Select Rate (Time) Interval
The term rate implies that something is occurring over a period of time. Most people are familiar with the rate of speed of a
car reported in miles per hour (mph). The same concept holds true for a flow meter. The time choices are SEC (seconds), MIN
(minutes), HOUR (hours), and DAY (days). At the RATE INT prompt, press ENTER. The monitor now shows the current time
interval. If the current selection is correct, press ENTER to advance to the next parameter. To change to an alternate time
interval, use the arrow keys to scroll to the desired time interval and press ENTER to save the choice.
OTE:N If flow rate is the only measurement of interest, skip to KFAC UNT to complete the programming process.
Select Total Units of Measure
If a flow amount is desirable, the units for the total must first be chosen. The monitor allows the choice of many common
totalization units. (See the SPECIFICATIONS on page 6 for a complete listing of the unit choices.) At the TOTAL UNT prompt,
ENTER. The monitor shows the current total units. If the current selection is correct, press ENTER to advance to the next
parameter. To change to an alternate unit, use the arrow keys to scroll to the desired totalization unit and press ENTER to save
the choice.
OTE:N This unit of measure does not have to reflect the rate unit you have previously chosen.
Example: Rate Units = Gallons, Total Units = Barrels
Select Total's Display Multiplier
The monitor has a very versatile display that has the ability to accumulate the flow total in
multiples of ten. For example, if the most desirable totalization unit is 1000 gallons, the monitor
can easily be set up for this requirement. Once the unit is back in RUN mode, every time the total
display increments by one digit the actual total would be an additional 1000 gallons. At 1000
gallons the total display would read one, at 3000 gallons the total display would read three,
and so on. This feature eliminates having to look at a total, count the digits and mentally insert
commas for each 1000 multiple.
At the TOTL MUL prompt, press ENTER. The monitor now shows the current total multiplier. If
the current selection is correct, press ENTER to advance to the next parameter. To change to an
alternate multiplier, use the arrows to scroll to the desired multiplier unit and press ENTER to save the choice.
OTE:N The K factor supplied with the meter or calculated from calibration data will be needed to complete the next step.
Enter Meter's K Factor
At the KFAC UNT prompt, press ENTER. The display now shows the current K factor unit. If the current selection is correct, press
ENTER to advance to the next parameter. For meters calibrated in gallons, use PUL/GAL; for meters calibrated in cubic meters,
use PUL/M3 or any other unit choice.
Scale Factor
At the SCALE F prompt, press ENTER. The current scale factor will begin to flash. If the current selection is correct, press
ENTER to advance to the next parameter. The scale factor is used to force a global change to all variables. For example, under
operating conditions the display is reading a consistent three percent below the expected values at all flow rates. Rather than
changing all parameters individually, the scale factor can be used to compensate for the three percent offset. The scale factor
would be set to 1.03 to correct the readings. The range of scale factors is from 0.5…1.5. The default scale factor is 1.0.
Meter Type
At the METERTYP prompt, press ENTER. The current meter type will be displayed as LIQUID or GAS. If the current selection
is correct, press ENTER to advance to the next parameter. If GAS is selected, operating pressure (psig) and operating
temperature (° F) must be entered before advancing to the next parameter.
OTE:N The 4-20 mA zero and span values are not factory set.
