PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
This computer electronics is designed specifically for use on FLOMEC® Industrial
Grade Turbine Housings. It is also designed to work with several accessory output
modules.
The CMOS, microprocessor-based electronics have extremely low power
requirements and data retention capabilities in both RAM and ROM. Information is
clearly displayed on a large 6-digit LCD readout with three-point floating decimal for
totals from .001 to 999,999 (x1), 9,999,990 (x10), or 99,999,900 (x100). All
operations are easily accessed with the two buttons on the front panel.
In a FLOMEC Industrial Grade turbine meter, liquid flows through the turbine housing
causing an internal rotor to spin. As the rotor spins, an electrical signal is generated
in the pickup coil. This pulse data from the turbine is translated into calibrated flow
units shown on the computer's display readout.
INSTALLATION
Before installation, ensure your computer model meets your specific needs. Refer to
the Specifications Section to confirm required features. The model number of your
computer is displayed on the outside wall of the computer housing and also inside the
computer housing on the floor of the battery holder.
If you ordered your computer electronics with a turbine body, the electronics are
installed at the factory.
If you ordered your computer separately as a replacement, simply plug in the pickup
coil connector and mount the computer on your turbine body with the four screws at
the corners of the faceplate. Make sure the seal is fully seated before tightening the
screws.
If you ordered the computer with a turbine body and an accessory module, please
review and thoroughly understand all installation instructions before proceeding.
All FLOMEC turbine meters are designed to measure flow in only one direction. The
direction is indicated by the arrow on the turbine outlet port. If the computer display is
upside down in your installation, remove the four screws, turn the display 180 degrees
and reinstall the screws. (See Figure 4)
NOTE:
When rotating the computer
display, it is not necessary to
disconnect the pickup coil connector,
however, care should be taken to
avoid inadvertent strain on the
connector wires.
