    Page 6 1 INTRODUCTION SYSTEM DESCRIPTION Functions and features The flowrate / totalizer model E018-P is an explosion proof microprocessor driven instrument designed to linearize the flowmeter’s flow curve and to show the flowrate, the total and the accumulated total. This product has been designed with a focus on: ...
  • Page 7 Page 7 Configuration of the unit The E018-P has been designed to be implemented in many types of applications. For that reason, a SETUP-level is available to configure the E018-P according to your specific requirements. It includes several important settings, such as K-factors, measurement units, signal selection etc. All settings are stored in an EEPROM memory and will not be lost in the event of a power failure or a drained battery.
