Description:
Featuring up to 4 1/2 digits of display, the Squirt-R is a loop
powered indicator capable of accepting either linear or square
root 4-20 mA inputs. Numeric password protection prevents
unauthorized access to the menu. The easy to read menu
prompts make the Squirt-R so easy to program that you will
feel comfortable programming it without the use of a manual.

DEFINITIONS
ent code : (enter code) This prompt will only appear if the panel lock is ON. Enter the password
code to enter the program menu. Press the ↑ key to increment each digit. Press the ←key to
step to the next digit to the left. Press the Ekey to enter the 4 digit code. If the entered code is
correct, the display will advance to the next menu prompt (CLr tot). If incorrect, the display will
return to the run mode.
clr tot : (clear total) Clears (resets) the totalizer. Press the Ekey to clear the total and return to
the run mode. Press the Mkey to skip and advance to the next menu selection.
3 or 4 : (3.5 or 4.5 digits) Choose between 3.5 or 4.5 digit rate display. Press the ↑ key to step to
the desired choice. Press the Ekey to enter the displayed choice.
dec loc : (Decimal Location) Sets the decimal location for the display and the rate lo & rate hi
settings. Press the ←key to move the decimal. Press the Ekey to enter the displayed
decimal location.
tot desc : (totalizer descriptor) This allows you to display one of the available descriptors on the
display (GAL, LIT, FT3, M3 or "blank"). Press the ↑ key to select the descriptor. Press the E
key to enter the selected descriptor.
rat desc : (ratemeter descriptor) Sets the rate descriptor. Choose rate per hour, minutes,
seconds or "blank". Press the ↑ key to step to the desired choice. Press the Ekey to enter
the displayed descriptor.
input : (input type) Choose between linear ( lin ) or Square Root Extraction ( SQ.u ) . Press the ↑ to
step to the desired input type. Press the Ekey to enter the displayed choice.
rate lo : (rate low) Sets the low setting for the 4-20 mA analog input. Key in the low rate value
which corresponds to the 4mA input. Press the ↑ key to increment each digit. Press the ←
key to step to the next digit to the left. Press the Ekey to enter the displayed rate lo value.
rate hi : (rate high) Sets the high setting for the 4-20 mA analog input. Key in the high rate value
which corresponds to the 20mA input. Press the ↑ key to increment each digit. Press the ←
key to step to the next digit to the left. Press the Ekey to enter the displayed rate hi value.
lo cut : (low cutoff) Percent of input span (0.1 to 9.9) below which all inputs will assume the rate
lo value. (With LoCut set at 9.9, and rAteLo set to 0, all inputs below 5.6mA will read 0)
CALCULATION EXAMPLE: Given: Cutoff desired at 9.9% span Compute: mA corresponding
to 9.9% = ((9.9%*16mA)/100%) + 4mA = 5.6mA

cal : (calibrate; yes or no) Select YES to calibrate the unit, select no to skip the calibration
procedure. Press the ↑ key to select YES or NO. Press the Ekey to enter the displayed
selection.
cal LO : (calibrate low) Apply an accurate 4 mA signal to the input and press the Ekey. If the
calibration is successful the unit will display " DONE cal lo ". If the calibration is not successful
the display will read " DONE cal err " see error codes page 7. Press the Mkey to continue.
cal hi : (calibrate high) Apply an accurate 20 mA signal to the input and press the Ekey. If the
calibration is successful the unit will display " DONE cal hi ". If the calibration is not successful
the display will read " DONE cal err " see error codes page 7. Press the Mkey to continue.
loc code : (lock code) Sets the 4 digit lock code to be entered when the unit prompts ent code .
This allows the user to gain access to the menu when the unit is locked. Press the ↑ key to
increment each digit. Press the ←key to step to the next digit to the left. Press the Ekey to
enter the displayed code. (Factory Default Code = 1000)
Record this number for later use!
loc unit : (lock unit) Sets the panel lock ON or OFF. Press the ↑ key to select yes (ON) or no
(OFF). Press the Ekey to enter the displayed selection.
NOTE: A hardware jumper menu lockout is also available. (see Typical Wiring Pg. 2)

This error message is displayed when the "RATE LO" value is set equal to or higher than the
"RATE HI" value. Press Mto re-enter the "RATE LO" and "RATE HI" values.
This error message is displayed when the "CAL LO" or "CAL HI" input is set at a value which
is out of range (see "CAL LO" and "CAL HI" in programming section for calibrating input
ranges). Press
M
to re-enter the "CAL LO" and/or "CAL HI" procedure.

If a low battery / invalid memory condition is detected, the display will flash and the "BAT"
descriptor will come on. Press Mto acknowledge the condition, E BATTERY will be
displayed. Replace the battery, reinitialize and recalibrate the unit. (see "Battery Replace-
ment" below).
Battery Replacement
Suggested Battery:
Panasonic BR2330
The polarity of the battery must be correct. Plus (+) must be on
top as signified on the conductor arm.
