Computer Operation - Global Water FP101 User Manual

The Flow Probe is calibrated at the factory. When you receive the product, you may wish to set the comput-
er's clock (see Computer Set-Up), otherwise you should not have to alter any of your computer settings. You
will have to recalibrate the computer if you wish to change measuring units (English/Metric), and when you
change your unit's batteries (see Computer Set-Up). Normal battery life for the Flow Probe is 1 year or more.
The Flow Probe computer has a simple 2- button operation. The right button scrolls between functions and
the left button picks the option. Pushing both buttons for 1 second zeros the average and maximum veloci-
ties. With a little practice, one or both buttons can be pushed with the thumb of the hand holding the top of
the probe.
Push the right button to scroll through the following functions:
• Velocity: "V" is instantaneous velocity to the nearest 0.1 foot per second.
Push Left button to scroll between "av" (average velocity) and "mx" (maximum velocity).
Push both buttons to zero the displayed values ("RMS" is not activated at this time).
• "D" Function: Not used for this application.
• Stop Watch/Clock Function: The top number is the stop watch (push the left button to start and stop
the function, push both buttons to zero). The bottom number is the time of day.
