Programming Using Pulse Output Turbine
Flow Meters
Each turbine flow meter is shipped with either a K-factor value
or frequency data. If frequency data is provided, the data must
be converted to a K-factor before programming the monitor.
Kfactor information, when supplied, can usually be found on the
neck of the flow meter or stamped on the body. The K-factor
represents the number of pulses per unit of volume. The K factor
will be needed to program the monitor readout.
Enter Programming Mode
Change to programming mode by pressing the MENU button once.
The mode indicator will change from RUN to PROGRAM.
Select the Meter Size
At the METER prompt, press the UP or RIGHT arrow keys to select
the bore size of your meter. Press ENTER button once to save me
-
ter size choices and advance to the K-factor units selection.
Note
The meter connection size and the bore size are different.
For example, many of the 1” NPT turbines have bore sizes that
range from 3/8” up to 1”. Be sure to use the correct bore size
or the meter will report incorrect flows and totals.
Note
Unless otherwise specified, Kimray turbine flow meters
are supplied with K-factors measured in pulses per
gallon (PUL/GAL) which will automatically convert to
your desired units of measure.
Note
The K-factor supplied with the meter or calculated
from calibration data will be needed to complete next step.
Enter the Meter’s K-Factor Unit
Directly after the METER size is selected, the display’s K-factor unit
must be chosen. Use the UP arrow key to select your K-factor unit.
For meters calibrated in gallons, use PUL/GAL (pulses per gallon),
for meters calibrated in cubic meters, use PUL/ M3 (pulses per cubic
meter), etc. Press ENTER to save the Kfactor unit and advance to the
next parameter.
Enter the Meter’s K-Factor
To change the KFACTOR value, use the RIGHT arrow key and select
the position of the number that you wish to change. Using the UP
arrow key, increment the display digit until it matches the meter’s
K-factor digit. Repeat this process until all K-factor digits have been
entered. Press ENTER once to save the K-factor and advance to the
RATE/TOTAL Units selection.
Select the Rate/Total Units of Measure
The monitor allows the choice of five common rate/total units. The
monitor shows the rate/total unit that the display is currently set for.
If the current selection is current, press the ENTER key once to ad

vance to the next parameter. To change to an alternate unit, use the
arrow keys to scroll to the desired rate unit and press ENTER to save
the choice.
