The instrument has been configured and calibrated to customer specifications. Each instrument
contains distinct operating limits and units of measurement. This chapter will show how to determine
and manipulate the configuration of the instrument.

The flow transmitter contains electrostatic discharge (ESD) sensitive devices. Use
standard ESD precautions when handling the flow transmitter. See Chapter 3, Installation
for ESD details.

Introduction
Start Up
Procedure
Operation
1. After the wiring has been verified, apply power to the flowmeter. (No special instructions for
instrument shutdown; turn operating power off.)
2. Then wait 10 minutes for warm-up. During this period the flowmeter may indicate high flow.
3. After power up the instrument automatically enters the flow metering mode and the display sets to
normal operation.
Display
The flowmeter contains a 4 x 20 character LCD display. Flow rate, temperature, and system status are
all accessible through the display.
Initialization Window
When power is applied to the flowmeter the display will briefly show the initialization window. See
Figure 15.

Normal Mode Window
The flowmeter upon power up defaults to the normal mode of operation and begins to display the flow
rate, the temperature, the total flow (if enabled ) and the current system status. The Normal Operation
