Example:
If you set the below limit at 65 gpm to 100 gpm.
and set your limit at -10/+10,
You will be alerted if the flow at the low end of the
scale fluctuates by more than 10 gallons per
minute in either direction.
That is less than 55 gpm or more than 75 gpm
Above:
This section allows you to enter the
fluctuation range for the high end of your normal
operating flow. Use the (-) and (+) entries to set the
range.
Note:
You will want to set this allowable range up a
little wider due to the amount of water flow.
Example:
If you set the above limit at 100 gallons per minute.
And set your limit at -15/+15.
You will be alerted if the flow at the high end of the
scale fluctuates by more than 15 gallons per
