4250 Flow Meter

Section 2 Programming

2.1 Getting Started

You must program the 4250 Flow Meter to accurately monitor a
flow stream. You must also install the area-velocity sensor. The
4250 will usually also need a primary measuring device, a
structure placed across a stream that regulates flow. This section
describes programming the flow meter with the aid of the keypad
and display. There are nine program steps that control all
aspects of the flow meter’s operation. 

Teledyne Isco ships the flow meter with a program already
installed that is called the 

default program

. You can use this

program as an example to see the flow meter’s capabilities. Note
that the default program is just for testing the unit at the factory.
The flow meter’s internal computer must always have something
programmed into the unit, so that becomes the default program.
Your flow situation will usually require other programming
choices. The text provided with each screen explains the reasons
for the various menu options.

2.1.1 Operation of the 

Display

The display is a two-line, forty character-per-line liquid crystal
(LCD). It has a backlight feature for easy viewing in low light sit-
uations. The display has three different operating modes:

normal

, 

programming

, and 

messages

. In the 

normal mode

,

the display shows such things as level, flow rate, total flow,
parameter measurement, etc. In the 

programming mode

, the

top line of the display shows each step as you work through the
program while the bottom line shows the choices available for
that step. In the 

message mode

, the display provides instruc-

tional information, such as how to leave programming, or what to
do if you have entered a number that is out-of-range. 

Following is a “normal” display on the flow meter. This is typical
of what the flow meter will display when it is in the normal oper-
ating mode and you are not programming it.

An interpretation of the numbers on this display would be as
follows: Time and date will be replaced by pH/D.O. and temper-
ature if you are using parameter sensing. The (X X) to the right
of the time indicates letters that may appear from time to time
on the 4250 Flow Meter. 

The letter 

C

 will appear when the flow meter is communicating

with a remote computer (Flowlink applications only). The letters

E

 or 

D

 will appear (Enable or Disable) when the sampler enable

function (step 6) is programmed by condition. (Programmed by
