GENERAL INFORMATION & SPECIFICATIONS
Designed for use as a meter accessory, the PWD divider is used
primarily for pacing electronic metering pumps. Any number
from one to 9999 can be set on rotary switches. Each time the
divider has received the set number of pulses from the meter,
it puts out one pulse to stroke the pump. The PWD is also
useful in boiler and cooling tower feed and bleed operations,
and for lowering frequency output of high frequency meters.
Compatible with all Dwyer Instruments Inc. pulse output ow
meters, the PWD creates a programmable pulse meter with
an easily adjustable pulse rate.
The PWD comes in two different housings: an enclosure that
can be mounted near the pump, and a watertight housing for
mounting on the meter.
INSTALLATION & CONNECTIONS
MOUNTING
The PWD-M is factory-mounted on the ow sensor. The PWD-
W is mounted by attaching it to the metering pump with the
included double-backed, pressure-sensitive tape. Alternatively,
the control can be wall mounted with screws using the mounting brackets that extend out either side.
PWD-W/LMI PUMP
The 24" pigtail that extends from the PWD-W connects to an
LMI metering pump and is connected as shown.
The input connector on the control mates with any three-pin
Dwyer® connector. (Dwyer® Meters or ow sensors to be used
with a PWD-W should be ordered with Dwyer® connectors.)

POWER SOURCE
Power for the PWD can be supplied by the metering pump if
the pump has a sensor power supply. Some pumps require
an external power supply, available from Dwyer Instruments
Inc. LMI pump and Dwyer® connectors are available.
CAUTION:
Power supplies 18 Vdc and higher must be regulated to
prevent damage to the PWD caused by voltages exceeding
its 30 V allowable maximum supply voltage due to AC line
variations and light loading.
CONNECTIONS
The PWD-M can be connected as shown.

*CAUTION: If power is supplied to the ow sensor from the

exceed the sensor's allowable maximum input voltage.
PWD-W/NONLMI PUMP
If a metering pump is used that requires a connection other
than the LMI connector supplied, cut the LMI connector off.
Connect the PWD-W to the pump using the diagram below in
conjunction with the wiring diagram in the pump manual.

SETTING
WARRANTY/RETURN
The four numbered rotary switches marked "1000", "100",
"10", and "1" control the ratio of meter pulses to pump
strokes. Before setting the switches, disconnect power
to the unit by removing the connector from the pump or
unplugging the power adapter.
To set any four-digit number, rotate the dials to the appropri-
ate numbers. For example, to set 1521, set the four switches
to "1", "5", "2", and "1". Any unused switches should be set to
zero. For example, to set 8, position the dials to "0", "0", "0",
"8". See samples below.

Pump connector not plugged in all the way Check or tighten threaded locking
ring (LMI)
Pump doesn’t supply power to the PWD Check pump manual, add power
supply
PWD set to large number or all zeroes Check rotary switches, esp. for
leading zeroes
Pump strokes continually Pump not set for external pacing Check pump manual and selector
switch
Pump doesn’t stroke often enough PWD set for wrong number Review setting on this page, check
or too often rotary switches
Multiple contacts from meter Set PWD to 1 contact/pump stroke
(0001) and see if the pump strokes
once for each magnet revolution
