When the text refers to a keypad key, it will be enclosed in "less than" (<) and "greater than" (>)
symbols: e.g., <MENU>, <ENT>, <Up Arrow>, etc. Where a visual of the key is shown; this means
press this key.

GENERAL INSTALLATION MENU NOTES

If a power failure occurs while you are entering or editing data, the entered data may not be retained
in Active Memory.
Although you can operate the meter immediately after completion of a site setup, we recommend
that you preserve your settings by saving them under a site name. Site data can be saved at any
time before invoking [Recall Site Setup] or [Create/Rename Site] commands. These commands
overwrite all data present in Active Memory.
We do not recommend that you attempt to operate the flowmeter at a new site by recalling and then
editing an existing site setup. Each site must have its own set of transducer install parameters,
even if the data from the recalled site setup is identical. Always issue the [Create/Rename Site] to
begin a new site setup. This will fill all the menu cells with defaults to eliminate the possibility of
retaining unwanted parameters.
The meter allows you to create your own personal site setup defaults. After creating a site setup
and editing default parameters as desired, save the site using the name [FASTSTRT]. The next
time you issue the Create/Name Site command, your custom parameters will become the sys-
tems defaults.
