FLOWMETER - local operator interface (LOI) - VL601 7-LOCAL OPERATOR INTERFACE (LOI) - VL601 LOI is an operator communications center for the FLOWMETER. Through the LOI, the operator can access any transmitter function for changing configuration parameter settings or other functions.
Page 12
FLOWMETER - local operator interface (LOI) - VL601 The VL601 programming module can be mounted and removed from the FLOWMETER without affecting the unit operation. Unscrewing the cap, the VL601 module can be mounted (by clockwise rotation until it clicks) or dismounted (by rotation counterclockwise) as shown in figure.
