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. 1. The meter must be installed so the arrows molded in the body of the meter point away from the pump discharge. 2. Slide two o-rings (Items 3) over threads of flow meter body (item 1) until they reach the face of the body. Wrap Teflon tape on threads of both ends of flow meter. Screw the Hose Barb Adapter (Item 2) onto discharge end of flow meter.
Setting Desired Batch Control Volume Press the Mode Menu button three times. It will cycle through “Vol”, “Flowrate” and the final menu option is called “Preset” (this is displayed in the top left of the meter display). The “Preset” menu controls the batch size. When in the “Preset” mode, the bottom right hand corner displays the batch size. Using the “+” and “-“ keys adjust the batch size to the desired amount (the amount is shown in the lower right hand corner).
Four Flow Ranges There are four flow ranges. Range 1 is factory set for water. The other three are user adjustable. Each range totals independently from the other ranges. These ranges can be used to calibrate the meter for different fluids or to accommodate different flow ranges (low, medium and high flow for example). Changing From One Range To Another Press the “+” button to change to another range. Push the button repeatedly until the desired range is reached.
Section 4 - Maintenance The FMBC-3000 Series was engineered for low maintenance; however, some conditions will cause increased wear on the paddle and/or possible damage to the unit. Damage caused by corrosives incompatible with the meters materials of construction or abrasive fluids is not covered under warranty. • Replace the battery when the low battery indicator (“Batt”) is displayed in the lower right hand corner.
