Set flow rate to zero
if no velocity data
Password
Occasionally velocity readings are lost because either a flow
stream does not contain enough reflective particles, or the sensor
is covered with silt. These lost readings are logged as “No Data
Code 248,” and the flow meter is unable to calculate the flow rate.
This check box selects how flow rates are reported during this
condition.
Checked, the flow meter stores the flow rate as 0.0 under this
condition.
Unchecked, the flow meter uses the current level reading and
repeats the last valid velocity reading to calculate the flow rate.
If used, a numeric password is stored in the instrument’s
memory and a copy is stored in the Flowlink site. While
connecting to the instrument, the passwords are compared. A
match will allow you to make changes to the instrument’s
program settings.
If the passwords do not match, you will still be able to retrieve
data from the instrument. However, program settings cannot be
unlocked until the instrument is accessed by the correct site, or
until the password is entered.
Passwords protect the program settings Flowlink sends to flow
meters. The password prevents you or others from accidentally
using the wrong site to connect with the flow meter, and it
protects the settings from being changed by an unauthorized
party.
The Change Password button on the Site Setup tab opens the
Change Password window. From this window you can enable
password protection and change an existing password.
To enable password protection:
1. Enter a numerical password in the “new password” field.
2. Confirm your password by retyping it in the verify field.
3. Press the OK button. Flowlink writes the password to the
instrument and enables password protection.
To change an existing password:
1. Enter the existing password in the “old password” field.
2. Enter the new password in the “new password” field.
3. Confirm your new password by retyping it in the verify
field.
4. Press the OK button. Flowlink writes the new password
to the instrument. The instrument will remain enabled.
The Remove Password button on the Site Setup tab opens the
Remove Password window.
To remove password protection:
1. Enter the password in the “old password” field.
2. Press the OK button. Flowlink clears the password from
the instrument and disables password protection.
