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.

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.
