Operation 

 
This section of the manual describes the basic operation of the unit.  Configuration of the 
parameters such as duct area, analog output range, correction factors, meter 
identification or tags, etc. are covered elsewhere. 
 
When the unit powers ON, various start up screens display the progress of the meter's 
start up initialization before finally displaying the 

Run Mode

 display.  The default 

Run 

Mode

 display will show the meter's Tag Name and the Flow.  The 

Run Mode

 display can 

be configured to display other meter variables (

see section below

).   

 
If the cover is removed, as shown in the picture, the optional keypad is accessible to 
view/change the flow meter’s parameters.  The Keypad/LCD are shown here with the 
flow body on the bottom and power/signal conduit ports on the top left and right.  The 
display will mount on any 90 

°

 angle within the enclosure.  Local user input is done by 

pressing the center of the keys on the membrane keypad.  Kurz Instruments, 
recommends using a pencil eraser.  The 

P, D, L, E,

 and 

H

 keys provide the primary 

navigation functions of the onboard menu system.  The following sections describe this 
in more detail.
