Flow Rate User Volume Units Conv Factor (Read Only or Editable)
If you have selected volume rate units which weren’t “user dened,” then this
parameter will not be editable. If “user dened” volume rate units were selected,
this parameter is used to describe conversion factor between gpm and your
custom unit of measurement.
In the example below, the user dened volume rate had a per hour time frame.
The conversion factor was set to 500. The full-scale ow rate in user units was set
to 5,000,000. The number is converted to gpm as follows:
Full Scale Equivalent (gpm) =
Full Scale in Dened (units per hour)
60 x Conversion Factor
Full Scale Flow Rate gpm (Read Only)
This parameter shows the gpm equivalent of the “Full Scale Flow Rate in Volume
Rate Units.” If the units of measurement for both parameters is gpm, then they
will be identical.
Volume Rate Units (Editable)
This parameter allows the user to set the units of measurement for the analog
output, if the meter has one.
After selecting the desired units, press the “Set” button to permanently program
the meter with these ow rate units.
There are also three selections for custom units of measurement. If one of these
selections in made, the “Flow Settings” tab will populate with two new functions
described below.
Full Scale Flow Rate User Volume Units (Read Only or Editable)
If you have already selected volume rate units which weren’t “user dened,”
then this parameter will not be editable. If “user dened” volume rate units were
selected, this parameter is used to describe the units of measurement you will be
using.
In the example below, “5 Gal Bucket per Hour” was the entered unit. Press “Set”
after entering your description to permanently set this value:
