1.1 Introduction

The Model XGS868i flow transmitter must be properly installed and programmed, as described in the Startup Guide,
before it can provide accurate flow rate measurements. After completing the installation and initial setup, use this
chapter to program the advanced features of the Model XGS868i's Keypad Program.
Step-by-step programming instructions are presented in this chapter. Also, as a programming aid, a complete set of
menu maps for the XGS868i are included in Appendix A, Menu Maps. The specific figure numbers will be referenced
throughout this chapter, as required.
Refer to the appropriate section for a discussion of the following Keypad Program features.
Channelx-ACTIV - activate one or both channels and Scroll to the desired measurement method.
Channelx-SYSTM - enter the individual channel parameters.
Channelx-PIPE - enter the pipe geometry and other parameters.
Channelx-I/O - set up the inputs and outputs.
Channelx-SETUP - set the signal limits, response times and mass flow status.
Global-SYSTM - Scroll to system units (English or metric).
Global-I/O - set up error handling, option cards and the display.
Global-COMM - set the serial port parameters.
Note: The "x" in CHx represents the channel number. If you are using a 1-Channel meter, only CH1 will appear.
To get the XGS868i up and running as quickly as possible you must, as a minimum, activate the channel(s), enter the
channel and global system data and the pipe parameters. The Procedure Options section at the end of each menu will
help you in programming the required (quick startup) and optional data.
Note: In this manual, only the programming of Channel 1 will be described. To program Channel 2 of a 2-channel
meter, simply repeat the same procedure presented for Channel 1.
