Run Mode

 is the normal operational state of the meter.  After boot up or power on, the 

flow meter will be in 

Run Mode 

and will show the 

Run Mode

 display(s).  The factory 

default 

Run Mode

 display will show the meter's Tag Name and Flow as follows: 

 

TAG NATURAL GAS1 
FLOW 14356.  SCFM 

 
The 

Run Mode

 display can be configured to display other meter variables and formats.  

The 

Run Mode

 display setup

 is covered in a later section of the manual. 

 

Program Mode

 is the mode used to change (or program) the flow meter parameters or

Program 

Mode

 is invoked by pressing 

P

 when the flow meter is in 

Run Mode

 

Display Mode

 is the mode used to view the flow meter parameters as well as the process 

and control data.  No access code is required to enter this mode.  This mode is for 
viewing only and data entry is blocked.  

Display Mode

 is invoked by pressing 

D

 when the 

flow meter is in 

Run Mode

 

Log Mode

 is the mode used to request log reports that are sent to the flow meter USB 

port.  No access code is required to enter this mode.  

Log Mode

 is invoked by pressing 

L

 

when the flow meter is in

functions.  An access code is required to enter this mode.  

Extended Utilities Mode

 is 

invoked by pressing 

E

 when the flow meter is in 

Run Mode

 
The 

H

 key provides a quick exit or ‘HOME’ function and will either return to the top-level 

option entry display of the user mode or return to

The general format of the data displays will have the item description or name of the 
variable on line 1 of the LCD display and the value of the variable on line 2 of the 
display.  In general, data entry will be performed on the value on line 2 of the display.  
When the data item is a selection list, an up/down arrow ‘^v’ symbol will display at the 
right most position on line 2 to indicate that the data value is selected using the up 

(^)

 or 

down
