Introduction - GE DigitalFlow DF868 Programming Manual

Introduction

Programming Site Data
The 2-Channel Model DF868 flowmeter cannot provide accurate
flow rate measurements for either channel until the instrument has
been properly installed, the channel has been activated, and the basic
system and pipe parameters have been programmed into the meter.
See the Startup Guide for detailed instructions on performing these
tasks. After completing the installation, proceed with this chapter to
program the Model DF868's advanced features.
Four submenus within the User Program provide access to the
various programmable features of the Model DF868. Step-by-step
programming instructions for each submenu are presented in this
chapter. Refer to the appropriate section for a discussion of the
following User Program submenus:
• CH1/CH2
- use this submenu to activate a channel and to enter the
basic setup parameters for that channel.
• GLOBL
- use this submenu to enter global meter parameters (i.e.,
clock, system, input/output, communications and security), which
apply to both channels.
• SAVE
- use this submenu to store both channel and global data in
the meter's memory, as a site file.
•
RECLL
- use this submenu to recall and activate a stored site file.
Note: It is not required that both channels of a 2-Channel Model
DF868 be installed. The second channel connector may
simply be left vacant for future expansion.
As an aid in following the programming instructions, a complete
menu map of the User Program is included in Appendix A, Menu
Maps.
Note: In the menu map drawings, plain text represents prompt area
messages and boxed text represents option bar choices. Fx
represents a function key to select an option bar choice.
