GENERAL INFORMATION and SPECIFICATIONS
GENERAL INFORMATION
This unique system of 2" to 8" turbine meters uses just one
moving part, a precision helical rotor. Rotation of the rotor
is electronically detected and processed. The high-quality
jewel bearings and polished zirconia ceramic shafts minimize
friction while providing long wear life in non-lubricating
fluids. The entire rotor assembly can be easily removed
for field service without removing the meter from the pipe.
FTB700-P bodies are fabricated from Schedule 80 PVC
fittings, and FTB700-C bodies from carbon steel tubing.
The FTB700-S meter (available as special order only) is
fabricated from stainless steel tubing, with a turbine insert

of single piece casting stainless. Turbine rotors on all models
are Kynar (PVDF).
FTB700-Series meters can be or dered with various
output options. The basic model (FTB700) comes with
pulse output only. An electronics module FTB700-D can
be mounted to display flow rate and total (resettable or
non-resettable), and provide a programmable pulse or
4-20 mA output. The FTB700-T is a blind 4-20 mA transmitter.
All of these controls/displays can be mounted on the meter
or remotely mounted on a wall or panel up to 2,000 feet away.

INSTALLATION
CAUTION: These water meters are not
recommended for installation downstream
of the boiler feedwater pump where installation fault may expose the meter to boiler
pressure and temperature. Maximum rec-
ommended temperature is 120˚ (PVC) or 200˚ (Metal).
Piping Conditions. Installing the meter with 10 diameters
of straight pipe upstream and 5 downstream is recommended.
FTB700-P
Flanges. For 3-8” FTB700-C and -S meters, standard
flanges are 150 lb. ANSI drilling. 2” FTB700-C or -S meters
and all FTB700-P meters can be installed with optional
flanges according to pipe manufacturer’s recommendations.
For FTB700-P a bolt torque of 10-20 ft-lbs. for 2” flanges,
20-30 ft-lbs. for 3” and 4” flanges, and 35-50 ft-lbs. for 6”
flanges is recommended.
Either partial or full-face gaskets can be used. Tighten the
bolts evenly. Use care to prevent a misaligned gasket from
entering the flow stream.
Position. The FTB700-Series are all-position meters, operable in a ver tical or horizontal position, with the meter insert
in any radial position. A horizontal position is preferred if
there is a risk of air becoming trapped due to constant low
flows. Operating the meter in partially-filled pipe will result
in inaccuracies.

MAINTENANCE and REPAIR
Recalibration. If it is necessary to recalibrate the meter
for any reason, please contact Omega.
Turbine Insert Removal and Installation. First remove all
pressure from the line. Then remove the screws that hold
the insert in place (or the U-clip in the 2” meters) and tug
gently until the insert comes free. A twisting motion can
help to loosen the O-ring seal. Reverse the procedure to
reinstall, after coating the O-ring with a plastics-compatible
lubricant. Do not over tighten the screws. Snug tightening
with a hand screwdriver is sufficient.
Rotor and Shaft Replacement. Examine the rotor to determine if bearings or shaft are damaged or excessively worn.
The rotor should spin smoothly and freely, with no visible
wobble. Back and forth play should be very minor, less than
1/64”. If it is necessary to replace the rotor or shafts, first
back out both shafts with a small blade screwdriver. The
rotor will come free as soon as the shaft ends come free
of the rotor bearings. Reverse the procedure to reinstall.
Note:Do not over tighten the shaft screws. Check to be
sure that a small amount of free play between the shaft
ends and the bearings remains.
Sensor Replacement. This is rarely necessary. However,
certain electrical conditions can damage the sensor. To
replace it, first remove the electronics module. Disconnect
the sensor leads from the electronics module terminals and
remove the threaded plug over the sensor. Finally, remove
the sensor by pulling on the sensor leads. A gentle tug
should be sufficient. Reverse the process to replace the
sensor.

modules have replaceable
components. Printed circuit
boards must be replaced as
complete units. In order to
replace an entire electronics module, loosen the four
retaining screws and the unit
will lift free from the inser t
