Introduction
Thank you for purchasing an FM-2000 Series electronic flow meter. The FM-2000 Series is designed to measure the flow of a fluid being dispensed from Finish Thompson’s PFP, PFM, & PFV drum pumps. The meter is factory calibrated and displays information on an LCD display. In
addition, the meter can be field calibrated to improve accuracy at a given flow rate. Four AA batteries power the unit for up to one year. There
are options for materials of construction and measurement units
FM-2000 is a rate/totalizer meter – designed to measure and display both the rate of flow and the total flow.
