D. Set totalizer units: For label purposes only D. Adjusts 4 mA output: 3.9 to 4.1 mA (overrides 4.00 mA factory calibration)
E. Sets totalizer K-factor: 000.01 to 99999. (see technical notes) E. Adjusts 20 mA output: 19.8 to 21.0 mA (overrides 20.00 mA factory
F. Sets 4 mA setpoint (4 mA and 20 mA setpoints are reversible) calibration)
G. Sets 20 mA setpoint
H. Sets user defined date

Technical notes:
Flow and totalizer K-factors are independent of each other. These K-factors
represent the number of pulses generated by the +GF+ SIGNET flow sensor for
each engineering unit measured (published in flow sensor manual).

11. Troubleshooting

Display Message Cause Solution

1) Input frequency too high 1) Reduce input frequency.
2) Display overrange 2) Move display decimal to right in OPTIONS menu.
3) Display timebase too large 3) Change display timebase (H,M,S,D) to smaller value
(e.g. LPH to LPM).

K-Factor cannot be zero Change K-Factor to a non-zero value.

2s Memory corrupted Press to restore normal operation. Settings will revert to

2s factory default. Recalibration is required.
