Loop Leader PD6600 Series Loop-Powered Process Meter Instruction Manual
Introduction
These loop-powered 1/8 DIN digital panel meters can be installed virtually anywhere to provide convenient and informative display of any 4-20 mA signal. One of the most convenient features of these instruments is their dual line display which is typically used to display the process variable on the 5-digit alphanumeric top line and the units or a tag on the 8-digit alphanumeric bottom line. Another common setup is
to display the input in one scale on the top line (such as feet) and another scale on the bottom line (such
as gallons). Both of these lines use 14-segment, alphanumeric characters for clear indication of tags,
units or alarm messages.
Further enhancing the display on these instruments is a 20-segment bargraph available on the PD6604/8
that also includes a numeric value of the percentage the bargraph represents.
These loop-powered meters can be installed virtually anywhere because they get their power from the 420 mA loop and therefore require no separate power source. And they only drop 1.5 V (4.5 V with backlight), so they add very little burden to the loop. Additional features that allow these instruments to be installed virtually anywhere include a NEMA 4X, IP65 front panel, an operating temperature range of -40 to
167°F (-40 to 75°C) (for safe area products), conformally coated PCBs, and a backlit LCD that can be
read in bright sunlight or dimly lit areas. Finally, there are intrinsically safe and nonincendive versions of
these instruments that can be installed in hazardous areas.
Free, PC-based, software that connects to the meter via a micro USB cable is available for programming
and setup of the meters. In addition, the meter can be programmed, setup and operated via the four front
panel buttons. Three of these buttons can be used as function keys. In addition, a digital input is standard
and is particularly useful for remote reset of the alarms or to trigger an alarm.
All models come equipped with two open collector outputs and are available with two solid state relays
and 4-20 mA analog output options. The open collector outputs are useful for alarm indication or pulse
output. The relays can be programmed for alarm indication, on/off control, or pump alternation.

Scaling the 4-20 mA Input
The 4-20 mA input can be scaled to the appropriate values for a given application. The 4-mA input (input
1) should have a corresponding display value (display 1) which represents the low end of the process
value range being measured by the transmitter. Likewise, the 20-mA input (input 2) should have a display
value (display 2) which represents the high end of the process value range.
For example: If the meter is used to display the level of a 100 ft tall tank, the transmitter should send a
4 mA signal when the tank is empty and a 20-mA signal when the tank is full. The meter should be programmed to interpret these inputs on a display range of 0-100, so that at 4-mA the meter will display 0
and at 20-mA the meter will display 100.
Processes which require a non-linear scale can be accommodated using the linear (LINEAR), exponent
(EXPONENT), square root (SQROOT), and round horizontal tank (RH TANK) functions available in the
Advanced menu. See Signal Input Conditioning Functions (FUNCTION) on page 39.
A signal source is not needed to scale the meter; simply program the inputs and corresponding display
values.
Setting the Display Features (DISPLAY)
The meter’s display functions may be programmed using the Display menu. This menu consists of the
following submenus: Units, Decimal Point, Comma, Bargraph (PD6604/8 Only), Top, and Bottom.
Changing the Units (UNITS)
It is possible to change the display units within the selected unit class without the need to re-scale the
meter. When selecting a new unit from within the DISPLAY menu (e.g. changing from gallons (GAL) to
liters (L)), the meter will automatically convert the display values to display the new unit. Enter the UNITS
menu, select a new unit of measure from the list of predefined units, and press the Enter button. If entering a custom unit (CUSTOM), a custom conversion factor will need to be entered.
Changing the Decimal Place Location (DEC.PT)
The decimal point may be set with up to seven decimal places or with no decimal point at all.
Pressing the Right arrow moves the decimal point one place to the right until no decimal point is displayed, and then it moves to the leftmost position. Pressing the Up arrow moves the decimal point one
place to the left.
If the dual-scale level feature is selected, the decimal point selections for PV1 & PV2 are enabled.
Enabling or Disabling the Comma on the Bottom Display (COMMA)
The bottom display is set to show a comma separating the thousands and millions place by default if a
numeric value is being displayed. This feature can be disabled or enabled using the Comma menu.

Programming the Bargraph (PD6604 & PD6608 Only)
The PD6604/8 comes equipped with a bargraph display for applications where a visual representation of
the process variable’s percentage of full scale is desirable. This feature can be enabled or disabled using
the Bargraph menu (BARGRAPH). The value displayed on the bargraph can be the percentage of full scale
(PV PCT) or the percentage of a user-programmable range (PV). If the meter is in dual-scale mode, the
bargraph can be assigned to display either PV1 or PV2 using this menu.
Programming the Outputs (OUTPUT)
Depending on the purchased model, the meter may be available with two open collector outputs, two
solid state relays, and one 4-20 mA output. The Output menu will only show options for the available outputs. See Ordering Information on page 5 for details.

Open Collector Outputs (OPEN COLLECTR)
The meter is equipped with two NPN open collector outputs that may be set up for pulse outputs, alarms,
timed pulses, or disabled.
Pulse outputs can be set to transmit the PV value (PV1 or PV2 if meter is in dual-scale mode). Output 2
may be used to generate a quadrature output based on the other open collector output. An output test
mode is also selectable to generate pulses at a constant programmable frequency.
Alarms are available based on the PV value or the digital input. The alarm status will show on the display
even if the output is not wired.
A timer output (TIMER) turns the open collector on and off at the specified time intervals. The timer can
be set as single-shot or continuous timer.
The stopwatch output (STPWATCH) allows the open collector to be manually activated by starting the
stopwatch. The stopwatch count can be displayed on the top or bottom line.
The output may be disabled by selecting DISABLE.

Pulse (PULSE)
Pulse outputs may be assigned to output the PV at a programmable factor. The factor determines the
number of pulses per second which should be generated per unit of measure. For example, if the meter
display shows 100 gallons and the factor is set to 2, the number of pulses generated per second would be
200. The maximum frequency is 1,000 Hz.
Setting output 2 to quadrature will duplicate the other open collector output, but lag by 90 degrees out of
phase. The other output should be programmed as desired for the quadrature output function and must
be a pulse (PULSE) output selection. The quadrature maximum frequency for both outputs is 500 Hz.
The TEST option will output a fixed number of pulses per second based on the FREQ value entered.

Alarm (ALARM)
Alarm outputs may be assigned to the PV or the digital input. When assigned to the PV, the alarm may be
set as either a high alarm or a low alarm. Alarm actions (AUTO, AUTO.MAN, LATCH, L-CLEAR) determine
how and when the alarm should be reset. They operate as follows:
• Automatic (AUTO): Alarm will reset automatically once the alarm condition has cleared.
• Automatic/Manual (AUTO.MAN): Alarm will reset automatically once the alarm condition has
cleared but can also be reset using the Enter (ACK) button (or whichever function key is set to
acknowledge) at any time.
•Latching (LATCH): Alarm must be reset manually and can be done so at any time. Press the
Enter (ACK) button at any time to clear the alarm.
•Latching with Reset after Clear (L-CLEAR): Alarm must be reset manually and can only be
done so after the alarm condition has cleared. Press the Enter (ACK) button after the alarm con-
dition has cleared to reset the alarm.
If the alarm is set to PV, a set and reset point must be programmed. The set point is the display value at
which the alarm will turn on and the reset point is the display value at which the alarm will turn off. If the
set point is lower than the reset point, the alarm will be a low alarm; if the set point is higher than the reset
point, the alarm will be a high alarm. The digital input alarm will trigger whenever the digital input is triggered.
For both the PV and digital input alarms, a delay before the alarm is turned on or off may be set, as well
as a failsafe feature which will inverse the on/off programming.
Alarm states will be displayed on the meter even if no open collector output is physically connected. The
alarm indicator (!) will display as well as optional red LED backlight, flashing PV value (PV alarm only),
and a programmable alarm message.

Timer (TIMER)
The timer output may be set to generate the timed pulse only once (ONESHOT) or continuously (CONT).
The timer output produces a constant width pulse at a constant frequency, if set as continuous timer.
Program the Off Delay (OFF.DLAY) from 1 second to 99 hours 59 minutes and 59 seconds. This is the
time it takes from selecting START to turning on the output and for how long the output is off in continuous
mode.
Program the On Time (ON TIME) for the active low pulse from 1 second to 99 hours 59 minutes and 59
seconds (pulse width). This is the period of time for which the output will remain on.
Select Start (START) to begin outputting the constant timed pulse.
Select Stop (STOP) to end outputting the constant timed pulse.
Function keys or the digital input may be assigned to start and stop timer functions (see the USER menu
in Advanced).
Stopwatch (STPWATCH)
The stopwatch function may be used to manually run and control a process for a specific time interval up
to 99 hrs., 59 min, and 59 seconds. The stopwatch function may be assigned to any open collector. There
are three settings needed to use the function effectively.
1. Assign stopwatch to either top or bottom display line
2. Assign the open collector or relay to control the process (on/off)
3. Assign a function key or digital input to start/stop the stopwatch
Application Example
In order to maintain consistency of a product, it is necessary to take and test samples at different times
throughout the day. The stopwatch function is used to open and close a solenoid valve to know the exact
amount of time needed to complete the desired sample. Once this is determined, the timer function can
be used to automatically take a sample (batch) based on the time determined using the stopwatch function.
Setup: Assign the following to Stopwatch Function
• Bottom display line
• Relay 1
• F3: Start/Stop
Procedure
• Press F3 to start the stopwatch; relay 1 turns on and the process starts running.
• Press F3 to stop the stopwatch; relay 1 turns off and the process stops.
• The bottom display indicates the time it took to complete the sample.

The meter is optionally equipped with two solid state relays that may be set up for alarms, timer, or pump
control. Alternatively, they may be disabled.
Alarms are available based on the PV value or the digital input. The alarm status will show on the display
even if the output is not wired.
Pump control allows the relay to turn on and off a pump at specified on and off points. This can be done
using only one of the relays to control one pump (ON-OFF) or using both relays in tandem to alternate
between two different pumps (ALTERN).
A timer output (TIMER) turns the relay on and off at the specified time intervals. The timer can be set as
single-shot or continuous timer.
The stopwatch output (STPWATCH) allows the relay to be manually activated by starting the stopwatch.
The stopwatch count can be displayed on the top or bottom line.

Pump Control (PUMPCTRL)
The pump control output is used in situations where the relays are used to control pumps. There are two
options available for controlling pumps: on-off (ON-OFF) and pump alternation (ALTERN).
ON-OFF will turn the relay on at a programmed on point and off at a programmed off point. Setting the on
point higher than the off point will make the output activate on a high PV value; setting the on point lower
than the off point will make the output active on a low PV value. The relay will reset automatically.
For pump control applications where two similar pumps are used to control the level of a tank or a well, it
is desirable to have the pumps operate alternately. This prevents excessive wear and overheating of one
pump over the lack of use of the other pump. Pump alternation uses both relays in tandem to alternate
between two similar pumps. The ALTERN menu is only available under Output 1 and will automatically set
Output 2 to pump alternation as well. Use the pump Alternation Time setting (ALT.TIME) to control the alternation based on runtime in addition to level cycles.
On/Off Pump Control (ON-OFF)
When programming a single pump to turn on and off, the on and off points must be programmed. The relay will activate at the on point and deactivate at the off point. On and off delays may optionally be programmed in order to delay the activation or deactivation of the relay by a certain number of seconds after
reaching either the on point or off point.

Pump Alternation (ALTERN)
Pump alternation sets the two relays to alternate every time the first on point (ON 1) is reached. The active relay will turn off once the first off point (OFF 1) is reached. If the PV reaches the second on point
(ON 2), the other relay will also turn on. The second relay will turn off once the second off point (OFF 2)
is reached and the first relay will remain active until the first off point (OFF 1) is reached.
On and off delays may optionally be programmed for each on and off point in order to delay the activation
or deactivation of the relays by a certain number of seconds after reaching either the on point or off point.
For pumps that typically remain on extensively, the alternation time (ALT.TIME) parameter sets a period
of relay on-time after which the relays should alternate. For example, if the alternation time is set to 1
hour, the active relay will deactivate after 1 hour of runtime and the inactive relay will activate.

Timer (TIMER)
The timer output may be set to generate the timed pulse only once (ONESHOT) or continuously (CONT).
The timer output produces a constant width pulse at a constant frequency, if set as continuous timer.
Program the Off Delay (OFF.DLAY) from 1 second to 99 hours 59 minutes and 59 seconds. This is the
time it takes from selecting START to turning on the output and for how long the output is off in continuous
mode. Program the On Time (ONTIME) for the active low pulse from 1 second to 99 hours 59 minutes
and 59 seconds (pulse width). This is the period of time for which the output will remain on.
Select Start (START) to begin outputting the constant timed pulse. Select Stop (STOP) to end outputting
the constant timed pulse. Function keys or the digital input may be assigned to start and stop timer
functions (see the USER menu in Advanced).
Stopwatch (STPWATCH)
The stopwatch function may be used to manually run and control a process for a specific time interval up
to 99 hrs., 59 min, and 59 seconds. The stopwatch function may be assigned to any relay. There are
three settings needed to use the function effectively.
4. Assign stopwatch to either top or bottom display line
5. Assign the open collector or relay to control the process (on/off)
6. Assign a function key or digital input to start/stop the stopwatch
Application Example
In order to maintain consistency of a product, it is necessary to take and test samples at different times
throughout the day. The stopwatch function is used to open and close a solenoid valve to know the exact
amount of time needed to complete the desired sample. Once this is determined, the timer function can
be used to automatically take a sample (batch) based on the time determined using the stopwatch function.
Setup: Assign the following to Stopwatch Function
• Bottom display line
• Relay 1
• F3: Start/Stop
Procedure
• Press F3 to start the stopwatch; relay 1 turns on and the process starts running.
• Press F3 to stop the stopwatch; relay 1 turns off and the process stops.
• The bottom display indicates the time it took to complete the sample.
Relay Information (INFO)
The relay information menu shows run times and cycle counts for each relay. These values may be
cleared at any time by selecting the Clear option (CLEAR?).

4-20 mA Output (4-20 mA)
The 4-20 mA menu is used to scale the 4-20 mA output based on display values. This menu is not
present on models without a 4-20 mA output option.
The 4-20 mA analog output (if equipped) can be scaled to provide a 4-20 mA signal for the PV display
range or to simply retransmit the 4-20 mA input. The output may be disabled (DISABLE), and will only
output the minimum signal.
Overrange and underrange values determine what mA signal the meter will output if the mA input is
underrange (<3.5 mA) or overrange (>20.5 mA). This value may be set to 1-mA, 3.5-mA, 3.8-mA, 20.5mA, 20.8-mA, 23-mA, or disabled.
No equipment is needed to scale the analog output; simply program two display values and
corresponding mA output signals.
Process Variable (PV)
To scale the analog output, enter display value 1 and a corresponding analog output value for this
display, and enter display value 2 and a corresponding analog output value for this display value. This will
This option will retransmit the 4-20 mA analog input without the need to scale the output.
The Control menu is used to control the open collector outputs, 4-20 mA analog output, or the relays
manually, ignoring the input. Each open collector, relay, and analog output can be programmed independently for manual control. Selecting automatic control sets all relays and analog output for automatic
operation.

Advanced Process Variable Setup (ADV PV SETUP)
The Advanced PV Setup menu contains options to apply signal input conditioning functions to the input
and scale/calibrate the input signal.
Signal Input Conditioning Functions (FUNCTION)
The Function menu is used to select the signal input conditioner applied to the input: linear, square root,
programmable exponent, or round horizontal tank volume calculation. Multi-point linearization is part of
the linear function selection.
Meters are set up at the factory for linear function with 2-point linearization. The linear function provides a
display that is linear with respect to the input signal.
Square Root Linearization (SQROOT)
The square root function can be used to linearize the signal from a differential pressure transmitter and
display flow rate in engineering units.
Programmable Exponent Linearization (EXPONENT)
The programmable exponent can be used to linearize the signal from level transmitters in open-channel
flow applications using weirs and flumes.
Multi-Point Linearization (LINEAR)
Meters are set up at the factory for linear function with 2-point linearization. Up to 32 linearization points
can be selected for PV1 and PV2 under the linear function. Multi-point linearization can be used to linearize the display for non-linear signals such as those from level transmitters used to measure volume in
odd-shaped tanks or to convert level to flow using weirs and flumes with complex exponent.
If the dual-scale level feature has been selected, the menus for PV1 & PV2 are enabled.
Round Horizontal Tank Linearization (RH TANK)
This function automatically calculates the volume in a round horizontal tank with flat ends. It is only available for PV2 while the meter is in dual-scale mode.
Set the display for the desired decimal point and engineering units before entering the round horizontal
tank function. Select units (inches or cm) for the tank dimensions. Enter the diameter and the length in
inches or cm and the results will be calculated automatically in US gallons or liters. The unit of measure
for the volume can be changed using the display menu. See Changing the Units (UNITS) on page 24 and
Available Unit Classes and Units on page 23 for a list of available volume units. There is no need to enter
scaling values.

Advanced Scaling and Calibration (SCALE.CAL)
This menu offers options to scale or calibrate the meter.
Scaling the Input (SCALE)
The scale menu in the Advanced menu is the same as the scale menu in the Input menu. See Setting Up
the Input Signal (INPUT) on page 22 for details about scaling the meter.
Calibrating the Input (CAL)
The meter can be calibrated to display the process in engineering units by applying the appropriate input
signal and following the calibration procedure. The CAL menu should be used with a live signal coming
from a 4-20 mA transmitter connected to the process being measured.
During calibration, the mA input value will be displayed as INP 1 and INP 2. Adjust the input source until the desired mA value is shown. The use of a calibrated signal source is strongly recommended.
1. After accessing the SCALE.CAL menu, press the Right-Arrow button to scroll to the Calibration
menu (CAL PV) and press Enter.
2. Select the appropriate units for the desired process variable, then press Enter. For information on
units, see Available Unit Classes and Units on page 23.
3. The meter displays INP 1. Apply a known signal and press Enter. The display will flash while

Low-Flow Cutoff (CUTOFF)
The low-flow cutoff feature allows the meter to be programmed so that the often-unsteady output from a
differential pressure transmitter at low flow rates always displays zero on the meter.
The cutoff value may be programmed from 0 to 999999.9. The meter will display zero below the cutoff
value. The cutoff may also be disabled to display negative values.
Noise Filter (FILTER)
The noise filter is available for unusually noisy signals that cause an unstable process variable display.
The noise filter averages the input signal over a certain period. The filter level determines the length of
time over which the signal is averaged. The filter level can be set between 1 and 16 seconds or turned
off. The higher the filter level, the longer the averaging time and so the longer it takes the display to settle
to its final value. Setting the filter level to off disables the filter function.
Noise Filter Bypass (BYPAS)
The noise filter bypass changes the behavior of the meter so that small variations in the signal are filtered
out but large abrupt changes in the input signal are displayed immediately. The bypass value determines
the minimum amount of signal change to be displayed immediately. All signal changes smaller than the
bypass value are filtered or averaged by the meter. The noise filter bypass may be set between 0.1 and
99.9% of full scale.
Enabling Password Protection (PASSWRD)
The Password menu is used for programming security to prevent unauthorized changes to the programmed parameter settings.
In order to set a password, enter the Password menu and program a five-digit password. When a password has been enabled, the lock icon will display in the lower right of the display (PD6602/6 only).
For instructions on how to program numeric values see Setting Numeric Values, page 21.
Making Changes to a Password Protected Meter
If the meter is password protected, the meter will display the message LOCKED when the Menu button is
pressed. Press the Enter button while the message is being displayed and enter the correct password to
gain access to the menu. After exiting Programming Mode, the meter returns to its password protected
condition.
Disabling Password Protection
To disable password protection, access the Password menu and clear the entered password either by
pressing and holding the Right Arrow button until all digits reset to zero or manually changing all of the
digits to zero. When the Enter button is pressed, the meter will display UNLOCKED and will no longer require a password to access Programming Mode.
Note: If the meter is password protected and the password has been forgotten, the password may be
overridden using the master password: 50865

Enabling the Function Key Hint Feature (HINT)
Enabling the function key hint feature will cause a hint message to be displayed when pressing the F1,
F2, or F3 function keys. This text gives a brief description of what the button is programmed to do. Pressing that function key a second time will execute that action.
The hint feature does not affect the digital input (DI) which is intended for immediate execution.
Changing System Settings (SYSTEM)
The System menu contains the following menus: Analog Output Calibration, Restore Factory Defaults,
Dual-Scale (PV2), Backlight, Information, and Internal Calibration.
Analog Output Calibration (AOUTCAL)
To perform the analog output calibration, it is recommended to use a milliamp meter with a resolution of
at least 0.1 µA to measure the output current. The values saved internally during this procedure are used
for scaling the 4-20 mA output in the Setup menu.
Resetting the Meter to Factory Defaults (DEFAULT)
When the parameters have been changed in a way that is difficult to determine what’s happening, it might
be better to start the setup process from the factory defaults. To load factory defaults, enter the DEFAULT
menu under the SYSTEM menu and press enter twice in quick succession. The meter will load the default
settings and restart.
Enabling the Dual-Scale Feature (PV2)
For some level applications, such as displaying the height and volume of a tank, it is possible to enable a
second PV which can be scaled to display a different value based on the same 4-20 mA input. This is accomplished by enabling the dual-scale feature (PV2).
When the dual-scale feature is enabled, additional menus will be displayed to allow for the programming
of the second PV. The input menu will display PV1 and PV2 for scaling and the display menu will allow
both PVs to be displayed on either line, for example. See Display Functions & Messages on page 18 for
additional information on where additional dual-scale specific menus will appear.
PV2 must be enabled in order to use the Round Horizontal Tank feature. See Round Horizontal Tank Linearization (RH TANK) on page 39.
Enabling or Disabling the Backlight (BACKLITE)
The backlight may be enabled or disabled using the Backlight menu. The backlight is enabled by default,
but the input must be wired appropriately in order for the backlight to function. See Safe Area Current
Loop (4-20 mA) Connections on page 13. The voltage drop is the same if the backlight is not wired or if it
is disabled in the software.

Calibrating the Internal mA Reference (ICAL)
The use of calibrated signal sources is necessary to calibrate the internal source of the meter. The meter’s internal source is what allows the user to scale the meter without applying a signal.
Check calibration of the meter at least every 12 months.
Note: Allow the meter to warm up for at least 15 minutes before performing the internal source calibration
procedure.
The Internal Calibration menu is part of the Advanced menu. Internal Calibration is performed as follows:
1. Press the Menu button to enter Programming Mode.
2. Press the Up-Arrow button twice and press Enter to access the Advanced menu.
3. Press the Up-Arrow button and press Enter to access the System menu.
4. Press the Up-Arrow button and press Enter to access the ICAL menu.
5. The meter displays low input current message (4.000 mA). Apply a 4-mA signal and press Enter.
The display flashes for a moment while the meter is accepting the low input signal.
6. After the display stops flashing, the display moves to the high input calibration (20.000 mA). Apply the high input signal and press Enter. The display will flash again while the meter is accepting
the high input signal.

Meter Operation
The meter is capable of accepting a 4-20 mA current signal and displaying it in engineering units from
-9,999 to 99,999 on the top line or from -9,999,999 to 99,999,999 on the bottom line. For example, a
4-20 mA signal could be displayed as -50.00 to 50.00.
The dual-line display can be customized by the user to operate in such a way as to satisfy a specific application. Typically, the top line is used for the process variable while the bottom line is used for engineering units, custom tag, or process variable percentage of full scale.
The 4-20 mA input can be scaled to display the process in two different scales; for example: with PV2 enabled, the main display could indicate level in feet and the second display could indicate the volume in
gallons.
Front Panel Buttons Operation
Function Keys Operation
During operation, the programmable function keys operate according to the way they have been programmed in the Advanced Features – User menu. The table above shows the factory default settings for
F1, F2, and F3.
A hint message may be enabled in order to provide a description of what each function key does prior to
executing their assigned function. See Enabling the Function Key Hint Feature (HINT) on page 43.
Digital Input Operation
A digital input is standard on the meter. This digital input is programmed identically to function keys F1,
F2, and F3. The input is triggered with a contact closure between DI+ and DI-, or with an active low signal. During operation, the digital input operates according to the way it has been programmed in the Ad-vanced Features – User menu.
Maximum/Minimum Readings
The max & min readings (peak & valley) reached by the process can be displayed either continuously or
momentary:
1. Display briefly by pressing the F1 key (default) or assigning to any of the other function keys or to
the digital input in the User menu.
2. Display continuously by pressing the Enter button while the max/min is being displayed to lock
the display. Press Enter again to unlock.
Any of the F1-F3 function keys (buttons) and the digital input can be programmed to reset the max & min
readings. The meters are set at the factory to display the max reading by pressing the Right Arrow/F1
button and to use the Up-Arrow/F2 button to access the Reset menu. Press the Right Arrow button to cycle through the available parameters to reset.
Changing Engineering Units
It is possible to change the display units within the selected unit class without the need to re-scale the
meter. The UNITS menu in the DISPLAY menu allows the unit of measure to be changed (e.g. from gallons/second (GAL/s) to liters/second (L/s)) and the meter will automatically convert the display values to
the new unit of measure. If entering a custom unit (CUSTOM), a custom conversion factor will need to be
entered. See Changing the Units (UNITS) on page 24.
