FLR Flow Transmitter
Installation & Programming Instructions
Zero Capture | Viscosity |
The zero position of the meter cone must be set when installing the meter. To capture the zero calibration position, press ENTER at the ZERO CAP prompt. NO will display. Press either arrow key to change to YES, then press ENTER to capture zero.
Meter Type
Viscosity is used in conjunction with the Meter Size to perform viscosity correction when the Meter type selected is OIL. Enter in SUS units the viscosity of the oil that will be used. Its displayed name is VISC SUS and is viewed or changed using the Numeric Value Entry Procedure found on page 8.
Operating Pressure
The meter can be programmed to compensate for specific gravity, pressure, and temperature depending upon the application. Its displayed name is METER- TYP and is viewed or changed using the List Item Selection Procedure found on page 8.
Note: Refer to Flow Chart on pages 10 and 11. When Meter Type WATER is selected, specific gravity
(SP GRAV) will automatically follow.
Note: Refer to Flow Chart on pages 10 and 11. When Meter Type OIL is selected, meter size (METERSIZ), viscosity (VISC SUS), and specific gravity (SP GRAV) will automatically follow.
Note: Refer to Flow Chart on pages 10 and 11. When Meter Type GAS is selected, operating pressure (OP PRESS ), operating temperature (OP TEMP), and specific gravity (SP GRAV) will automatically follow.
Meter Size
Meter size is used in conjunction with Viscosity to perform viscosity correction. Table 3 lists the available selection choices. Its displayed name is METERSIZ and is viewed or changed using the List Item Selection Procedure found on page 8.

The operating pressure is used in gas applications to compensate for the actual pressure being measured at the meter. Enter the operating pressure in PSI units. Its displayed name is OP PRES and is viewed or changed using the Numeric Value Entry Procedure found on page 8.
Operating Temperature
The operating temperature is used in gas applications to compensate for the actual temperature of the gas being measured at the meter. Enter the operating temperature in ºF units. Its displayed name is OP TEMP and is viewed or changed using the Numeric Value Entry Procedure found on page 8.
Specific Gravity Correction Factor
Specific Gravity is used to compensate for the specific gravity of the liquid or gas being measured with the meter. Its displayed name is SP GRAV and is viewed or changed using the Numeric Value Entry Procedure found on page 8.
Damping
The Damping factor is increased to enhance the stability of the flow readings. Damping values are decreased to allow the flow meter to react faster to changing values of flow.This parameter can range from 0 to 99; factory default is 0. Its displayed name is DAMPING and is viewed or changed using the Numeric Value Entry Procedure found on page 8.
