corners to remove.

IMPORTANT

It is HIGHLY recommended that the boot be 

utilized at all times when the meter is not being 

read.  The boot adds protection to the meter and ensures 

proper closure of the lid, ensuring the maximum battery life.

I

The Dura Mag comes with a boot to help protect 

the meter. The boot simply slips over the electronics 

enclosure.  When installing the boot, ensure the corners 

of the boot fit snugly over the lip of the enclosure.  To 

remove the boot, grip two corners and pull them away 

from the lip of the enclosure and then pull upwards.

Activating The Display

CAUTION:

If the lid is broken off, contact the Factory for a lid replacement 

kit.  In the meantime, set the lid on the meter in its proper 

position and use the boot to hold it in place.

I

The converter display is light activated and requires a minimum 

amount of light to appear. Environments where light is low, 

such as in dimly lit buildings or outdoors after sundown may 

prevent the display from appearing when the lid is raised. 
There is an optical sensor embedded in the display located under 

the McCrometer “swirl” logo at the lower left. If the display does not 

appear, a flashlight will provide sufficient light to bring it up.

NOTE

The display is activated when the lid is opened. 

The display will remain active for 30 seconds. 
The various parts of the interface screen 

is shown below. Depending on how the 

converter is configured with the configuration 

tool the display will show either single 

direction or bidirectional total flow quantities.  

Bidirectional flows are represented as either 

positive (POS) or negative (NEG), as shown at 

right.
