2. Calibration
The FPM-5800 flow metering system utilizes the AC signal amplitude
from the FP-5100 or FP-5300 sensor to drive the FPM-5800 meter.
The front panel meter movement adjustment (SPAN) is easily accessed
under the removable front window for simple calibration. A dial kit
with six dial ranges, assorted flow unit/multiplier decals, and dial
installation instructions is included for your convenience.
Equipment Required
• Frequency counter
• OMEGA FP-5100 or FP-5300 Sensor installed in the process line
• Maximum (stable) flow rate induced in the process line
• Standard and phillips head screwdriver
Procedure
1. Induce the maximum (stable) flow rate in your process line.
2. Using the frequency counter, monitor and record the FP-5100 or
FP-5300 sensor frequency output (Hz), see diagram below:

Technical Notes:
• Use 2-conductor shielded cable for sensor cable splices up to 60 m
(200 ft)
• Maintain cable shield through cable splice.
• Route sensor cable away from AC power lines.

4. Install the appropriate dial face and flow unit/multiplier decal
covering your flow system's maximum flow rate (step 3). Refer to
dial installation instructions included with dial kit.

Sensor Frequency = ___________________________ Hz
Technical note:
Sensor frequency MUST be greater than 45 Hz for full scale needle
deflection.
3. Calculate the actual maximum flow rate in your process line as
follows:
Maximum flow rate = Sensor frequency (step 2) X A-Factor
(Section 6)
Example: A flow system's maximum flow rate is 18.3 GPM. The
proper dial and flow unit/multiplier decal for this flow system is:
0 - 2 dial + GPM X 10 decal
5. Disconnect frequency counter, then access and adjust the "SPAN"
potentiometer to match the calculated maximum flow rate (step 3).
After adjustment, calibration is complete.

5. Maintenance
• Front window: Never wipe the front window with static retentive
cloths such as wool or polyester which may induce a static charge. If
a static charge develops on the window, the indication needle may
appear erratic or non-functional. When this occurs, clean the front
window with an anti-static cloth, or a soft cotton cloth and anti-static
spray, or a mild liquid soap solution to remove the static charge.
