parameters configured last time by the user or by the initial program. 
 
The flow measurement program  always  operates in the background  of the user interface. 
This  means  the  flow  measurement  will  keep  on  running  regardless  of  any  user  menu 
window browsing or viewing. Only when the user enters new pipe parameters will the flow 
meter change measurement to the new parameter changes. 

 
 
When new pipe parameters have been entered or when the power has just been switched 
on, the flow meter will enter  an adjusting mode to make the signals magnified with proper 
amplification.  By  this  step,  the  flow  meter  is  going  to  find

 

the  best  threshold  of  receiving 

signal. The user will see the progress by the number 1, 2, or 3, which are indicated on the 
right lower corner of the LCD display.   
 
When  the  transducers  have  been  adjusted  on  the  pipe  by  the  user,  the  flow  meter  will 
re-adjust the signal automatically.     
 
Any  user-entered  configuration  value  will  be  retained  into  the  NVRAM  of  the  flow  meter, 
until it is modified by the user.   

2.3 Keypad   

The  keypad  for  the  operation  of  the  flow  meter  has  16+2  keys,  as  shown  by  the  right 
picture. 
 
Keys    0 ~    9    and    .    are keys to enter numbers   
Key   

/+ is the going UP key, when the user wants to go to 

the  upper  menu  window.  It  also  works  as  the  “+”  key  when 
entering numbers   
Key 

/- is the going DOW N key, when the user wants to go 

down-sided menu window. It also works  as the “–” key when 
entering numbers. 
Key   

    is  backspace  key,  when  the  user  wants  go  left  or 

wants backspace the left character that is located to the left of 
the cursor.   
Key ENT is the ENTER key for any inputting or selections.   
Key  MENU is the key for the direct menu window jump over. 
Whenever the user wants to proceed to a certain menu window, the user can press this key 
followed by 2-digit numbers. 
The  MENU key is shortened as the ‘M’ key afterward when referring to the menu windows. 
The    ON    key is for the power on. 
The    OFF    key is for the power off.
