Totalizer

In this screen you can configure the totalizer operation mode depending on the flow
direction. Thus, the value indicated by the totalizer will always be true regardless of the
application where the flowmeter is installed.
The first screen after selecting "Totalizer" is the following:
In this screen you can choose the flow direction for which you want to configure the action
that the totalizer will do.
Positive flow is defined as the one that appears unsigned on the default screen, and negative
flow the one that appears with a — sign on the default screen.
Once the flow rate direction is chosen, a screen with the different actions is shown:
If "Null" is selected, the totalizer remains unchanged. If "Increase" is selected, the totalizer will
add the amount of fluid passing through the flowmeter, and if you select "Decrease", the
totalizer will subtract that amount.
Examples:
a) Installation in which for a time the product flows through the pipe and after that a
cleaning process in reverse direction is performed. The programming will be:
Positive flow rate action: Increase
Negative flow rate action: Null
b) Installation in which for a time the product flows through the pipe to a tank, and after
that a quantity of the product comes back in the opposite direction. The
programming will be:
Positive flow rate action: Increase
Negative flow rate action: Decrease
The totalizer will indicate the volume of product that there is in the tank.
