at theMID-SET prompt. If three-point calibration is desired, however, the ambient temperature of theline can serve as the MID-SET point. A yellow-back thermometer properly installed in the flowline should provide the reference for the third calibration point.

5 After completing ZERO SET and FULL SET calibration, remove the test module andreconnect all wires as they are normally connected.

6 The HHDT prompts the user for MID SET. Pressing the AUX2 key on the HHDTbypasses the third calibration point. If three-point calibration is desired, return the Model417 to normal service and allow the transmitter to stabilize at flowing temperatureconditions. Enter the value read from a properly installed yellow-back thermometer asthe third or MID SET calibration point.

5.11.7.2 Calibration Procedure with the Model 444 Module

The temperature sensing element of the Model 444 temperature transmitter is essentially linear,therefore two-point calibration provides virtually the same accuracy as three-point calibration.For this reason, the third calibration point, MID-SET, may be bypassed by pressing the AUX2key on the HHDT at the MID-SET prompt. If three-point calibration is desired, however, theambient temperature of the line can serve as the MID-SET point. A yellow-back thermometerproperly installed in the flow line should provide the reference for the third calibration point.

A schematic illustration of the Model 444 module is shown in Figure 5-4.

Event number 20 shows that the date and time were changed.The date/time group shown under Value #1, 80010100194101, uses the formatYYMMDDHHMMSSWW, (year/month/day/hour/minute/hour/second/day-of-week). The group 80010100194101, therefore would decode as: January 1, 1980, 19 minutesand 41 seconds after midnight, first day of the week. Day of the week (WW) corresponds to:01 = Sunday, 02 = Monday, ......, 07 = Saturday. The group shown under Value #2,88110410460006 decodes as November 4, 1988 10:46:00 AM and the sixth day of the week,Friday.

Event number 21 indicates that the computer was logged onto by a user using security codeBRZ670 at the date and time shown.

Events number 22 through 28 show a typical calibration sequence. In this example a DPtransmitter input was calibrated on channel 23. Events 22 and 23 show that the pressure relatedinputs were temporarily fixed (Channel Fixed Temp) at the values shown in the Value #2column. They will remain at these values until the calibration is complete, so as not to affecton-going calculations. Event number 24, Calibrate Value #0, is for the LOW Set calibrationvalue. The values under the Value #1 column are the raw values received by SolarFlow Plus.The values under the Value #2 column are those keyed into SolarFlow Plus via the HHDT duringthe calibration procedure. Event 25, Calibrate Value #1, is for the HIGH Set calibration valueand event number 26, Calibrate Value #2, is for the LOW BIAS calibration value. Events 27 and28 indicate the date and time the pressure related analog inputs were returned to their live values.If a Calibrate value #3 was shown in the description column it would indicate that a MID SETpoint was calibrated. In this example the MID SET calibration was not performed.

Event number 29 indicates that a user logged on the computer with security code number 120at the date and time shown.

Event number 30 shows that the Event Log stored within the SolarFlow Plus computer wascollected at the date and time shown. The date/time group shown under Value #1, 8811041100,uses the format YYMMDDHHMM, (year/month/day/hour/minute). The group 8811041100,therefore would decode as: November 4, 1988, 11:00 A.M. The group shown under Value #2,8811041135 decodes as November 4, 1988 11:35 A.M. The Event log collected would be for thetime period from Value #1 to Value #2.

SECTION 5 5-41


Event number 31 shows that the Data Log stored within the SolarFlow Plus computer wascollected at the date and time shown. The date/time group shown under Value #1, 8811041100,uses the format YYMMDDHHMM, (year/month/day/hour/minute). The group 8811041100,therefore would decode as: November 4, 1988, 11:00 A.M. The group shown under Value #2,8811042300 decodes as November 4, 1988 11:00 P.M. The Data log collected would be for thetime period from Value #1 to Value #2.

The analog inputsrelevant to the choice made are temporarily fixed at the current values. An event is recordedfor each input fixed. The vector field contains the SolarFlow Plus channel number reflectingthe analog input fixed. The value fields contain the value at which the analog input wasfixed.

The second "Channel Fixed Temp" event is caused when entering the Monitor Function ofthe HHDT. At this time, all analog inputs are fixed at their current values. The vector fieldcontains a zero (0). The value fields are blank.

Channel Fixed Perm:Permanent analog input values can be accomplished in the "Setup Unit" function of theHHDT. When an analog input is permanently fixed, the value is entered by the operator andfollowed by an asterisk (the "Aux 1" toggle key on the HHDT). This asterisk will followthe analog reading when displayed on the front panel or with the HHDT to reflect the fixedpermanent state. The vector field contains the SolarFlow Plus channel number reflecting theanalog input value fixed. The value fields contain the value of the analog input before andafter the fix.

SECTION 55-52


Channel Unfixed TempThis event can be caused by two different HHDT functions. When exiting the calibratefunction, the analog inputs in the calibration list are removed from their temporarily fixedstate. An event is recorded for each input unfixed. The vector field contains the SolarFlowPlus channel number reflecting the analog input unfixed. The value fields contain the valuebefore and after entering the calibration list.

The second "Channel Unfixed Temp" event is caused when exiting the Monitor Function ofthe HHDT. At this time, all analog inputs are unfixed at their current values. The vectorfield contains a zero (0). The value fields are blank.

Channel Unfixed PermPermanent analog input values must be unfixed in the "Setup Unit" function of the HHDT.When an analog input is permanently unfixed, the "Aux 1" key on the HHDT is toggled.The asterisk which followed the analog reading when displayed on the front panel or withthe HHDT is no longer present. The analog input value now returns to the current livereading. The vector field contains the SolarFlow Plus channel number reflecting the analoginput value unfixed. The value fields contain the value of the analog input before and afterthe fix.

Calibrate Over-Dev:The SolarFlow Plus monitors the calibration values set by the operator. After the low setand the high set have been entered, the flow computer determines whether the values enteredare within one percent of the original values. If they are not, an over-deviation event occurs.The vector field contains the SolarFlow Plus channel number reflecting the analog inputcalibrated. The value fields are blank.

SECTION 5 5-55


A data log printout shows the date and time of the log followed by a series of parameters thatwere defined to be included in it. In addition to the defined items, three other sets of data aresupplied at each log interval. These data are defined by the column heads on the line followingthe date, time, and values for an entry. The column heads are U-Range, O-Range, and Misc.(miscellaneous).

U-Range, O-Range, and Misc. are shown as a series of 8 dots (........) in the example above.

U-Range: The U-Range entry indicates whether or not any of the eight possible analog inputswere under range at any time during the log interval. An analog input is considered under rangewhen it is one percent of span below zero scale.

O-Range: The O-Range entry indicates whether or not any of the possible eight analog inputswere over range at any time during the log interval. An analog input is considered over rangewhen it is one percent of span above 100 percent scale.

The series of eight dots shown under the U-Range and O-Range column heads indicate in thefollowing fashion which, if any, of the eight analog inputs was under- or over-range condition.If one of the analog inputs is out of range, a number representing the out-of-range channelreplaces one of the decimal points.

For example, the Analog input channels are 19 through 26. Channel 19 corresponds to the firstdot, Channel 20 corresponds to the second dot, and so forth.

If Channels 20 (second dot), 23 (fifth dot), 24 (sixth dot), and 26 (eighth dot) were under rangeduring the log interval, the following would be displayed.

Date Time METR TEMP METR PRES1 DIFF PRES1 TODAY VOLU-Range O-Range Misc.

MM/DD/YY HH:MM xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx.2..56.8 ........ ........

The "2" replacing the second dot indicates that channel 20 was under range. The "5" in placeof the fifth dot indicates channel 23 was under range, and so forth. The same scheme ofreplacing dots corresponding to channels also applies to over-range channels. The channel No.will correspond to the channel for the particular application.

SECTION 55-56


The Misc. column indicates system conditions that occurred or were present during the loginterval by replacing a dot with a number that identifies a specified condition. These conditionbits should not be confused with the ALARM selection of the Solarflow Plus menu since theywill display the designated system conditions regardless of the ALARM set-up in the SolarFlowPlus menu. These condition bits cannot be activated, deactivated, or acknowledged. They willappear on the SolarFlow Plus data log.

The eight dots under the Misc. column correspond to the conditions defined in the followingtable.

Dot Number System Conditions

1 Calibration over-deviation2 Fpv adjusted pressure out of range3 Fpv adjusted temperature out of range4 Not used5 Designates daily log6 Warm start was enacted during interval7 Cold start was enacted during interval8 System fault

The System Conditions in the Enhanced software have been changed in the Misc column. Referto paragraph 5.14 if using Enhanced software.

SECTION 5 5-57


5.12.4 ERASE SELECTION

The ERASE selection provides for erasing collected logs. The HHDT provides a final checkprior to erasing a log to help prevent unintentionally erasing data. ERASE is the same for boththe EXPERT and the NOVICE modes. Following is the procedure for using the ERASEselection.

Step "ERASE" HHDT Data Procedure

1 Press enter at the ERASE selection of the HHDT menu. If data has beencollected into the HHDT, the HHDT displays ABOUT TO ERASECOLLECTED DATA! ARE YOU SURE?. If NO is pressed, the HHDTdisplays ABORTED and returns to the HHDT menu display. If YES ispressed and data has not yet been transmitted to a host communicationsprogram using the SEND selection, the HHDT displays DATA WAS NOTPREVIOUSLY SENT followed by a list of the file(s) in the HHDT.

2 The HHDT asks ARE YOU SURE ???. Pressing the NO key aborts theERASE function and returns to the main menu. If YES is pressed, theHHDT displays WORKING......, which indicates that the HHDT is erasingthe data. After the data is erased, the HHDT displays the HHDT menu.

5.12.5 CUSTOMIZE MENU

The CUSTOMIZEmenu has five selections submenus that provide for customizing the operationof the HHDT for individual locations. The menus are:

USER MODEKEY CLICKSENDPRINTPASSWORD

5.12.5.1 User Mode

USER MODE enables the selection of either the EXPERT or the NOVICE operating mode whenpowering up the HHDT.

SECTION 55-58


5.12.5.2 Key Click

KEY CLICK can provide an audible beep, which serves as a positive feedback when keys arepressed on the HHDT. The KEY CLICK selection allows the user to turn on or turn off the beepfeedback.

5.12.5.3 Send Selection

Pressing the ENTER key at the SEND selection allows the user to set the default values forCOMM RATE, and the number of STOP BITS when using the SEND menu function.

5.12.5.4 Print Selection

Pressing the ENTER key at the PRINT selection allows the user to set the default values forCOMM RATE, DATA BITS, PARITY, STOP BITS, PAGE WIDTH, and PAGE LENgth for thePRINT menu function.

5.12.5.5 Passwords Function

The PASSWORDS function allows passwords for individual operators as well as for defining thevarious levels of access for each of the HHDT menus. The function also allows the selection ofeither PASSWORD or Security code as the LOGON option for gaining access to SolarFlow Pluswith the HHDT. Security codes are entered during the SETUP LOCATION, SEC CODEselection.

SECTION 5 5-59


Entering/Deleting Passwords: The following is the procedure for entering passwords.

Step "PASSWORDS" Entry Procedure

1 The first selection under PASSWORDS is CUST--PASSWORDS. Pressing ENTER atthe CUST--PASSWORDS ENTER displays the list of passwords already entered in theHHDT. A line of asterisks indicates that no passwords are yet entered in the HHDT.

2 To enter a password, press the INSERT key. The HHDT displays a screen for enteringa password. The password may be up to 10 alphanumeric characters, but the last digitmust be either 0 (zero), 1, or 2. These three final digits dictate which menus areavailable to the user.

Additional passwords may be entered by successively pressing the INSERT key. Oncea list of passwords has been entered into the HHDT, the UP and DOWN arrow keysmay be used to move up and down the list.

To delete old passwords, position the cursor at the password to be removed and press theDELETE key.

5.12.5.6 Selecting Password or Security Code for Logging on to SolarFlow Plus:

Position the cursor at the CUST--LOGON OPT and press ENTER. Position the cursor at eitherPASSWORD or SECURITY CODE. If PASSWORD is selected, when an operator presses enterat LOGON on the main menu, the HHDT bypasses asking for a SECURITY CODE and proceedswith the LOGON sequence. If the ROOT/BASE number for the password is not included in theSEC CODE list under the SETUP LOCATION menu, the HHDT displays ACCESS DENIED.

For example:

Passwords 141 and 142 require that 140 (the ROOT/BASE number for 141 and 142) beincluded in the security code list. 140 is a level-zero security code and is theROOT/BASE number for passwords 141 and 142.

Password 997921 requires that 997920 be included in the security code list. 997920 isa level zero security code and is the ROOT/BASE number for password 997921.

SECTION 55-60


The passwords shown in the table below require the corresponding security codes.

Passwords Security Codes

121 120122 120

4561 45608761 87608762 8760131 130

TLJ1 TLJ0TLJ2 TLJ0

If SECURITY CODE is selected at the CUST--LOGON OPT selection in PASSWORD, theHHDT requests a security code when the HHDT is turned on. If LOGON is selected from themain menu, the HHDT asks for a security code. If the security code entered by the operator isnot in the SEC CODE list under the SETUP LOCATION menu, access is denied.

Each of the menus within the HHDT may be assigned an access level, zero, one, or two. Thezero level is the highest level and two is the lowest. If, for example, the CALIBRATE menu isassigned level one, then only passwords ending with a 0 (zero), or 1 would have access toCALIBRATE. Those with the last digit as 2 will not even see the CALIBRATE menu displayed.

SECTION 5 5-61


5.13 SOLARFLOW PLUS MENU

As discussed in paragraph 5.8.2, the Solarflow Plus menu provides for terminatingcommunications with the SolarFlow Plus (logging off). In addition, the SOLARFLOW PLUSmenu provides access to the following selections: LOGOFF, COLLECT, ERASE, DISPLAY,SETUP LOCATION, SETUP UNIT, CALIBRATE, MONITOR, and ALARM.

5.13.1 LOGOFF SELECTION

The LOGOFF selection of the SOLARFLOW PLUS menu provides for exiting from SolarFlowPlus after completing operations with the HHDT. Exiting from SolarFlow Plus with theLOGOFF selection also clears the communications (COMM) port for immediate access by aremote device. Operation of the menu is the same for both the NOVICE and the EXPERTmodes.

Press ENTER at the LOGOFF selection and the HHDT displays WORKING..., then displays theHHDT menu, which is the same menu displayed when the HHDT is powered up.

LOGONSENDPRINTERASECUSTOMIZE

SECTION 55-62


5.13.2 COLLECT SELECTION

The COLLECT selection on the MAIN menu provides for collecting data or event logs that arestored in the SolarFlow Plus computer.

The following is the procedure for using the COLLECT selection:

Press ENTER at the COLLECT selection of the SOLARFLOW PLUS menu. If the NOVICEuser mode is active, signified by the > cursor symbol, the HHDT starts collecting data in theupdate mode without any further entries. If the EXPERT user mode is active, signified by the-> cursor, the HHDT displays:

COLLECT-----HOW?

UPDATENUMBER OF DAYSALL

5.13.2.1 Update Selection

The UPDATE selection provides for collecting data from SolarFlow Plus to the HHDT in thefollowing manner. If data collection was completed at an earlier time and, at a later time, withthe same or a different HHDT, the COLLECT operation is invoked, only data generated after thelast execution of the COLLECT selection is transferred to the HHDT from SolarFlow Plus.

5.13.2.2 Number of Days Selection

If NUMBER OF DAYS is selected, the HHDT displays 14 (the default number of days to becollected). If the user presses ENTER at the OK? prompt, the HHDT collects 14 days of datafrom SolarFlow Plus. If NO is pressed, the HHDT requests the number of days to be collected.The desired number of days is typed in followed by the ENTER key. The HHDT then asks ifthe value entered is OK?. The HHDT displays WORKING ..... if YES is pressed. Pressing NOresults in a request for the entry of a new number of days. After data collection is complete, theHHDT beeps and the COLLECT-----HOW? menu is displayed. Press the menu key to return tothe main menu.

SECTION 5 5-63


5.13.2.3 All Selection

If ALL is selected, all data in SolarFlow Plus from 01/01/80 to the current Date and Time istransferred to the HHDT.

5.13.3 ERASE SELECTION

The ERASE selection provides for erasing collected data. It performs the same function as theERASE selection in the HHDT menu discussed in paragraph 5.11.4.

5.13.4 DISPLAY SELECTION

The DISPLAY selection provides for displaying SETUP parameters and calculation data.

Step "DISPLAY" Data Procedure

1 Press ENTER at the DISPLAY selection of the SOLARFLOW PLUS menu. The HHDTdisplays WORKING ....., then displays a list of parameters and data that are available inthe application. For example:

DISP------LIST?

INPUTS (Analog inputs to SolarFlow Plus)

SCALES (Low- and high-scale values for the analog inputs)RATES/VOLS (The values of various rates and volumes calculated by the application)CONFIG (SETUP parameters in the application, e.g., ATMS PRES and

PRESBASE)FACTORS (Results of various calculations that relate to the application, e.g., Fb,

Fg, and Fpv)

2 Press ENTER at the desired list. The HHDT displays the parameters included in the listselected. To select another list of parameters or data press the ENTER, ABORT, orMENU keys on the HHDT.

Values shown are updated only once each calculation cycle of the SolarFlow Plus while in the"DISPLAY" menu.

SECTION 55-64


5.13.5 SETUP LOCATION MENU

The SETUP LOCATION submenu is discussed in paragraph 5.10.1.

5.13.6 SETUP UNIT MENU

The SETUP UNIT submenu is discussed in paragraph 5.10.2.

5.13.7 CALIBRATE UNIT MENU

The CALIBRATE UNIT menu is discussed in paragraph 5.11.

5.13.8 MONITOR SELECTION

The MONITOR selection provides for witness testing analog inputs without entering theCALIBRATE UNIT menu. All analog inputs are FIXED at the time MONITOR is entered andUNFIXED at the time MONITOR is exited.

MONITOR is selected by pressing ENTER with the cursor positioned at the selection on theSOLARFLOW PLUS menu. The cursor is then positioned at the analog input channel to bemonitored. Pressing ENTER displays the current live value for the selected input. The inputmay then adjusted to verify that it is functioning properly. Accuracy of the input can be verifiedwith an external input device such as a PK or dead-weight tester. Corrections to DP readingsdue to "LOW BIAS" or "ROSE" adjustments will affect readings while in MONITOR. Forexample, if a DP cell was calibrated using "LOW BIAS", the amount of offset will be shownduring MONITOR since no elevated static pressure is present when using a "PK" tester.

Exiting from the MONITOR mode restores the analog input channels to the lIVE or normalstatus.

5.13.9 ALARM SELECTION

The ALARM selection provides for acknowledging and setting up various alarm conditions inthe SolarFlow Plus application program. If no alarms are defined in the SolarFlow Plusapplication, the HHDT displays this fact when the ENTER key is pressed at the ALARM Menu.If alarms are desired they must be generated using the HCS program and downloaded to theSolarFlow Plus. Any alarms will appear in the event log.

SECTION 5 5-65


Pressing ENTER at SETUP in the ALARMS selection provides for adjusting the LOW (X),HIGH (Y), or ALTernate (Z) limits associated with each alarm. A detailed listing of the alarmsavailable in each application is provided in the application manual.

Example: A typical application may have an alarm for the meter pressure transmitter when itis over a specific value. The code embedded in EPROM for the Pressure alarm would be similarto the following.

C(20)>Y * S(20,F)

Where C(20) is the analog input for static pressure

Y is high limit multiplier

S(20,F) is the full scale value for the analog input static pressure.The factory default value for Y is set to 1.01. If the full scale value for static pressure was setto 1000 PSIG, the alarm would occur whenever the meter pressure was greater than 1010 PSIG.This is determined by placing the known parameters into the above alarm as follows:

C(20) > 1.01 * 1000 equals 1010

If meter pressure on channel 20 is greater that 1010 PSIG the alarm will occur.

The user may adjust the multiplier HIGH limit multiplier "Y" using the ALARMS menu of theHHDT. The ALARMS menu label for "Y" is "HIGH". The user would enter the ALARMSmenu and select the SETUP sub-menu and select the alarm of interest, e.g. METR PRES. Uponentry into METR PRES the HHDT will display four options STAT, LOW, HIGH, and ALT. Theuser would select HIGH and change the value displayed to the one desired. If for example theuser wanted the alarm to occur at 600 PSIG, the HIGH value would be changed to .6 because.6 * 1000 equals 600.

SECTION 55-66


5-14 ENHANCED SOFTWARE MISCELLANEOUS CONDITION BITS

The following information applies only to the SolarFlow Plus using Enhanced software.

The Misc. column of a data log printout indicates system conditions that occurred or were presentduring the log interval by replacing a dot with a number that identifies a specified condition.These numbers represent a designated system condition regardless of the ALARM setup in theSolarFlow Plus menu. These condition bits cannot be activated, deactivated, or acknowledged.They will appear on the SolarFlow Plus data log. The Channel 30 system alarm (SYS ERROR)equals these miscellaneous bits converted to decimal representation if they occur. An exceptionis that a cold start will not cause a SYS ERROR occurrence caused only by a cold start. Notethat normally Channel 30 is 0.0. The Enhanced software data log will show the Misc. dots asfollows:

Date Time METR TEMP METR PRES DIFF PRES TODAY VOLU-Range O-Range Misc.

MM/DD/YY HH:MM xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx........ ........ ........

The enhanced version of these miscellaneous bits is as follows:

Dot No. System Conditions Weight in CH 30

8 System Failure 1.07 Cold Start 2.06 Warm Start 4.05 Designates Daily Log 8.04 Chromatograph Communications Failure 16.03 Reserved 32.02 Floating Point Error 64.01 Reserved 128.0

Any condition that occurs will be shown in Channel 30 as a decimal number. For example ifdot No. 2 (Floating Point Error) had occurred, the binary number would be converted to decimal64.0. This number would be < > 0.0 and it would be seen in Channel 30 (SYS ERROR) as thedecimal number. Counting the dots from left to right, it would show in the data log as decimal2 in the second position under Misc.

6.4 DATA LOG STORAGE CAPACITY

A SolarFlow Plus computer has a capacity for storing approximately 30,000 characters of datalog information. Theenhancedversion of SolarFlow Plus software can store approximately45000 characters of data log information. The total number of data log entries that can be storedin the memory available depends on the number of entries in each log and the number of digitsin each data log entry.

The total amount of data that can be collected can be approximated using the followingcalculation. This is onlyan approximation.

1. Using the following equation, calculate the number of bytes required to store eachentry in the log.

Memory requirement for each entry item = 1 + DIGITS/2

Where DIGITS is the number of digits logged in the item.

2. Total the number of bytes required for all entries in the log.

3. Add the data log overhead requirement of 6 bytes. The total is the approximatetotal memory required for the data log.

Example:

A typical SolarFlow Plus data log includes the following items in the default data log list.


METR PRES1 6 1 + (6/2) 4DIFF PRES1 4 1 + (4/2) 3METR TEMP 4 1 + (4/2) 3METR PRES2 6 1 + (6/2) 4DIFF PRES2 4 1 + (4/2) 3VOL LOG 1 6 1 + (6/2) 4VOL LOG 2 6 1 + (6/2) 4TODAY VOL 8 1 + (8/2) 5YSDAY VOL 8 1 + (8/2) 5

Total approximate memory requirement for the log 41 Bytes

SECTION 66-6


4. Divide 30,000 Bytes (available for data collection) by 41 Bytes per data log, whichgives a storage capacity for approximately 732 data log entries.

If you are using theenhancedSolarFlow Plus software, divide 45,000 Bytes by 41Bytes per data log, which gives a storage capacity for approximately 1097 data logentries.

5. If the SolarFlow Plus computer is logging at hourly intervals, the HHDT can collect30.5 days (732/24 hours per day) of hourly data. If the SolarFlow Plus computeris logging at 24-hour intervals, the unit has the capacity to store data forapproximately 732 days. If the unit is logging at 5-minute intervals, it can storedata for approximately 2.5 days (732/288).

If a SolarFlow Plus computer withenhancedsoftware is logging at hourly intervals,the HHDT can collect approximately 45.7 days (1097/24 hours per day) of hourlydata. Using a similar division, an approximation can be determined for 24-hourintervals or 5-minute intervals.

By modifying the items included in the data log, the number of log entries can be increased ordecreased. For example, if the data log listing shown previously is modified as shown below,the capacity for storing daily data is also changed.


METR PRES1 6 1 + (6/2) 4DIFF PRES1 4 1 + (4/2) 3METR TEMP 4 1 + (4/2) 3VOL LOG 1 6 1 + (6/2) 4TODAY VOL 8 1 + (8/2) 5YSDAY VOL 8 1 + (8/2) 5

Subtotal 24 BytesData log overhead requirement 6

Total approximate memory requirement for the log 30 Bytes

SECTION 6 6-7


1. Divide 30,000 Bytes (available for data collection) by 30 Bytes per data log, whichgives a storage capacity for approximately 1000 data log entries.

2. If the SolarFlow Plus computer is logging at hourly intervals, the HHDT can collect41.6 days (1000/24 hours per day) of hourly data. If the SolarFlow Plus computeris logging at 24-hour intervals, the unit has the capacity to store data forapproximately 1000 days. If the unit is logging at 5-minute intervals, it can storedata for approximately 3.5 days (1000/288).

3. Using the figures available for theenhancedsoftware, storage capabilities can bedetermined for the enhanced software units. Dividing 45000 Bytes by 30 Bytes perdata log, the HHDT can collect 62.5 days (1500 divided by 24 hours per day) ofhourly data. Using this estimation, storage capabilities can be approximatelydetermined for other logging intervals.

If you still have a problem after performing these analyses and checks, the Daniel CustomerService Department may be contacted for assistance at the phone number listed in the CustomerProblem Report. Be prepared with this information:

Your name and telephone No.Company name and geographical locationUnit Model and Serial Number (S/N)Software type and revision (REV) number (Obtain from EPROMS- locations are

described in paragraphs 7.8.2 and 7.9.2.)Specify system configuration, nature of problem, any actions you have taken to solvethe problem.

7.2 PROBLEM DIAGNOSIS

The following is a fault, isolation and corrective action guide for some problems you mayencounter. This assumes the unit is installed and ready for start-up or had been commissionedas operational at some previous point in time and is now reported as having a problem.

SECTION 7 7-1


First, review the Installation Procedure in Section 2 to ensure nothing has been overlooked.

7.2.1 REQUIRED TEST EQUIPMENT

- Digital Volt Meter- Static Pressure Deadweight Tester- Temperature Calibration Module- Hand Held Data Terminal- Differential Pressure PK Tester

7.2.2 TEST PROCEDURE

7.2.2.1. Check the SolarFlow Plus front panel display for proper display information for theassigned items in your "User or Channel 0 Report".

Symptoms/Corrective Action:

a. Blank display and/or unable to log on with Hand Held Data Terminal.

- Check that all wiring connections made during installation apply to your specificapplication.

- Check ribbon cable connections on the main and display PCB Assemblies. Makesure all connectors are seated firmly.

- Perform test on power system, paragraph 7.3.- Measure transmitter power supply at pin 21 on the rear termination board. The

value should be 9.0 ±0.5 VDC.- Measure power supply -9 VDC at U28* pin 5 on the main PCB assembly.

Should read -8.0 to -10.5 VDC.- Measure power supply +5 VDC at U15* pin 1 of the main PCB assembly.

should read 4.75 to 5.25 VDC.

b. Display is scrolling and shows incorrect transmitter input values.

- Check wiring connections.- Perform transmitter tests, paragraph 7.4

* On PCB 3-2470-008, U28 is U35; U15 is U36. Values are identical.

SECTION 77-2


c. Display is scrolling and shows incorrect flow calculation values.

- Using Hand Held Data Terminal, access the SolarFlowPlus and verify programmed parameters under "Set upUnit" menu.

- Check transmitter values, if incorrect performtransmitter test, paragraph 7.4.

d. Display indicates error codes (ERROR 0; 1)

- Check communications link

If any of the above fails to correct problems, replace the computer PCB assembly.

7.2.2.2 Check the Hand Held Data Terminal for proper operation. Access the SolarFlow Pluscomputer using the "Log On" function. Check the "Set Up Location" and "Set Up Unit" menusfor proper data entries.

Symptoms/Corrective Actions:

a. Unable to access SolarFlow Plus with Hand Held Data Terminal reports "Access Denied".

- Verify Hand Held Data Terminal will work with other systems. If not, replaceHHDT cable then Hand Held Data Terminal to determine faulty device.

- Check wiring connections made on the termination board assembly.- Perform test on power system, paragraph 7.3.- Replace PCB assembly.

7.2.2.3 Check transmitter calibration to ensure proper operation. Perform standard calibrationprocedure as indicated in System Reference Manual, paragraph 5.11, "Calibrate Menu". Duringcalibration the values read back should be relatively close to the applied values. If the deviationbetween "actual" and "expected" values is less than 25 percent, SolarFlow Plus will accept thecalibration.

During pressure calibrations, ensure there are no leaks in connections. This will certainlyinduce calibration errors.

SECTION 7 7-3


Symptoms/Corrective Actions:

a. If live values are incorrect after calibration.

- Verify there were no pressure leaks during calibration.- Check piping for proper hookup.- Check wiring connections point to point between transmitters and SolarFlow Plus

computer.- Perform transmitter tests, paragraph 7.4- Replace PCB assembly.

7.3 BATTERY PACK/SOLAR PANEL TEST

7.3.1 TEST EQUIPMENT REQUIRED

1. 12/6 volt battery charger with 60 amp capacity (Dayton Model 3Z632).2. Digital volt meter, Beckman Model 3020 or equivalent.

7.3.2 BATTERY TEST PROCEDURE

a. Visually inspect wiring and check with DVM to make sure polarities are correct. Redwire is positive; black wire is negative from the battery to the SolarFlow Plus.Collect all Data and Event logs before disconnecting the battery. If the battery mustbe charged, remove the battery from the hazardous area.

b. Measured battery open circuit voltage (OCV) should exceed 12.66 volts. Disconnectthe battery at the Power Switch Module (if used) in the SolarFlow Plus and at theconnector on the Solar Panel. When the Power Switch Module is not used,disconnect the battery at power connector (J1) at the top of the connector panel inthe SolarFlow Plus and at the connector on the Solar Panel. Measure the voltageacross the red and black wires fromthe battery to the SolarFlow Plus. If the batteriesbeing measured have not been charged or discharged in the past 24 hours, the OCVreading may be used to determine the state of charge. See the following graph todetermine time (in days) required to recharge a battery to above 80% capacity. IfOCV is 12.66 VDC or more, battery pack may be used "as is"; otherwise, follow thecharging procedure contained in paragraph 7.3.3.

SECTION 77-4


NOTES: 1. This graph is accurate only if battery is at open circuit voltage, that is if it has notbeen charged or discharged in 48 hours.

2. Voltages must be corrected for temperature @ -18mV (0.018V) per degree Cabove 25oC. (Example: V = 12.35, T = 28oC.Vcorrected= 12.35 - (3 * .018) = 12.30 SOC = 50%).

SECTION 7 7-5


7.3.3 BATTERY CHARGING PROCEDURE

These assemblies may be charged either constant voltage or constant current. The process ofcharging an automotive lead-acid battery from an automotive type charger would be consideredconstant voltage where the charge current slowly decreases as the battery voltage levelapproaches the peak voltage of the charger. This is the recommended procedure for charging theSolarFlow Plus batteries. A one week charge period would not seriously affect the battery life.Therefore, any batteries with an OCV reading of less than 12.66 V should be charged using theDayton Model 3Z632 charger and adapter cables plugged into the "SolarFlow Plus" cable on thebattery pack. Set the charger to the 12V/MEDIUMsetting and charge per chart.

a. Connect the positive lead of the battery charger to the red wire output from thebattery to the SolarFlow Plus. Connect the negative lead of the battery charger to theblack wire from the battery to the SolarFlow Plus. When charging is complete,re-connect battery to the Solar Panel and to the SolarFlow Plus.

Most batteries should only require one or two days of recharge time. However, all rechargedbatteries must have a final OCV reading of at least 12.66 V after a 24-hour period when batteryis not being charged or discharged into a load. If battery reading does not exceed 12.66 V,repeat charging procedure. Refer to the chart on the previous page for approximate time versuscharge data.

7.3.4 SOLAR PANEL TEST PROCEDURE

The output of the solar panel is dependent on the amount of ambient light and temperature at thetime measurements are made. Typically, one could expect these readings during direct sunlight(no shading) between the hours of 9 A.M. and 3 P.M. Disconnect the solar panel from thebattery pack. Measure the output voltage, the Red lead is positive and the Black lead is negative.

Voltage check, open circuit voltage at temperatures between 70 degrees F and 86 degrees F:

Low = 14.25 VDCHigh = 15.75 VDC

Current check, set DVM to 2 amp. range and measure across terminals approximately 1 to 1.3amps.

If any readings fail to meet the above, the panel should be replaced or consult Daniel CustomerService. Check all connections for proper fit and polarity.

SECTION 77-6


7.3.5 CURRENT CONSUMPTION TEST PROCEDURE

SolarFlow Plus uses approximately 100 milliamperes of current from the battery during the timeit is active. When there are external devices such transmitters, the HHDT, or modems drawingpower from the battery, the current consumed may be measured in the range from100 to 160 mA. To measure this consumption, proceed as follows:

a. Collect all needed Data and Event Log information.

b. Disconnect the battery voltage red lead at J1 on the Termination Board or at the PowerSwitch Module connector. Leave the black wire connected as it is.

c. Connect an Ammeter between the red (positive) wire and the terminal where you justremoved the red wire.

d. Measure the current used by the SolarFlow Plus at this time. It should read approximately100 to 160 mA., depending on how many external devices are in operation (drawingpower).

e. If you have current drain higher than 160 mA., check the external devices such as theradio interface, transmitters, etc.

f. Re-connect the battery (power) wire removed in Step b.

SECTION 7 7-7


7.4 TRANSMITTER TEST/CHECK LIST

7.4.1 STATIC AND DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE TRANSMITTER TEST

a. Determine the calibrated range of the transmitter.Example: 0-100" wc = 1-5 VDC.

b. Remove the covers from the "terminal side" of the transmitter and note the followingterminal arrangement.

c. Using DVM, measure power supply voltage 9.0 ±0.5 VDC across terminals labeledpower (positive) and common (negative). If not correct, check field wiring forpossible shorting in this circuit. Refer to field wiring drawings in operators manual.

Figure 7-1. Rosemount Model 1151 Transmitter

SECTION 77-8


d. Remove transmitter from service using manifold valves and connect portable pressuretester (PK, Deadweight or test gauge).

e. Connect DVM to terminals labeled signal (positive) and common (negative). For thepressures indicated the DVM should reflect the corresponding example voltagereadings.

Zero Pressure = 1.00 VDCMidscale Pressure = 3.00 VDC (midscale)Full Scale Pressure = 5.00 VDC

The above voltage values are not to be taken as an absolute value in that the calibration methodused by SolarFlow Plus is very forgiving. The important thing to remember is these points mustbe linear. In other words, the midscale readings should be at middle of span ±0.01 VDC. Tocalculate the midscale reading:

Full Scale Reading - Zero Reading + Zero Reading2

7.4.2 MODEL 444 TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER TEST

Figure 7-2. Rosemount Model 444 Temperature Transmitter

SECTION 7 7-9


a. Determine the calibrated range of the transmitter.Example: 0-150o = 1-5 VDC.

b. Remove the cover from the "Terminal Side" of the transmitter and note the followingterminal arrangement. Also note inside cover diagram.

c. Use the DVM to measure power supply voltage 9.0 ±0.5 VDC across terminalslabeled power + (positive) and common (negative). If not correct, check the fieldwiring for possible shorting in this circuit. Refer to the field wiring diagram inAppendix D.

d. Remove both white wires from the left hand terminal strip. Attach in place of theremoved white wires the two black wires on the temperature calibration module.Attach the 32oF wire to either red-wired terminal. Use the DVM to measure theoutput signal across terminals output + (positive) and common (negative). For acalibrated range of 0-150oF the output should read approximately 1.85 VDC. Removethe 32oF wire and attach the 100o wire to either red-wired terminal. The output shouldnow read approximately 3.67 VDC.

Corrective Action: Try to calibrate with the procedure in paragraph 5.11.7.2. If voltage valuesvary drastically, replace the transmitter.

e. If all checks are okay to this point, remove the temperature calibration module andreconnect the white wires. Ensure all terminals are tight. Obtain a live temperaturereading from another source and perform the following calculation:

Example: Line Temperature Reading = 76oF

76 (line temperature)* 4 + 1 = 3.03 VDC (approximately)150 (span)

Corrective Action: Replace probe.

SECTION 77-10


7.4.3 MODEL 417 TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER TEST

The calibration procedure described in paragraph 5.11.7.1 should be performed before this test.Note that the temperature probe and this transmitter are coupled together as a "matched pair"from the factory. If either one needs to be replaced, refer to the Model 417 Manual, Daniel PartNo. 3-9000-017 for the calibration procedure. To check this transmitter while it is still in theSolarFlow Plus, the "flowing temperature" should be fixed. The following test equipment isrequired:

Digital Voltmeter (DVM)-- Fluke Model 8600A or equivalentModel 417 Calibration Module -- Daniel Part No. 3-0417-220 (furnished when the Model 417

is included with the SolarFlow Plus)

Figure 7-3. Model 417 Temperature Transmitter

SECTION 7 7-11


Proceed as follows:

a. Open the unit by unscrewing the cover of the Model 417.

b. Connect the positive probe of the DVM on TB2-4 and the negative probe to ground.You should read 8 to 10 VDC. If not, check the system power supply.

c. Disconnect the two white leads from terminals TB1-1 and TB1-2 at the top of the PCBoard. Refer to Figure 7-3.

d. Connect the 417 Calibration Module to terminals TB1-1 and TB1-2. Polarity makesno difference. Connect the blue and black leads from the 417 Calibration Monitor.

e. Connect the Digital Voltmeter (DVM) positive probe to terminal TB2-3 and thenegative probe to terminal TB2-5.

f. The voltage should read 1.0000 ±0.0002 VDC.

g. Remove the blue lead of the 417 Calibration Module and replace it with the red lead.

h. Connect the positive probe of the DVM on TB2-3 and the negative probe on TB2-5.You should read 5.000 ±0.0002 VDC.

i. If readings are correct, the transmitter should be good. Re-connect the temperatureprobe (white wires), and screw on the cover.

j. Monitor the "live" temperature reading from the Hand Held Data Terminal (HHDT)or a computer printout for a short time period. If the temperature readings showanomalies, replace the temperature probe and Model 417 Temperature Transmitterwith a known good unit and ship the faulty one back to the factory for repair.

7.5 ALARMS AND ERROR CODE DEFINITIONS

7.5.1 SOLARFLOW PLUS ALARMS

Standard SolarFlow Plus applications include a series of alarms that are activated if a parameteris outside a specific operating range.

SECTION 77-12


The application manual for a SolarFlow Plus lists the various alarms for the application alongwith an example of how the user may modify the alarm limits. Typically high and low limitsare placed on each of the analog inputs as well as on some of the calculated parameters such asflow rate and total corrected volume.

In addition, a system error alarm (SYS ERROR) is included in the list. The SYS ERROR alarmindicates that the SolarFlow Plus may have an abnormal condition or that a warm start of thecomputer occurred. Refer to paragraph 5.12.3.3 for information regarding condition bits on theData Log or paragraph 5.14 if using Enhanced software. The user should not modify LOW orHIGH limits for the SYS ERROR alarm condition. On initial startup of a computer with batterybacked-up RAM, the SYS ERROR alarm appears on the display of the computer. This is anormal occurrence with a battery-backed RAM. When using the Enhanced software, a cold startdoes notproduce a SYS ERROR (Channel 30). The user acknowledges this or any other alarmusing the HHDT ALARM menu. If the SYS ERROR alarm returns after it has beenacknowledged, a fault condition truly exists and corrective action is necessary. If a true SYSERROR alarm does occur, verify that all cables and connectors are properly seated. If thecondition persists contact Daniel Customer Service for assistance.

In addition to acknowledging an alarm condition, the user may enable or disable any of the alarmconditions installed in the computer using the HHDT ALARM menu. The list of alarmconditions are shared by multiple applications and in some applications an alarm included on thelist may not be valid for an application. For example, the AGA-3 single meter run applicationsshow alarms for a nonexistent meter tube number 2 in the list. The user must disable thesealarms for meter tube 2, (METR PRES2 and DIFF PRES2), by changing the status (STAT)setting for these alarms to OFF.

7.5.2 HAND HELD DATA TERMINAL ERROR CONDITIONS

The HHDT also includes error checking routines. When a problem occurs, the HHDT displayprovides a message relating to the error condition. When this occurs, it indicates that the HHDTis not communicating properly with SolarFlow Plus or that an internal problem exists withHHDT. Contact Daniel Customer Service for assistance regarding HHDT errors.

SECTION 7 7-13


7.5.3 REMOTE COMMUNICATION ERROR CONDITIONS

If SolarFlow Plus is equipped with the capability of communicating with external PC-basedcommunications programs such as HCS, a series of error conditions are available. The followingerror codes apply to the terminal access or voice mode of HCS.

ErrorNumber Definition

0 The location computer at the SolarFlow Plus site cannot communicate with therequested unit computer at the SolarFlow Plus site. See paragraph 7.2.2.1 d.

1 The location computer at the SolarFlow Plus site communicated with the Unitcomputer at the SolarFlow Plus site but an error in communications occurred. Seeparagraph 7.2.2.1 d.

2 An invalid channel assignment number was used for request for information. Retrywith correct channel number.

3 An invalid entry from the terminal access mode was detected. Retry. (Try HELPmode.)

7.6 COLD START PROCEDURE - BATTERY BACKED RAM MODEL 2470

The random access memory (RAM) of the Model 2470 is equipped with a battery back-up asstandard. No data stored in the Model 2470 RAM is lost in the event of a a power failure. Thisincludes Data and Event logs as well as all of the set-up parameters that have been loaded intothe unit either by the HHDT or by using external communications programs. If the user desiresto erase RAM and have the SolarFlow Plus use the default parameters embedded in theEPROM(s) of the unit, the following procedure may be used.

At the end of the initialization routine, theHHDT displays various interactive messages that serve as prompts to the operator.

7.10 ANNUAL MAINTENANCE

The SolarFlow Plus units are shipped with three bags of desiccant hanging inside the unit anda corrosion inhibitor stuck on an inside wall. The desiccant bags will reduce the moisturecontents inside the case for approximately a year under normal conditions. When thesedesiccant bags swell up and become hard, they should be replaced. The corrosion inhibitor isincluded in a sponge that exudes an invisible non-toxic vapor that inhibits rust and corrosion.This corrosion inhibitor will also last approximately a year under normal circumstances. Replaceit at that time. When replacing either the desiccant or the corrosion inhibitor, be sure to writedown the date replaced on tag or card.

7.10.1 DOOR LATCH ADJUSTMENT

The latch is factory installed and adjusted to apply the proper pressure to the door to perform awatertight and moisture-proof seal. The door latch should not require any adjustment underordinary circumstances. If the dessicant bags require changing more often than approximatelyonce a year, then the door latch and seal should be checked for possible moisture entry. A blockof metal measuring exactly 1.030" should be placed between the detent and and the door panel.Adjust the nuts on the detent so that the detent fits snugly on the block.

APPENDIX A

OPTIONAL SOFTWARE PROGRAMS FOR DATA ACCESSFROM EITHER THE SOLARFLOW PLUS COMPUTER OR THE HHDT

Various software programs are available that provide specialized ways to access data from eitherthe SolarFlow Plus computer or the Hand Held Data Terminal. Brief descriptions of theseprograms are provided in this appendix. More detailed information is available from DanielIndustries, Inc.

A.1 SFDC PROGRAM

The SFDC Program transfers SolarFlow Plus data logs and event logs between an HHDT and anIBM personal computer (PC) or a computer compatible with the IBM PC.

The SFDC Program supports either remote transmission of data over telephone lines usingstandard modems, or local transmission using a cable between the HHDT (equipped with an MSIPDT-RS RS-232 Module) and a PC. The program supports either the COM1 or COM2communications ports or both ports. Baud rate (up to 9600) and the mode of operation (eitherconnected directly or using modems) can be selected individually for each port.

In addition to transferring SolarFlow Plus logs from an HHDT to a PC, the SFDC program alsoprovides for:

- Creating a data base in the PC from which individual logs can be displayed or printedsequentially

- Creating monthly summaries of SolarFlow Plus logs

- Displaying or printing summarized information

- Creating ASCII sequential output files for transferring information in the data base toother programs or to mainframe computers

The SFDC Program is easy to use and requires a minimum amount of time to learn. Theprogram presents a series of menus and display screens arranged in a hierarchical sequence.Selections are made from the menus and screens with the function keys.

APPENDIX A A-1


A.2 HOST COMMUNICATIONS SOFTWARE (HCS PROGRAM)

The Host Communications Software (HCS) program is an IBM-PC based package that providesseveral ways to access the SolarFlow Plus in order to gain access to the data generated by thesystem. HCS provides for:

- Retrieval of data logs generated by SolarFlow Plus

- Retrieval of event logs generated by SolarFlow Plus

- Data base capability for storage, display, and printing of thevarious logs retrieved fromSolarFlow Plus

- Modification of default parameters associated with aspecific SolarFlow Plus application

- Downloading a modified application program to a SolarFlowPlus computer

The HCS program can collect data over telephone lines from up to ten SolarFlow Plus locations.HCS runs on an IBM or compatible PC and requires operator interaction to collect the data.

A.3 SOLARFLOW PLUS/MODEL 2251 GAS CHROMATOGRAPH CONTROLLERDATA ACQUISITION SYSTEM (SFDAS)

The SolarFlow Plus/Model 2251 Gas Chromatograph Controller Data Acquisition System(SFDAS) software package provides for gaining access to SolarFlow Plus and Model 2251 GasChromatograph Controller data. SFDAS provides for:

- Retrieval of data Logs generated by SolarFlow Plus

- Retrieval of event Logs generated by SolarFlow Plus

- Database capability for storage, display, and printing of data and event logs retrievedfrom SolarFlow Plus

- Retrieval of 24-hour averages and active alarms from the Model 2251 Gas ChromatographController

APPENDIX AA-2


- Database capability for storage, display, and printing of 24-hour average data and alarmsretrieved from the Model 2251 Gas Chromatograph Controller

The SFDAS program can be configured to retrieve data from up to 100 SolarFlow Pluscomputers and/or Model 2251 G.C.C. units over telephone lines at 300 baud with standardmodems at field sites. Higher baud rates may be obtained. Consult Daniel Industries, Inc. TheSFDAS program dials each SolarFlow Plus computer at a predetermined time using a Hayes (orcompatible) modem capable of 300-baud communications. The program provides three ways ofcommunicating with SolarFlow Plus instruments: updating specified logs; retrieving alldata/event logs; and retrieving logs for specified days.

The SFDAS program includes a menu that allows the user to enter the phone number of theselected location and other parameters. The SFDAS system supports the Hayes Smartmodemprotocol. If a Hayes modem is connected to the PC, the SFDAS automatically places a telephonecall to the selected location at the time (or times) defined.

A.4 SOLARFLOW PLUS ACCESS (SFAccess)

SolarFlow Plus Access (SFAccess) is a program designed to access the SolarFlow Plus flowcomputers from a Personal Computer, IBM PC XT/AT or 100 percent compatible. This program(Daniel Part No.3-2470-040) emulates the capabilities of the Hand Held Data Terminal (HHDT)but with the conveniences of the screen and keyboard of a Personal Computer (PC). TheSFAccess program enables an operator to perform the following functions:

- Set up a SolarFlow Plus in the field- Change application parameters in a SolarFlow Plus- Calibrate or Monitor Analog Inputs- Customize a SolarFlow Plus- Collect data from a SolarFlow Plus- Erase data and event logs- Print SolarFlow Plus data and event logs- View graphs of data logs- Create ASCII export files for use by other programs
