The FLOW READING screen is the one most used during normal monitoring operation. It shows the
instantaneous fluid flow together with totalised values (when enabled). In this mode you can select the flow rate
measurement units by pressing keys 7 (litres), 8 (Gallons) or 9 (m³), or change the display to show velocity by
pressing key 4.

Managing Named Sites
If you want to monitor a particular site location frequently you can set up a named ‘Site’ to store the installation
details, such as pipe dimensions and material, required to set-up the Portaflow PT500 system. These can then be
recalled later when revisiting that particular location.
The instrument can store up to 20 sites, the first site is reserved for QUICK START and cannot be renamed;
subsequent sites are initially named EmptySite1 through to EmptySite19.
