Annex FLUXUS H721 A Menu structure Example 2 The storage rate of all measured and diagnostic values of a certain temperature range is to be changed. The normal storage rate of all measured and diagnostic values is 1 h. If the temperature is outside the defined range of 20...40 °C, the storage rate should be 1 min.

The following tables provide assistance for the user. The accuracy of the data depends on the composition, temperature and processing of the material. FLEXIM does not assume liability for any inaccuracies. Sound speed of selected pipe and lining materials at 20 °C The values of some of these materials are stored in the internal database of the transmitter.
