DigitalFlow™ XGS868i Startup Guide
3.2 Powering Up
Because the Model XGS868i does
not
have an ON/OFF switch, it will power up as soon as the connected power source
is energized.
Note:
For compliance with the European Union’s Low Voltage Directive (73/23/EEC), this unit requires an external
power disconnect device such as a switch or circuit breaker. The disconnect device must be marked as such,
clearly visible, directly accessible, and located within 1.8 m (6 ft) of the Model XGS868i.
There are three methods for obtaining readings from the XGS868i:
•
Built-in LCD display
•
PanaView software on a computer
•
Device to read the XGS868i’s analog output
At least one of the above display options must be installed in order to obtain flow rate readings from the meter.
Immediately upon power up the software version display appears. Then, the meter performs a series of internal
checks, which take about 45 seconds, prior to displaying the flow rate data.
Note:
If the Model XGS868i fails any of the internal checks (see Chapter 2, Error Codes, in the Service Manual), try
disconnecting the power and then repowering the unit. If the meter continues to fail any of the internal
checks, contact the factory for assistance.
After successfully performing the internal checks, the Model XGS868i begins taking measurements and the software
version display is replaced by a measurement mode display. Proceed to the appropriate section for instructions on
using the LCD display and the PanaView display option.
Note:
As a minimum, the system and pipe parameters (for each installed channel of a 2-channel meter) must be
entered before the Model XGS868i can display valid data. Refer to Chapter 2, Initial Setup, for specific
instructions.
