This setting enables or disables the empty pipe detector.
The Empty Pipe Detector senses when uid is drained from the pipe and the ow
sensing electrodes are exposed to air. When this occurs, the displayed ow rate
will drop to zero and the empty pipe icon will be displayed in the upper left-
hand side of the display window. If the current (mA) output alarm is active, the
milliamp output will also indicate an alarm condition.
To change the existing setting, press enter to access the function and use the up
arrow key to turn the function on or o. Press enter to accept the change and
exit the function. Press escape to exit the program mode. Table of Contents
The empty pipe threshold function is used to set the maximum allowable
resistance value between the ow sensing electrodes in the transmitter. The
transmitter will go into empty pipe alarm when the value is exceeded. The default
value is 500. The maximum allowable value is 9,999.
To enter a new value, press enter to access the function. Use the right arrow key
to move the cursor and the up arrow key to change the resistance. Press enter to
accept the change and exit the function. Press escape to exit the program mode.
Table of Contents
This function is only available when output pulse 2 in OUTPUTS menu (menu 7)
[Out2 = XXXXX] is set to Pulses+, Pulses- or Pulses±. When active, Scaled Output
Pulse 2 sets the unit of measure and the volume or mass that equates to one
pulse. This pulse weight setting is limited by the diameter of the ow sensor.
The list of units of measure available for selection can be in US/IMPERIAL or SI
units depending on the pulse 2 unit type [Pl2 unit = IMPERIAL] setting in UNITS
menu (menu 2). In the same way, the list will show mass units, if mass units are
enabled [Mass units = OFF] in menu 2. The tables below show the available units
of measure.

Output 2 pulse duration is only active when scaled pulse output 2 [Pls2= Gal
X.XXXX] is active. It is used to set the duration of each pulse. The duration is set
in milliseconds with a range of 0.4 to 9999.99.
Note: Pulse durations must match the requirements of the input they are
connected to. Very short pulse times may not be counted by the input and long
duration pulsed may damage electromechanical registers.
To enter a new value, press enter to access the function. Use the right arrow
key to move the cursor and the up arrow key to change the pulse duration.
Press enter to accept the change and exit the function. Press escape to exit the

This function sets the full scale ow value for the analog output.
The maximum allowable ow rate is a function of the diameter of the ow sensor.
Regardless of the diameter, the maximum ow rate setting cannot exceed a
velocity of 10 m/s.
To enter a new value, press enter to access the function. Use the right arrow key

The full scale ow rate 1 function sets the unit of measure and time base for the
meter and the maximum ow rate for range 1. This eects the ow rate display
and the alarm function. It also sets the unit of measure and time base for the
analog output.
The maximum allowable ow rate is a function of the diameter of the ow sensor.
Regardless of the diameter, the maximum ow rate setting cannot exceed a
velocity of 10 m/s. The following rules apply to the maximum ow rate setting.
These may also aect the selection of the unit of measure and the time base.
• The largest numeric value representing ow is 9999. Larger values use units
with multipliers.
• The full scale ow rate setting cannot exceed 10 m/s
• The full scale ow rate must be greater than 0.4 m/s
The list of units of measure available for selection can be in US/IMPERIAL or
SI units depending on the ow rate unit type [FR unit = IMPERIAL] selected in
UNITS menu (menu 2). In the same way, the list will show mass units, if mass units
are enabled [Mass units= OFF] in menu 2.

The full scale ow rate 2 function sets the maximum ow rate for range 2, when
the autorange function [Autorange = ON/OFF] in MEASURE menu (menu 4) is
turned on. Range 2 uses the unit of measure and time base setting from full scale
ow rate 1.
The maximum allowable ow rate is a function of the diameter of the ow sensor.
Regardless of the diameter, the maximum ow rate setting cannot exceed a
velocity of 10 m/s. The following rules apply to the maximum ow rate setting.
