Flow Unit
U
This parameter establishes the unit of measure for the flow rate and full scale flow. Changing this
parameter readjusts the full scale flow parameter. For example, changing from GPM to GPS would
change the full scale flow from 60 gal/min to 1 gal/s.

Full Scale Flow
S
This parameter sets the maximum flow that the system is expected to measure. This parameter has
influence on other system parameters, which include:
• Low Flow Cutoff – Changes to full scale flow affect the measuring cut-off threshold of the meter
• Alarm Outputs – Changes to full scale flow adjusts the thresholds for generating setpoint alarms
• Pulse Outputs – Changes to full scale flow adjusts the pulse frequency and duty cycle
Change the full scale flow based on the meter size and the application’s requirements. Verify that the
full scale flow falls within the meter’s suggested flow range limits.
Flow Range: 0.1…32.8 ft/s (0.03…10 m/s)
The full scale flow is valid for both flow directions.
OTE:N If the flow rate exceeds the full scale setting of more than 100%, a FLOW_OVERLOAD_
WARNING message indicates that the configured full scale range has been exceeded.
However, the meter will continue to measure. This will affect the latency of the pulse outputs
and possibly cause overflow.
