Fuel Flow Meter FAQ

You need to set initial values of the FP series Fuel Flow Detector as follows before you use the FM series for the first time. You also need to set initial values in the case of using another FP series Fuel Flow Detector.

Notes

This is the instruction for a standard model. It is not applicable to a special order model.
This is initial setting procedure when the unit is in the time of shipment state.
This is the setting for measuring instantaneous flow rate (volume). For other measurements, please refer to the instruction manual.
Display update time is set at 1s (at the time of shipment). If you would like to change it, please refer to the instruction manual.

1. Set the date and time. (If it is already set, go to (2)) → Setting procedure for the date and time is here.

2. Set the detector model, factor value, and encoder pulse in this order.

Operating procedure

1. Push (MENU) key. The following Menu setup screen appears.

data set

>>Select the slot to use.

If you use more than one slot, you need to set for each slot.

Use or and select

then push , and the following setup menu appears.

2. DF-0400 setup menu appears.

Use or and select

then push .

3. Sensor setup menu appears.

Use or and select

then push , and the following detector selection list appears.

4. The following detector selection list appears.

>>Select the detector model to use. (The name of selected detector is highlighted.)

5. Specify the detector model to use.

Use or and select FP215, then push

The selection is established.

6. Set the factor value

Use or and select

then push .

The leftmost figure of the factor value is highlighted.

>> Set the factor value written in the nameplate of detector or in the test certificate.

When you push or , the highlighted position moves.

When you push or , the highlighted numerical value increases or decreases.

【Example of 4-digit factor value】
When the factor value is 4-digit number, set the leftmost figure as 0: 09824 (setting example)

7. Establish the factor value

Push

, then the factor value setting is established.

8. Set the encoder pulse

If encoder pulse is displayed (set) 120*10 → Go to 10.

If it is set (displayed) other than 120*10, or if you would like to set "120", set as follows.

Use or and select

Push , then selection list of the number of pulses appears.

9. Select the target encoder pulse from the selection list.

Use

and select 120 * 10.

Push , then selected encoder pulse is established.

When you select 120*10, decimal places of the displayed value will be one ( 0.0 ).
* When you want to reduce a digit of the decimal point, select 120.

Information

Instantaneous flow rate, sectional total average flow rate:

Display unit : kg/h, L/h
Number of display digits : Max. 7 (Decimal place depends on the flow rate.)

Flow detector	Display range
FP-215/2250A	0.0 to 9999999

Sectional total flow rate, total flow rate:

Display unit : g, mL
Number of display digits : Max. 7

Flow detector	Display range
FP-215/2250A	0.0 to 9999999

However, when the encoder pulse is set as follows,

Encoder pulse setting	Display range
120 P/R × 10 multiplier	0.0 to 9999999
120 P/R	0 to 9999999

10. Push and back to the measurement data display screen.

is used for setting of the rated pressure of a pressure sensor. In this case, you do not need to set the rated pressure because a pressure sensor is not used. (Please leave it as the status at the time of shipment.
