Flow direction

Description
The calibrated flow direction is indicated by the arrow on the sensor. If the system requires
installation of the sensor with the flow running in the opposite direction, the Flow Direction
parameter must be changed from Positive to Negative to totalize correctly. The sensitivity
and the accuracy of the sensor do not change with reverse flow.
Define positive and negative flow direction. Default positive flow direction is indicated by the
arrow on the sensor.

Preamplifier Setting

Description
Preamplifier settings
Access level: Expert user only
Auto (default): Will automatically turn on the pre-amplifier if the sensor type is clamp-on.
Off: Turns off the pre-amplifier regardless of the sensor type (inline or clamp-on).
On: Turns on the pre-amplifier regardless of the sensor type (inline or clamp-on).
Half transmit amplitude: Reduces the transmit signal from the default ±10 volts to ±5 volts
and turns off the pre-amplifier. This may be necessary for the smaller SONO sensors which
can saturate the amplifiers even with the pre-amp off.
