Rate of Flow
The rate of flow is factory programmed for gallons per minute and meters cubes per hour, depending on the unit of
measure selected The LCD displays both the unit of measure and rate of flow The rate of flow display also serves as the flow
finder indicator The rate of flow display is shown without leading zeros When rate of flow is displayed it is updated every
two seconds
Flow Direction
The direction of water flow is noted on the face of the electronics housing and cast into the meter housing
Consumption
The consumption display includes all nine digits, including leading zeroes and a decimal point The displayed value is the sum
of the forward flow minus the reverse flow This display also includes indicator lines above and below the digits to provide
the electronic equivalent of white and black number wheels on mechanical registers The following examples show typical
displays for three different units of measure:
3/4" and 1" Meters
1-1/2" and 2" Meters
