Start-up Power- on and measurement • Before powering the system, please check that it has been correctly installed according to Sect. 1 and 2. • The flowmeter is delivered ready for operational use. All operating data have been factory set in accordance with your specifications. Please refer to Sect.
Factory settings All operating data are factory set according to your order specifications. If you have not made any particular specifications at the time of ordering, the instruments will be delivered with the standard parameters and functions listed in the Table below. To facilitate easy and rapid initial start-up, current output and pulse output are set to process flow measurement in “2 flow directions”, so that the current flowrate is displayed and the volumetric flow counted independent of the flow direction.
