Sensor Direction
Sensor Flow Direction Arrow
is used to accommodate installations in which the Flow arrow on the sensor
does not match the majority of the process flow. This typically happens when the sensor is accidentally
installed backwards.
Sensor Flow Direction Arrow
interacts with
mA Output Direction
,
Frequency Output Direction
, and
Totalizer Direction
to control how flow is reported by the outputs and accumulated by the totalizers and
inventories.
Sensor Flow Direction Arrow
also affects how flow is reported on the transmitter display and via digital
communications. This includes ProLink III, the Field Communicator, and all other user interfaces.

Description
With Arrow
The majority of flow through the sensor matches the Flow arrow on the sensor. Actual
forward flow is processed as forward flow.
