Overview
MANUAL ENTRY MODE
FLOW METERS VERSIONS
61+
Previously, all settings depended upon the switches mounted on the processor
board. Since software versions 60.XX.59, we have had a feature that is referred (
to as the Manual Entry Mode. In this mode, the Flow Meter settings are stored
as two groups:
Group J
and
Group 2
both shown in the table below.

• This function is only applicable to DC systems.
Group l
may be set up in one of two ways. Either program the information (
into the non volatile memory of the unit using Manual Entry Mode or use the
switches to select the
Group J
values.
Group 2
can no longer be set using the switches. These items must be set up by
programming the unit in
Manual Entry Mode.
Manual Entry A/ode
can be accessed in two ways, one which provides access to
both Group J
and
Group 2
values, and one which provides access to only
Group 2 values. The access to Group 2 values can be obtained while the unit is
installed in the aircraft. Access to Group l however, requires removal of the
unit to adjust switch settings.
Operate Mode vs. Calibrate Mode*
FE: If Switch 1 is set to F and Switch 2 is set to E, the unit is in the
Calibrate Mode.
This is the only mode which will allow the setting of
Group l values into the non-volatile memory of the
unit.
Once
installed in the aircraft, this mode is no longer accessible. In this (
mode,
both
Groups can
be
set.
