MAIN MENU
This setting enables or disables the empty pipe detector.
The Empty Pipe Detector senses when uid is drained from the pipe and the ow sensing electrodes are exposed to air. When this occurs, the displayed ow rate
will drop to zero and the empty pipe icon will be displayed in the upper left­hand side of the display window. If the current (mA) output alarm is active, the milliamp output will also indicate an alarm condition.
To change the existing setting, press enter to access the function and use the up
arrow key to turn the function on or o. Press enter to accept the change and
exit the function. Press escape to exit the program mode. Table of Contents
The empty pipe threshold function is used to set the maximum allowable
resistance value between the ow sensing electrodes in the transmitter. The
transmitter will go into empty pipe alarm when the value is exceeded. The default value is 500. The maximum allowable value is 9,999.
Scaled Pulse Output 2 [Pls2 = Gal X.XXXX]
To enter a new value, press enter to access the function. Use the right arrow key to move the cursor and the up arrow key to change the resistance. Press enter to accept the change and exit the function. Press escape to exit the program mode.
Table of Contents
This function is only available when output pulse 2 in OUTPUTS menu (menu 7) [Out2 = XXXXX] is set to Pulses+, Pulses- or Pulses±. When active, Scaled Output Pulse 2 sets the unit of measure and the volume or mass that equates to one
pulse. This pulse weight setting is limited by the diameter of the ow sensor.
The list of units of measure available for selection can be in US/IMPERIAL or SI units depending on the pulse 2 unit type [Pl2 unit = IMPERIAL] setting in UNITS menu (menu 2). In the same way, the list will show mass units, if mass units are enabled [Mass units = OFF] in menu 2. The tables below show the available units of measure.

Output 2 pulse duration is only active when scaled pulse output 2 [Pls2= Gal X.XXXX] is active. It is used to set the duration of each pulse. The duration is set in milliseconds with a range of 0.4 to 9999.99.
Note: Pulse durations must match the requirements of the input they are connected to. Very short pulse times may not be counted by the input and long duration pulsed may damage electromechanical registers.
To enter a new value, press enter to access the function. Use the right arrow key to move the cursor and the up arrow key to change the pulse duration. Press enter to accept the change and exit the function. Press escape to exit the program mode. Table of Contents
This function sets the full scale ow value for the analog output.
The maximum allowable ow rate is a function of the diameter of the ow sensor. Regardless of the diameter, the maximum ow rate setting cannot exceed a
velocity of 10 m/s.
To enter a new value, press enter to access the function. Use the right arrow key to move the cursor and the up arrow key to change the value. Press enter to accept changes and exit the function. Press escape to exit the program mode.

Enter the remote transmitter cable length. The allowable cable length is a
function of the uid conductivity with a maximum allowable cable length of 164ft
(50m). Use of the remote mount transmitter option with conductivity levels of
less the 15µS/cm is not recommended. Use the table below to determine the
maximum cable length for your installation.

Low Flow Cut-o [Cut-o=%XXX]
Autorange [Autorange= OFF]
High Immunity Input Filter [H.im.inp = OFF]
The ow signal damping function allows the user to smooth out the eects of sudden changes in the ow readings on the display and the output. Damping may be applied using the “Smart” lter or by setting xed time interval ltering. It
is recommended to start with no damping.
Smart ltering automatically adapts to changing ow conditions. This lter will provide signicant ltering when large, rapid changes are detected and minimal ltering when ow is more stable. This type of ltering is useful when large changes in ow occur at random intervals.
Time based ltering applies a xed time constant to the ltering algorithm. Longer time constants increase the damping eect, but they also reduce response time. See examples below. This type of ltering is useful when the variations in ow are relatively constant and repeatable. Damping time interval
are 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500 & 1000 seconds.

Low Flow Cut-o [Cut-o = % XXX]
Autorange [Autorange = OFF]
This function sets the low ow cut-o for ow measurement. The meter will report all ow measurements below the threshold as zero ow. This cut­o function is necessary to prevent small random noise signals from being reported as ow. It is based on a percentage of the full scale ow rate 1 [FS1=
Gal/m XXX.X] in SCALES menu (menu 3). The allowable settings are between
0 and 25% of full scale. For most applications a value between 0.1 and 1.0% is
recommended.
To enter a new value, press enter to access the function. Use the right arrow
key to move the cursor and the up arrow key to change the cut-o percentage.
Press enter to accept the change and exit the function. Press escape to exit the program mode. Table of Contents
When autorange is enabled the meter will operate with two dierent ow ranges.
In order to get the best results, range 1 [FS1= Gal/m XXX.X] in SCALES menu (menu 3) must be larger than range 2 [FS2= Gal/m XXX.X].
When the ow rate increases and reaches the 100% of the full scale 1, then the meter automatically switches to full scale 2. When the ow rate decreases to a value on full scale 2 equal to the 90% of full scale.1, then the meter reverts to full
scale 1.
When autorange is enabled, the manual range change function [Range change= OFF] in INPUTS menu (menu 6) cannot be used.
High Immunity Input Filter [H. im. inp. = OFF]
Note: This function does NOT increase the accuracy of the measurement; it only increases the resolution of the 4-20 mA output when the meter is operating at very
low ow rates (e.g. The ow rate of a domestic water distribution with much higher daytime ow versus nighttime ow).

When enabled, the high immunity input lter will increase ltering at the input circuitry. This ltering is only eective when conductivity levels are greater than 500 µS/cm. It should only be used after all other methods of minimizing noise have been employed as this will aect the ow measurement. The default setting is o.
Note: The use of this lter will reduce ow measurement accuracy.
