Configure Pressure Impulse Settings

Pressure impulses can be configured on impulse-enabled RTUs. This is done from the RTU details panel.

PREREQUISITES:

  • You will need to have the RTU Management role assigned to you to be able to edit RTU configurations.
  1. Click to open the RTU details panel from a monitoring site or RTU list.
  1. Click Edit on the RTU details panel.

The Edit RTUs panel opens.

  1. In the Impulses section, click Enable impulse detection to activate the impulse fields.

An impulse capture is triggered when the difference between the maximum pressure reading minus the minimum reading, during the trigger window, is greater than or equal to the pressure change configured. The impulse capture completes after the trigger is no longer active, meaning the maximum reading minus the minimum reading is less than the pressure change configured for the trigger window.

There are four parameters to set for impulses:

  • Pressure Change of: the minimum pressure change required to trigger an impulse capture.
  • In: the trigger window or the maximum number of samples considered when detecting an impulse.
  • Store Pre Impulse Data For: the number of samples saved before the impulse trigger.
  • Store Post Impulse Data For: the number of samples saved after the impulse trigger is no longer active.
  1. Enter information in the Pressure Change of, In, Store pre impulse data for, and Store post impulse data for fields.
  2. Click Update to save the changes.

NOTE: The RTU configuration updates will be applied to the RTU the next time the RTU calls in.
