Selected batch value will be dis- played in the Ve option line. Batch values for BATCH1…BATCH8 are entered in the window SETTINGS / Batch list / BATCH SETUP X be- fore batching process starts.
3.3. Viewing logs and historical data 3.3.1. To view log records select the log type Data logs / View data logs / DATA LOGS CHANNEL X / Hourly log (Daily log, Monthly log, In- terval log, Batch log). Then select the required log interval using but- tons and view logged values pressing buttons The last line of hourly, daily, monthly and interval logs contains the...
4. TROUBLESHOOTING 4.1. To check the flowmeter functionality most fully make sure that measured values are displayed and that all setting parameters are entered and set within the required range. 4.2. In self-test mode, the flowmeter has the automatic monitoring functional- ity which displays flowmeter status words which register alarm situa- tions, failures and faults.
