6.12.5.2.3 Engine Label
Each channel has a text label you can set to identify the load controlled by that channel (for example,
“PORT ENGINE” or “COOLING WATER FLOW”). For each channel, set this to a value which
describes the flow being monitored so that you can easily identify it in display devices.
6.12.5.2.4 K-Factor
Program this parameter to match the K-factor that appears on the flow sensor connected to this
channel.
6.12.5.2.5 Data Damping Period
You can configure a damping parameter to smooth the flow rate readings or make them more
responsive. The data damping is configurable between 0.2-25.0 seconds. The default data damping
period is 3.0 seconds.
6.12.5.2.6 Reset Total Volume Recorded
The FFM100 maintains the total volume recorded in EEPROM, so that it is maintained across power
cycles. Select this menu entry to reset the total volume recorded to zero.
6.12.5.2.7 Temperature Instance
Program this parameter to match the desired instance number of the temperature reading for this
channel. You can program this parameter to any value between 0 and 252. The default value for this
parameter is 0.
6.12.5.2.8 Temperature Source
Program this parameter to match the desired source type of the temperature reading for this channel.
The default value for this parameter is 129 (User Defined).
6.12.5.2.9 Temperature Label
Program this parameter with a text string which identifies the particular temperature parameter being
monitored by this channel. Maretron display products will display this label text when you are
selecting data to display.
6.12.5.2.10 Fluid Type
Program this parameter to match the type of fluid whos
e flow is being monitored.
6.12.5.2.11 Flow Instance
Program this parameter to match the desired instance number of the fluid flow reading for this
channel. You can program this parameter to any value between 0 and 252. The default value for this
parameter i
s 0.
