Installation The Informer display is an easy to use means of collecting fluid data to help reduce fluid waste and improve processes.
Installation Flow Meter Installation Refer to Fig. 2 to locate and install the flow meter, connectors, and fluid shutoff valves. D D D Flow volume can only be measured at the location where the flow meter is installed. Install a check valve to prevent back-flow. The arrows on the flow meter and check valve show the direction of fluid flow. The shutoff valves allow you to isolate the meter for service.

Installation Display Jumpers and Terminals JP2 The default jumper positions are shown in Table 1. The hardware configuration of the Informer display can be customized by changing jumper positions and wiring the terminals for the desired configuration. Jumper JP2 determines the source of power for the Informer display. When pins 1 and 2 are jumpered together, the Informer display is configured to receive power from an external DC power source, which must be connected to terminals 1 and 2 on connector J1.
Installation Terminals J2 – 1 and 2 Batch Reset Connector J1 terminals are numbered 1 through 4. Connector J2 terminals are numbered 1 through 8. Terminal definitions and typical wiring connections are shown in figures 3 to 4 on pages 9 to 10. An external signal applied to this input will reset the Batch Totalizer to zero if the totalizer is a type t1 or t3, or it will preset the Batch Totalizer if it is a type t2 (see setup parameters for details, page 17). Terminal 1 is the positive connection.
Installation 3. Always ground the fluid supply unit, using one of the following options: Grounding a. Mount the meter to a grounded conductive surface, or WARNING FIRE, EXPLOSION, AND ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD Proper electrical grounding of your system is essential. For your safety, read the warning section, FIRE, EXPLOSION, OR ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD, on page 4. b. Connect the conductive fluid hose to the meter inlet and outlet, or c. Connect a ground wire to the meter’s M6 mounting holes. 4.
Operation Operating the Informer Display Press any button to activate the Informer display (bring it out of “Sleep Mode”). The Informer has two operation modes: Run Mode (page 15) and Setup Mode (page 16). Icons As you move through the various Informer screens, you will notice icons appear at the bottom of the screen. The icons for Flow Rate, Batch Totalizer, and Maintenance Totalizer also appear on the Informer buttons. The icons represent various run and setup functions and alarm activation.
Operation Run Mode When the Informer display is in Run Mode, the current flow rate, batch totalizer, maintenance totalizer, and grand totalizer values can be viewed for the flow meter the Informer display is connected to. cc/min Flow Rate Monitoring Screen Alarms There are two ways the Informer display can be used to notify a user when the Batch Totalizer Target, Main- tenance Totalizer Target, or the Flow Rate Maximum or Minimum Thresholds have been reached.
Operation Setup Mode The Setup Mode is used to set parameters for monitoring fluid flow with the Informer display. Setup parameters are described on page 17. To enter Setup Mode, hold down the enter button same button sequence will exit Setup Mode. , then press the up arrow button Setup Mode is represented by a letter and number on the left side of the display, which indicate the current setup parameter. Setup Mode starts with the A1 (Batch Totalizer Units). .
Operation Setup Parameters NOTE: If the related alarm output is enabled, the values set for the Batch Totalizer Target, Maintenance Totalizer Target, and Flow Rate Maximum and Minimum Thresholds determine when an external alarm will be signaled. See Alarm Outputs on page 18. A1 – Batch Totalizer Units Select liters (L), cubic centimeters (cc), gallons (gal), or ounces (oz) for units of measure. The default setting or down arrow buttons to is cc.
Operation D1 – Flow Rate Units Alarm Outputs Setting the maximum and minimum flow rate threshold values will provide an alarm to alert you that the process is out of specification. The next series of setup parameters allow you to enable (1) or disable (0) the alarm outputs. If the alarm outputs are enabled, the Informer display will send a signal to turn on an external alarm to signal an alarm condition. The default setting for all the alarms is disabled (0).
Operation F3 – Flow Rate Alarm Enable J1 – Battery Powered Operation If enabled (F3=1), the user alarm output will activate when the flow rate is greater than the flow rate maximum threshold value. The user alarm output is also active if the flow rate is less than the flow rate minimum threshold value for three consecutive samples. The alarm occurs after three consecutive samples to avoid alarms when stopping or starting fluid flow.
Operation Examples NOTE: In the following examples it is assumed: D External power supply is used D Meter-mounted Informer package (243312) is used D Default K-factor of 0.12 cc/pulse is accurate D Jumper JP2 is set to position 1–2, all other jumpers and setup parameters not specifically mentioned in the example, are assumed to be in the default position or setting Example 1: Gun Flow Rate Detection Example 2: Batch Dispense Control The informer is used to monitor the flow rate through a gun.
