Transport® Model PT878 Portable Liquid Flowmeter User’s Manual
3.2 Entering Transducer Parameters (cont.)
Note:
The choices made early in the Transducer and Pipe options
determine the prompts available later. If the PT878 does not scroll to
a particular parameter, it is not necessary for that transducer or pipe
type. For example, the Lining window is not available if you select a
wetted transducer.
2.
The next prompt asks you to enter the transducer number (printed on
the transducer itself), or to specify that you are using a special
application transducer.
a.
From the Type prompt, press the [
T
] key to reach the Transducer
prompt, and press
[ENTER]

A drop-down list of transducer numbers opens as in Figure 11 on
page 25. (The list varies, depending on whether you have selected
wetted or clamp-on in the previous prompt. See Table 4 on page 25.)
Press the [
T
] or [
S
] keys to scroll to the appropriate number, or
scroll to “Special” for a special application transducer. To speed
scrolling, you can press the [

Press
[ENTER]
to confirm your selection.
The program now varies, depending on whether you have selected standard
or special transducers.
