1. Switch on the signal converter SONO 3000. The meter will automatically run through a self-test
routine. During the self-test the display will show the texts ROM TEST, RAM TEST and
INITIALIZING. The self-test is completed when the display starts showing the volume flow rate.
2. If the error symbol is displayed, see "Trouble shooting".
3. Zero adjustment is only necessary if the user requires a very high accuracy at low flows.
4. Refer to CONVERTER SETUP MODE, OUTPUT SETUP to set the required output signals.

memory unit, the sensor is automatically
configured st at DN 400 mm . Error 42 is shown for a short while. The signal converter will display
the corresponding flow rate.
3. For correct flow measurement the following parameters must be set:

4. To set required measuring ranges, see BASIC SETTINGS.
5. If an error symbol is displayed, see "Trouble shooting”.
6. To set the required output signals, see CONVERTER SETUP and OUTPUT SETUP.
The procedure described above is only required when setting up the signal converter
for the first time.
The signal converter will retain the settings even in case of a power failure.
