When attempting to establish a serial link to the TCI the software may request the user to input a five digit Instrument Access Code This access code is necessary to maintain security The default Instrument Access Code is 33333 While in Serial Access mode the TCI queues any incoming volume pulses and waits to convert them to Compensated and Uncompensated Volume totals until returning back to Compensation mode after leaving Serial Access mode D It is important to note that the Temperature Compensation factor used for processing all of the volume input queued during Serial Access mode is not updated until this mode ends and the unit returns back to Compensation mode 29 30 6 Compensation mode 6 1 Volume measurement 6 1 1 Volume input sensors The TCI employs two volume input sensors providing redundant input signals for reliable measurement of Gas volume These volume input sensors are specially designed for rotary meter applications If one of the input sensors fails or has a temporary fault no volume measurement is lost due to the redundant sensor technique If the TCI microprocessor detects that one of the input sensor is not operating properly an Alarm Item will be set for that specific sensor and the TCI will be in an Alarm condition 6 1 2 Rotary volume scaling Measurement of the Rotary meter Gas volume is performed by using the input signals supplied by the two redundant volume sensors and multiplying th
