4.2 START-UP / OPERATION

After power and signal wiring has been verified in accordance with section 
3.4, activate the external 24 VAC / 24 VDC power source.
1.  Press the power button located on the bottom left corner of the front 

cover to turn the system ON.

2.  The display will show a loading bar. After reaching 100%, the display 

will indicate which sensors have been discovered for approximately 2 
seconds. Then the normal operating screen will be displayed. 

The default normal operating screen will display Total Flow on the first 
process line, Velocity (average of all enabled sensors) on the second 
process line and Temperature (average of all enabled sensors) on the third 
process line. Application tagging information is at the bottom of the screen 
and is customer configurable.
