IMPORTANT NOTICE
Use these meters with water and other chemicals compatible with wetted components (see
Specifications Section). Do not use to meter
fuel or incompatible chemicals. Omega meters
are available with either a computer for local
electronic display, or a conditioned signal output
module to provide a digital signal to customer
interfacing equipment. Omega meters with
computer display measure in gallons or litres.
Refer to the Calibration Section for details.
These meters are not legal for trade applications.
Omega meters are very sensitive to electric
noise if operated within 1 to 2 inches of some
electric motors or other sources of electronic
noise.
INSTALLATION
Connections
Install your meter in-line either horizontally or
vertically or at the end of the hose adjacent to
the nozzle. Installation to metal connections is
not recommended. Install as follows:
1. Plan to install turbine with a minimum
straight pipe length as follows:
• Upstream from the turbine, allow a mini-
mum straight pipe length of 10 times the
internal diameter of the turbine.
• Downstream from the turbine, allow a
minimum straight pipe length of 5 times
the internal diameter of the turbine.
2. For NPT Fittings wrap all connections with
3 to 4 wraps of thread tape. Make sure the
tape does not intrude into the flow path.
3. Attach meter with arrow pointed in the
direction of flow.
4. For NPT Fittings - Hand tighten the meter
at the housing ends. Do not use a wrench
or similar tool to tighten. This can damage
the housing.
5. For Flange Fittings - Customer to provide:
• Ring Gaskets or Full-Face Gaskets ap-
proved for use with ANSI flanges and the
fluid being monitored (2 required).
• 5/8" bolts and nuts: 4 per side for 3-inch
meters; 8 per side for 4-inch meters.

Ten feet (3 m) of cable is provided with the
module. Trim the cable to desired length or
extend it as necessary.
Verify Meter Accuracy
Before using, check the meter’s accuracy and
verify calibration.
1. Make sure there is no air in the system
by starting the flow until it runs steadily.
Then, stop or divert the flow using a valve
or nozzle.
2. Meter an exact known volume into an accurate container. For best results, meter
with one continuous full stream.
3. Check the volume against the display or
recording equipment. If the amount metered
is accurate, further calibration is not necessary. If not, refer to the Calibration Section
for further instructions.
OPERATION
Computer Display –
Batch and Cumulative Totals
The computer maintains two totals. The Cumulative Total provides continuous measurement and
cannot be manually reset. The Batch Total can
be reset to measure flow during a single use.
The Cumulative Total is labeled with TOTAL 1,
Batch Total is labeled TOTAL 2 BATCH.
When the Cumulative Total reaches a display
reading of 999,999 the computer will highlight
an X10 icon. This indicates to the operator that
a zero must be added to the 6 digits shown.
When the next rollover occurs, the computer
will highlight an X100 icon. This indicates to the
operator that two zeroes must be added to the
6 digits shown.
Press the DISPLAY button briefly to switch
between the TOTAL 1, TOTAL 2 BATCH and
FLOWRATE. Press DISPLAY briefly to display
the TOTAL 2 BATCH. Hold the DISPLAY button
for 3 seconds to reset the Batch Total to zero.
When fluid is flowing through the meter, a small
propeller icon is highlighted.
NOTE: Totalization counts total units without
differentiating between gallons, litres or
field calibrated units.
Flowrate Feature
To use this feature, press and release DISPLAY
until FLOWRATE icon appears. The factory
set time base will be highlighted to the right of
FLOWRATE (M = minutes, H = hours, D = days).
When FLOWRATE is invoked, the display will
be indicating rate of flow.
Activate the Meter
Computer is on continuously and always ready
to perform. The computer is powered by field
replaceable batteries. When display becomes
dim, faded or the low battery message appears
(see below), the batteries need to be replaced.
Reference the Maintenance Section for details.
Factory and Field Calibration
All calibration information is visible to the user
as icons on the top line of the display, above
the numeric digits.
All units are configured with a “factory” calibration. Both gallons and litres are available (“GL”
or “LT” will be displayed). While holding the
CALIBRATE button, briefly press DISPLAY to
toggle between gallons and litres. This factory
calibration (indicated with FAC) is permanently
programmed into the computer and is not user
adjustable.
NOTE: Your computer may have other units of
measure programmed into it. If so, holding
the CALIBRATE button and momentarily
pressing the DISPLAY button will toggle
through all factory set units. Other possible units are: IGL (imperial gallon), QT
(quart), CF (cubic feet), CM (cubic meter),
BL (42 gal. barrel), CC (cubic centimeter)
or OZ (ounce).
3
Switching between different units will not corrupt
the Total’s contents. For example, in GL mode,
the computer totalizes 10.00 gallons, if the user
switches to LT mode, the display will read 37.85
litres (the same volume, different unit).
The “field” calibration may be set by the user,
and can be changed or modified at any time
using the calibration procedure described below
in the Calibration Section. Totals or flowrate
derived from the field calibration are invoked
when the FAC icon is no longer visible on the
top line of the display.
CALIBRATION
Verify Accuracy Before
Beginning Field Calibration
For the most accurate results, dispense at a
flowrate which best simulates your actual operating conditions. Avoid “dribbling” more fluid or
repeatedly starting and stopping the flow. This
can result in less accurate calibrations.
Make sure you meet the meter’s minimum
flowrate requirements:
Omega Meters
3 inch meter 30 GPM (113.6 LPM)
4 inch meter 40 GPM (151.4 LPM)
The use of a uniformly dependable, accurate
calibration container is recommended for the
most accurate results. Due to high flowrate, it
is strongly recommended that calibration be
completed with a combination of volume and
weight using fine resolution scales.
For best results, the meter should be installed
and purged of air before field calibration.
Field Calibration with
Computer Display
Field Calibration and Factory Calibration are
defined in the Operation Section. Factory
calibration settings are programmed into each
computer during manufacturing, using water
at 70° F (21° C). Readings using the Factory
Calibration (FAC) may not be accurate in some
situations, for example, under extreme temperature conditions, non-standard plumbing
configurations or with fluids other than water.
Field Calibration Procedures
(Correction Factor Method)
1. To calibrate, press and hold the CALIBRATE
and DISPLAY buttons for about 3 seconds
until you see FLdCAL. Release both buttons
and you will see CF - 00.0. You are now in
the field calibration mode and values from
-99.9% to +99.9% can be entered.

be applied to all enabled units.
and hold both CALIBRATE and DISPLAY
buttons for about 3 seconds until FAcCAL
is displayed. Then release buttons. Unit
should return to normal operation and FAC
icon is visible.
Calibration with Conditioned
Signal Output Module
The K-factor of your meter appears on the
calibration report as the number of pulses per
gallon. The factor is determined during production using water at 70° F (21° C). This K-factor
may be used for “single point” calibration
and provide acceptable accuracy. However,
readings may not be accurate when using this
calibration method in some situations. For
example, extreme temperature conditions,
non-standard plumbing configurations or with
fluids other than water.

MAINTENANCE
Proper handling and care will extend the life
and service of the meter.
Turbine Rotor
The meter is virtually maintenance-free. However, it is important the rotor moves freely. Keep
the meter clean and free of contaminants.
The rotor can be removed for cleaning and
inspection. Begin by unscrewing the nose cone
from the outlet end of the meter. A 1/4" square
socket extension can be used. Remove the
lock and flat thrust washers. Rotor can then be
removed from shaft. Note orientation because
rotor is not bi-directional. Remove debris or
deposits using soft brush or small probe. Reassemble in reverse order.
CAUTION
Blowing compressed air through the turbine
assembly could damage the rotor.
Battery Replacement
The computer display is powered by two
3-volt lithium batteries which may be replaced
while the meter is installed. When batteries are
removed or lose power, the batch and cumulative totals and the field and factory calibrations
are re tained.
If the display becomes dim, blank or the low
battery message appears (see below), replace
the batteries as follows:
1. Remove the four Phillips-head screws from
the face of the meter and lift the faceplate
from the turbine.
2. Remove the old batteries and clean any
corrosion from the terminals.
3. Install new batteries. Make sure the positive
post is in the correct position.
4. When the batteries are replaced, the faceplate will power ON. Check the display to
ensure normal functions have resumed
before assembling again.
5. Reseat batteries, if necessary, and position the faceplate on the turbine housing.
To avoid moisture damage, make sure the
seal is fully seated. Tighten the four screws
on the faceplate.
