BATTERY

- A built-in rechargable NiMH battery supplies power for 18 hours continuous operation when fully

charged.

- Display brightness is adjustable to conserve power.

- State of charge is shown for normal use, sleep mode and charging.

- When switched OFF with the AC power module connected the flashing battery indicates charging,

solid battery shows fully charged.

- The PF D

550 will switch off automatically when the battery is fully discharged.

- Full charge requires approximately 6 hours charging.

- Sleep mode extends battery life for long term data logging. Maximum log time is 18 days at 5 minute

sample rate.

RUN

The main display shows the units selected from the Units/Mode menu,

Flow or Velocity rate being measured, TOTALIZER. The PF D550 will

start-up with this display and will return to this screen after a timeout if

keys are not pressed in other menus.

MESSAGE

Press from the RUN display to view error/warning messages provided

by the instrument. The Message icon will appear on the RUN display if

error messages are being generated by the instrument. Press to return to

the main display.

STATUS

Press from the RUN display to view instrument status. Velocity will be

displayed in ft/sec or m/sec.

Tot Displays the current totalizer reading.

Signal Cutoff Adjust the setting in percent to suppress flow readings

at zero flow when fluid swirling or pipe vibration may cause the

instrument to continue reading. Example: Signal Cutoff at 5% will force

the display and outputs to zero when signal strength drops below 5%.

Signal Strength Displays percentage of signal being received by the

ultrasonic sensor.

20mA at

Displays the flow rate set as 20mA in the Calibration menu.

Press to return to the main display.

24 HR LOG

Press from the RUN display to view a formatted flow report from

instruments with a built-in data logger. Press to scroll down one day or

repeatedly to scroll to a specific date. Up to 365 days can be stored.

Newest date will overwrite the oldest. Press to return to the main

display.

PASSWORD

The password (a number from 0000 to 9999) prevents unauthorized access

to the Calibration menu.

From the Run display press the key to get to Password . Factory

default password is 0000 and if it has not been changed press the to

proceed to the Menu Selections screen.

If a password is required, press to place the cursor under the first digit

and or to set the number, then to the second digit, etc. Press or

to proceed to the Menu Selections screen.

A new password can be stored by going to Special Functions/New

CALIBRATION

Press the to >Calibration and to enter. Use or to position

>before each menu item and to enter. When settings are completed

press to store and return to the Calibration menu

*20mA at Press then or to change the numbers and decimal

point. Use this menu to set the corresponding flow rate that will be

represented by 20mA analog output. If maximum flow is unknown, enter

an estimated flow rate and observe actual flow to determine the correct

maximum value. Any velocity or flow rate up to +12.2 m/sec (40 ft/sec)

may be selected.

*4mA at Press or to set the flow rate corresponding to 4mA analog

output. This setting may be left at zero flow (or velocity or can be raised

to any value less than the 20mA setting, or lowered to any velocity or

corresponding flow rate down to -12.2 m/sec (-40 ft/sec).

Pipe ID Place the cursor under the digits and then or to change the

numbers and decimal point. Pipe ID should be entered as the exact

inside diameter of the pipe where the sensor is mounted. Refer to the Pipe

Charts Appendix in this manual for inside diameter of common pipe types

and sizes.

Damping - Increase damping to stabilize readings under turbulent flow

conditions. Decrease for fast response to small changes in flow. Damping

is shown in percentage (maximum is 99%). Factory default is 20%.

Press from the Units/Mode display to return to Menu Selections.

*Note4-20mA circuitry is only powered by the AC power module.

To conserve power this output is not active in battery power mode.
