USING FASTSTART SETUP

The dual-channel clamp-on mode offers a choice of using FastStart Setup or Full Site Setup to create
your site setup. As its name implies, FastStart Setup is a quick way to start up the meter. FastStart inserts
default settings into all applicable menu cells. However, these can be edited later via the Full Site Setup
menu. In order to use FastStart Setup:
Your pipe must be included on the meter's pre-set pipe table.
z
Your liquid is water, or has similar sonic characteristics.

FastStart setup is actually a shortcut to these two menu locations (where data entry is mandatory for a
successful start-up):
Pipe Data: The Pipe Data Menu is limited to the selection of pipe pre-sets only. There are
z
no provisions for manual pipe editing.
Pick Install Xdcr: This is the same menu as Full Menu Setup (see paragraph 1.7).

1.8.1 CHOOSING THE PIPE CLASS/SIZE

Press <Right Arrow> to access [FastStart Setup]. This selects [Choose Pipe Class]. There are over sixty
English and metric pipe sizes for eight different classes of pipes. Picking a pipe class and size automatically
sets all the required pipe parameters using industry standard dimensional data.
Press <Right Arrow> to access the [Pipe Class] option list. Note that although [Manual Entry] exists on
this list, it is inactive for FastStart Setup (see paragraph 2.2.1).
In this example, we will pick the pipe class: [ASA Carbon Steel] by moving the cursor to the selection
and then pressing <ENT>.
