7 HP-306 3. THEORY OF OPERATION The HIT-2A consists of six functional blocks. These functional blocks are the User Interface, Preamplifier, Microcontroller, Loop Driver, Pulse and Alarm Output, and Communications Interface. 3-1 Functional Blocks 3-1-1 User Interface The User Interface consists of a custom LCD display with 4 push buttons; OK, P, > (right arrow), and ^ (up arrow) and an optional external reset. Using the buttons and the displayed information, the user can enter setup parameters (rate units, pulses per unit of flow, etc.) as well as setup information for the pulse output and 4- 20mA output. The optional external reset maybe used to reset the accumulated total to zero and clear the displayed accumulated total. 3-1-2 Preamplifier The Preamplifier accepts the input from the flowmeter. The Preamplifier applies amplification, low-pass filtering, and wave- shaping to the input signal. The wave shaping function converts the signal into a square-wave before sending it to the Microcontroller. 3-1-3 Microcontroller The Microcontroller accepts the square-wave output of the preamplifier and performs all of the calculations that are required to control the Loop Driver. After measuring the frequency of the Flowmeter Input Microcontroller Loop Driver 4-20 mA Pulse Output Communications Interface User Interface RS232 Preamp Opto-isolated Outputs Alarm Output IRDA

8 HP-306 square-wave, the Microcontroller uses the following equations to compute the flow rate and current. Where: Kfactor = Is dependent on the Flow Calculation Method setting and is either the Average K-Factor or the Linearized K-Factor from the Frequency / K-Factor table. FM = Is the Flow rate Units setting of 0, 1, 2 or 3. Where “0” is for Seconds, “1” is for Minutes, “2” is for Hours and “3” is for days. CF = Is the Correction Factor setting. Where: AF = is the 20 mA maximum Flow Rate value. If the calculated flowrate is greater than the AF setting, the current will be set to 24mA to signal an “Over-range” condition. After calculating the current, the Microcontroller digitally sends the current information to the Loop Driver. 3-1-4 Loop Driver The loop driver uses the digital information received from the Microcontroller to set the current of the loop. The Loop Driver supplies power to both the Preamplifier and Microcontroller. 3-1-5 Pulse and Alarm Output The Pulse and Alarm outputs are two optically isolated open collector outputs. The alarm output activates when the total flow or the rate reaches a user defined level. The pulse output activates to give a scaled pulse output indicative of the total flow. Both of these outputs are rated for 100 VDC at 100 mA. xCF x Kfactor frequency flowrate 60FM        AF mAx flowrate mA current 16 4

9 HP-306 3-1-6 Communications Interface The communication is provided through a RS232C interface to the Microcontroller. The external terminal device provides the power for the RS232 interface. The Communications Interface is used to configure and trouble-shoot the device. 3-1-7 Clearing Total The Total amount stored in HIT-2A memory can be cleared from the front panel program menu, by external momentary switch wired to the reset input, or by external magnet. The magnet has to be brought close to top of the front panel. 3-2 System Response Time The displayed Rate and Total are updated every two (2) seconds. The analog output response time to reach steady state due to a change in the flow rate is also approximately two (2) seconds. When flow stops, the time for the analog output to return to 4 mA will be between 3 and 12 seconds, depending on the Maximum Sample Time (MST) setting. MST is adjusted using the NB= (DATA) command, where NB is a value between 1 and 80. The default MST setting is NB= 1. Adjusting the MST is only recommended for low flow applications where the minimum input frequency is below 1 Hz.

from most frequency or pulse producing flowmeters. The input will interface directly to:  Turbine Flowmeters  Reed Switches  Logic Signals  Open Collector Outputs The input is protected for over voltage up to 50 volts. The flowmeter input (terminals 1 & 2) must be configured for the selected signal type by appropriately setting the input selection jumpers found on the HIT-2A signal input board (see following for jumper positions). 4-1 Typical Input Connections MAG Coil & Reed Switch Pickups

When the instrument is purchased with a Hoffer Flowmeter or when calibration and configuration data are supplied, the instrument is configured as specified. When the instrument is shipped without specific configuration information, the instrument is configured with default values. Refer to Appendix A for a listing of the HIT-2A factory default configuration. 5-3 Remote Configuration The HIT-2A may be configured remotely via the RS232 communications interface. Refer to Appendix B for the communications details.

23 HP-306 6. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE 6-1 Operation A suitable pulse producing device or flow meter is wired to the HIT-2A Signal Input terminals 1 (Sig +) and 2 (Sig -). The Signal Input circuit must be configured for the connected input device using the appropriate jumper blocks. Internal batteries, external DC, or a loop current may provide power to the unit. For all power options other than internal batteries (A), if the primary power is lost, the internal backup battery will provide for continued operation of the totalizer. Once properly wired, the operation of the HIT-2A is automatic. The flow totalizer is updated every 2 seconds* with the latest total. If no input counts are received the unit remains in a low power state to conserve power. The flow total may be cleared by the front panel switch sequence or by a contact closure on the remote reset terminal to circuit common. To reset the unit from the front panel, the following key sequence is required: Press P CLEArtot is displayed Press OK To enter edit mode. Press ▲ To select yes Press OK To clear total Press ▲ To return to operating mode The flow rate indicator measures the flow rate once every 2 seconds* and display the flow rate. If the input pulses are not detected within the maximum sample time (1 to 80 seconds), a flow rate of zero (0.00) is indicated. The analog output is scaled based on the user selected zero and full scale and the measured flow rate. The pulse output generates a burst of pulses every 2 seconds* in accordance with the instrument setup of pulse scaling. * A large sample time setting and internal math operations may delay the update rate.

24 HP-306 6-2 Maintenance The only scheduled maintenance for the HIT-2A is periodic battery replacement. The instrument has a battery monitor feature which illuminates when the lithium battery voltage approaches its end of life. A descriptor, “LO BAT”, illuminates when the battery voltage falls below this predetermined value. The low battery detector operates correctly with all power options. The battery, or batteries, should be replaced within several weeks of the first occurrence of low battery warning. Left unattended, the unit may become inaccurate, cease to operate, lose setup information, or malfunction. The batteries should be replaced one at a time to avoid interrupting the power. 6-3 Error Messages The HIT-2A is provided with extensive self checking which is used in reporting malfunctions or unusual operating conditions. When an error occurs, the display will flash with an error message until the user presses the OK button acknowledging the error condition. Once an error condition is acknowledged, the error message will not be displayed again for 60 seconds if the cause of the error is still present. If the alarm output is active from an alarm caused by a rate or total condition, depressing the OK button while the display is showing the rate and total will reset the alarm output if the condition that caused the alarm is no longer present. If the alarm output is active because of a test command, depressing the OK button will not reset the alarm output. The following table illustrates the Error Messages, the problem or cause, and a recommended corrective action:

25 HP-306 ERROR MESSAGE CAUSE CORRECTIVE ACTION EtotAL Total rollover. None EPuLSE Pulse out overflow. Use different pulse scaler or lower totalizer decimal point EErES EEPROM reset to factory defaults. Consult factory ErAtE Flow rate exceeds the flow rate display capability. Reduce flow rate or use lower flow rate decimal point EFLo Flow rate exceeds the 20 mA flow rate setting. Reduce flow rate or increase 20 mA flow rate setting LO BAT Low battery. Replace battery(ies) 6-4 Analog Output Calibration The 4-20 mA analog output has been accurately set to 20.000 mA by the factory. No adjustment is required. The 4-20 mA output may be verified periodically by installing a digital milliamp meter in series with the analog output and simulating a full scale or over range flow rate.

29 HP-306 APPENDIX B - COMMUNICATIONS Message Format And Timeout Communication messages consist of a string of ASCII characters terminated by a carriage return character. The maximum message length coming to the HIT-2A is 20 characters, including the carriage return. The HIT-2A will transmit no more than 35 characters before transmitting a carriage return. If a message longer than A 20 characters command is sent, the instrument responds with “Command Sequence is Too Long!” If an unrecognized or invalid command is sent, the instrument responds with “Invalid Command! ” The sending unit RS232C serial port configuration must be configured as follows: Baud rate: 2400 Data bits: 8 Parity: none Stop bits: 1 Handshaking: none The HIT-2A echoes all received messages and then transmits a response string terminated with a carriage return. If the sending unit takes longer than one minute to send a message, the HIT-2A aborts the message by clearing the receive buffer. If the sending unit (PC or other such device) wishes to change a setting on the HIT-2A, the sending unit shall follow the command with an equal sign (“=”) with the data following immediately after the equal sign. The carriage return terminates the message. Any HIT-2A response that sends data back to the sending unit shall have an equal sign (“=”) followed by the data. Space is allowed between the equal sign and the data on the return message, but the total message length is limited to 35 characters.

30 HP-306 READ Example: If the sending unit wishes to read the number of points that the HIT-2A has in the K factor table, the sending unit shall send “NP” The HIT-2A echoes the sent message, and responds with “NUM PTS = 2” WRITE Example: If the sending unit wishes to change the number of points to 20 in the K factor table, the sending unit shall send “NP=20” The HIT-2A echoes the sent message and responds with “NUM PTS = 20”. The HIT-2A checks the ranges for data and rejects writes that are not within the allowed range. If the sending unit sends data that is not within the allowed range, the HIT-2A echoes the sent message and responds with the value that is currently stored in the HIT-2A. Example: If the sending unit wishes to change the max sample time to 2000 from the previous setting of 10, the sending unit shall send “NB=2000” The HIT-2A echoes the sent message, and responds with “MAX M TIME= 10”.

CN Adjust 4mA output point “CN=#(DATA)” (DATA) is the integer value that the HIT-2A sends to the 4-20mA converter to output 4mA This parameter is passed to the HIT-2A to adjust the 4mA output point of the device. This value is used in production at the test step to calibrate the 4mA output point. “CN” will cause an Invalid Command response and absence of the # symbol will cause the HIT-2A to ignore the data. CM Adjust 20mA output point “CM=#(DATA)” (DATA) is the integer value that the HIT-2A sends to the 4-20mA converter to output 20mA This parameter is passed to the HIT-2A to adjust the 20mA output point of the device. This value is used in production at the test step to calibrate the 20mA output point. “CM” will cause an Invalid Command response and absence of the # symbol will cause the HIT-2A to ignore the data.

39 HP-306 System Command Description/Response/Comments SA Set Alarm Output On “ Alarm Active ” Sets the alarm output active regardless of the settings. US Unit Status "UNIT STAT = " Requests the status. The values for with no or only one error present are: “0” – No Errors present. “128” – EPULSE error (0x080) “129” – ETOTAL error (0x081) “130” – ERATE error (0x082) “132” – EFLOW error (0x084) “129” – EERES error (0x088) (EEPROM reset to factory defaults) If multiple errors occur, the error codes are logically OR-ed. For example, if the unit has an ETOTAL and ERATE error occurring at the same time, the = “131” (0x83). CS Clear Status " Status Cleared " Clears all errors. Note: The CL and ST commands work as follows. The ST command shall store the present value of the total in Non-Volatile memory. This total in non-volatile memory shall be the initial total in the event that device power is removed and then re-applied. The CL command will clear the total in the device and the stored total in EEPROM but retain the present total in a volatile (RAM) memory location and keep it as the old total value. Removal of power from the unit causes this old total value to be lost. When the HIT-2A receives the ST from the PC, it shall echo back the old total value until the unit adds any value to the present total. If the HIT-2A receives a second CL command, the old total value shall be set to 0.

40 HP-306 For example, if the present total is 123.45 and the HIT-2A receives CL, the present total is cleared (set to 0.0000), the total in EEPROM is cleared, and the old total value is 123.45. If the HIT-2A receives ST, the HIT-2A echoes with the total 123.45, the old total value. If the HIT-2A receives pulses to cause the present total to increment to 0.01 and then receives a ST, the HIT-2A will echo 0.01, or the present total. The unit mimics this behavior on the display with the Clear Total Menu and the Set total menu. The reset total input (magnet or terminal input) acts the same as the receipt of a CL from the communications link.
