All pertinent data, required by the microprocessor at power-up to re-initialize the system, is also stored in the same RAM. The Model 954 utilizes a 4-line by 20 character back lighted LCD display. A built in Totalizer, for each channel automatically recognizes the units of measure selected and adjusts the time base for the integrator accordingly.
FRONT PANEL MENU SELECT PURGE CLOSE ENTER ANNUNCIATORS: Displays OVERRIDE signal status of each channel. If annunciators are not illuminated, the Setpoint (Control) voltage is active.

(one per channel) on the Model 954 PCA (inside the housing). Please refer to the PCA schematic in Appendix A for the location of these jumpers. All Model 954 units come factory set for 15 Vdc valve circuit operation (unless ordered new with a 30 Vdc instrument).
START-UP The Model 954 has a 100 Vac, 115 Vac or 230 Vac, 50/60 Hz power selector switch located at the rear of the instrument. Please refer to page 4 to locate this switch. Verify the power selector switch is in the proper position prior to connecting the power cable to the unit.

MANUAL SETUP, Selecting Valve Override (Open, Close or Run) on page 9. The default at power-up is Valve Close. 16. If the Units of Measure are in flow units, The Model 954 automatically calculates TOTAL flow using a Riemann Sum Integration method. To display TOTAL or to reset the TOTAL display, refer to MANUAL/SETUP, Selecting Display (Flow or Total) on page 9.
MFC Setpoint control is activated. If the valve override does not appear to function correctly, you may need to re-configure The Model 954 using the 15/30 VDC jumpers on the PCA. Refer to page 6B to verify valve circuit configuration of The 954 is correct for your MFM or MFC.
