arranged in decreasing priority. NUM 1 carries the highest pri-
ority, followed by NUM 2 and so on. After you have entered the
numbers, the flow meter will request:

This is the time delay between calling the first number and
calling the second, etc. This option gives you time to respond to
an alarm before the flow meter dials the next number. Select a
value between 1 and 99 minutes. Then the display will advance
to the following:

Select YES if you want to be able to acknowledge the alarm con-
dition in the flow meter by calling back. No message is spoken on
this callback. When the flow meter's modem detects the ring, it
will answer and automatically reset the alarm. If there is no one
available to answer an alarm, you can have the flow meter dial a
paging service and then someone with a pager can call back to
acknowledge the alarm. To acknowledge an alarm from a touch
tone phone; wait for the spoken message to complete; then press
*-X-X-X. The X-X-X are the three digits of the site ID number.

2.4.10 Step 8 - Printer

This step sets up the operation of the flow meter's internal
printer. This printer also functions as a plotter. Note that the
printer/plotter is capable of printing alphanumeric information
(words and numbers), and at the same time, plotting linear data
like flow, level, pH, etc. The unit can print as many as three dif-
ferent data lines at the same time it regularly records other
printed information routinely supplied from the flow meter.
Program selections made in this step will determine the
appearance of the printer/printer's chart. The first menu will
request the speed of the chart.

If you select OFF, the printer will be disabled. No data will be
printed. The flow meter will, however, still print reports if you
activate that in step 9. The choice made from the other speeds
depends on the amount of data you need to record. If you are
recording from a stable situation and are using only one data
line, and you want to achieve maximum life for the paper roll,
select a lower speed for chart advance. If there is a great deal of
activity in your stream, and you need to use all three data lines,
selection of a faster chart speed will produce a chart more easily
read and interpreted. After you select the printer speed, the flow
meter will ask you to define what you want depicted by LINE A.
(The printer can print as many as three separate lines at the
same time.) The following will appear:
