User Defined Parameters
The System, Section, Path, Input, and Output parameters can be accessed from the HOME screen by
pressing the Parameter icon and selecting the appropriate parameter tab on the bottom of the screen.

System Parameters

These parameters define the overall configuration of the flowmeter.
PIPE / COMPOUND 0 /1
ENGLISH / METRIC 0/1
FLOW SCALING
VOLUME SCALING
ANALOG OUT SCALING
Set to 0 (zero) to select "Pipe" mode for all sections.
Set to 1 to select "Open Channel/Compound" mode
Selects the units of the Parameters and Variables of the flowmeter.
For English units (feet) set to 0.
The flowmeter calculates flow in either English or Metric units defined by the
parameter below. If English is chosen, flow will be in ft
To express flow in alternative units, the value for the Flow may be multiplied by the
FLOW SCALING parameter.
This scaled flow is output to the display, the analog outputs and RS232 ports.
For English units:
 3
Flow in ft /s

Flow in MGD
For Metric units:
 3
Flow in m /s

Flow in MLD

Flow in l/s

3
Flow in m /hr
Sets the scaling of the totalized flow.
For English units:
 3
Flow in ft /s, Volume in 1000 ft
 3
Flow in ft /s, Volume in Acre-feet

Flow in MGD, Volume in Million gals
For Metric units:
 3
Flow in m /s, Volume in 1000m

Flow in MLD, Volume in Mega liters

Flow in l/s, Volume in m
 3
Flow in m /hr., Volume in 1000m
A factory set parameter. This value should be factory set to 0.25
