CAUTION

This product should be installed and serviced by technically qualified personnel trained in maintaining industrial class flow instrumentation and processing equipment.

I. INTRODUCTION

The FLR Flow Transmitter is a state-of-the-art, micro- processor based variable area flow meter. It combines the rugged proven technology of a piston-type, variable area flow meter with solid state circuitry including:

•Non-contact sensor electronics

•Electronic signal conditioning circuit

•Digital flow rate and total indication

•Proportional analog output

The product is sealed against industrial contamination by a NEMA 12 and 13 (IP 52/54) rated enclosure and is available for either liquid or gas service.

The FLR Flow Transmitter is capable of calculating and displaying both flow rate and total accumulated flow. The flow rate and total flow can be displayed in any of the user selectable measurement units. The monitor’s large 8 digit numeric liquid crystal display makes extended range viewing practical. The second 8 char- acter alphanumeric display provides for selectable units viewing in RUN mode and prompts for variables in PROGRAM mode.

All FLR Flow Transmitters come pre-calibrated from the factory. However, the unit may be adjusted by the user to meet specific system requirements. Calibration parameters are included for:

•Specific gravity compensation (water or petroleum-based fluids)

•Pressure and temperature compensation (pneumatic applications)

Read instructions thoroughly before installing the unit. If you have any questions regarding product installation or maintenance, call your local supplier for more information.

All meters include an analog output that can be config- ured for 0–5 Vdc, 0–10 Vdc, or 4–20 mA current loop.

Applications for the FLR Flow Transmitter include:

•Bearing lubrication

•Case drain verification

•Gun drill and machine cooling

•Pump flow outputs
