Pressing ENTER to continue will display the 
following.

The instrument now displays the mode of 
operation and separation distance. Attach the 
transducers as described on pages 5 and 6.  
 
Pressing ENTER will take the instrument into 
reading flow.

MAIN MENU - Calibrate 4-20mA 

(Note: A meter is required to measure the output 
current) 
 
The display will read the following. Press ENTER 
to select. 

MAIN MENU

 

Calibrate 4-20mA 

 
The 4-20mA output is calibrated before it leaves 
the factory and should not need adjusting, 
although this option allows the user to adjust it if 
necessary to match a specific requirement. The 
DAC value is a number between 0 and 40,000, 
which is a number internal to the Ultraflo. 
 
The first stage is to adjust the output current to 
4mA. Use the scroll key, decimal point key or 
keys 5 and 6. The scroll and decimal point key 
move the DAC value in large steps of 25. Keys 5 
and 6 move the value one digit at a time. 
 
The DAC value should be approximately 8000 for 

4mA and 40,000 for 20mA. By watching the 
actual current value displayed on the meter, it is 
possible to set this exactly. 

 
The display will show the following. 

CAL  4mA 
DAC value:                                    8000 

 
Use the scroll and decimal point key to set and 

keys 5 and 6 to trim. Press ENTER when 
complete. 

 
The display will then show the following. 

CAL  20mA 
DAC value:                                    40000 

Use the scroll and decimal point key to set 20mA 
and keys 5 and 6 to trim. Press ENTER when 
complete. 
 
The following will be displayed. Press SCROLL. 

MAIN MENU

 

Calibrate 4-20mA 

 
The following will be displayed. 

MAIN MENU

MAIN MENU - Read flow 

Pressing SCROLL will take the instrument back to 

MAIN MENU-Quick start.

 

 
Pressing ENTER displays the following. 

Approx max flow 
* * * * l/m 

 
It is possible to change the flow units by pressing 

SCROLL. When a new unit is selected press 
ENTER. 

 
Pressing ENTER displays the following. Press 

ENTER to read flow. 

Attach sensors 
REFLEX Sep                                     10.2 

 
This informs the user of the mode of operation 

and the separation distance. 

 
Pressing SCROLL takes the instrument into 

SETUP SENSOR

 mode. 

SETUP SENSORS

Pressing ENTER will read flow. 

l/m                                                      0.00 
l                                                          0.00 

 
When measuring flow there are only three keys 
that are active. 

FUNCTION, RESTART

 and 

SCROLL. 

(see also page 7)

 

 

The 

Function

 key when pressed in flow mode 

displays a range of information that will improve 
the performance of the instrument and will assist 
with the setting up of the unit. 
 
The 

Restart

 key will at any point in the program 

display the start up message. This allows the user 
to restart the program from the beginning. 
  
The 

Scroll

 key when pressed in flow mode will 

display the signal level and the mA output.
