3.5.4 Selecting mass flow units
1. Scroll to the desired Mass Flow units for the flow rate
display and press [

]. The available units for this prompt
are determined by the selection made at the System
Units screen. See Table 5 for the available units.
Table 5: Available mass flow units
English Metric
LB = Pounds Kilograms
KLB = Thousands of LB Metric Tons (1000 KG)
MMLB = Millions of LB
Tons (2000 LB)
2. Scroll to the desired Mass Flow Time units for the mass
flow rate display (from seconds to days ) and press [

].
3. Scroll to the desired number of Mdot Dec. Digits ( digits
to the right of the decimal point in the mass flow rate
display) and press [

].
4. Scroll to the desired Mass (Totalizer) units for the
totalized mass flow rate display and press [

]. The
available units for this prompt are determined by the
selection made at the System Units prompt.
5. Scroll to the desired number of Mass Dec. Digits ( digits
to the right of the decimal point in the totalized mass
flow rate display) and press [

].
6. After completing the above steps, the PanaFlow Z1G/
Z2G Process Gas Flowmeter returns to the Global
PROGRAM window. Press [

] and scroll to CH1 or CH2 to
continue the initial setup programming.
3.6 Activating a channel
The Channelx-ACTIV submenu permits selection of the
desired measurement method. In addition, it is used
to activate/deactivate one or both of the channels in a
2-Channel PanaFlow Z1G/Z2G Process Gas Flowmeter .
To access the Channelx-ACTIV submenu, proceed as follows:
1. From the
Keypad Program , scroll to CH1 or CH2 and
press [

].
2. In the Channel PROGRAM menu, scroll to ACTIV and
press [

].
3. Scroll to Burst to activate the channel/path, and press
[

].
Note: Burst is automatically selected for a 1-Channel meter.
4. Scroll to one of the measurement methods described
below and press [

].
• Skan Only is the preferred technique for locating the
acoustic signal and for high velocity measurements. It
is more robust in a noisy environment than the Measure
technique.
• Skan/Measure is the preferred technique to use for low
velocity measurements.
If Skan Only is selected at the above prompt, the meter
uses this technique exclusively. However, if Skan/Measure
is selected, the meter uses Skan Only to find the acoustic
signal and then tries to use the Skan/Measure technique for
the actual measurement.
After completing the above step, the meter returns to the
Channel PROGRAM menu. Proceed to the next section to
continue programming your meter.
3.7 Entering system data for a
channel
The Channelx-System submenu is used to enter system
parameters for the channel.

].
3. The next prompt asks for the Channel (Site) Message .
Enter the desired text in the same manner as the
channel label with up to 15 characters, and then press
[

].
3.7.2 Selecting volumetric units
1. Scroll to the desired Volumetric Units for the flow rate
display and press [

]. the available units are listed in
Table 6 below.
2. Scroll to the desired Volumetric Time units for the flow
rate display (from seconds to days ) and press [

].
3. Scroll to the desired number of Vol Decimal Digits ( digits
to the right of the decimal point in the volumetric flow
rate display) and press [

]
