Using the Programmer Software
Change Current Settings
To change the encoder settings and set a new default value for any of the data fields, follow this procedure .
1 . Click the drop-down menu to the right of the
field to display a list of values .
2 . Click the value you want to set as the default
for that field .
OTEE: N
The field label changes to bold text, indicating
a new, unprogrammed value is selected . See
Figure 13 .
OTEE: N
You must set the default value for the
Meter Type field before you set the
Meter Model / Size . The Unit of Measure value
does not have to be the same as the
Rate of Flow Units. (Even in a cubic foot meter,
the flow rate can be gallons per minute .)

Apply Current Settings
If you make a change on the Programmer screen, you must apply the change to the encoder .
With the IR head aligned, click Apply Current Settings to program the new values to the encoder .
The new values display on the
Programmer screen and the field labels are no longer bold . The encoder also goes into storage
mode . In storage mode, the encoder displays the meter type, digit resolution from the encoder and unit of measure . This is an
example of an encoder display of a Model 25 Disc Meter with a 9-digit output, measuring in gallons:

Updating Multiple Encoders
If you have multiple encoders to program with the same settings, attach the IR head bracket with the IR cable to each
encoder, one at a time, and click Apply Current Settings to program each encoder with the same settings .
