RUN
The main display shows the units selected from the Units/Mode menu,
Flow or Velocity rate being measured, TOTALIZER. The PDFM 5.0 will
start-up with this display and will return to this screen after a timeout if
keys are not pressed in other menus.
MESSAGE
Press
Ç
from the RUN display to view status of the data logger and
error/warning messages provided by the instrument. The word Message

STATUS
Press
È
from the RUN display to view instrument status. Velocity will be
displayed in ft/sec or m/sec.
Tot
Displays the current totalizer reading.
Signal Cutoff
Adjust the setting in percent to suppress flow readings
at zero flow when fluid swirling or pipe vibration may cause the
instrument to continue reading. Example: Signal Cutoff at 5% will force
the display and outputs to zero when signal strength drops below 5%.
Signal Strength
Displays percentage of signal being received by the
ultrasonic sensor.
Sig Confidence
This indicates consistent or widely varying flow rates
and helps gauge the quality of the velocity signal in the application.
20mA at
Displays the flow rate set as 20mA in the Calibration menu.
