The following tables list and explain the parameters The tables are divided into three main sections:
• Setup parameters
• Module configuration parameters
• Advanced setup parameters
Setup Parameters
The setup menu contains all of the configuration parameters necessary to make the transmitter operational

Description
ID UNITS
Measurement
standard
ENGLSH (Inches)
METRIC (Millimeters)
Selects the unit of measure for pipe ID entry
ID
Pipe inside
diameter
(Enter a numeric value) Enter the pipe inside diameter in inches if
ENGLSH
was selected as
UNITS
; in millimeters if
METRIC
was selected
DISPLAY
Display mode
RATE
TOTAL
BOTH
DIA
To display only the Flow Rate, select
OATE
To display only the Flow Total, select
TOTAL
To
alternately display the Flow Rate and the Total, select
BOTH
By selecting BOTH, the display
switches between RATE and TOTAL every 7 seconds
The
DIA
selection places the display in the diagnostics mode When selected, the display shows
the measured frequency, the gain setting and the signal strength
RATE UNT
Engineering units
for flow rate
Select an engineering unit for flow rate measurements When Pounds (LBS) or Kilograms (KGS) is selected, the specific
gravity for the fluid type must be entered for the
SP GOAV

TOTL MUL
Flow totalizer
multiplier value
0 01…1,000,000
Used for setting the flow totalizer exponent This feature is useful for accommodating a very
large accumulated flow The exponent is a ×10
n
multiplier, where “n” can be from -2 (×0 01) to +6
(×1,000,000) Reference the table below for valid entries and their influence on the DFX meter

SP GRAV
Fluid specific
gravity
(Enter a numeric value)
Allows adjustments to be made to the specific gravity (density relative to water) of the liquid
If Pounds (LBS) or Kilograms (KGS) is selected for either the RATE UNT or the TOTL UNT, a specific
gravity must be entered for the correct mass flow to be calculated A list of fluids and their
associated specific gravities is located in
FL C-OFF
Low flow cutoff
(Enter a numeric value)
A Low Flow Cutoff entry is provided to allow very low flow rates (that can be present when
pumps are off and valves are closed) to be displayed as Zero flow The value entered is in
actual
rate units
