For your safety, review the major warn-
ings and cautions below before operat-
ing your equipment.
The apparatus enclosure may con-
tain aluminum and is considered to
constitute a potential risk of ignition
by impact or friction. Care must be
taken into account during installa-
tion and use to prevent impact or
friction.
Part of the enclosure is constructed
from plastic. To prevent the risk of
electrostatic sparking the plastic
surface should only be cleaned with
a damp cloth.
1. Use
only fluids
that are compatible
with the housing material and wet-
ted components of your turbine.
2. When measuring flammable liq-
uids, observe precautions against
fire or explosion.
3. When handling hazardous liquids,
always follow the liquid manufac-
turer’s safety precautions.
4. When working in hazardous envi-
ronments, always exercise appro-
priate safety precautions.
5. Always dispose of used cleaning
solvents in a safe manner accord-
ing to the solvent manufacturer’s in-
structions.
6. During turbine removal, liquid may
spill. Follow the liquid manufac-
turer’s
safety
precautions
for
cleanup of minor spills.
7. Do not blow compressed air
through the turbine.
8. Do not allow liquids to dry inside the
turbine.
9. Handle the rotor carefully. Even
small scratches or nicks can affect
accuracy.
10. When tightening the turbine, use a
wrench only on the wrench flats.
11.
For best results, always verify ac-
curacy before use.
Product Description
FLOMEC® Industrial Meter Turbines
are identified by the internal diameter of
the inlet and outlet.
Model 05 – 1/2 inch
Model 07 – 3/4 inch
Model 10 – 1 inch
Model 15 – 1
-
1/2 inch
Model 20 – 2 inch
Each turbine is designed to work with
onboard computer electronics and/or
with one of several accessory output
modules.
Liquid flows through the turbine hous-
ing causing an internal rotor to spin. As
the rotor spins, an electrical signal is
generated in the pickup coil. This signal
is converted into engineering units (gal-
lons, litres, etc.) on the local display.
Accessory modules can be used to ex-
port the signal to other equipment.
Upon receipt, examine your meter for
visible damage. The turbine is a preci-
sion measuring instrument and should
be handled as such. Remove the pro-
tective plugs and caps for a thorough
inspection. If any items are damaged or
missing, contact your distributor.
Make sure the turbine model meets
your specific needs. Refer to the Spec-
ifications Section and confirm the fol-
lowing:
1. The flowrate is within the limits of
your model.
2. The liquid is compatible with the tur-
bine’s wetted components.
3. The system’s pressure does not ex-
ceed the turbine’s maximum pres-
sure rating.
