5.0 Operation
5.1.4 Setting the Range
The SF-1020i has ten (10) flow ranges (see
"Table 5-3. SF-1020i Nominal Flow Ranges"
testing in the range that provides a flow rate between 70% and 100% of the full-scale range. If uncertain
of the correct range to use, start with a high range and move down until you find the correct range. For
greatest accuracy, always test in the lowest range possible. If over 100% of range, then move up one
range. If less than 70% of range, then move down at least one range.
