MAIN MENU
This setting enables or disables the empty pipe detector.
The Empty Pipe Detector senses when fluid is drained from the pipe and the flow
sensing electrodes are exposed to air. When this occurs, the displayed flow rate
will drop to zero and the empty pipe icon will be displayed in the upper left-
hand side of the display window. If the current (mA) output alarm is active, the
milliamp output will also indicate an alarm condition.
To change the existing setting, press enter to access the function and use the up
arrow key to turn the function on or off. Press enter to accept the change and
exit the function. Press escape to exit the program mode. Table of Contents
The empty pipe threshold function is used to set the maximum allowable
resistance value between the flow sensing electrodes in the transmitter. The
transmitter will go into empty pipe alarm when the value is exceeded. The default
value is 500. The maximum allowable value is 9,999.
To enter a new value, press enter to access the function. Use the right arrow key
to move the cursor and the up arrow key to change the resistance. Press enter to
accept the change and exit the function. Press escape to exit the program mode.
Table of Contents
This function is only available when output pulse 2 in OUTPUTS menu (menu 7)
[Out2 = XXXXX] is set to , Pulses- or Pulses±. When active, Scaled Output
Pulse 2 sets the unit of measure and the volume or mass that equates to one
pulse. This pulse weight setting is limited by the diameter of the flow sensor.
The list of units of measure available for selection can be in US/IMPERIAL or SI
units depending on the pulse 2 unit type [Pl2 unit = IMPERIAL] setting in UNITS
menu (menu 2). In the same way, the list will show mass units, if mass units are
enabled [Mass units = OFF] in menu 2. The tables below show the available units
of measure.
