How to set up or confirm the Full Scale of a Vortex Flow Meter from TacticalFlow Meter

How to set up or confirm the Full Scale of a Vortex Flow Meter from TacticalFlow Meter

The password to adjust these parameters is 22 and we will work with the basic settings for full scale and units.

There are TWO buttons on the top of the Vortex Meter Display board, at abut 11 and 1 on the clock.
Left Click to change screens and when the Password shows up LONG hold the Right Button to invoke the input and use the Left button to advance the number to 2 and when that is in use the Right button to move to the second digit and advance with the Left button to the number 2. When you see 22 LONG hold the Right button and you are in the edit mode.
