FLR Flow Transmitter Installation & Programming Instructions Installation Recommendations The transmitter is a simple device to install. However, the following measures are recommended for reliable, trouble-free operation: DO - Align pipe accurately. Piping should be accurately aligned and of correct length. The high pressure body of the transmitter can withstand shock and flow/pressure pulsation.
FLR Flow Transmitter Installation & Programming Instructions Schematics The transmitter can be wired in various configurations to allow interface with many different types of data collection and control instrumentation. Schematics 1 & 2 represent typical wiring for a target powered by either AC power or DC supply. Schematics 3 & 4 will be utilized when the flow transmitter is operated with loop-powered process indicators or data loggers that do not have external sensor excitation available. ® Figure 3.
FLR Flow Transmitter Installation & Programming Instructions FLR FLOW INLET PORT Place wrench on transmitter flats on the same side plumbing is being tightened Never place wrench on transmitter flats opposite plumbing being tightened Figure 5. Flow Direction Arrow Installing the Transmitter 1. Disconnect electrical power from the target system before making or changing any transmitter connections. 2. Use 0.05A fast acting fuse if non-current limited power sources are utilized. 3.
FLR Flow Transmitter Installation & Programming Instructions ENTER - The current total can be manually stored in the monitor's flash memory. Press and hold the ENTER key for 2 seconds. The display will respond with a flashing TOTALSVD and then will return to RUN mode. RESET TOTAL - To reset the monitor total display, press the MENU and ENTER keys simultaneously until TOTALRST starts to flash. The TOTALRST will stop flashing and the display will return to RUN mode at the conclusion of the reset procedure.

FLR Flow Transmitter Installation & Programming Instructions Zero Capture Viscosity The zero position of the meter cone must be set when installing the meter. To capture the zero calibration position, press ENTER at the ZERO CAP prompt. NO will display. Press either arrow key to change to YES, then press ENTER to capture zero. Meter Type Viscosity is used in conjunction with the Meter Size to perform viscosity correction when the Meter type selected is OIL.
FLR Flow Transmitter Installation & Programming Instructions Output Mode The FLR Flow Transmitter offers three analog output modes: • 4–20 mAOutput Signal • 0–5 Volts DC Output Signal • 0–10 Volts DC Output Signal The output mode selected is determined by the type of peripheral device being connected to the FLR Flow Transmitter. The displayed name is OUT MODE and is viewed or changed using the List Item Selection Procedure found on page 8.
FLR Flow Transmitter Installation & Programming Instructions Password WARNING Password protection prevents unauthorized users from changing programming information. Initially the password is set to all zeros. Its displayed name is PASSWORD and is viewed or changed using the Numeric Value Entry Procedure found on page 8. Do not use aromatic hydrocarbons, halogenated hydrocarbons, ketones, or ester based fluids on polycarbonate lens.
FLR Flow Transmitter Installation & Programming Instructions Inspection 1. Frequent inspection should be made. The environment and frequency of use should determine a schedule for maintenance checks. It is recommended that it should be at least once a year. 2. Perform visual, electrical, and mechanical checks on all components on a regular basis. 3.
FLR Flow Transmitter Installation & Programming Instructions Application Information – Pneumatic NOTE: Pressure and temperature readings must be taken at the flow transmitter inlet to ensure accurate correction factors. The pneumatic flow transmitter is calibrated for air in standard cubic feet per minute (scfm) at 1.0 s.g. (70°F @ 100 psi), and liters per second (lps) at 1.0 s.g. (21°C @ 6.9 bar). Figure 10.
