ALWAYS make sure the pump and hose are properly supported.

ALWAYS use a chemically compatible hose rated for the temperature of the product being pumped.

ALWAYS place pump tube in liquid before starting.

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing an FM-3000 Series electronic flow meter. The FM-3000 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. One lithium battery powers the unit.

FM-3000 is a rate/totalizer meter – designed to measure and display both the rate of flow and the total flow. In addition, it stops the pump
motor when a preset liquid volume has been pumped.
