PART 4 - STARTUP AND CONFIGURATION
Before Starting the Instrument
Note: Flow meter systems require a full pipe of liquid before a successful start-up can be
completed. Do not attempt to make adjustments or change configurations until a full pipe is
verified.
Note: If Dow 732 RTV was used to couple the transducers to the pipe, the adhesive must be
fully cured before readings are attempted. Dow 732 requires 24 hours to cure satisfactorily. If
Sonotemp® acoustic coupling grease was utilized as a couplant, curing is not required.
Instrument Startup
1. Verify that all wiring is properly connected and routed, as described in Part 1 of
this manual.
2. Verify that the transducers are properly mounted, as described in Part 2 of this
manual.
3. Apply power. The display briefly shows a software version number and then all of
the segments illuminate in succession.
Important!: In order to complete the installation of the flow meter, the
pipe must be full of liquid.
To verify proper installation and flow measurement operation:
1. Go to the SER MENU and confirm that signal strength (SIG STR) is between 5 and
98. If the signal strength is lower than 5, verify that proper transducer mounting
methods and liquid/pipe characteristics have been entered. To increase signal
strength, if a W-Mount transducer installation was selected, re-configure for a
V-Mount installation (standard from factory); if V-Mount was selected, re-
configure for Z-Mount.
Note: Mounting configuration changes apply only to FST4, FST5 transducer sets.
2. Verify that the actual measured liquid sound speed is within 2% of the value
entered as FLUID SS in the BSC MENU. The measured liquid sound speed (SSPD
FPS and SSPD MPS) is displayed in the SER MENU. The pipe must be full of liquid in
order to make this measurement.
Keypad Programming
Configure units with keypads using the keypad interface or by using the Windows®
compatible software utility. Units without a keypad can only be configured using the
software utility. See Part 5 of this manual for software details. Of the two methods
of configuration, the software utility provides more advanced features and offers
the ability to store and transfer meter configurations between meters. All entries
are saved in non-volatile flash memory and are retained indefinitely in the event of
power loss.
The four-key tactile feedback keypad interface allows the user to view and change
configuration parameters used by the operating system.

1. Press the MENU key from RUN mode to enter PROGRAM mode. Press the MENU key
in PROGRAM mode to exit from configuration parameter selection and menus. If
changes to any configuration parameters are made, the user is prompted with a
SAVE? when returning to RUN mode. Choose YES to save the new parameters in
program memory.
2. The arrow ▼ keys are used to scroll through menus and configuration
parameters. The arrow keys are also used to adjust parameter numerical values.
3. The ENTER key functions are:
• Pressed from the RUN mode to view the current software version
operating in the instrument.
• Used to access the configuration parameters in the various menus.
• Used to initiate changes in configuration parameters.
• Used to accept configuration parameter changes.
Menu Structure
The flow meter firmware uses a hierarchical menu structure. A map of the user
interface is included in the Appendix of this manual. The map provides a visual path
to the configuration parameters that users can access. Employ this tool each time
configuration parameters are accessed or revised.
The seven menus used in the software are as follows:
Menu
BSC
Basic. Contains all of the configuration parameters necessary to initially program
the meter to measure flow.
CH1
Channel 1. Configures the 4-20 mA output.
CH2
Channel 2. Configures the type and operating parameters for channel 2 output
options. Channel 2 parameters are specific to the model used.
SEN
Sensor. Used to select the sensor type (i.e. FST1, FST2, etc.).
SEC
Security. Used for resetting totalizers, returning filtering to factory settings, and
revising the security password.
SER
Service. Contains system settings used for advanced configuration and zeroing
the meter on the pipe.
DSP
Display. Used to configure meter display functions.
