Safety ALWAYS wear protective clothing, eye protection and follow standard safety procedures when handling corrosive or personally harmful materials. NEVER use this flow meter with flammable or combustible liquids. NEVER use this flow meter in a hazardous environment. ALWAYS verify chemical compatibility with the flow meter and pump materials of construction before operation. ALWAYS make sure the pump and hose are properly supported.
Section 1 - Installation NOTE: Avoid exposing the LCD for prolonged periods to direct sunlight or the life of the LCD may be reduced. NOTE: Item numbers below reference illustration on page 3. 1. Determine which direction the flow meter display is to face. It is bi-directional and can face either to the right or left but must be kept in the upright position. 2. Wrap Teflon tape on threads of both ends of flow meter (Item 1). Screw Hose Barb Adapter (Item 2) onto discharge end of flow meter.
Section 3 - Accuracy The accuracy of these flow meters is published as Full Scale Accuracy. This means the amount of error is relevant to the Full Scale, which is 50 gpm for the FM1000. For example, if the flow meter is displaying 5 gpm, and you measure the actual flow to be 5.4 gpm, then your full scale accuracy is calculated as (Measured-Actual) / Full Scale...or 5 minus 5.4 divided by 50 which equals .008 or .8%. On the other hand, the Acutal Accuracy is calculated as 5 minus 5.4 divided by 5.
