2.2 Flowmeter Setup
NOTE: The following instructions require the use of the keypad and the menu. The
installer should become familiar with their use before proceeding further.
2.2.1 Switch the flowmeter on. Press the <MENU> key.
2.2.2 On multi-channel flowmeters, use the arrow keys to select [Dual Channel Flow] or
[Dual Beam Flow] depending on the mode utilized for the wet-flow calibration.
2.2.3 Use the arrow keys to select either [Clamp-on], [Flow Tube] or [Clamp-on Spool].
2.2.4 Select [Full Site Setup] and use the <Right Arrow> to select [Channel Setup]; then
select [Recall Site Setup].
2.2.5 Use the <Down Arrow> to scroll to the site name indicated on the Calibration Diagnos-
tic Data Sheet. Then press <ENT>.
2.2.6 The meter will perform a momentary "Makeup" routine that will take a few seconds and
then begin operation.
2.2.7 Refer to your 1010 field manual for instructions on setting zero flow.
NOTE: Setting zero flow must be performed each time the transducers are installed.
The zero adjustment has no effect on the wet-flow calibration data or the cali-
bration (Kc) factor.
2.2.8 Using the arrow keys, scroll to the Data Span/Set/Cal menu location. Verify that the [Kc]
(calibration) factor matches the value indicated on the diagnostic data sheet.
2.2.9 If you are measuring a liquid other than ambient water, select the [Liquid Class] menu
cell and <Down Arrow> from there to [Viscosity]. Enter the correct viscosity for the
liquid you will be monitoring.
2.2.10 Setup is now complete. Press the <MENU> key twice to view the flow rate display. DO
NOT utilize the [Save Site] command when it appears.
2.2.11 When measurements are completed, simply turn off the meter. DO NOT save the site.
This might contaminate the wet-flow calibration data already stored.
NOTE: Contact Siemens' Technical Services Department if any flow calibration data is
accidentally removed or overwritten.
