Flow Unit
U
This parameter establishes the unit of measure for the flow rate and full scale flow . Changing this
parameter readjusts the full scale flow parameter . For example, changing from GPM to GPS would
change the full scale flow from 60 gal/min to 1 gal/s .

Full Scale Flow
S
This parameter sets the maximum flow that the system is expected to measure . This parameter has
influence on other system parameters, which include:
• Low Flow Cutoff – Changes to full scale flow affect the measuring cut-off threshold of the meter
• Alarm Outputs – Changes to full scale flow adjusts the thresholds for generating setpoint alarms
• Pulse Outputs – Changes to full scale flow adjusts the pulse frequency and duty cycle
Change the full scale flow based on the meter size and the application’s requirements . Verify that the
full scale flow falls within the meter’s suggested flow range limits .
Flow Range: 0 .1…32 .8 ft/s (0 .03…10 m/s)
The full scale flow is valid for both flow directions .
OTEE: N If the flow rate exceeds the full scale setting of more than 100%, a FLOW_OVERLOAD_
WARNING message indicates that the configured full scale range has been exceeded . However,
the meter will continue to measure . This will affect the latency of the pulse outputs and
possibly cause overflow .
