5. Press [F1] to turn the Energy Option OFF or press [F2] to turn it ON. (The Energy Option calculates the energy of a
system based on temperatures at the supply and return points, and the flow of fluid.)
6. Use the [F1]-[F4] and [
 and [ keys to select the desired Volumetric Units for the flow rate display.
Note: The above option bar shows English units, as an example.
The abbreviations and definitions of all the available volumetric units are shown in Table 2. The choices shown on the
option bar are determined by the selections made at the SYSTEM UNITS prompt in the GLOBL menu.
