.....Flowmeter configuration using setup menus
To configure the flowmeter:
1. Access the setup menus individually by pressing MENU and entering the 2-digit address OR by
scrolling through the submenus and selecting the desired setup menu.
2. a. If the setup menu requires a numeric entry, use the numeric keys to enter the value and press
ENTER to accept the value. If the numeric value is entered incorrectly, press ERASE to delete the
entry.
OR
b. If the setup menu offers a non-numeric selection, press ENTER, and the asterisk changes to a
flashing cursor. Use the arrow keys to scroll through the available selections. When the cursor is
to the left of the desired selection, press ENTER.
3. Complete the configuration process by accessing a primary display (menus 00 through 04).
The flowmeter does not use the new parameters until you access a primary
display.
3.5 Quick Setup Configuration
The Quick Setup procedure contains the minimal steps required for flowmeter configuration. These steps
enable the flowmeter to calculate transducer spacing, acquire ultrasonic signal, and measure flow. The
number in parentheses after the required menu is the 2-digit address to directly access that menu.
1. Select a proper transducer site according to Section 4 (page 33).
2. Access the Pipe submenu. This submenu contains setup menus related to the pipe parameters such
as pipe inside diameter (ID) and pipe outside diameter (OD).
Pipe Wall Thickness is an additional setup menu within the Pipe submenu. If
parameters for any 2 of the following 3 setup menus are entered, the flowmeter
calculates the remaining parameter automatically: Pipe OD (10), Pipe Wall
Thickness (11), Pipe ID (12).
Accuracy is directly affected by the square of an error in pipe dimensions; actual
measurements (not nominal) must be entered.
a. Select the PIPE OD menu (10). Figure 3.5-A (page 12) is displayed. Enter the value for the pipe
OD and press ENTER. Press the DOWN ARROW, and select Actual.
If you know the pipe circumference but not the OD, enter the circumference value
instead and press ENTER. Press the DOWN ARROW, and Figure 3.5-B (page 12)
is displayed. Select Circum. The flowmeter calculates the pipe OD automatically.
