1.0 INTRODUCTION TO THE F-1000

Congratulations on purchasing the F-1000 electronic flow meter. The F-1000 is designed to measure the flow of a fluid in a pipe. The meter is factory calibrated to any engineering units and displays the rate of flow or the total of flow on a 6 digit LCD display. Two AAA batteries power the unit for up to one year. There are three models are available:

F-1000-RB is a rate meter - designed to measure and display the rate of flow.

F-1000-TB is a totalizer meter - designed to measure and display the total flow.

F-1000-RT is a rate/totalizer meter - designed to measure and display both the rate

of flow and the total flow.

4.0 HOW TO INSTALL THE F-1000

4.1 MOUNTING LOCATION

Note: All diagrams are strictly for guideline purposes only. Always consult an

expert before installing the F-1000 on specialized systems.

Note: The F-1000 should be serviced by qualified persons only.

Although the F-1000 is designed to withstand outdoor conditions, a cool, dry

location where the unit can be easily serviced is recommended. The life of the LCD display will be severely reduced when installed in direct sunlight. Do not install the meter so that the LCD is in direct sunlight.

The F-1000 can be mounted on horizontal or vertical runs of pipe (see figure 4, 5 and 6). Mounting anywhere around the diameter of vertical pipe is acceptable, however, the pipe must be completely full of water at all times. Back pressure is essential on downward flows.

The F-1000 accuracy is affected by disturbances such as pumps, elbows, tees, valves in the flow stream. Install the meter in a straight run of pipe as far as possible from any disturbances. The distance required for accuracy will depend on the type of disturbance.

The pipe must be completely full at all times. Air bubbles or air pockets in the flow stream will adversely affect the reading. A small amount of back pressure is recommended in horizontal runs of pipe.

The F-1000 is powered by two AAA batteries. Life expectancy is one year minimum.

F-1000

4.2 PIPE FLOW STREAM REQUIREMENTS

The F-1000 accuracy is based on steady, undisturbed flow with a fully developed turbulent flow profile. Pulsating, swirling and other disruptions in the flow stream will effect the meter’s accuracy.

The F-1000 is factory calibrated to ± 2% of full scale rate reading. When measuring total flow, accumulated error over time must be considered. Accuracy is based on laboratory testing of nominal pipe dimensions. Your actual accuracy will vary based on your actual pipe I.D. And other installation factors.

There are two basic types of flow profiles; turbulent and laminar (see figure 3). Turbulent flow exists when the speed of the fluid flowing in the pipe is nearly constant across the entire width of the pipe. This is typical of low viscosity fluids; like water, flowing at high velocity. Laminar flow exists when the speed of the fluid flowing in the center of the pipe is greater than the speed of the fluid at the outer edge near the pipe wall. This is typical of high viscosity fluids flowing at low velocity. Because the F-1000 is measuring the fluid near the pipe wall only (especially in larger pipe sizes), a constant flow velocity across the flow stream is required.

Pipe Cross Section

Flow Velocity Profile

Fig. 3

Fully Developed Turbulent Flow

To determine which type of flow exists in your installation, the following is required:

Flow rate of the fluid in GPM - Q

Specific gravity of the fluid - G

Pipe inside diameter in inches - D

Fluid viscocity in centepoise - V

Use the following equation to determine the REYNOLDS NUMBER:

REYNOLDS NUMBER = 3160 x Q x G

D x V

Flow conditions with a Reynolds Number greater than 4000 is fully developed turbulent flow. A Reynolds Number less than 2000 is laminar flow. The F-1000 requires a Reynolds number greater than 4000 to maintain accuracy.

4.3.1 DRILL THE MOUNTING HOLE

Select an area on the pipe as outlined in section 4.1. Be sure the surface area of the pipe is clean and smooth.

Drill a 1-1/8" diameter hole through the pipe wall. The F-1000 meter can be installed up to 45 degrees from the top of the pipe. A hole saw kit is available from the factory, order part number 20000-062.

Clean all burrs from inside and outside the hole. Use fine sandpaper (440 grit) if necessary.

4.3.2 INSTALL THE SADDLE

Insert the alignment tool through the top of the saddle. Proper alignment is critical! Slide the large O-ring over the bottom of the alignment tool and into the groove on the underside of the saddle.

With the alignment tool and O-ring in place, position the saddle over the drilled hole. Insert the alignment tool into the hole seating the saddle. Be sure the Oring is properly seated in the O-ring groove. Place the pipe clamps around the pipe and into the slots on the saddle. Tighten the clamps in an alternating method.

4.3.3 CHECK THE SADDLE ALIGNMENT

Pull the alignment tool out of the saddle. (If the tool is not easily removed, slightly loosen the clamps) Inspect the hole. The saddle must be mounted directly over the hole. Adjust the saddle alignment until the alignment tool slides freely in and out of the saddle.

Be certain the O-ring is properly seated and visible in the groove around the hole.

Tighten the clamps.

Page 10

F-1000

4.3.4 INSTALL THE F-1000 SENSOR

Be sure two O-rings are located on the sensor body. The O-rings have been lubricated at the factory with silicone oil.

Push the sensor assembly into the saddle with a twisting motion. The notch on the sensor body must fit into the slot on the saddle. Be sure the sensor is fully inserted into the saddle.

HAND TIGHTEN the union nut.

4.4 INSTALLING THE MOLDED IN-LINE FITTING (MI)

All molded in-line (MI) fittings have male American National Standard Taper Pipe

Threads (MPT).

Select an area on the pipe as outlined in section 4.1.

Install the F-1000 as you would any other plastic pipe fitting. Be sure the inlet and outlet fittings are aligned properly. Improper alignment of the fittings will put stress on the adapter connections and may cause leaking or fitting damage. Do not over tighten the fittings. Use PTFE tape sealant only on the adapter threads.

The F-1000 can be mounted on horizontal or vertical runs of pipe. Mounting at the twelve o'clock position on horizontal pipe is recommended. Mounting anywhere around the diameter of vertical pipe is acceptable, however, the pipe must be completely full of water at all times. See figure 4, 5 and 6.

Be sure the inlet and outlet plumbing is properly secured. The F-1000 is not designed to support the weight of related piping. Improperly supported pipes will put stress on the adapter connections and may cause leaking or fitting damage.

4.5 HOW TO INSTALL MOLDED PVC TEE FITTINGS (TE)

Select an area on the pipe as outlined in section 4.1.

Remove the F-1000 sensor from the tee fitting. Do not glue the TEE while the sensor is installed.

Install the F-1000 tee fitting as you would any other plastic pipe solvent weld (glue) fitting. Do not use too much glue. Excessive glue may create a disturbance in the flow stream which will effect the accuracy of the meter.

Install the F-1000 sensor. Be sure two O-rings are located on the sensor body. The O-rings have been lubricated at the factory with silicone oil. Push the sensor assembly into the saddle with a twisting motion. The notch on the sensor body must fit into the slot on the saddle. Be sure the sensor is fully inserted into the saddle.

5.0 HOW TO OPERATE THE F-1000

Note: The calibrated units of measure such as GPM, LPM, M3H, GALLONS,

LITERS, CUBIC METERS, etc., And the decimal point location are preprogrammed at the factory to standard flow ranges (see chart). Any unit of measure can be factory programmed. Please contact the factory for details.

The meter is shipped from the factory with 2 AAA batteries installed.

When measuring continuous flow (i.e. 24 hours per day, 7 days per week), do not operate the meter in the upper 25% of the calibrated flow range. The paddle speed in these high flow ranges is fast. Damage to the paddle may occur if the meter is allowed to run continuously at the high flow rate, especially with corrosive or abrasive fluids.

Model F-1000-RB:The F-1000-RB is the basic rate meter. The meter will display the rate of flow from .01 through 999999 in any engineering units. Some standard units of measure are GPM, GPH, GPD, LPM, LPH, LPD, M3H, etc.

Model F-1000-TB:The F-1000-TB is the basic totalizer meter. The meter will display the total flow amounts from .01 through 999999 in any engineering units. Some standard units of measure are GALLONS, LITERS, CUBIC METERS. Pressing and holding the RESET button (located on the front panel) for at least

2.0 seconds resets the total to zero. This feature can be disabled -- see Fig. 12 below.

Model F-1000-RT:The F-1000-RT is the rate and totalizer meter. The meter will display the flow rate amounts and the total flow amounts from .01 through 999999 in any engineering units. Some standard units of measure are GALLONS PER MINUTE, GALLONS PER HOUR, GALLONS PER DAY, LITERS PER MINUTE, LITERS PER HOUR, LITERS PER DAY, CUBIC METERS PER HOUR, CUBIC METERS PER DAY. Pressing the RESET button (located on the front panel) toggles the display between flow rate and total flow. Pressing and holding the RESET button for at least 2.0 seconds while the total flow value is displayed will reset the total to zero. This feature can be disabled . See Fig. 12 below.

7.0 HOW TO MAINTAIN THE F-1000

The F-1000 requires very little maintenance, however, some conditions will cause increased wear on the paddle and/or possible damage to the unit. Damage caused by corrosive or abrasive fluids is not covered under warranty.

Periodically remove the sensor assembly from the pipe fitting and inspect the meter for signs of wear and obstructions. Clean the paddle of any foreign objects. Paddle and axle wear can be caused by chemical attack and/or abrasive fluids. Replace the paddle and axle if worn. Various axle materials are available for corrosive fluids.

Although the meter is capable of operating at the high end of the flow range, the meter should not be allowed to operate continuously at flow rates in the upper 1/4 or 25% of the calibrated flow range. The paddle and axle life is directly related to the rate of flow and the fluid being measured. Corrosive and abrasive fluids moving at high flow rates will cause increased wear requiring frequent inspection and maintenance. Ceramic, titanium or nickel axles are available for corrosive and abrasive fluids.

Although the F-1000 is designed to withstand outdoor conditions, a cool, dry location where the unit can be easily serviced is recommended. The life of the LCD display will be severely reduced when installed in direct sunlight. Do not install the meter so that the LCD is in direct sunlight.

O-rings should be inspected periodically. Immediately replace the o-rings at any sign of wear, swelling, cracking or discoloration.

The meter is designed to withstand minor condensation inside the enclosure. Prolonged excessive moisture inside the enclosure, due to high humidity conditions, may damage the meter. Reduce the humidity or move the meter to a less humid location.

Replace the two AAA batteries every 12 months. The program memory is “nonvolitile” and will not erase when replacing the batteries. Processing power will be maintained for about 45 seconds, preventing the lose of totalizing data, while the batteries are being replaced. To replace the batteries, open the rear panel of the enclosure by removing the two Phillips screws. After replacing the batteries, be sure the foam insert is in place and the panel gasket seal is in good condition, before closing the rear panel.

Test the electronics by removing the sensor assembly from the pipe fitting and spinning the paddle by hand. While spinning, the number “0” reading in the display window indicates that the battery is supplying power to the meter but a signal is not being processed by the circuitry. In this case, the circuitry must be serviced by an authorized service center.
