Z03 Auto Initialization

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, electrical installation, and parameter settings.

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

The Z-series parameter cannot be accessed via Modbus read/write commands in the current version.

Notes

1. This procedure must be performed with the pipeline fully filled with liquid. 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. Each time the flow meter is reinstalled or the pipe size or material is changed, this function should be executed again.

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

Button Functions (Click to Expand)

The main unit has four buttons. The bottom line (Line 3) of the LCD displays the current function of each button. Under normal operation, the button functions are as follows:

• Blue Button - Leftmost button: Return, exit, or save settings.

Gray Arrow Buttons:

• Left Gray Button: Page up, increase value, or select item

• Right Gray Button: Page down, decrease value, or select item

• Orange Button: Rightmost button: Enter settings, edit, or confirm selection

Do not hold buttons for extended periods to avoid damage.

Button functions may change depending on the operation context to improve usability or prevent accidental presses.
