8.2.2 Display layout in measuring mode (ZOE-ZX) 8.3 Menu Mode 8.3.1 General In the menu, all device parameters can be set. The individual parameters are organized into groups according to their function. While the menu mode is turned on, the input signal detection and pulse output are still active in the background. After leaving the menu mode, all display parameters are then updated again in measurement mode.

8.3.2 Parameter setting Measuring mode Menu mode-Main group Menu mode Parameter selection mode-Sub group To activate the Menu mode, the button must be pressed for 3-5 sec. The parameters are divided into main groups and subgroups. For selection of main groups, buttons are used.
8.3.3 Numerical value input While setting parameters with numerical value, the value to be set is always displayed above the parameter. The maximum size and the number of decimal places are fixed and cannot be changed. While setting the numerical value of a parameter, the left outer position starts blinking first indicating the position of the cursor.

In addition, a jump detector is integrated in the filter function, which monitors whether the current measured value has greatly changed compared to the last filtered measured value. With the parameter "jump threshold", the level of threshold is defined. If this „jump threshold „ is exceeded, the filter function is bypassed depending on parameter „jump factor“, thus achieving a faster response time with respect to rapid changes in flow.

With active linearization function, the number of linearization points for parameter „linearization points“(in addition to point A0) is set fixed. Depending on the setting of this parameter, the other input parameters are shown in the menu. Input signals above the last point linearization are processed with the pulse rate of the last point. Conditions for the base sequence: The sensor curve must be monotonically increasing, since the frequency values increase continuously with increasing flow.
9.5 Rate 9.5.1 Rate / Measuring rate Parameter "Measuring rate" specifies the time interval within which the input signal is recorded, the flow rate is calculated and brought to display. The condition of all other outputs which depends on the flow rate (analogue output, switching outputs and status output) will be recalculated after the measurement time.
9.6 Counter All electronics have options of a (non-resettable) totalizer and a (resettable) partial totalizer for the connected input. The status of all active counters can be displayed in the "INFOSTAT" menu. 9.6.1 Counter / Volume Unit Parameter "volume unit" defines the unit volume of all volumetric counters. There are listed volume units to choose from.
Since some useful information cannot be displayed in this case, it is recommended to use a bigger unit to avoid the loss or to use the smaller display for totalizers. 9.7 Pulse output (only with ZOE-ZE Supply option 3) A scalable pulse output is available for the options ZOE-ZExxxx3xx. When the pulse output is enabled, a scaled pulse output train is given at the output to the input pulses.
If the user's password has been changed from "00000", password request will be generated on next entry to User menu. If the default password has been forgotten or misplaced, the master password can be requested from KOBOLD. 9.8.2 User service / Reset By activating this function, the user can reset the device to factory settings.
