Powering Up - GE DigitalFlow GS868 Startup Manual

Chapter 3. Operation

3.2 Powering Up

Because the Model GS868 does not have an ON/OFF switch, it will power up as soon as the connected power source is
energized.
Note: For compliance with the European Union's Low Voltage Directive, this unit requires an external power
disconnect device such as a switch or circuit breaker. The disconnect device must be marked as such, clearly
visible, directly accessible, and located within 1.8 m (6 ft) of the Model GS868.
Immediately upon power up, the Model GS868 displays the GE logo and the software version in the left pane of the
display window. The Model GS868 performs a series of internal checks and display the results in the right pane of the
display window.
Note: If the Model GS868 fails any of the internal checks, try disconnecting the power and then re-powering the unit.
If the Model GS868 continues to fail any of the internal checks, contact the factory for assistance.
After successfully performing the internal checks, the Model GS868 begins taking measurements. The power up
display is replaced by a measurement mode display similar to that shown in Figure 13 below.
Note: As a minimum, the system and pipe parameters (for each installed channel of a 2-channel meter) must be
entered before the Model GS868 can display valid data. Refer to Chapter 2, Initial Setup, for specific
instructions.
Proceed to the next section for a description of the components of the Model GS868 display screen.
