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:

 

 

 

 

 

 

DELAY BETWEEN DIALOUTS

 

 

 

XX MINUTES

 

 

 

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:

 

 

 

 

 

CALLBACK TO DISABLE ALARM

 

 

 

• YES • • NO •

 

 

 

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.

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.

 

 

 

 

 

ENTER PRINTER SPEED

 

 

 

• OFF • • 1/2"/HR • • 1"/HR • • 2"/HR • • 4"/HR •

 

 

 

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:

 

 

 

 

 

INPUT FOR PRINTER LINE A

 

 

 

• (LEVEL) • • (FLOW RATE) • • (pH) • • (D. O.) • • OFF •
