FPD2000 Series Positive Displacement Flow Meters

General Description:

Omega’s positive displacement gear flow meters are similar in design to a gear pump. The principle of
operation is reversed; instead of the gears driving the medium, the medium drives the gears. A non­intrusive hall-effect sensor detects the movement of the gear and as each gear tooth passes the sensor
a square wave pulse is produced and a discrete volume of liquid is measured. The resulting pulse train
is proportional to the actual flow rate and provides a highly accurate representation of the fluid flow. All
meters are designed with highly wear resistant moving parts to provide exceptionally long service life.

Filtration:

Depends upon model

Fluid Compatibility:

The materials of construction are stainless steel or high strength aluminum housing, stainless steel gears
and stainless steel bearings. The fluids should be compatible with these materials.

Installation Instructions:

The preferred flow direction is etched or marked by an arrow on the meter as this is the flow direction

in which the meter was calibrated however; the flow meters have bi-directional flow capabilities. Damage
will not occur from reverse flow.

The preferred orientation is to mount the meter vertically although horizontal mounting is acceptable
if conditions deter vertical orientation. There is no need for straight run piping upstream or downstream
of the flow meter.

Install the meter upstream from control valves and fluid regulators if possible - see Fig.1. Back
pressure is necessary for stable running.

Eliminate all dirt, debris and metal shavings from the piping as the liquid must be free from any par­ticles larger than allowed by the manufacturer's specifications. Any recommended filtration should be
installed before operation as potential plugging most often occurs at startup.

If possible install a bypass around the meter and flush existing piping with the appropriate solvent
before first use - see Fig.1.

Review the pickup instructional guide prior to installation. Locate the pickup & wiring away from
A/C motors, actuators, heaters, relays etc. Use only shielded cable and do not take power from the same
circuits as other devices. Ensure clean power supplies which utilize a true earth ground. Intrinsic Safety
Barriers must be installed if the circuit is intended to be intrinsically safe.

The pickup sensor should only be installed hand tight… do not use wrenches or channel locks.
Over tightening may cause a dimple to protrude into the meter chamber beneath the pickup and inter­fere with the free gear rotation.
