Choosing Engineering Units

Press the button adjacent to any of the four

measurement parameters twice to enter its

unit selection menu. You can change units in

two ways:

Button engineering units

(

page 18

) alter

the display only, not the serial data:

•

Select

Set button eng units

and

press

SELECT

to change the engineering

unit on the display only. This does

not alter the flow meter data frame.

Device engineering units

alter both the display and the flow meter data frame:

•

Select

Set device eng units

and then choose the

engineering unit as above. An additional confirmation

screen asks you to confirm the serial change.

•

If the button engineering unit is different than the device engineering

unit,

Set device eng units

will not appear. To change them:

•

First select

Show device eng units

to revert the button to the

current device unit for that parameter. Enter the unit selection

menu again to change the device engineering unit.

✓

Note:

The totalizer's set flow variable (mass flow or

volumetric flow) cannot be altered directly. Please

contact support (

page 2

) if you wish to change your

totalizer from mass flow to volumetric, or vice-versa.
