Procedure

Operation

1. After the wiring has been verified, apply power to the flowmeter. (No special instructions for

instrument shutdown; turn operating power off.)

2. Then wait 10 minutes for warm-up. During this period the flowmeter may indicate high flow.
3. After power up the instrument automatically enters the flow metering mode and the display sets to

normal operation.

Display
The flowmeter contains a 4 x 20 character LCD display. Flow rate, temperature, and system status are
all accessible through the display.
Initialization Window
When power is applied to the flowmeter the display will briefly show the initialization window. See
Figure 15.
