Before You Install
Thank you for choosing to install a Max Machinery precision ow meter. To ensure the best experience please take a
moment to read through this manual prior to installation.
When you purchased this meter a ow engineer helped determine many of the factors that will be reviewed on the
following pages. You may nd it useful to ll out the form below and keep it in your les for reference.
When you are ready to install there will be a few tools you will need:
Meter Installation:
The meter and transmitter
A signal cable (available from factory)
The display or signal processing device
Indicator Manual
Calibration Certicate
Bypass plumbing supplies
Many Max meters are installed and operate for decades, so having the following information in your records may prove
useful. We have provided this outline as a starting point.

Meter General Description
The Max 210 Series Flow Meters are positive displacement
piston type units capable of great accuracy over a wide range
of ow rates and uid viscosities. The four basic sizes of this
series (213, 214, 215, 216) will measure ows from 1 cc/min
to 25 gal/min. Various “O” ring and internal plating options
are available to meet temperature and uid compatibility
requirements.
In a piston type ow meter, four pistons and cylinders are
arranged in a radial fashion around a central crankshaft.
Two uid ports on the cylinder wall, a port at the top of the
cylinder, and a grooved piston enable uid entering the ow
meter’s central cavity to be measured and pumped out by each piston in turn. The valving action for each cylinder is
accomplished by the piston adjacent to it. The accuracy of a piston ow meter is dependent on close tolerances in the
cylinder wall and piston. Max Machinery regularly holds tolerances as ne as 0.00005 inches in the production of these
meters.
The movement of the pistons is converted to a circular motion at the
central crankshaft, which is coupled to a magnet in the ow meter. This
motion is sensed by an external electronic transmitter, which converts
ow into a voltage, pulse train, or current for further processing.

The Max Series 210 Meter can be expected to perform superbly if
operated within the connes of its design envelope. For this reason,
it is important to read this manual and understand the operational
requirements and limits of the meter. Our Technical Service staff will be
happy to answer any questions that this manual does not cover.

Transmitter General Description
Max transmitters are designed to work with the entire family of Max Flow Meters to provide extremely precise ow
measurement in a cost effective package. Different options of industrial housings or IP66 rated explosion proof
enclosures, combined with a choice of one-part and two-part, high temperature designs with remote electronics cover a
wide range of application environments – from the laboratory to harsh industrial processes.
This latest generation of transmitters use modern sensor technology coupled with advanced signal processing to deliver
high levels of performance and reliability. Hall sensors are used to detect the position of a driven magnet inside a Max
Flow Meter. Changes in position are tracked by a microprocessor, which generates an output proportional to the ow
rate. Advanced signal processing provides both ne angular resolution (0.36 degrees rotation) and rapid response
(output updated every one millisecond).
Max transmitters are typically mated to a mechanical ow meter, congured, and calibrated at the factory as a set.
This ensures accuracy and allows quick setup in the eld. For eld installations where the transmitter has not been set
up with a meter at the factory, an optional serial interface kit may be purchased to give full access to conguration
options
and parameters.
Transmitter Features
High resolution measurement –
Analog Output: Congured output ranges to any value within ± 10 Vdc or ± 20 mA.
Frequency Output: Congured output resolution of 1 to 1000 pulses per revolution.
Linearization of up to 16 points to fully describe the ow meter’s output curve and achieve the highest system
linearity over the meter’s entire operating range.
Compensation Algorithm – Compensates for variations in Hall sensor and ow meter characteristics to provide a stable,
undamped output that accurately represents the instantaneous ow rate. This feature is factory set when the meter
and transmitter are mated together. If the transmitter is changed, the compensation can be performed via a button on
the circuit board.
Anti-Dither Buffer - Masks the false output that may occur at very low ow rates in the presence of vibration or hydraulic
noise. If the meter reverses direction the output signal will be interrupted for a user selected portion of a meter rotation.
Reverse ow exceeding the buffer setting will result in an output proportional to reverse ow rate. The buffer quantity
can be set from 1% to 100% of a revolution.
