Using the quick start menu

The quickest way to set up the flowmeter and access the FLOW READING screen.
If the point at which you intend to take the measurement is likely to require regular monitoring it is best to set it up as a 'Site' with-
in the flowmeter, which then stores the site parameters.
Before you can use the flowmeter you need to obtain the following details (this information will be required when setting up the
Quick Start menu):
• Pipe outside diameter.
• Pipe wall thickness and material.
• Pipe lining thickness and material.
• Type of fluid.
• Fluid temperature.
