# Z03 Auto Initialize

### **Definition**

This function automatically detects the ultrasonic velocity of the fluid under test, assisting the flow meter in completing the environmental parameter setup. It is intended to be used after the flow meter’s [**mechanical installation**](/qr/fu-es-echosense-instruction-manual/installation-and-setup/mechanical-installation.md), [**electrical installation**](/qr/fu-es-echosense-instruction-manual/installation-and-setup/electronic-installation.md), and [**parameter settings**](/qr/fu-es-echosense-instruction-manual/installation-and-setup/parameter-setup.md).

The function begins execution only after pressing **Start**. Once executed, it automatically updates **A21 (Auto Start-Up Initialization)**.

{% hint style="info" %}
The Z-series parameter cannot be accessed via Modbus read/write commands in the current version.
{% endhint %}

### Notes

1. This procedure must be performed with the <mark style="color:red;">**pipeline fully filled with liquid**</mark>. Executing Z03 when the pipe is not full may cause flow measurement errors and unstable readings. If this occurs, repeat Z03 under full-pipe conditions.
2. Z03 automatic on-site initialization must always be performed when the pipe is full. The liquid may be either stationary or flowing; this does not affect the result.
3. <mark style="color:red;">Each time the flow meter is reinstalled or the pipe size or material is changed, this function should be executed again.</mark>
4. The A21 function performs the same operation as Z03; users may choose to execute either one.
5. (Z-series parameters are designed for quick setup, primarily to consolidate multiple essential parameters into a single series for faster installation.)

### Operation Procedure

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.lorric.com/qr/fu-es-echosense-instruction-manual/parameters/z-easy-setup/z03-auto-initialize.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
