The Model 4040 is a single-channel conditioner for measurement of
flow, rpm
, and other phenomena that can be sensed by pulse trans-
former transducers with two-wire isolated windings (tachometer
pickups, turbine flowmeters, etc.), transistor or logic-circuit drivers,
"zero-velocity" (true digital output) sensors, and similar frequency-
generating transducers. A "tare" function is preprogrammed for the
frequency input, and may be activated by a front-panel push button.
Via front-panel buttons, you can also display and reset MAXIMUM,
MINIMUM, and "MAX minus MIN" values for the "tared" analog input.
Unless otherwise specified at the time of order, your Model 4040 has
been set, prior to shipment, to a
standard configuration
. THIS CON-
FIGURATION IS FULLY ADEQUATE FOR MOST APPLICATIONS,
AND LETS YOU CONTROL BASIC INSTRUMENT SETUP AND
OPERATION SOLELY BY MEANS OF THE SIX FRONT-PANEL PUSH
BUTTONS AND THE EIGHT REAR-PANEL LOGIC I/O. A full listing of
your 4040's standard configuration is given in Appendix A.
Like all 4000 Series instruments, however, the 4040 can be rapidly and
easily reprogrammed in the field, to provide a variety of unique
application solutions. For such reprogramming you can use either
• an optional Model 10P80D Extended Keyboard that plugs directly
into the rear of the 4040 unit, or
• the optional StartPAC 100 Software (Model GS-SP100).* This
software applies to ALL Daytronic RS-485 networkable instru-
ments, and offers a number of valuable utilities for terminal
emulation, node configuration, network monitoring, data display
and logging, etc. IT IS SUPPLIED FREE OF CHARGE WITH ALL
4000 SERIES MODELS. For details on the installation and
operation of StartPAC 100, see the
StartPAC 100 Instruction
Manual
.
StartPAC 100 lets a connected computer serve as a "dumb" terminal
for entry of the specific MNEMONIC COMMANDS required to repro-
gram the 4040. These commands may also be issued directly to the
4040 via the optional Extended Keyboard. Commands which are
common to all 4000 Series models are described in detail in the
1.2
Model 4040 Description and Specifications 1.a
* Alternatively, you can use any of a number of commercially available
terminal emulation programs
to issue commands directly to the 4040.
