Therefore, when carrying out any work which involves the risk of static damage to the instrument,
the instructions show the following notice:
While carrying out this procedure you must

wear an earthed wrist strap at all times to
protect the instrument against static shock.
At such times you must wear an earthed wrist-strap to protect the instrument.
Safety information
NOTE: This information applies only to those instruments which are mains-powered.
Electricity is dangerous and you risk injury or death if you do not disconnect the power supplies
before carrying out some of the procedures given in this manual. Whenever there is such a
hazard, the instructions show a notice similar to the following:
Electricity is dangerous and can kill.

Disconnect all power supplies before proceeding.
You must heed any such warnings and make sure that, before you go any further:
• All power leads are un-powered.

• All power leads are disconnected from the equipment which you are working on
unless the instructions tell you otherwise.
• You obey any other common-sense precautions which may apply to your situation.
If you obey these sensible precautions you can work on the equipment in complete safety.
Battery-backed Memory notice

• 7950 and 7951 models manufactured since July 1998 feature an increased amount of
battery-backed memory.
The PCB Number and Status Number associated with this enhancement are as follows:-
79500502L (Status ‘L’ or later):
79510502G (Status ‘G’ or later):
• As a result of that memory increase, it is essential that the Lithium Cell used for the battery
backup is installed at all times (other than during replacement). 7950/7951 units will not
power-up correctly if this battery is missing. (7955 and 7952 models are not affected)
If it is necessary to run the units without batteries for Intrinsic Safety reasons, then the battery
should be replaced with a shorting disk inserted in the battery holder. Please consult Solartron
for further advice.
• Replace the battery when the "Low Battery" system alarm is indicated. The procedure is
explained in this manual. (See Chapter 14)

Chapter 1 About this manual
1. About this manual
1.1 What this manual tells you

This manual tells you how to install, configure, operate and service the instrument. In addition,
some information is given to help you identify and correct some of the more common faults which
may occur. However, since repairs are done by changing suspected faulty assemblies, fault-
finding to board component level is not covered.
This manual assumes that all devices or peripherals to be connected to the 795x have their own
documentation which tells you how to install and configure them. For this reason it is assumed
that anything which you want to link to the 795x is already installed and working correctly in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Since the instrument can be used for a wide variety of purposes, it is driven by software specially
for your application. This manual gives information about the software which applies to your
machine only.
Throughout this manual the term '795x' is used to refer to all members of the 795x family (7950,
7951 and 7955).
1.2 Who should use this manual

This manual is for anyone who installs, uses, services or repairs the 795x.
1.3 Software version covered by this manual

The software version dealt with in this manual is given on the title page. Chapter 3 tells you how
to find out what software is installed in your instrument.

Chapter 2 Getting started
2. Getting started
2.1 What this chapter tells you

If you are new to the 795x, then the worked examples in this chapter can help you to become
familiar with the installation and configuration procedures. The examples are:
• Example 1: 795x with a 7810/11/12 (See page 2.3)

• Example 2: 795x with a 3096 Gas Specific Gravity Transducer (See page 2.8)
• Example 3: 795x with a mA-type temperature transmitter (See page 2.11)
• Example 4: 795x with a mA-type pressure transmitter (See page 2.14)
• Example 5: 795x with a PRT-type temperature transmitter (See page 2.17)
Work through whichever one is most like your installation.
2.2 What the examples show you

Each example shows you how to:
• Wire up a simple system.
• Set the DIP switches inside the 795x.
• Find the menu from which you start configuration.
• Clear the memory of details of any existing configuration (OPTIONAL).
• Select the appropriate wizard to configure the simple system.
• Work through the wizard and key in information.
• View the results of your configuration.
The examples do not give full instructions on how to fit and configure installations. They are
intended purely to give you confidence to install and configure your own equipment. Chapter 5
tells you how to make permanent installations.
2.3 If you need help...

If you get into difficulties...
If you get into difficulties when using the wizards, you can abandon the configuration and start
again as follows:
1. From the menu, keep selecting NO (usually by pressing the c-key) or, if that option is
not available:
2. Press ENTER until you can start selecting NO.
3. Carry on with (1) and (2) until you return to the wizards menu where you started.
4. Start the worked example again. The configuration you abandoned is cleared from the

Chapter 3 About the 7950
3. About the 7950
3.1 Background
The Solartron 7950 was developed to meet the demand for a reliable, versatile, user-friendly and
cost-effective instrument for liquid and gas metering. It has a Motorola 68332 16-bit microprocessor
and surface-mounted circuit board components so that it is powerful, reliable and compact.
Features of the 7950 include:
• simple access to information

• comprehensive interrogation facilities
• alarm and alarm history facilities
• a menu-driven, user-friendly interface
• NEMA 4X, IP65 enclosure
• ac and dc powered
• three serial communication ports (using RS232 or RS485) for MODBUS communications
and printing.
These facilities are described in more detail in the rest of this chapter.
3.2 What the 7950 Dual Channel Gas Signal Converter does
The 7950 Gas Signal Converter is primarily used to convert signals from one format to another. There
is a need for this conversion when a system is unable to accept a raw signal from a transducer or,
perhaps, some intermediate signal processing is required.
A common conversion is where a frequency input from a 7812 gas density transducer can be accepted
by a 795x and then transmitted (by the same 795x) through an analogue output as a 4-20mA signal.
In this application, the 7950 can calculate:

• Line density√ (from Transducer, PTZ method or mA-type input)
√
• Specific gravity (from Transducer, mA-type input or Base density)
• Base density√ (from Specific gravity method, PTZ method or mA-type input)
• Energy (Cv/m) (from AGA-5 method or mA-type input)
Note : Dual channel measurements are available for Items marked with a √
It can also obtain:

• Line temperature
• Densitometer temperature
• Density pressure
• Atmospheric pressure
• Percentage of CO2 (from a mA-type input)
• Percentage of N2 (from a mA-type input)
• Compressibility (from S-GERG, NX19, NX19mod or NX19 3h)
• Special equations 1 and 2
7950 Op Man / AA Page 3.1

3.3 Physical description of the 7950

The 7950 is a wall-mounted instrument housed in a one-piece case. The upper part of the
instrument has a panel on which are mounted the keyboard and display. Below this, and stepped
back slightly, is a terminal cover which, when removed allows access to the electrical connectors on
the connector board inside the instrument. All wiring enters the case from underneath, through the
gland plate which has to be drilled for the purpose.
The connector board is mounted vertically inside the back of the case. The microprocessor board is
attached, by six screws and stand-offs, to the back of the keyboard and display.
The upper and lower parts of the instrument are separated by a horizontal metal plate (the screen)
which helps to protect the instrument against electro-magnetic interference.
The 7950 and its major assemblies
Page 3.2 7950 Op Man / AA

3.4 Communications
The 7950 can operate as a MODBUS slave. It can:
• download a configuration from a PC, DCS, etc.

• upload a configuration
• monitor random locations in the 7950
• interrogate the alarm and data logger buffers
• manipulate the alarm and data logger buffers
• set random locations with new data
• instigate printed reports.

Chapter 5 Installing the system
5. Installing the system

This chapter gives you full instructions for installing the 7950.
It does not go into detail about how to install any peripheral devices (such as transducers,
computers or printers) which can be connected to the 7950. For this information you must refer to
the documentation supplied with these items.
5.2 Hazardous and non-hazardous environments

If all or part of an installation is in an area where there is the risk of fire or explosion, then barriers
usually have to be wired into the circuit. However, some instruments (such as the Covimat) are
explosion-proof and barriers are not, therefore, needed.
You must follow the manufacturers instructions and safety recommendations fully.
5.3 Installation procedure

Briefly, the procedure is:
Step 1: Draw up a wiring schedule
Step 2: Unpack the 7950
Step 3: Set the DIP switches
Step 4: Fit the 7950
Step 5: Make all external connections
Step 6: Earth the installation
Step 7: Connect power supply
The steps in the procedure are explained in the following sections.
5.4 Step 1: Drawing up a wiring schedule

Before you make any connections, you must draw up a wiring schedule to help you identify wiring
colours and make sure that you do not connect more items of any given type than you are allowed
to. (If you are in doubt, check the specification in Appendix C.)
A blank copy of a wiring schedule is given in Appendix B.
7950 Op Man / AB Page 5.1

5.5 Step 2: Unpacking the instrument

Remove the instrument from its packing and examine it to see if any items are loose or if it has
been damaged in transit. Check that all items on the shipping list are present. If any items are
missing or if the equipment is damaged, contact your supplier immediately for further advice.
What should be supplied with the 7950:

• Labels #1 - #20 for identifying the sockets
• 4-way free socket for DC input
• 3-way free socket for AC input
• 10-way free socket for I/O (13 off)
• 1.6A and 400mA fuses (Note: these are spares)
• An operating manual (this manual)
Other items you must supply yourself:

• cable glands (if you want to use them)
• fixings (such as screws and plugs) suitable for fixing the 7950 to a wall.
Note: If you have ordered optional, additional facilities (such as extra outputs) these are already
installed in the machine.
5.6 Step 3: Setting DIP switches

The 7950 is supplied with the DIP switches in these default settings:
• Turbine power: 8 VOLTS
• Security switch: NONSECURE
• Input 1 PRT
• Inputs 2-4: 4-20mA
Dip switches on the Connector Board
Page 5.2 7950 Op Man / AB

If you want to change these settings, do this as follows::
• Security The 7950 can work in a non-secure or securable mode.

In non-secure mode, anyone can have access to the
signal converter. In securable mode, access to many of
the signal converter’s functions can be protected by a
password. At this stage, setting the DIP switch only
determines whether or not the instrument is capable of
being protected because the actual setting of the security
is carried out later when the instrument is configured.
• PRT or analogue There are four dip switches (one per channel) which
(4-20mA) inputs determine whether the input to each channel is from a
PRT or analogue (4-20mA) transmitter. Set each DIP
switch as you require.
Note: You also have to configure the inputs. This is

explained in Chapter 10.
When you have set the dip switches, replace the terminal plate.
Note: The 7950 is always shipped from Solartron with the security DIP switch set to non-secure.
5.7 Step 4: Fitting the 7950

Note: You must not fit the 7950 where it may be subjected to extreme
conditions or be liable to damage. The instrument is designed to comply
with IP65 and Nema 4X standards. For further information about the
environmental conditions within which it can operate, see Appendix C.
Mounting details for the 7950

1. Undo and remove the six screws which secure the gland plate to the underneath of the
instrument. Remove the gland plate.
2. Drill whatever holes are required in the plate to allow the cables to enter the instrument. Do
not replace the gland plate at this stage.
3. Drill a pilot hole in the wall. Then, using whatever fixings (such as wall plugs) are suitable for
the type of wall, turn in a screw so that its head sticks out far enough so that the keyhole-
shaped slot at the back of the case can fit over it.
4. Fit the instrument on the wall.
5. Undo the four screws and remove the terminal cover.
6. Mark through the two instrument mounting holes then take the instrument off the wall.
7. Drill holes for screws at the marked positions. The holes should be wide enough to take wall
plugs if these are to be used.
8. If wall plugs are to be used, insert them into the holes.
9. Hang the instrument on the wall, insert the screws and tighten them sufficiently to hold the
instrument in place.
10. Replace the terminal cover.
5.8 Step 5: Making the connections

1. Refer to the documentation supplied with the external equipment to see if you have to carry out
any special procedures when connecting them to the 7950. Take special notice of any
information about complying with EMC regulations.
2. Pass the cables through the holes in the gland plate then connect the sockets to the wiring
using your schedule and the connection diagram (in Chapter 5) to help you.
3. Check the wiring thoroughly against the schedule and wiring diagram.
4. Connect the sockets to the plugs on the connector board.
5. Replace the gland plate.

5.9 Step 6: Earthing the instrument

NOTE: Incorrect earthing can cause many problems, so you must earth the
chassis and the electronics correctly. However, the way in which you
do this depends almost entirely on the type of installation you have and
the conditions under which it operates. Therefore, because these
instructions cannot cover every possible situation, the manufacturers
recommend that earthing procedures should only be carried out by
personnel who are skilled in such work.
The Chassis of the 7950 must be earthed in all cases; both for safety reasons and to ensure that
the installation complies with EMC regulations. Do this by connecting an earth lead from the stud
on the gland plate to a local safety earth such as pipework or some other suitable metal structure.

to external earth
Earthing the chassis of the 7950
In addition to earthing the chassis, you may have to make extra earth connections in some cases,
depending on the installation requirements. Details of this are given in Appendix C.

5.10 Step 7: Connecting the power supply

NOTE: Solartron recommend that power connections should not be

made by anyone other than a properly-qualified electrician.
Follow these 5 steps:
1. Switch off and disconnect all power supplies to the instrument (if you haven’t already done
so).
2. If you are using cable glands, insert one into the appropriate hole in the gland plate.
3. Pass the power cable through the cable gland.
4. Before going any further, re-check that the wiring is connected correctly.
5. The instrument can work on either 110-230V a.c. or from a d.c. supply. Make the power
connection, as follows:
• For a.c. power: Plug the power connector into plug PL1.
• For d.c. power: Plug the power connector into plug PL2.
Note that you can connect the 7950 to both the d.c. and a.c. supplies if you want a d.c.
back-up in case the mains supply should fail.
The instrument goes through the following Power On Self Test (POST) routine:
• The display shows a sequence of characters or patterns to prove that all elements of
the display are working. There is a pause of five seconds between each change of
pattern.
• The program ROM is checked against a checksum. The display shows how the test is
proceeding.
• Critical data are checked. The display shows the result of this check.
• The coefficients are checked. The display shows the result of this check.
• The battery-backed RAM is checked. The display indicates progress.
• Any saved programs are checked. The display shows the number of programs and
their status. Note that, for a new machine, there are no stored programs.
• If a battery is fitted, its condition is checked and reported.

Note that, when the power is switched on, alarm LEDs may light up. You can ignore these for the
moment - alarms are explained in Chapter 8. As long as the POST is completed satisfactorily, the
7950 is ready to be configured (see Chapters 10 and 11).
If the POST fails to complete, switch off the power and check all connections and the DIP switch
settings. Then re-connect the power supply. If the POST still fails to complete, switch off again and
contact your supplier.

Chapter 7 The menu system
7. The menu system

Before you can configure and operate the 795X you must have some understanding of how the
menu system works. The menus are simple, logically-arranged and intuitive so they should
present no problems to the average user.
This chapter tells you how a typical menu structure is arranged. Because instruments in the 795x
family have different software according to the application for which they are being used, the
description given here is general so that it applies to any instrument.
This chapter also explains the conventions used in the diagrams, used throughout this manual,
which show you parts of the menu system.
NOTE: Diagrams showing the menu system used in your application are
given in Chapters 10 ‘Configuring your instrument’ and 11 ‘Routine
operation’. Those chapters also explain how you use the menus to
configure and operate the 795x.
7.2 What the menu system does

The menu system lets you:
• Configure the 795x
• Operate it
• View data and settings stored in the 795x
• Edit data stored in the 795x
7.3 How the menu system works

When you switch on the instrument, a menu (known as the Main Menu) appears. If you make
choices from this menu it leads you on to other, lower-level menus (Levels 2, 3 and so on).
Therefore, you can think of the menu system as having a tree-like structure which repeatedly
branches to lower levels.
At the lowest levels, you can view stored data and settings and edit these if required.
Where a menu has more lines than can fit on to the display, it consists of two or more pages. You
can scroll up or down between the pages by using the UP-ARROW and DOWN-ARROW keys.
(These keys do nothing if there is no page to scroll to.)

7.5 Conventions for menu diagrams in this manual

Keys
Shaded keys are keys which:
• Lead you on to another menu, (such as keys a - d on the first page of the Main Menu)
• Take you on to another page in a multi-page menu (these are always DOWN-ARROW
keys, such as the one next to the first page of the Main menu).
• Take you back to the previous page in a multi-page menu (these are always UP-
ARROW keys).
White keys are keys which:
• Don’t do anything (such as the d key in the third page of the Main Menu).
• Don’t lead on to another menu or menu page.
Displays
Each display is shown as it appears, except for variables which are shown as text in brackets.
For example:
(Value) The display actually shows the value of the parameter.
(Units) The display actually shows the name of the units.
(Live or set) The display actually shows LIVE or SET, whichever applies to
that item.

Chapter 8 Alarms
8. Alarms
8.1 Alarm types

The types of alarms which are detected and recorded are:
System alarms, caused by one or more of:

• Power failure
• Battery low (if a battery is fitted)
• Watchdog
• RAM checksum failure
• ROM checksum failure.
Input alarms, caused by one or more of:

• Failure of analogue inputs
• Failure of density transducers
• Incorrect data has been entered.
Limit alarms, caused by one or more of:

• Limits which you have set
• Limits defined by the system.
These always result in two alarms - one when the change first happens and another when the
system returns to its normal state.
8.2 Alarm indicators

The 795x has three LED indicators (one each for Input, System and Limit Alarms) to show alarm
status.
Each alarm indicator can be in one of three states:
• Off The system is working normally.
• Flashing An alarm has been received but has not yet been accepted.
• On The alarm has been accepted but the condition which

caused the alarm in the first place still exists.

SYSTEM INPUT LIMIT

ALARM ALARM ALARM
Alarm indicators on the front panel
8.3 How alarms are received and stored

When a new alarm is received, the appropriate indicator LED on the front panel starts flashing. If
the indicator is already flashing because of a previous alarm, it continues to do so. If the indicator
is already ON, it starts to flash.
Information about alarms is stored in two logs:
• The Historical Log This contains an individual entry for every alarm
stored in the log.
• The Status Display This gives:
(1) a summary of the contents of the Historical Log

(2) an indication of the current status of the system.
The Historical Log can store up to 30 entries. When a new alarm is received, one of two things
can happen:
• If the Historical Log is not full an entry for the new alarm is added to the top of the
list.
• If the Historical Log is full then, depending on how the system is set up: Either (1)
the oldest entry is deleted and the new one is added to the top of the list, or (2) the
new alarm is discarded. In either case, the Status Display is updated automatically.
8.4 Examining the Status Display and Historical Log

If you want to examine the Status Display or Historical Log, press the INFORMATION button.
Then, from the next menu, select Alarm logger. This brings up the Status Display for the
system. From here, press the DOWN-ARROW key to open the Historical Log where the alarm
entries are stored.

8.5 What the Status Display tells you

A typical Status Display is shown in the diagram. It lists, for each type of alarm (System, Input or
Limit) the numbers of alarms which are live and new.
• New alarms are alarms which have been received but not yet accepted.
• Live alarms are alarms which refer to conditions which are still active.
An example of a live alarm is when there is a fault in the system. This produces two alarms - one
when the fault first occurs and the second when it is put right. If only the first alarm of the pair has
been received, the alarm is said to be live because the condition still exists.
The number of live alarms tells you how many faults are still active. If you look at the Historical
Log this tells you more about these faults.

The diagram above shows the function of the relevant keys, and what is on the display.
To clear all the alarm entries in the Historical log, press the CLR key. This clears all entries in the
Historical Log, zeroes the entries in the Status Display and sets all LED indicators to OFF.
Each alarm has its own entry in the Historical Log which tells you:
(1) Type of alarm

Whether it is system, input or limit and on or off.
(2) Extra identifier for the alarm

This is not always shown for every entry but, where it is, it is either:
• A digit This indicates the channel number on which the fault occurred.
• A letter H and L are for high and low Limit alarms, S is for a step
alarm.
(3) Date and time

The date is in the format DD-MM-YY and the time HH:MM:SS. These are entered
automatically by the system when the alarm is received. The time is accurate to within
one second.

Chapter 8 Alarms
(4) Acceptance indication

This is only shown for those entries which have not been accepted. When the entry is
accepted, the indicator disappears.
(5) Other entries indication

An up-arrow shows that there are entries before the present one, a down-arrow shows
that there are others after. If the entry currently shown is first in the list, there is no up-
arrow. If it is last, there is no down-arrow.
(6) Description of the alarm

This is an abbreviated description of the alarm and should be sufficient to help you trace
the cause of the problem.

Chapter 9 Additional facilities
9. Additional facilities

You can also specify features such as:
• Fallback values and modes to be used if live inputs fail

• Limits which, if exceeded, trigger alarms
• The units in which the calculations are performed and are displayed.
The following sections give more information about these, and other, topics which relate to the
way in which data is processed.
9.2 Selecting units and data formats

You can select the units which the 795x uses for its calculations and in which it displays the data, as
well as the formats in which the data is displayed.
You can choose the units and formats for:

• Line density
• Base density
• Temperature
• Pressure
• Energy(Cv/m)
• Time period input
A full list of the units (metric and imperial) is given at the end of this chapter. Note that, if you change
the units, the values are converted automatically to reflect the change.
9.3 Limits
You can set limits for some parameters so that an alarm is generated if the limits are exceeded.
There are three types of limit:
• High limit: The highest value which the parameter can have before an
alarm is generated.
• Low limit: The lowest value which the parameter can have before an
alarm is generated.
• Step limit: The greatest allowable step between successive values before
an alarm is generated.

The parameters, and the types of limit which you can set for them, are:
• Line density: high, low and step

• Base density: high, low and step
• Line temperature: high, low and step
• Density temperature: high, low and step
• Line pressure: high, low and step
• Alarm X and Y: high and low
• Specific gravity: high, low and step
9.4 Fallback values and modes

A fallback value is used as a temporary substitute for a parameter if a live input (i.e., the
transducer, transmitter or wiring), which is normally used to calculate the parameter, should fail.
A fallback must have one of the following modes:
• None The system uses whatever value is available for the

parameter regardless of whether or not the live input
has failed.
• Last good value The system uses, for the parameter, the last value
prior to failure.
• Fixed value The system uses whatever fixed value you have
specified for the fallback.
You can set fallback values for:
• Line density
• Base density
• Line temperature
• Line pressure
• Specific gravity
• Density temperature
• Atmospheric pressure
• CO2 and N2
• Energy (Cv/m)
9.5 Analogue 0% and 100% values

These are values which specify the zero and span of analogue inputs and outputs.

9.6 Live and set data

What are live and set data?
Stored data can be either live or set. Live data is continually updated by new data received from
transducers or other transmitters. Set data is data that you have entered via the keyboard; it
does not change unless you enter new data.
Why should I want to set data?
You may want to set data for reasons such as:
• You want to test the flow computer’s programming

If you want to test the flow computer’s programming it is much easier if you use
known, fixed data.
• You don’t want to monitor a particular parameter constantly or don’t want to monitor it at all.
If a parameter is not likely to change significantly or if it is not important to
measure it accurately, you may not want to connect a transducer or transmitter.
In this case, set data may be accurate enough for your purposes.
• A particular transducer or transmitter is out of action.

You can temporarily set the data to a fixed representative value until the
transducer is repaired or replaced.
9.7 Units which the 795x can display

The 795x can display data values with many different units, as listed in Table 1 below. However,
when communicating with other devices, the data is always sent using the standard units.
In Table 1 , the following definitions are used:
• Standard units: Units which the 795x displays unless you choose an
alternative.
• Other units: Units which you can choose instead of the standard.
Note that many of the abbreviations used in the tables are defined in the glossary.

Chapter 11 Configuring the 795x: (b) using the menus
11. Configuring the 7951 using the menus
NOTE: The recommended way of configuring the 795x is by using wizards, as

explained in Chapter 10. But you should use the methods given here if:
• You want to configure an installation which is very different from the

examples shown in Chapter 10.
• You want to change only a part of an existing configuration, irrespective

of how it was configured in the first place.
• You are experienced in using the 795x menus.
11.1 What does configuration involve?

After you have installed the instrument and made sure that it is working, you must tell
it:
• what inputs the field transmitters are connected to
• how input data is to be processed
• how results are to be output
There is a default configuration which covers a general application. However, it is
usually necessary to edit this configuration to suit particular needs.
11.2 Before you start

Before you begin configuring you must obtain the calibration certificates for all the field
transmitters connected to the 795x. The diagram on Page 11.4 shows an example of
a typical calibration certificate.
If you have followed the installation procedure given in Chapter 5, the instrument is
ready to be configured. Otherwise, you must make sure before continuing that:
• The dip switches for the analogue inputs are set as explained in Chapter 5.
• All instrumentation has been connected.
• The instrument is powered up.
11.3 Recommended sequence for configuration

It is recommended that you configure items in the following order:
1. Inputs (See Section 11.5).

2. Transducer details (See Section 11.6).
3. Anything else such as Specific Gravity, Energy, Custom Application,

Multiview, etc. Do these in the order in which they appear in this chapter.
(See Sections 11.7- 11.18).

Other parameters - 11.17
Multiview - 11.18

11.4 What Sections 11.5- 11.18 tell you
Each section tells you how to configure one parameter. The format of each section is:
• (Where necessary) a statement which tells you what information you must
have to configure the parameter.
• (Where necessary) a block diagram showing how the instrument uses

information from the transducers (“Live Data”) and information you give it
(“Fixed Data”) to calculate the value of the parameter.
• A diagram which shows that part of the menu system which you use to
configure the parameter.
Sections 11.17 (Configuring other parameters) and 11.18 (Configuring Multiview)

have a slightly different format from the others because of the special nature of the
topics they deal with.
The table on Page 11.2 lists the items which you can configure and, for each, the
calculations (if any) which are involved in obtaining the value of the item.
NOTE: In the menu diagrams, where an item is shown in brackets, the actual value
or setting appears in the menu at that point. For example:
(Value) The display shows the actual value of the parameter.
(Units) The display shows the actual units.
(Live or set) The display shows whether the parameter is LIVE or SET.

What the “Other parameters” option does

Selecting “Other parameters” brings up the following options:
• Display formats
Lets you specify, for each parameter: The units which are used, together with
the number of decimal places or exponential format for the value.
• Alarms
Alarms are dealt with in chapter 8.
• Communications
Lets you set up all aspects of communications, including:
- the function of each port
- baud rates
- character formats
- handshake protocol
- Modbus parameters (slave address, dialect and mode)
• Display contrast
Lets you set the contrast between the text and background on the display.
Contrast is on a scale of 1-10; the higher the number, the darker the contrast.
• Security
Use this option to set passwords. This is explained later in this section.
• Computer calibration
This is used to calibrate instruments connected to the 795x. DO NOT
CHANGE THESE SETTINGS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. IF YOU
DO, YOU CANNOT CHANGE THEM BACK WITHOUT USING
SPECIALISED CALIBRATION EQUIPMENT.
Passwords and security
Securable and non-secure modes
The 795x can work in a non-secure or securable mode. In non-secure mode,

anyone can have access to any of the facilities. In securable mode, access to
facilities can be protected by passwords.
Changing security mode: 7950 instrument only
If you want the 7950 in securable mode, set the dip switch on the Connector/Power
Supply board to SECURABLE (if you didn’t do this when you installed the instrument).

Where to find the security dip switch on the 7950
Changing security mode: 7951 and 7955 instruments only
In the 7951 and 7955 instruments, you change the security mode by using the key
switch on the front of the instrument. The instruments are normally securable but,
when you insert the key and turn it clockwise, this changes the mode to non-secure.
You can only withdraw the key in the vertical (securable) position.

Security levels
The password system restricts access to its facilities to those people with certain
levels of authority. There are four levels of security:
• Calibration
• Engineer
• Operator
• World (anyone other than those listed above).

The table below lists what facilities each of these groups can access.

Menu structure for configuring Multiview
What is Multiview?
Multiview (often referred to as the “User Display”) is a display which you define to
show whatever information you want. It consists of up to four lines which comprise
either or both of:
• Text (such as the name of a parameter), at the left of the line.

• A value for a parameter, at the right of the line.
You can change the configuration of Multiview displays whenever you wish.
An example of a typical Multiview display is shown on Page 11.35.
How to get into Multiview

To see the Multiview display, press the Multiview key (the TOP blank key). The
Multiview display looks like the example below.

A typical Multiview display
Configuring Multiview
Outline of the procedure for configuring Multiview:
Step 1: Decide what text you want to display
You almost certainly want each line of the Multiview display to show the name
(possibly in an abbreviated form) of a parameter whose value you want to
display. Bear in mind that:
• Text cannot exceed 11 characters.

• The display leaves a space between the text and value.
• The value is displayed as a number without any units. You may wish to
include the units as part of the text.
Step 2: Find the location IDs of the parameters
1. In the menu system, find the parameter you want.

2. Press the a key to display the location ID.
3. Note down the location ID.
4. Repeat this for the other parameters.
For example: To find the ID of the location where Line Density is stored, go
to the Level 3 menu headed “Line density value”. The display looks like this:
Step 3: Open the Multiview configuration menu
Open the Multiview configuration menu as shown in the diagram on Page

11.35.

Step 4: Entering the text and location ID for each line
1. Select whichever line (1 - 4) you want to configure.
2. Enter the text you require.
3. Enter the parameter (location ID) you require.
Note that after the location ID is entered, the display changes to show the
name of the parameter.
Step 5: Set the text width
The text width is the number of characters you want the text to occupy. If you
want to set the text width:
1. Go to the Text width menu.
2. Edit the value


Chapter 12 Routine operation
12. Routine operation

This chapter tells you how to carry out all those procedures which are a part of the
normal operation of the 795x. It does not cover configuration, servicing or repair.
These topics are dealt with elsewhere in this manual.
12.2 Viewing the data

The diagrams on the following pages show that part of the menu structure which you
use to carry out many of the procedures described in this chapter.
The diagrams show the first, second and third levels of the menu structure except for
that part which is concerned with configuration, which is covered in a separate
chapter.
NOTE: Where an item is shown in brackets, the actual value or setting appears at
this point. The most common examples are:
(Value) The display shows the actual value of the parameter.

(Units) The display shows the actual units.
(Live or set) The display shows either LIVE or SET according to the
setting of the input.

A typical data display
You can edit some of this information by:
• Making the data LIVE or SET.

• Changing the units which are displayed.
• Changing the value which is displayed.
There are limits on what the display shows and, as a result, what you can edit.
For example, Atmospheric Pressure has a value and units and can be made live or
set. On the other hand, you cannot SET the Alarm Total (there is no point in doing
so), neither can you display units for it.

12.5 Making data values Live or Set

To make any value live or set:
Go to the menu which displays the parameter, its value and units (where
applicable). Toggle the d-key to show LIVE or SET as you wish.
For example, to set the value for Prime Base Density:
1. Refer to the first Menu Structure diagram.
2. Go to the Level 3 menu which is headed PRIME BASE DENSITY.
3. Press the d-key. This toggles between LIVE and SET. Leave it on
whichever setting you want.
12.6 Changing the units which are displayed

To change the displayed units:
1. Go to the menu which displays the parameter, its value and units.
2. Press the c-key. The name of the unit currently in use shifts to the left of
the display.
3. Press the UP-ARROW or DOWN-ARROW key to scroll through the list of
units. Stop at the one you want.
4. Press the c-key. The unit you have selected shifts back to the right of the
display.
12.7 Changing fallback values

To change the fallback values:
1. Go to the menu which displays the parameter, its value and units.
2. Press the b-key. The value currently displayed shifts to the left of the
display.
3. Key in the value you want. This over-types the existing value.
4. Press the b-key. The value you have entered shifts back to the right of
the display.
12.8 Changing the time and date

To change the time and date:
1. Go to the Level 3 menu where the time and date are displayed.
2. Press the b-key. The time and date currently displayed shifts to the left of
the display.
3. Key in the new date and time. This over-types the existing figures.
4. Press the b-key. The new details shift back to the right of the display.

12.9 Checking the performance of the 795x

If you want to check that the external connections are working properly, the Health
Check facility can help you. It shows, for each external connection:
• the name of the input or output
• the value of the data
• the units for the data
• whether the data is live or set
• the Modbus or location ID, or nothing.
If the data is live but the value appears to be unusually high or low, this may be
because the external connection is not working properly.
12.10 Giving your 795x a tag number

If you have more than one 795x you may want to give each instrument a tag number
so that, in printed reports for example, you know which one the report refers to.
To allocate an identifier:
1. Select the Unit ID option on the Main Menu.
2. Press the b-key. The cursor shifts to the left of the screen.
3. Key in the identifier you want. This over-types any existing identifier.
4. Press the b-key again. The new details shift back to the right of the
display.
12.11 Printed reports

The two types of report
The 795x can print out reports which give you information about the state of the
system. There are two types of report:
• Current report This shows the data currently stored in a list of up to
20 locations which you specify.
• Alarm log report This shows the current contents of the alarm log,
plus data from a list of up to 20 locations.
How to define a list of locations for reports

Find and note down the location IDs for all parameters you want to include in the list.
(If you are unsure how to find location IDs, it is explained in the section on configuring
Multiview.)

NOTE: If you have more than one 795x, it is advisable to include the Unit ID in
the report list so that you know which instrument the report refers to.
Use the five-page menu shown in the diagram to define your list. Note that your list
can include up to 20 locations.

Chapter 13 Routine maintenance and fault-finding
13. Routine maintenance and fault finding
13.1 Cleaning the instrument

You can use a cloth or sponge and water clean the outside of the instrument. Do not
use caustic cleaning agents or abrasive materials.
13.2 Fault finding

Although the instrument is designed to be extremely reliable it is possible that faults
may arise at some time or another. The fault-finding charts show the most likely faults
and explain how to trace their causes and put them right. If you cannot cure a fault
yourself, contact your supplier or the manufacturers for help.
NOTE: This chapter does not deal with faults caused by incorrect configuration of
the instrument. If you want to find out more about configuration, refer to
Chapters 10 and 11.
Using the Health Check

The 795x Health Check facility provides a method of displaying a variety of
measurement parameters, including time period inputs, analogue inputs and status
inputs and outputs. This can be used as a diagnostic aid if the system seems to be
faulty.

The types of connection can be split into three groups, each of which has different earthing
requirements. The groups are:
Group 1 (non-isolated power supply): Serial communications ports

Pulse outputs
Status outputs
Group 2 (isolated power supply): Status inputs
Group 3 (isolated power supply): Analogue inputs

Frequency inputs
Analogue outputs
The diagrams on the next two pages shows you how to earth the external connections.

Earthing arrangements for the 7950

Earthing requirements for group 1 connections only

In general, the earthing arrangements are different for large and small installations. (A small
installation may possibly consist of just one instrument.)
• If the 7950 is part of a large installation with separate earths for chassis
and instrumentation:
In this case you may (depending on the overall system requirements)

earth the 7950 chassis and instrumentation separately by cutting the
link on the connector board.
• If the 7950 is on its own or in a small installation with one common earth
for chassis and instrumentation:
In this case you must leave the link intact so that the chassis and
instrumentation are earthed to the same point.
LINK 1
LINK 1
Where to find the link on the connector board

The status inputs do not have to be earthed because the circuitry contains only opto-electrical
components.

These depend on what sort of installation you have and the environment in which it operates.
You therefore have to decide what earthing arrangements you need. It is likely that this group
has to be earthed at a zener barrier earth. For further information, refer to the documentation
for the external devices which are connected to the installation.

E.2. Equations used to derive data tables
Density/temperature relationship
The density/temperature relationship is:
ρ t = ρ 15 exp[ −α 15 ∆ t (1 + 0.8α 15 ∆ t )]
3
where: ρt = density at line temperature t°C (kg/m )
3
ρ 15 = density at base temperature 15°C (kg/m )
∆t = t°C -15°C (i.e. t - base temperature)
α 15 = tangent thermal expansion coefficient per °C at base

temperature 15°C
Tangent thermal expansion coefficient

The tangent thermal expansion coefficient differs for each of the major groups of
hydrocarbons. It is obtained from the equation:
K 0 + K1 ρ 15
α 15 =
ρ 152
where K 0 and K1 are API factors which are obtained from the table:
Product Density K0 K1
Range

(kg/m )
Crude Oil 771 - 981 613.97226 0.00000

Gasolines 654 - 779 346.42278 0.43884
Kerosines 779 - 839 594.54180 0.00000
Fuel Oils 839 - 1075 186.96960 0.48618
Product compressibility
The definition of compressibility used to develop the table in Section 1 of the IP Petroleum
measurement Manual is the isothermal secant compressibility, defined by the equation:

1 ∂V1 − ∂V2
β=− ê ú
V0 P1 − P2 T
where β = isothermal secant compressibility at

t t T
V0 = volume of liquid at atmospheric pressure
∂V1 = change in volume from V0 to V1

∂V2 = change in volume from V0 to V2
V1 & V2 = volumes at pressures P1 and P2 , respectively
P1 & P2 = gauge pressure readings (Bar)
For practical purposes, when the liquid volume changes from V0 to V1 as the gauge pressure
changes from zero (atmospheric) to P1 , the above equation is simplified to:
1 ∂V1
β=− ê ú
V0 P1 T
ISO Document TC 28/SC3/N248, (Generation of New Compressibility Tables for International

Use) gives the following equations relating β to the compressibility data:
log e C = 1.38315 + 0.00343804T − 3.02909 log e ρ − 0.0161654T log e ρ
and
β = C × 10 6 × bar −1
where: T = oil temperature in °C

ρ = oil density in kg/litre at 15°C
The new equation (from the API Manual of Petroleum Measurement Standards, Chapter
11.2.1M) gives (after converting to units of kg/m and bar):
0.87096 ×10 6 4 .2092 × t ×103

ç −1.62080 + 0.00021592 × t + + ÷
ρ 215 ρ 215
β = 10−4 e bar −1
where: T = temperature in °C
3
ρ15 = density (in kg/m ) at 15°C and at atmospheric pressure

3 3
This equation is valid for the density range of 638 kg/m to 1074 kg/m . For a density range of
3 3
350 kg/m to 637 kg/m refer to Chapter 11.2.2M in the API Manual.
Velocity of sound in liquids

The velocity of sound in dilational waves in unbound fluids is given by:
1
c = (β a ρ)
−
2
where: c = velocity of sound
βa = adiabatic compressibility
ρ = density
