Option Flow direction Totalizer and inventory behavior
Reverse Only Forward Totals do not change
Reverse Totals increment
Bidirectional Forward Totals increment
Reverse Totals decrement
Absolute Value Forward Totals increment
Reverse Totals increment
Important
Actual flow direction interacts with Sensor Flow Direction Arrow to determine the flow direction that
the transmitter uses in processing. See the following table.
Table 6-1: Interaction between actual flow direction and Sensor Flow Direction Arrow

4. Optional: Set User Name to the name you want to use for the inventory or totalizer.
User-Defined Label can have a maximum of 16 characters.
The transmitter automatically generates a name for each totalizer and inventory, based on its source,
direction, and type.
Example
• Source = Mass Flow
• Direction = Forward Only
• User-Defined Label = Mass Fwd Total
Example
• Source = Gas Standard Volume Flow
• Direction = Bidirectional
• User-Defined Label = GSV Bidir Inv
The specified name is used on the transmitter display and on all interfaces that support it. If User Name
contains only spaces, the transmitter-generated name is used. Not all interfaces support totalizer and
inventory names.
Example: Checking for backflow
You suspect that there is a significant amount of backflow through the sensor. To collect data, configure two
totalizers as follows:
• Source = Mass Flow, Direction = Forward Only
• Source = Mass Flow, Direction = Reverse Only
