Timebase Units
The Timebase units configure the units used for the flow rates. For example, if the volume units are
set to ‘gallons’, and the timebase units are set to ‘minute’, the flow rates will be reported as
gallons/minute. Timebase units available are:
• Seconds
• Minutes
• Hours
• Days
K-Factor Units / K-Factor
The K-factor units set the units that the flow meter uses for its k-factor. For example, if the turbine
flow meter has a stated k-factor of 50,000 pulses/gallon, select ‘gallons’ for the K-Factor units, and
enter 50000 for the k-factor.
Contact Hour
The contract hour setting controls when the volume accumulated for today, rolls over to yesterday’s
volume. The contract hour is set in hh:mm in the 24-hour format. For example, 2:30pm would be
entered as 14:30.
30 Day Logging
The Flow Totalizer also keeps an on-board log of the last 30 days of flow totals. This log can be
accessed using the SignalFire ToolKit. From the Tools Menu, select ‘Daily Log’. On the daily log
window click ‘Refresh’ to read the log file. The log can be saved as a .csv file.
Flow Rate Reporting
The Flow totalizer reports two flow rates, average flow rate, and instantaneous flow rate.
The average flow rate is the flow rate over the configured check-in period. For example,
if the check-in period is configured as 2-minutes, each check-in will contain the average flow rate over
the 2-minues.
The Instantaneous flow rate is calculated every 2-seconds. At check-in the most recent instantaneous
calculated flow rate will be reported.
