Read Flow
Selecting Read flow informs the user of the mode of operation and the approximate maximum flow rate. Press the appropriate key can change the units required.
Attach sensor set in REFLEX mode Approx. max. flow:
7.22m/s

SCROLL changes mode
Pressing ENTER asks the user to enter a temperature in °C.

Now press scroll (up). The instrument will display the separation distance before displaying flow.
Main Menu - Select Sensor mode
When the application information is programmed into the instrument it selects and defaults to the most suitable mode of operation i.e. REFLEX or DIAGONAL.
Sensor Mode
Selecting Sensor mode allows the user to choose the appropriate method for clamping the sensors to the pipe. The default would have been displayed on the previous screen and Sensor mode can be selected to give the user a choice between Reflex and Diagonal.

This option is available for two main reasons. Firstly, lets assume that the instrument has selected “mount sensors in DIAGONAL MODE” Your application may not allow you to achieve this mode. Providing the velocity is low enough it is possible to force the sensors into REFLEX mode (See page 4). Changing the sensor mode from Diagonal to Reflex would allow the user to measure the flow. The display may also read, sensor mode invalid for this pipe size.

Read Flow
Moving the cursor to Read flow and pressing ENTER informs the user of the mode of operation and the maximum flow capable.
Should the actual flow be higher than the one specified on the instrument, another mode of operation can be selected. Selecting EXIT will take you back to MAIN MENU.
