Response to an attempt to save site data, when data memory is full. Delete an obsolete

Response while trying to recall/delete a site setup when no sites are stored.
Upon measuring the liquid sonic velocity (Vs), the meter recommends re-spacing the
transducers to improve performance.
During the Initial Makeup the system detects invalid transducer spacing, erroneous liquid
pipe parameters, or some other factor that prevents it from completing the Initial Makeup.
This may be due to one of the following:
An out-of-range data entry.
•
An invalid condition (e.g., overlapping transducers in Reflect Mode). If selecting Direct
•
Mode does not resolve, review all site setup and transducer installation choices
particularly data entered for pipe and liquid.
In Reflect Mode the flow meter detects that the pipe wall signal may infringe upon the
•
liquid signal. Use Direct Mode instead.
Press <ENT>, <Up Arrow>, <Down Arrow>, or <Left Arrow> to abort install routine.
•
Continue programming other site data in anticipation of resolving the difficulty later.
Call technical support for help if necessary.
