Setting up water meters and alarms
Sample duration
Sample duration is the amount of time the Select™ Water Monitor counts pulses before calculating
the flow rate for that duration. Sample duration can be from 1 to 60 minutes, in 1-minute intervals
Enable low/high flow alarm
When the low and/or high alarm is enabled, Select™ Water displays alarm messages when an alarm
condition occurs. When it is
not
enabled, Select™ Water does not display any alarm messages.
Minimum/maximum flow
Minimum flow is the lowest flow rate you want to see over the sample duration. A flow rate less
than the minimum is a fault condition.
Maximum flow is the highest flow rate you want to see over the sample duration. A flow rate higher
than the maximum is a fault condition.
Adjust the minimum and maximum flow rates by adjusting the number of pulses.
Consecutive fault samples
Consecutive fault samples is the number of consecutive sample durations (samples) that must have a
fault condition
before an
alarm condition
occurs.
Water flow alarms example
In the following example, the sample duration is 5 minutes.
