3.1 Integral Installation with Field Mount Totalizer

HAND-TIGHTEN THE THREADED NUT ONTO THE
INSTALLATION FITTING. DO NOT USE TOOLS!
DO NOT USE THREAD SEALANT OR LUBRICANTS
ON THE FITTING THREADS OR THE SENSOR CAP.

3.3 Plastic Sensor Installation Tips

• Lubricate O-rings with a non-petroleum
based, viscous lubricant (grease)
compatible with the system.

• Using an alternating/twisting motion,
lower the sensor into the fi tting, making
sure the installation arrows on the
black cap are pointing in the direction
of fl ow.

• Engage one thread of the sensor cap
then turn the sensor until the alignment
tab is seated in the fi tting notch.

3.2 Remote Field Mount on Wall

The parts identifi ed in bold type are required for this installation.

Other parts are shown for reference only.
Use 2-conductor shielded cable no more than 30 m (100 ft) long.

3.4 Conduit Base Assembly Detail

1. Insert the wires from the sensor through the yellow conduit

base and locking ring.

2. Insert the locking ring into the conduit base, aligning it so that

the square tab is close to the conduit ports.

3. Insert the mounting screw into the conduit base so the

head of the screw presses down on the locking ring when
tightened.

4. Connect sensor wires to the terminal connections on the

integral totalizer or terminal cover.

5. Remove the plastic pull tabs protecting the batteries, this will

cause the totalizer unit to power up.

6. For remote assembly, connect output wires to terminal cover

output.

7. Route the output wires through the conduit port in the conduit

base. Use a liquid-tight connector or conduit connector to
prevent moisture from entering the assembly.

8. Place totalizer or cover onto conduit base and twist to

lock in place.

3.7 Panel Mount Installation Detail

• The 8150-1P panel mount Totalizer is a standard ¼ DIN package. Use a 92 × 92 mm punch tool to make the panel cutout.

• Minimum spacing of 25 mm (1 in.) between panel units is recommended.

4. Wiring

• The wiring is identical for the panel mount and the fi eld mount versions of the Totalizer.

• Only one wire should be inserted into a terminal. Splice double wires outside the terminal.

• External Reset for Total #1: Use no more than 30 m (100 ft) of 2-conductor twisted-pair cable connected to a dry contact

(for example, an ordinary door-bell button or relay contact).

• Only Totalizer #1 can be reset by the external connection.

• Total #1 will not be displayed unless it is the standard totalizer selection.

Instructions

1. Remove 10 mm (

3

/8 in.) of insulation from sensor cable conductors.

2. Press down on orange lever to open terminal.

3. Insert wire into terminal until it hits bottom.

4. Release the lever to secure wire.

5. Battery Installation and Replacement

Two 3.6 V lithium thionyl chloride batteries, AA-size (7400-0011) are installed in the Totalizer.
NOTE: THE 8150 WILL NOT OPERATE WITH STANDARD 1.5 V ALKALINE BATTERIES.

USE 3.6 V SAFT LS14500 LITHIUM BATTERIES OR EQUIVALENT ONLY!

• Remove pull tabs from the batteries to power up the 8150.

• Observe polarity! Note that both batteries should face the

same direction.

• When the “low battery” indicator appears on the display, both
batteries should be replaced within 90 days.

• Remove and replace battery #1 fi rst, then remove and replace
battery #2.

This ensures that all settings and totalizer values are saved.

• If the low battery symbol reappears for more than 10 seconds
after installing new batteries, one battery is reversed, or battery
#2 was installed before battery #1.

• Secure the batteries by fastening the hook-and-loop straps.

Shipping Notice:

If the battery pull tabs have been removed, remove the batteries from the totalizer prior to shipping.
Dispose of the batteries in accordance with the local regulations.

DISPOSE OF EXPENDED BATTERIES PROPERLY!

Lithium batteries contain hazardous chemicals.
Dispose of batteries in accordance with local regulation.

CAUTION

When replacing batteries,

remove and replace

one battery at a time

Remove and replace
this battery first.

6. Operation

The 8150-1 display shows the fl ow rate in large numerals and
a totalizer value in smaller numerals. Any one of three different
totalizers can be selected as the standard display (See section 8
for detailed information on the totalizers).

Press the ▲ or ▼ keys to scroll through all three totalizer values
during normal operation.

6.1 No Flow and ELAPSED TIME Display

If the fl ow stops, the Flow Rate displays the number of hours
since fl ow was last detected. This display will alternate with the
normal Totalized Value and standard "no FLo" display every
fi ve seconds.
Any movement of the rotor in the pipe will reset the ELAPSED
TIME display.

6.2 Standard Menu Settings

Totalizers are shipped from the factory with these standard settings:

Function: Factory set: Description:
AUTO CALIBRATION No setting; See section 9 for detailed information.
FLOW K-FACTOR 60 Number of sensor pulses per volumetric unit; Refer to sensor manual.
TOTAL K-FACTOR 1 Set the number of volumetric units per totalizer count; see section 11.
TIMEBASE Minutes Select fl ow rate in seconds, minutes, hours or days. Section 12.
DECIMAL XXX.X Set the maximum decimal resolution. Section 13.
SPEED 30 s Zero to 120 seconds averaging stabilizes readings in erratic fl ow conditions. Section 14.
SENSITIVITY 6 Momentarily overrides SPEED when fl ow rate changes signifi cantly. Section 15.
SECURITY CODE 0-0-0-0 Set a private code to prevent tampering. Section 7.
DEFAULT TOTALIZER Permanent Select from three totalizer options. Section 8.
TOTALIZER #2 RESET Reset Totalizer #2 after entering the security code. Section 8.3.

Illustrated: No fl ow for 3 hours
