Navigating and Customizing Your Flow Controller
Option: Collecting Totalized Flow Data and Batch Dispensing
Your ow controller may have an optional ow totalizer, which enables batch
dispensing. The totalizer displays the total amount of mass or volume that
has owed through the instrument since its last reset, like a gasoline pump.
Access the totalizer screen by pressing TOTAL/MENU on the Main Display.
Totalizer Rollover Functions
Your ow totalizer has been congured to report a maximum of 7 digits. By
default, the placement of the decimal is the same as the live ow rate. The
totalizer can be congured at the time of order for the following behaviors.
(By default, the totalizer rolls over and displays OVR.)
• Rollover: Totalizer resumes counting from 0 as soon as the maximum count
has been reached.
• Freeze: Totalizer stops counting at max count, until it is reset manually.
• Error: Displays OVR status message when maximum count has been
reached; compatible with Rollover and Freeze.
The elapsed time counter has a maximum value of 9999:59:59 (h:m:s). If ow is
still being totalized at that point, the timer freezes, regardless of the behavior
chosen above for the totalized ow readings.
