screen will be displayed.
The default passcode is 000000. If a different passcode has
previously been set, then the user must enter that passcode
at this time. After entering the passcode, or leaving it at
000000 if using the default passcode, the user does the tap
and hold sequence to move into the menu system.

PDAMP
PDAMP is used to view or change the number of samples
for rolling average of pulse output.
TEST
TEST allows the user to initiate a fully functional, artificial flow
rate for the purpose of testing other connected equipment.
When TEST is applied, all features of the meter will function at
the stated flow rate (in gallons per second).
For TEST to function, the meter must be filled (not EMPTY
PIPE).
To enter a value into the TEST feature, navigate to the TEST
tab and enter a flow rate value in the VAL screen (in gallons
per second only,) then
to the VAL box and to the ON
screen. This will initiate the TEST feature. The next would
bring you to the OFF screen, but you can ‘hold and tap’
the arrows to return you to the sub menu while the feature
operates.
After use, the TEST feature must be turned OFF.
If the TEST
feature is not turned OFF, the stated static flow rate (in gallons
per second) will be shown any time the meter is full or in a
flowing condition. Flow values recorded by the meter while
the TEST feature is operating are permanently recorded in the
displayed TOTAL. It may be useful to note that these values
are only written to permanent memory every 15 minutes and
cycling all power within this 15 minute time frame will return
the meter to its previous total.
Power Indicators
A power indicator is displayed in the lower left of the main
display window.
Any meter powered from an external power source will
display a power plug icon when running on external power.
If the connection to external power is lost, the meter will
switch to the backup battery and the power icon will switch
to a battery symbol.
OK
on the battery indicator means battery voltage is above
6.4 volts.
LO
on the battery indicator means the battery is low and
should be replaced soon.
