Chapter 3. Initial setup
3.1 Introduction
This chapter provides instructions for programming the
data required to place the PanaFlow Z1G/Z2G Process Gas
Flowmeter into operation. Before the PanaFlow Z1G/Z2G
Process Gas Flowmeter can begin taking measurements
and displaying valid data, the current system and pipe
parameters must be entered.
Additional programming options provide access to the
more advanced features of the PanaFlow Z1G/Z2G Process
Gas Flowmeter , but this information is not required to begin
taking measurements.
Note: Be sure to record all programming data in Appendix B,
“Gas Process Flowmeter Service Record”.
As a guide in following the programming instructions in this
chapter, see Figure 16 on page 21 for the relevant portions of
the PanaFlow Z1G/Z2G Process Gas Flowmeter menu map.
3.2 Programming methods
You can program the PanaFlow Z1G/Z2G Process Gas
Flowmeter with the magnetic keypad on the electronics
enclosure, or with PanaView™, Panametrics’s PC-based
non-resident software program that communicates with the
PanaFlow Z1G/Z2G Process Gas Flowmeter via its serial port.
PanaView provides additional programming capabilities,
such as:
• Load and save site file data
• Create and save graph and log files
• Display text output and graphs of live measurement
data
• Create custom templates for displaying text, graph, and
log data
• Interface with multiple Panametrics instruments.
This chapter focuses on programming via the magnetic
keypad. For information on programming the PanaFlow
Z1G/Z2G Process Gas Flowmeter via PanaView , refer to the
PanaView User’s Manual (Panametrics document #910-211).
3.3 The magnetic keypad
The glass window on the electronics enclosure includes the
components shown in Figure 15 below.

IMPORTANT:
The PanaFlow Z1G/Z2G Process Gas Flowmeter magnetic
keypad enables programming of the instrument through
the glass faceplate without removing the cover. Thus, all
programming procedures may be performed while the
unit is installed in a hazardous area.
The six keys on the magnetic keypad (see Table 3 below)
enable users to program the PanaFlow Z1G/Z2G Process Gas
Flowmeter .
