Advanced Setup - H2flow FlowVis Digital Operating Manual

advanced setup

Although FlowVis Digital will function as a flow meter without further steps, there are several very useful features that can be
accessed via the 'advanced setup' procedures. These features comprise:
• Display of the pool turnover rate
• Changing the display's appearance at a user-defined flow rate
• Programming an (optional) auxiliary relay to operate external equipment such as a Heater or Chemical Feed System, to
only operate at user defined flow rates
Programming the advanced features will require a Windows-based laptop PC. The initial step is to download the Advanced
Panel Display Software from the internet, we recommend that this be done in an office environment rather than the pool
equipment room. Note: there is no requirement to connect the laptop to the Display during this initial step.
The laptop PC will require the following:
• Running either a Windows 7, 8, or 10 operating system, using either a 32 or 64-bit configuration
• Microsoft .NET Framework (if you don't have this, it can be downloaded from www.microsoft.com/net
• A spare USB 2.0 port (for later connection to the Display)
• An internet connection
Step 1 - Download and install the 'Advanced Panel Display' Configurator Software:
Launch an internet browser page and go to www.h2flow.net/flowvis-digital-flow-meter and locate the 'Configurator' section,
either by click on the tab titled 'Configurator' in the page header, or by scrolling down the page to this section.
Click on the 'Configurator Download' button. When the Configurator has finished
downloading, open the file, either from your Downloads folder, or from the bar at
the bottom of your browser. Follow the prompts provided by the Setup Wizard
and when asked, click on 'Save As'. Save the file to either your preferred location
or to the Desktop. The default file name will be APM Configurator.
After downloading the file, double-click on the icon labelled 'APM Configurator'.
You should then see the following image (right) on your desktop (Fig 3.1):
Click on the 'Updates' tab and make sure that the 'Automatic Updates'
option is checked. If the 'Automatic Updates' was not checked, please do so,
close the program and re-launch. If new updates are available, they will be
automatically downloaded and saved to your PC.
The Configurator program has now been successfully installed and your
laptop is ready to connect to the FlowVis Display.
