Section 2 Programming
2-3
Print Report – One function of the flow meter is to print reports
of activity recorded on the flow meter at regular intervals. The
contents of these reports are defined in step 1. If you set up the
flow meter to generate these reports, you can have a report
printed any time by pressing this key. The report will cover the
time interval from the last scheduled report up to the time you
press this key.
The flow meter will print the next report at the next scheduled
time. Note that if power fails for five minutes or more, the flow
meter will print a report when power is restored that will cover
the interval between the last report and the time that the power
failed. The next report will cover the time from the power failure
to next scheduled report time.
Chart Advance – Pressing this key causes the paper chart to
advance through the printer at the fastest possible speed.
Nothing will be printed while you are holding this key.
Chart Reroll – t is possible to unroll the chart from the take-up
roll on the flow meter by pulling it out with your hands. Pressing
this key lets you rewind the chart onto the take-up roll.
Number keys – These keys let you enter numeric values into
the flow meter when programming.
Decimal Point – This key lets you enter a decimal point into a
numeric value when programming. On flow meters equipped
with the optional modem only, you can use this character as a
comma (delay) when entering dialout numbers.
Arrow keys – These keys, referred to as the left and right arrow
keys let you select a programming option by moving across the
menus shown on the second line of the display.
+/– key – This key lets you enter a plus or minus to a quantity
entered. Its most common use is in entering values for the
equation, a method of flow conversion. On flow meters equipped
with the optional modem only, you can use this character as a
dash when entering dialout numbers.
2.3 Programming
Procedure
You press various keys on the keypad to select items from a menu
appearing on the flow meter's display. To start programming,
turn on the flow meter and wait for the display to settle. Then
either press the Enter/Program Step key (generally referred to as
Enter) or the Go To Program Step key.
The display will change to two lines of text; the first line
describes the step you are programming and the second line
shows the menu choices available. One of the choices shown will
be flashing. The flashing indicates that this choice is the current
one held in the flow meter's memory. If you are satisfied with this
choice, just press Enter, and the flow meter will advance to the
next step. If you want a different choice from the one flashing,
you can move across the display by using the left and right
arrow keys. Each time you press the right arrow key, the
flashing selection will move one position to the right. This will
continue until the flashing cursor is over the last display.
