LRF-3000H Handheld Ultrasonic Flowmeter 

- 29 - 

 

 

Set zero must be carried out after the transducers 

are installed and the flow inside the pipe is in the 

absolute static state (no liquid movement in the 

pipe). Thus, the“Zero Point” resulting from 

different pipe mounting location and parameters 

can be eliminated. The measuring accuracy at low 

flow is enhanced by doing this function and flow 

offset is eliminated. 
Press 

ENT

  , wait for the processing instructions at 

the bottom right corner of the display to reach 0. 

Performing Set zero with existing flow may cause 

the flow to be displayed as “0”. If so, it can be 

recovered via Window M43.

Manual Zero Point 

This method is not commonly used. It is only 

suitable for experienced operators to set zero 

under conditions when it is not preferable to use 

other methods.   

Enter the value manually to add to the measured 

value to obtain the actual value. For example: 

Actual measured value   

250 m3/H 

Value Deviation     

10 m3/H 

 

 

 

Flowmeter Display 

240 m3/H 

Normally, set the value as “0”.

Scale Factor 

The scale factor is used to modify the 

measurement results. The user can enter a 

numerical value other than “1” according to 

calibration results.
