THE 1010P INSTALLATION MENU

Programming System 1010P requires no special experience or training. This field manual contains all
the necessary information. If you intend to connect this instrument to an external device, then please
have the instruction manual for the device available for reference. The following paragraphs present a
generic menu reference that applies to all configurations of 1010 Portable meters. Please refer to the
Reflexor and Flow Tube sections for instructions specific to those operating modes.
This section contains a general description of how to enter site setup data via the 1010P Installation
Menu. It assumes that you have already selected a meter type as described in the Getting Started
section. For convenience, it presents the Installation Menu in the same sequence as it appears on the
menu screen. Please note, however, that it is not necessary to program the meter sequentially.
Review of Manual Conventions
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.
When the text refers to a menu or menu cell name, it will be enclosed with square brackets: e.g.,
[Pipe Data], [Channel Enable], etc.
Each menu includes an image of its main screen and a diagram of its structure. The rightmost
column of the structure diagram lists the option list choices of the menu cell, if applicable.
Review of 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.
