Initial Meter Setup
You can set up the meter using the TFX-500w keypad or the SoloCUE Flow Device Manager software This document
addresses procedures using the TFX-500w keypad To use SoloCUE, see the
"SoloCUE Flow Device Manager Installation Guide"
available at
www.badgermeter.com
When you start the meter for the first time, you must select a language, press
ENTER
, then press

PIPE
PIPE MATERIAL
Select the material of the pipe
PIPE TYPE
Select the pipe schedule for ANSI pipes or manual entry of the outside diameter (O D ) in
millimeters or inches If you select manual entry, you will need to enter the pipe wall thickness
The available options are based on the pipe material selected If you do not see a valid option,
check the pipe material setting
PIPE SIZE NOMINAL
When you select an ANSI pipe schedule, you need to select the nominal pipe size in inches If
you do not see a valid option, check the pipe type
