4.4 Configuring a Channel in Flow Rate Mode

The following sections describe the parameters that are available for configuration for a
channel which has been set to flow rate mode.

4.4.1 Configuring Source

You can configure a "Source" descriptor to be transmitted with the flow rate reading which is
used to provide an indication of the source of the flow rate data for this channel. Choices are
as follows:
 Fuel
 Fresh Water
 Waste Water
 Live Well
 Oil
 Black Water (Sewage)

4.4.2 Configuring Instance Number

Program this parameter to match the desired instance number of the flow rate reading for this
channel. You can program this parameter to any value between 0 and 252.

4.4.3 Units, Range, and Resolution

Maretron display products and software support the following units for display of flow rate, with
the range and resolution shown in the following table (NOTE: the resolution may be further
limited by the capabilities of the CLM100; please refer to section 1.7 for details).
Unit
Gal(Imp)/h
Liter/h
Gal(US)/h
Gal(Imp)min
Liter/min
Gal(US)/min

4.4.4 Configuring Label

Program this parameter with a text string which identifies the particular parameter being
monitored by this channel. Maretron display products will display this label text when you are
selecting data to display.

4.4.5 Configuring Flow Rate at 4mA

Program this parameter to match the reading of the flow rate transducer when it is sourcing a
current of 4mA. You can determine this value by examining the specification of the flow rate
transducer being used.
