GFM3 – Demonstration
Configuring the TotalizerUse the and keys to cyclethrough the menu optionsHighlight “Mode Run/Stop” and press to select this optionPress once to highlight “Run” and then press to activate thetotalizerTOT: S at the bottom of the display will change to TOT:R to indicate the totalizer is in run mode
GFM3 – Demonstration
Configuring the TotalizerThe “Start at Flow” option is used to set a minimum flow rate before the totalizer will start accumulating the total flowThe “Stop at Total” option is used to set a maximum limit for the total flow accumulationThese values are shown at the bottom of Totalizer menu display for reference
