5.1.4 Total Flow Display The Tek-Vor 1300C can display 9 digits to the left of decimal point and 3 digits to the right of it. When there is more than 6 digits, the total flow reading will be displayed twice; first it will display digits on right, and then second the digits on left.
5.2 Parameter Setting The Tek-Vor 1300C Vortex Flowmeter has Digit and Code Setting functions. Use the Code Setting function to set parameters such as fluid type, compensation type, and output signal. Use the Digit Setting function to set parameters related to a number such as pipe size, flow range factor.
setting is available, the setting made will be cancelled and the display will not flash. If this happens, press “L-R” or “U-D” to set it again. When the display is not flashing, press “Enter” to save and go to the next setting. If the user wants to quit the code setting function, hold down “Enter”...
5.2.3 Setting Address • Code Setting Address NOTE If the unit of flow rate is changed or the measurement is changed from the flow rate to mass flow, users can reset the total flow to 0 or record the current total flow: Total flow= (number of times over total flow) * (maximum display of total flow) + (Current total flow reading)
