8.6.2 choosing the flow rate units, the number of decimals and
the units of the totalizers
When the flow rate unit has been changed:
• Manually reset both totalizers.
• Manually convert the flow rate values in the different settings.
• If, furthermore, the unit changes from "metric" to "gallon" and vice versa, convert the K factor using fol-
lowing formulae:
- K factor in pulse/US Gallon = K factor in pulse/l x 3,785
- K factor in pulse/IMP Gallon = K factor in pulse/l x 4,546
The max. flow rate that can be displayed depends on the number of decimals chosen:
• 9999 if the number of decimals = 0 or AUTO,
• 999,9 if the number of decimals = 1,
• 99,99 if the number of decimals = 2,
• 9,999 if the number of decimals = 3.
• If the units chosen for the totalizers is "millilitre", the totalizer values are displayed in litres followed by
three decimals.
• If the units chosen for the totalizers is "litre", the totalizer values are displayed in litres without decimals.
The "UNIT" parameter makes it possible to choose:
• the flow rate units.
• a fixed number of decimals (choose 0, 1, 2 or 3) to display the flow rate in the Process level, or a floating
decimal point (choose "AUTO"): the device automatically adjusts the position of the decimal point depending
on the chosen unit and the measured flow rate.
• the volume units of the totalizers if the unit previously chosen is in litres, in millilitres or in m
are automatically displayed in gallons if the flow rate unit chosen is in gallons.
