Installation
• All electrical equipment must only be installed by
a qualified electrician.
• Understand and follow your local code and safety
regulations for hazardous location wiring of intrinsically safe circuits.
Dust and Foreign Matter
Installation
Installing the Flow Meter
NOTE: You must assemble the meter sensor to the
meter body before connecting the cable to the sensor for
the meter to function properly.
• Flow volume can only be measured at the location
where the flow meter is installed.
• The Fluid Flow Meters are intrinsically safe for Class
I; Division 1; Group D hazardous indoor (NEMA 1)
locations when installed with an intrinsically safe
power device and wiring.
Avoid having dust or foreign matter enter the flow meter
by taking the following precautions:
• Thoroughly flush the fluid supply lines before installing the flow meter.
• When installing fittings, make sure that no sealing
tape overlaps into the inside of the pipe.
• Install a 100 mesh fluid filter upstream of the flow
meter.
Cable
Electronic Sensor Device
Refer to ANSI standards ISA-RP12.6, NEC Article
504 and the Canadian Electrical Code Appendix F.
• Do not use more than 200 ft. (61 m) of cable.
• Refer to F
connectors, and fluid shutoff valves. Install a check
valve to prevent backflow. The arrows on the flow
meter and check valve show the direction of fluid
flow.
• The shutoff valves allow you to isolate the meter for
service.
• Refer to the Technical Data and Dimensions
Drawings for dimension, inlet/outlet size, temperature and other specifications.

Grounding
1. Ground the flow meter by connecting a grounded
cable to the sensor.
Have a qualified electrician check the electrical
grounding continuity between the flow meter sensor
and a true earth ground; remove the cable connector from the sensor and measure the resistance
from the cable connector Pin B to true earth ground.
Refer to F
If the resistance is greater than 25 ohms, check the
cable ground connection. Refer to F
the ground sheath or replace the cable. Do not operate the system until the problem is corrected.

Flow Meter Function
This is a positive displacement, gear flow meter. The
gear flow meter is highly accurate, even with low flow
rates. The fluid flowing through the meter rotates the
gears. The gear tooth is picked up by a sensor device,
which produces an impulse for every gear tooth passing
by.
Recommended Usage
Flow Volume Range
The G3000 and G250 meters flow volume range is
0.02-1.0 gal./min. (75-3800 cc/min.).
The G3000HR and G250HR meters flow volume range
is 0.01-0.5 gal./min. (38-1900 cc/min.).
The S3000 solvent meter flow volume range is 0.01-0.5
gpm (38-1900 cc/min).
NOTICE
The flow meter gears and bearings can be damaged
if they rotate at too high a speed. To avoid high speed
rotation, open the fluid valve gradually. Do not
over-speed the meter with air or solvent. To prolong
meter life, do not exceed the meter’s maximum flow
rate.
Checking the Meter Accuracy
1. To check the accuracy of the meter, turn your gun
fan and atomizing air off, then trigger the fluid into a
graduated cylinder; dispense at least 500 cc of fluid.
2. Measure the volume of fluid in the beaker in
cubic-centimeters (cc) and read the volume on the
flow meter monitor.
G3000 and G250: If the flow meter scale factor is
Do not exceed the maximum working pressure of your
meter or any component or accessory in your system.
• See the Technical Data for fluid and ambient tem-
perature limits.
• Only use the flow meter with fluids that are compati-
ble with the “Wetted Parts” listed in the Technical
Data.
