FLOMEC 02 Series Electronic Flow Meter

IMPORTANT NOTICE

This meter is not approved for use with flammable liquids. Do not use with liquids or chemicals that are not compatible with the wetted materials found in the Specifications section. This meter is not legal for trade applications. This meter is sensitive to electrical “noise” and may not operate correctly if located near certain electrical equipment.

CALIBRATION

This meter has a permanent factory calibration for light viscosity fluids. If installed and used correctly, accuracies of no greater than ±5% will be obtained.

INSTALLATION

This meter may be installed in-line either horizontally or vertically, or at the end of the hose adjacent to the nozzle if present. For best accuracy, provide 10 inches of pipe upstream and 5 inches of pipe downstream. The use of pipe sealant or PTFE tape is acceptable. Review your application for suitability. Attach meter with arrow on outlet port pointed in the direction of flow.
For Aluminum Housings:
Using a wrench, tighten meter at the ends.

For Nylon Housings :
Hand tighten only. Avoid using metal connections, as this could damage the housing.

OPERATION

Batch and Accumulative Totals
This meter maintains two totals: Batch and Accumulative. The Batch total may be reset to measure flow during a single use. The Accumulative total provides continuous measurement and may not be manually reset. The Batch total is labeled TTL1. The Accumulative total is labeled TTL2. When the Accumulative total reaches a maximum reading of 9999, it will automatically reset to zero. Press the DISPLAY button briefly to switch between Batch and Accumulative totals.

Activate the Meter
Turn the meter ON by starting fluid flow or briefly pressing the DISPLAY button. The meter will display the batch or accumulative total from last use.
Press DISPLAY briefly to display the batch total. Hold the DISPLAY button down for three seconds to reset that batch total to zero.
This meter is programmed to turn off automatically if not used for approximately one minute.

Scaled Output Pulse
For every whole unit (Gallon or Litre) that passes through the meter’s Batch Total (TTL1), a single pulse is transmitted via the attached cable. The White wire is signal and the Black wire is common (GND) (See Specifications).

Note : Some interface devices may not have an internal pull-up resistor. Use a minimum 820 ohms resistor if necessary

MAINTENANCE

Proper handling and care will extend the life and service of this meter.

Turbine Rotor
This meter is virtually maintenance-free. However, it is important for the rotor to move freely. Keep the meter clean and clear of contaminants. Remove debris or deposits from the rotor using a soft brush or small probe. Be careful not to damage the turbine rotor or supports.

CAUTION
Blowing compressed air through the turbine assembly could damage the rotor.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

The meter is powered by two AAA alkaline batteries that may be replaced while the meter is installed. When batteries are removed or lose power, the batch and accumulative totals reset to zero, but the factory calibration is retained. If the meter display becomes dim or blank, replace the batteries as follows:

Remove the four Phillips-head screws from the face of the meter and lift the faceplate from the turbine.
Remove the old batteries and clean any corrosion from the terminals.
Install new batteries. Make sure the positive post is in the correct position.
When the batteries are replaced, the faceplate will power ON. Check the display to ensure normal functions have resumed before assembling again.
Re-seat batteries, if necessary, and position the faceplate on the turbine housing. To avoid moisture damage, make sure the seal is fully seated. Tighten the four screws on the faceplate.
