Pulse Meter Instructions

General Information

FTB8000A-Series meters use the multi-jet principle,
which has been an internationally-accepted standard
for many years. This type of meter is known for its wide
range, simplicity, and accuracy in low-quality water. The
impeller is centered in a ring of jets, with inlet jets on
one level and outlet jets on another. A gear train drives
the register totalizer dials. For pulse output, one of the
dials is replaced by a gear, which turns a magnet that
is detected by an encapsulated sensor threaded into
the outside of the lens. Pulse rate is determined by the
gear and the dial on which the gear is placed.

Mechanically, all FTB8000A-Series meters are the
same. The difference between -PR, -PT and Standard
meters is in the sensor. -PR meters use a solid-state,
long-lasting Hall-effect sensor, which requires power.

-PT meters use a two-wire reed switch. They provide a
dry contact closure and do not require power. Standard
meters totalize only and do not have a sensor.
