Computer Operation - Global Water FP101 User Manual

V. Computer Operation
a. The Flow Probe is calibrated at the factory. When you receive the
product, you may wish to set the computer'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 when you change
the unit's battery (See
life for the Flow Probe is 3 years or more.
b. The Flow Probe computer has a simple 2-button operation. The
bottom button scrolls between functions and the top button resets the
function's value. Pressing the top button for 3 seconds zeros the
average and maximum velocities. With a little practice, the buttons
can be pushed with the hand holding the top of the probe.
c. The computer functions are as follows:
• Velocity: The upper display number is the instantaneous velocity to
the nearest .5 foot (or meter, depending on units being used) per
second.
• The lower display number is used for the following functions:
average velocity(AVGSPEED), maximum velocity(MAXSPEED),
stop watch(STPWATCH) and CLOCK.
• The bottom button scrolls between these functions, and also
DIST/DAY, RIDETIME, TRIP UP, and TOTALODO which are not
used for this application.
• Push the top button for 3 seconds to reset the displayed function.
Push for 5 seconds to reset all velocity functions.
• Stop watch: While STPWATCH is displayed, pressing the top
button once will start the stop watch. Pressing a second time stops
the watch. Holding the button for 3 seconds clears it.
• Clock: The computer returns to the clock function after a period of
inactivity for the probe.
