following.

 (See Transducer Selection Table on page 26)

M24

Window for selecting the transducer mounting methods
Four methods can be selected:
(0) V-method (1) Z-method (2) N-method (3) W-method

M25

Display the transducer mounting spacing

M26

Entry to store the parameter configuration into the internal NVRAM

M27

Entry to load one set of saved parameters

M28

Select YES or NO for the instrument to determine whether or not to hold (or to keep)
the last correct value when poor signal condition occurs. YES is the default setup

M29

Enter a value ranging from 000 to 999. 0 is the default value

M30

Window for selecting unit system. Default value is ‘Metric’. The change from English
to Metric or vice versa will not affect the unit for totalizers.

M31

Window for selecting flow rate that will be used by the instrument afterward.
Flow rate can be in
1. Cubic meter

short for (m3)

2. Liter

(l)

3. USA gallon

(gal)

4. Imperial Gallon

(igl)

5. Million USA gallon

(mgl)

6. Cubic feet

(cf)

7. USA liquid barrel

(bal)

8. Imperial liquid barrel

(ib)

9. Oil barrel

(ob)

The flow unit in terms of time can be per day, per hour, per minute or per second. So
there are 36 different flow rate units in total for selection.

M32

Window for selecting the totaliziers’ working unit

M33

Select totalizer multiplier
The multiplier ranges from 0.001 to 10000

M34

Turn on or turn off the NET totalizer

M35

Turn on or turn off the POS totalizer

M36

Turn on or turn off the NEG totalizer

M37

(1) Totalizer reset
(2) Restore the instrument to the default parameters as the manufacturer did
