8.0 HOW TO OPERATE THE F-2000
8.1 Theory of Operation
The MODEL RT is the base unit of the F-2000 flow monitoring system. Fluid
flowing through the pipe causes the paddlewheel to spin. Pulses generated by
the spinning paddlewheel are counted and multiplied by scaling factors. The
resulting flow rate amounts and total flow amounts are displayed on the LCD
readout. Pressing the enter button located on the front panel toggles the
display between flow rate and total flow or allows entry into the programming
mode. Pressing the clear total button while the total flow value is displayed
will return the total to zero (must be activated in the programming mode – not
the factory default setting). A small icon will light at the bottom of the LCD
indicating the mode being displayed.
The MODEL PC includes all of the features of the MODEL RT as well as a relay
which can be used to switch external electrical equipment when user programmed
setpoints are reached. The relay must be assigned to respond to either the
rate value for rate alarm applications (rate mode), or to the total value for
batching or proportional feed applications (batch mode). Only one may made be
used at any one time. When assigned to the batch mode, the display can be
toggled to show four different values, the rate of flow, total flow, current
batch number or current batch total, by pressing the enter button located on
the front panel. A small icon will light at the bottom of the LCD display
indicating the mode being displayed. The model PC is described in a separate
instruction manual.
The MODEL AO includes all of the features of the MODEL RT as well as a 4-20mA
or 0-10VDC output signal which is proportional to the flow rate value. This
mode is always active although the output value can not be displayed on the
LCD. A small icon will light indicating the mode is active. The model AO is
described in a separate instruction manual.
The MODEL AP includes the features of all three F-2000 models, the RT, PC, and
AO.

When ordered as a complete system, the F-2000 MODEL RT is factory programmed
to the flow range you specified when you placed your order. See section 5.0
for various flow ranges.
Note: The F-2000 model AO and PC functions will always require field
programming. All F-2000 models will require field programming when components
are purchased separately. See section 7.2 and 7.3.
The following screens are used to input the calibration constants and to turn on or off the various features of the MODEL RT. The MODEL RT has six different input screens. They are listed in the table below.

Before programming the unit, the following calibration constants must be determined. Remember, when purchased as a complete system, the model RT is pre-programmed at the factory. No further programming is necessary.

F-2000
Step 1 Where would you like your displayed flow rate decimal point located?
Desired Location = Dr (Decimal Rate Factor) Note: Four decimal places max.
XXXXX
= 1
XXXX.X = 10
XXX.XX = 100
XX.XXX = 1000
X.XXXX = 1000
Enter your Dr here.
Step 2 What time factor would you like to use in your measurement?
Example: Per Minute = 60 seconds
Per Hour = 3600 seconds
Per Day = 86400 seconds Enter seconds here.
Step 3 To determine your flow rate K-Factor, the following information is needed.
a. What size pipe you are going to install this meter on?
inch pipe
b. What schedule pipe are you using? Sch 40 or Sch 80 or Inline
c. What is your flow range? Low Flow or Standard Flow (refer to pages 20 & 21)
d. Using the data you specified above, locate your K-Factor from the correct table. Pages 20 & 21. e. What is your K-Factor?
f. If you are going to be using gallons as your unit of measure, you can go directly to Step 4.
g. To convert K-Factor to other units of measure, use the following formulas:
Ounces
=K-factor ÷ 128
Liters
=K-factor ÷ 3.785
Cubic Meters = K-factor ÷ 0.003785
Write your new K-Factor number here.
Example:To convert 2″ schedule 80 gallons K-factor to liters, you will use the
following formula:
Note: Locate your K-factor off the table on pages 20 & 21.
58.82 (K-factor) 3.785
=
15.54
Your new liters K-factor is 15.54
F-2000
Page 19
Step 4 Calculate your Rate Scale Factor (Sr) using the following formula.
Dr from Step 1, Seconds from Step 2, K-Factor from Step 3.
Sr =
Dr x Seconds K-Factor
Example:
D r
= 10
Sr =
10 x 3600 63.52
Seconds = 3600 Sr =
36000 63.52
K-Factor = 63.52 Sr = 566.751
Write your Sr (Rate Scale Factor) number here.
Step 5 Where would you like your displayed accumulated Total Decimal (Dt) point located?
Desired Location =
XXXXX = XXXX.X = XXX.XX = XX.XXX = X.XXXX =
Dt (Total Decimal Factor)
Note: Four decimal places maximum.
1
10
100
1000
10000
Enter your Dt here
Step 6 Determine your Total K-factor.
Your Total K-factor and Flow Rate K-factor are the same if the same units
(i.e., Gallons, liters, etc.) Are displayed for both. However, you can use a
different unit of measure for your total display. Follow the instructions in
step 3-g to convert to a different Total K-factor unit. Write your Total
K-factor here.
Step 7 Calculate your Total Scale Factor (St) using the following formula.
St =
Dt K
Example:
St =
Dt K
St =
1 58.82
St = 00.0170
Note:
The Total Scale Factor may be carried out to four decimal places.
Write your Total Scale Factor (St) here.

9.0 MAINTENANCE
The F-2000 requires very little maintenance, however, some conditions will
cause increased wear or possible damage to the unit.
· Periodically remove the sensor assembly from the pipe fitting and inspect
the meter for signs of wear and obstructions. Clean the paddle of any foreign
objects. Replace the paddle and axle if worn. To minimize wear or fouling by
debris, long hairs or string, install a filter or strainer before the flow
meter.
· Although the meter is capable of operating at the high end of the flow
range, continuous use at very high flow rates (upper 25% of the calibrated
flow range), is not recommended. The paddle and axle life is related to the
rate of flow and the fluid being measured. Corrosive fluids moving at high
flow rates will cause increased wear requiring frequent inspection and
maintenance.
· Although the F-2000 is designed to withstand outdoor conditions, a cool, dry
location where the unit can be easily serviced is recommended. The life of the
LCD display will be severely reduced when installed in direct sunlight. Do not
install the meter so that the LCD is in direct sunlight.
· O-rings should be inspected periodically. Immediately replace the o-rings at
any sign of wear, swelling, cracking or discoloration.
· Battery operated models. Replace the four AA batteries every 12 months. The
program memory will not erase when replacing the batteries. The unit will
function normally for approximately 2 minutes while replacing the batteries.
To replace the batteries, open the front panel of the enclosure by removing
the four Phillips screws. After replacing the batteries, be sure the foam
insert is in place before closing the front panel.
· Test the electronics by removing the sensor assembly from the pipe fitting
and spinning the paddle by hand. If a reading does not appear in the display
window, replace the batteries. If a reading still does not appear, the
circuitry must be serviced by an authorized service center.
Step 1: Locate notch on the sensor body.

Step 2: Push shaft out in the direction shown.
Step 3: Replace the paddle, then press shaft back into place in the opposite
direction.
