1.8 USING FASTSTART SETUP

The dual-channel clamp-on mode offers a choice of using FastStart Setup or Full Site Setup to create

your site setup. As its name implies, FastStart Setup is a quick way to start up the meter. FastStart

inserts default settings into all applicable menu cells. However, these can be edited later via the Full

Site Setup menu. In order to use FastStart Setup:

z Your pipe must be included on the meter’s pre-set pipe table.

z Your liquid is water, or has similar sonic characteristics.

FastStart setup is actually a shortcut to these two menu locations (where data entry is mandatory for a

successful start-up):

z Pipe Data: The Pipe Data Menu is limited to the selection of pipe pre-sets only. There

are no provisions for manual pipe editing.

z Pick Install Xdcr: This is the same menu as Full Menu Setup (see paragraph 1.7).

Press to access the Pipe Class option list. Note that although [Manual Entry] exists on this

list, it is inactive for FastStart Setup (see paragraph 2.2.1).

1.8.1 CHOOSING THE PIPE CLASS/SIZE

Press to access [FastStart Setup]. This selects [Choose Pipe Class]. There are over sixty English

and metric pipe sizes for eight different classes of pipes. Picking a pipe class and size automatically

sets all the required pipe parameters using industry standard dimensional data.

In this example, we will pick the pipe class: [ASA Carbon Steel] by moving the cursor to the

selection and then pressing .
