Chapter 1. Programming Site Data
8 DigitalFlow™ GS868 Programming Manual (2-Channel)
Programming of the ACTIV , SYSTM ( CH1 and GLOBL ) and PIPE submenus is necessary for operation of the Model
GS868. Failure to accurately enter all of the required information will result in unreliable flow rate data. Therefore, be
sure to complete at least the sections of this chapter pertaining to those three submenus.
Note: Because it is so essential, instructions for programming the ACTIV , SYSTM ( CH1 and GLOBL ) and PIPE
submenus are also included in the Startup Guide. If that programming has already been completed, skip the
corresponding sections of this chapter.
Except for the three submenus noted above, it is not necessary to program the Model GS868 flowmeter in any
particular order. Therefore, the sections of this chapter need not be completed in sequence. Proceed immediately to
any section of interest.
