Program Features

See Programming Section for more detailed information.

High and Low Flow Warning (Codes 315 and 316)

When the flow rate is above the programmed high flow value, a flashing -HI- is 

shown in the digital display. When the flow rate is below the programmed low flow 

value, a flashing -LO- is shown in the digital display.

Flow Cutoff (Codes 318 or 319)

The digital display indicates 0 when the flow rate is below the programmed flow 

cutoff value.

TOTAL Button

The 

TOTAL

 button performs two functions, display total flow for a discharge or 

reset the totalized flow value to 0 (if totalizer reset function is set to YES).

Display Total Flow

When the 

TOTAL

 button is pressed and released the digital display shows the total 

accumulated flow and the 

TOTALx100

 LED is on. (The value shown is times 100.)

Press and release the 

TOTAL

 button again to show normal flow rate.

Reset Total Flow to 0

The totalizer reset (code 317) has two program settings, YES or no. (Refer to 

Programming Section). To enable the reset function the program totalizer reset is set 

to YES.

Total flow resets and starts from 0 when power is applied to the control module. 

Flow total is reset to 0 during operations by displaying the total flow and then pressing 

and holding the 

TOTAL

 button until the display shows 0.
