During normal operation the 8150 displays the ow rate and one selected totalizer value. Any one of the three totalizers can be set
as the standard display: The other two totalizers can be viewed by pressing the keypad. The display will automatically return to the

To prevent this loss, enter the security code, then enter any menu item and induce a "STORING" message.
Whenever the 8150 stores a setting, it also stores all current totalizer data:
Example: The Totalizer ow rate shows 60 GPM, while an external reference indicates a true ow rate of 70 GPM.
To adjust the 8150, change the Flow rate from 60 GPM to 70 GPM using AutoCAL.
1. Hold the ENTER key for 2 seconds, then enter the SECURITY CODE.
Auto CAL is the rst item in the menu.
2. Press the RIGHT key to select the Auto CAL function.
The display will show Auto CAL and the current ow rate will be ashing.
3. Press the RIGHT key again to change the ow rate. The display shows "Set Flo" and the rst digit of the ow rate will begin
ashing.
5. Press the RIGHT key to advance the ashing element to the "6".
5. Press the UP key one time to change the "6" to "7".
6. Press the ENTER key to complete the automatic calibration process.
The display shows a new K-factor with the rst digit ashing. This K-factor is based on the change in ow rate.
7. Press the ENTER key again to accept the new value.
NOTE: If the display shows "ERR SetFlo" the procedure was unsuccessful because the calculated K-factor is less than 0.001 or
greater than 999999. Verify the ow rate and start the Auto CAL procedure from step 1.
8. Press UP and DOWN keys together to store the new value in the memory.
The display will show "storing" for a few seconds, then return to normal operation.

For example, if the ow RATE registers in Litres per minute, the totalizer may be set to 1 (factory standard), so it counts in 1-Litre
increments, or it may be set to 1000, so it counts in 1Kilolitre (1m3) increments.
By converting the Flow K-factor, the totalizer can also be set to count in other engineering units.
See sec. 17: "Flow and Total K-factor selection" for additional information about Total K-factor adjustments.
Example: Change the totalizer from 1 kiloLitre increments to count in 10-kiloLitre increments.
1. Hold the ENTER key for 2 seconds, then enter the SECURITY CODE.
The display shows the rst item in
the menu, AutoCAL.
2. Press the DOWN key two times to
scroll to the Total K-factor.
3. Press the RIGHT key to select the

Example:
The Flow K-factor is set at 480.19 pulses per Gallon.
The totalizer registers 10 Gallons when the actual volume is known to be 11 Gallons.
The error is 1 Gallon divided by 10 Gallons , or -10%. (The totalizer is counting 10% low, and the ow rate is reading 10% slow.)
Reduce the Flow K-factor by 10%: 480.19 - 10% = 432.17.
Change the Flow K-factor to 432 pulses per Gallon.
The result: The totalizer must count 10% fewer pulses from the ow sensor to register one Gallon, so both the totalizer and the ow
rate will increase by 10%.

No SPEED, no SENSITIVITY
With SPEED averaging set to 0 (zero) and with SENSITIVITY set
to zero, the ow rate may be very unstable. This line represents
the actual output of the ow sensor as it responds to unstable
ow conditions in the pipe.

With SPEED set to 60 seconds and SENSITIVITY still set to zero
the ow rate is stabilized, but a sharp change in ow rate is not
represented for 60 seconds or longer. (dotted green line).
