 Instrument Configuration - Gas Menu 

By default, this menu is passcode-protected.  Use the numeric keypad to enter the appropriate 
security code. 

 

Use the 

 button to advance/scroll through each setting.  Use the 

 or 

 buttons to scroll through the list of programmed settings.  

  Tap the desired gas type.  Press 

 to accept changes, or press 

 to 

return to the menu screen without saving changes. 
 
 

NOTE: changing this value may limit the amount of flow indicated by the 
info tag on the front of the meter

 

 

This option should ONLY be changed if absolutely necessary.  Please 
contact SSi before making changes to this setting.

 

 
 

 
 

 

 Instrument Configuration – Addition Options Menu 

These settings affect how flow changes are displayed.  They also affect how the meter controls 
flow from an external control source.   

 
Display Ave: This value acts like a filter by averaging the flow values, 
which are displayed.  The setting is in tenths of a second (i.e. 100 = 
10.0 seconds).  This only affects how the flow is displayed and not how 

the meter controls the flow. 
Control Mode: The control mode affects how the meter is controlled 
by an external source.   

 

Flow mode refers to standar control based on a specific flow set 

point for use with standard gases.   

 

Valve mode refers to valve position control based on % output for 

carbon control gases. 

 

Manual mode is used on meters with no valve motor for automatic 

adjustment.  This includes the eFlo manual meter (with a control 
knob) and the eFlo In-line meter. 

 

Ratio mode is used for specific applications involving ratio control 

like mixing systems. 
Altitude: –This is the altitude in feet above sea level where the meter 

is installed and operating.  This value affects the flow due to changes in 
air density at a given altitude. 
Dec. Point Override: This setting allows the flow to be displayed with a 

given number of decimal point places.  It is limited to 2 decimal points.
