  are shortcuts to the windows for Flow Rate, Velocity, Signal 

Quality, POS Totalizer, waveform, and Diagnosis. 

1.4 Keypad Operation 

The  instrument  setup  and  measurement  displays  are  subdivided  into  more  than  100  independent  Menus.  The 
operator  can  input  parameters,  modify  settings  or  display  measurement  results  by  "visiting"  a  specific  Menu. 
These Menus are arranged by 2-digit serial numbers from 00~99, then using +0, +1, etc. Each Menu ID code has a 
defined  meaning.  For  example,  Menu  11  indicates  the  pipe  outside  diameter,  while  Menu  25  indicates  the 
mounting spacing between the transducers. Each Menu will be discussed later in this manual. 

1.To visit a specific Menu, press the 

  key at any time except the SD Card Storage Interface, then input the 

2-digit Menu ID code and that Menu will be displayed. For example, to input or check the pipe outside diameter, 

press the 

 

 

  keys for window ID code 11. 

Another  method  to  visit  a  particular  Menu  is  to  press  the 

,

  and 

  keys  to  scroll  through  the 

Menus.  For  example,  if  the  current  Menu  is  30,  press 

  key  to  enter  Menu  31,  press  the 

  button 

again to enter Menu 30. 

The  Menus  are  divided  into  three  types:  1)  Data  Type,  such  as  M11,  M12;  2)  Selection  Type,  such  as  M14;  3) 
Display Type, such as M00, M01. 

Visit  Data  Type  Menus  to  check  specific  parameters. 

If parameter change is needed, just press 

  first, 

then input the values and press 

  to confirm. 

Example 1: To enter a pipe outer diameter of 200mm, 
the procedure is as follows: 

Press 

  to  enter  Menu11  (the 

numerical  value  displayed  currently  is  the  previous 

pipe  outer  diameter).  Now  press  the 

key.  The 

symbol  ">"  and  a  flashing  cursor  is  displayed  on  the 
screen.The new value can now be entered. 

 

 

Visit  Selection  Type  Menus  to  check  the  related 

options.  If  need  to  modify  it,  press 

  first  to 

enter  the  revised  selection  when  the  symbol  ">"  is 
displayed  on  the  screen;  or  input  numbers  directly  to 
select  the  option  when  the  symbol  ">"  and  a  flashing 
cursor are displayed.   

Example  2:  If  the  pipe  material  is  "Carbon  Steel", 

press 

 

 

  to  enter  Menu  14,  then 

press 

  to  modify  the  option.  Then,  select"0. 

Carbon  Steel"  from  the  drop-down  Menu  (  you  may 

cycle through the choices by pressing the 

  and 

  keys  )  and  then  press 

  to  confirm  the 

selection.
