SECTION 1.0: INTRODUCTION

!

We, at ONICON Incorporated, would like to thank you for purchasing our quality, U.S. made, Turbine
Flow Meter. As our valued customer, our commitment to you is to provide fast reliable service and
assistance, while continuing to offer you new products to meet your growing ow measurement needs.

1.1 PURPOSE OF THIS GUIDE

We have written this guide to provide the persons responsible for the installation, operation and
maintenance of your turbine ow meter with the most specic equipment information they will
need. This is NOT an electrical or plumbing trade manual.

WARNING

Please do not permit any persons to install, operate or maintain this equipment unless they have a
complete knowledge of their trade skills and are competent to work on high pressure hot and cold
water systems, according to their individual trades. Death or permanent injury may result from
accidents with these systems.

This guide is the basic reference tool for all ONICON Turbine Flow Meters. If you have not
purchased all of the options, there will be references in this manual which are not applicable to
your meter(s).

1.2 TYPICAL TURBINE FLOW METERS

ONICON’s Turbine Flow Meters measure the velocity
of owing liquids by counting the frequency at
which the blades of a rotating turbine pass a xed
electrode. Circuitry within the ow meter electronics
enclosure then converts the rotational rate to digital
and/or analog signals which are transmitted via
a connecting cable to any of ONICON’s display
devices, BTU meters and/or a data acquisition
system.

SECTION 2.0: UNPACKING

Turbine ow meters are generally shipped in one package unless optional hardware or equipment is
ordered. This package may contain up to two complete meters along with the optional installation kits.
Any display equipment ordered with the meters, will be packed separately. Please open all packages
with caution to avoid damaging to their contents. In the event that anything is damaged when you
receive it, notify the shipping company immediately and the ONICON customer service department.
Most products are shipped insured unless the customer specically requests otherwise.

2.1 CHECKING THAT YOU HAVE RECEIVED EVERYTHING

The Documentation

Enclosed with each ow meter is a comprehensive documentation package which
includes the following items:

• Installation and Operation Guide

• Flow Meter Calibration Certicate

Please notify the ONICON customer service department if any documents are missing.

The Flow Meter

The ow meter was carefully packed prior to shipment and should arrive without any
damage. Prior to installation, inspect for physical damage such as broken turbine blades or
a damaged stem.

• Test the turbine(s) to see that they rotate freely when you gently blow on them
parallel to their shafts.

• Make sure that the threads on the insertion meter hot tap adapter have not been
damaged.

• Inspect the insertion meter stem for bends or other damage. The stem forms
the seal against liquid leakage as it slides through an ‘O’ ring inside the hot tap
adapter. Deep scratches may cause leakage.

• The serial and model numbers on the laminated wiring connection /calibration
data tag attached to the meter should match the numbers on the tag mounted
directly on the ow meter. Be sure that the unit was calibrated to the correct pipe
size and ow range.

SECTION 3.0: INSTALLATION, REMOVAL & ADJUSTMENT

!

! i !

WARNING

Insertion ow meters may often be installed in pipes which are under high pressure. Accidents
with these systems can cause serious injury or death. Only persons experienced with high pressure
systems and related knowledge in the heating, cooling and uid metering elds should attempt to
install adjust or remove the ow meter. Carefully read the installation and removal instructions in
this manual before performing any work on these meters.

ONICON will be happy to assist with technical recommendations and to provide guidance by
telephone or e-mail. On-site eld engineering, installation and service is also available at additional
cost.

3.1 INSTALLATION SITE SELECTION

Install the ow meter where it will be accessible for personnel to perform necessary periodic
maintenance. The clearance required for insertion meter installations is typically 23”-36”
from the pipe wall to the nearest obstruction above the valve assembly. This clearance
dimension will increase with large diameter pipes. Allow at least 6” of clearance for inline
meter installations. The environment should be free of corrosive liquids/fumes, temperature
extremes and heavy vibration. The following information should be used as a guide to the
proper location for installing the meter.

GENERAL PRACTICES:

1. For best results, install the ow meter in a straight run of pipe, free of bends,
tees, valves, transitions, and obstructions.

2. Straight run requirements vary based on the nature of the upstream obstruction.
Review the following pages for guidelines in determining minimum
upstream straight run requirements based on the nature of the obstruction.

Note: Depending upon specic location details, more or less straight run may be
required to produce a satisfactory ow prole.

3. If there is insufcient straight run, allow 80% of the run upstream and 20% of the
run downstream. If the total length of straight run is less than 70% of the
recommended length, performance may seriously degrade, and consideration
should be given to changing to the series F-3000 In-line Electromagnetic Flow
Meter.

How To Determine The Available Straight Pipe Diameters:

For each application, locate the longest straight, unobstructed section of pipe (no bends, tees, valves,
other insertion probes, size transitions). The longest straight pipe run in inches divided by nominal
pipe size in inches equals “diameters of straight pipe.” For closed loop applications, consider both
the supply and return lines as possible locations.

IMPORTANT NOTE

Always use the maximum available straight run. When more than the minimum required
straight run is available, place the meter such that the excess straight run is upstream of the
meter location.

Insufcient Straight Run Guidelines for Bi-directional Flow Applications

If there is insufcient available straight run, allow 50% of the run upstream and 50% of the run
downstream. If the total length of straight run is less than 20 diameters, performance may degrade
and consideration should be given to changing to the F-3100 or F-3200 In-line Electromagnetic
Flow Meters.

Some installations may work better with straight run optimized for ow in one direction. For
example, with ow meters installed in the bypass line between de-coupled constant volume
primary and variable secondary loops, it may be more important to accurately measure positive
ow (from supply to return.) Negative ow measurements (from return to supply) are generally
less critical, and it may be enough just to know that any negative ow is present. In this scenario,
maximizing straight run for positive ow might be a preferred strategy.

IMPORTANT NOTE

Always use the maximum available straight run. When more than the minimum required
straight run is available, place the meter such that the excess straight run is upstream of the
meter location.

3.3 INSERTION METER MECHANICAL INSTALLATION

!

! i !

ONICON Insertion Turbine Flow Meters employ a hot tap adapter design that allows for
insertion and removal, when necessary, without interrupting ow and draining the pipe. To take
advantage of this feature, the ow meter must be installed through an isolation valve. The
installation must also allow for sufcient overhead clearance to fully extract the meter, and a full
1” opening in the pipe wall is required to clear the sensor head and allow for insertion. Make sure
that your valves and ttings are full port and at least 1” in actual internal diameter.

CAUTION

ONICON insertion style ow meters must be installed through a valve assembly. Failure to do so
negates the ability to remove the meter without shutting down ow and draining the system. It will
also result in an excessive amount of stem protruding from the pipe. Excessive stem lengths
unneccessarily expose the meter to incidental damage.

Flow meters installed through oversized access holes will be subjected to undesirable turbulence
that may affect the accuracy of the meter.

3.3.1 Insertion Meter Installation Kits

ONICON offers a wide range of installation hardware kits for commonly used pipe
materials. The kits are specically designed for ONICON insertion ow meters, and their
use is recommended. Refer to Appendix B of detailed infromation regarding ONICON
installation hardware kits.

The use of ONICON installation hardware kits accomplishes two important objectives.
First, it ensures that the proper hardware is used. Second, it simplies order processing
by standardizing the dimensions of the installation hardware. ONICON must have an
accurate measurement of the overall height of the installation hardware as measured from
the outside wall of the pipe to the top of the valve in order to determine the correct stem
length when assembling insertion meters in our factory. ONICON documents refer to this
dimension as the stack height.

ONICON installation hardware kits consist of three separate component parts:

Some type of

threaded branch

outlet,

interconnecting

An

close nipple,

And a full port

isolation valve.

Different pipe materials require different branch outlets and may include additional
bushings to properly size the opening.

3.3.2 ONICON Standard Installation Hardware Kits

Standard installation hardware kits are designed to be installed on piping systems that
are drained and at atmospheric pressure. The access hole is drilled (1” minimum) prior
to installation of the branch outlet with 1” NPT threads, the close nipple and full port ball
valve. Once the isolation valve is installed, the piping system can be ushed, lled and
pressurized. The ow meter may now be inserted or removed by hand without having to
stop ow or drain the system. Please read all instructions before proceeding with meter
insertion.

3.3.3 ONICON Hot Tap Installation Hardware Kits

ONICON offers an alternative installation hardware kit when it is not practical to relieve
pressure and drain the system. In this case, a 1¼” branch outlet, a close nipple and a 1¼”
full port ball valve are installed rst. Then, a hot tap drilling apparatus is used to drill a 1”
diameter hole through the valve. This eliminates the need to stop ow and drain the
pipe. Please read all instructions before proceeding with meter insertion.

3.3.4 Customer Supplied Installation Hardware

!

! i !

There are occasions where circumstances require that the customer provide the
installation hardware or that the ow meter be installed through existing hardware.
In these cases, it is important to conrm that the installation hardware is suitable for use
with the ow meter provided by ONICON before it is installed. The installation must
allow for sufcient overhead clearance to fully extract the meter and a full 1” opening in
the pipe wall is required to clear the sensor head and allow for insertion. Make sure that
your valves and ttings are full port and at least 1” in actual internal diameter.

Installation hardware generally consists of three separate component parts:

Some type of

threaded branch

outlet,

An

interconnecting

close nipple,

And a full port

isolation valve.

IMPORTANT NOTE

Do not use threaded steel or slip PVC tees to provide the 1” opening in the pipe. Tees of this
type will cause signicant errors in the ow measurement.

CAUTION

In order to provide the ow meter with the correct stem length, ONICON must know the
overall height of the installation hardware as measured from the outside wall of the pipe to
the top of the valve where the meter is installed.

CAUTION

Use stainless steel or brass nipple only.

3.3.5 Conrming the Stack Height

ONICON insertion ow meter stem lengths vary according to the pipe diameter and the
height of the installation hardware stack. ONICON records the stack height dimension
provided by the customer at the time of order entry, and the information is used to size the
stem. This dimension is shown on the laminated insertion depth gage tag attached to the
meter.

Prior to installing the meter, conrm that the stack height recorded on the tag is close to
the actual stack height. Flow meter stems are intentionally over sized to allow for
variations of at least 2” in the stack height. Contact ONICON prior to installation if there
is any question regarding stack height or stem length. This will allow ONICON to offer
you credit for your meter if you decide to exchange the meter for one with a different stem
length. Returns may be subject to a restocking fee.

3.4 INSTALLING THE INSERTION METER

!

!

WARNING

SYSTEM MAY BE UNDER HIGH PRESSURE. When installing the meter, adjusting its position
or removing the meter, be sure to hold the electronics enclosure rmly by hand before SLOWLY
loosening the positioning clamping nut. Failure to do this will allow the pressure to suddenly and
rapidly force the meter from the pipe causing serious injury. The meter could also be damaged or
break apart causing a break in the water seal with the resultant loss of large amounts of water. The
hand effort required to hold the meter will be 0.11 times the pipe pressure.

Begin by calculating the effort that will be required to hold the meter. Establish adequate footing for
this task, taking extra caution when working from a ladder or platform. Use the following formula:

E=0.11xP Where: E = effort in pounds
P = system pressure in pounds per square inch

Example: In a 300 PSI system, 33 pounds of effort is required to insert the meter into the pipe.

Installing the meter with a factory supplied depth gage:

WARNING

When you are ready to rell the system, make sure that all lines are lled with water before inserting
the turbine assembly into the stream. If the lines are not lled, air may interrupt the owing stream
and damage the turbine assembly. A greater danger is that if this is a hot water system, some water
may ash into steam and exceed the high temperature limit for the turbine and its mechanical
assembly. This ash over could exceed the pressure ratings of the meter and the assembly could fail
allowing steam and hot water to escape causing serious injury.

After tting the necessary plumbing hardware, ush the
entire system so that it is free of ux, solder and slag.
Prepare to install the ow meter by loosening the clamping
nut and withdrawing the turbine assembly fully into the
hot tap adapter. Next, thread the adapter on to the ball
valve using a paste type thread sealant. Do not use Teon
tape as torn strands of the tape may wind around the
turbine, slowing down or even stopping the turbine.

Check the installation for leaks by slightly opening the
ball valve. An ‘O’ ring in the adapter seals the meter
stem against leakage. If there are any leaks around the
clamping nut or stem, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO STOP THE

LEAKAGE BY OVERTIGHTENING THE CLAMPING
NUT. Damage to this nut or the clamping ring under the
nut may prevent the assembly from properly holding
the meter in the pipe. The clamping nut is not part of the

sealing mechanism. Any leaks in this area indicate that the
‘O’ ring is not sealing properly and you must contact the
factory for assistance.

clamping nut, and insert the meter until the
bottom of the electronics case touches the eye of
the depth gage. (Pierce insulation with gage until
the tip touches the pipe.)

2. Position the electronics enclosure parallel to
the pipe in the proper direction relative to the
ow. This will position the turbine with its axis
in line with the ow and in the correct direction.

3. Tighten the position clamping nut. Contact
ONICON for assitance when installing a meter

FLOW

CAUTION

Do not release the ow meter until you have tightened the position clamping nut enough to hold the
ow meter in the desired position. This will require less torque than you might think, so be careful
not to overtighten it and risk damaging the adapter, nut or stem.

NOTE: For installations with a limited straight run of pipe (less than the recommended distances
shown on pages 10 and 11), adjustments in insertion depth may be needed to compensate for
velocity ow prole variations. Please contact the factory for information on velocity ow
proling for determining the average velocity location in undeveloped ow locations.

3.4.1 Adjustment of the Meter Insertion Depth

WARNING

If adjustment of the meter depth is required, the same procedure must be followed as if the meter
were being removed. Please carefully read the section below on removal of the meter. Remember, the
meter may be under high pressure and failure to follow the procedure may result in serious injury.

3.5 REMOVAL OF THE INSERTION METER

WARNING

Remember, the meter may be under high pressure. And while removal of the meter is basically the
reverse of the insertion procedure detailed above, care must be taken to ensure that the meter is
supported against the pipe pressure before the position clamping nut is loosened. Failure to do this
will allow the pressure to suddenly and rapidly force the meter from the pipe causing serious injury.

WARNING

Prior to removal of the meter, make sure that you are standing on a secure platform and have both
hands available to manipulate the ow meter.

Turbine Flow Meter Manual 05/14 - 0721-3 / 13518 Page 17

First support the ow meter against the pipe pressure

!

by holding the electronics enclosure rmly in hand
BEFORE loosening the position clamping nut. The

effort required is the same as that required for insertion
of the meter and should be calculated according to the
formula in section 3.4 covering insertion of the meter.
This effort will be 0.11 times the pipe pressure. If your

footing is not secure, or if your ability to hold the
meter is limited for any reason, DO NOT loosen the
clamping nut.

SLOWLY loosen the position clamping nut and
carefully and slowly allow the pressure to force the

meter out of the pipe. This is not at all difcult, but you
must not let go of the meter until it is fully withdrawn
into the hot tap adapter. Do not attempt to close the ball
valve until you are certain that the turbine assembly is
fully withdrawn into the hot tap adapter.

A common cause of damage to meters comes from
accidentally closing the valve and crushing the turbine
assembly. To avoid this, gently rotate the meter by
swinging the electronics enclosure back and forth
(twist the stem, do not bend it) while you slowly
close the valve. If the valve touches any part of the
meter, you will feel it as you are moving the meter. If
the valve touches anything, it means the meter is not
fully withdrawn. Usually a gentle twisting motion while withdrawing the meter will clear any
obstruction and permit the meter to withdraw completely. (Excessive build-up on the stem may
require the hot tap ‘O’ ring to be lubricated with silicone.)

Continue to hold the meter in place after the valve is completely closed to prevent the turbine
assembly from slipping back into the valve body. Slowly unscrew the hot tap adapter from the
valve. Once the adapter is loosened, allow pressure to vent from inside the hot tap adapter before
removing it from the valve. There will be a small amount of water inside the hot tap adapter. A
small container can be held under the valve to catch any spilled water. Once the meter has been
moved to its new depth, tighten the position clamping nut. Next, place several turns of electrical
tape around the stem just above the clamping nut so that at a later time, when the meter is
removed for service, it can be easily replaced at the same depth.

WARNING

In hot water systems, even a small amount of water can cause serious personal injury. Use extra
caution when working with hot water meters.

3.6 INLINE METER STRAIGHT RUN REQUIREMENTS AND MECHANICAL INSTALLATION

Locating the meter

1. Install process connections (sweat or threaded end pieces) making certain to leave adequate
straight unobstructed pipe runs upstream and downstream of the meter location.

a. The minimum upstream straight run should be at least 20 diameters and the downstream
straight run should be at least 5 diameters in length.
b. If more than 25 diameters of straight run are available at the installation site the excess
straight run should be upstream of the meter location.
c. Please note that ONICON strongly recommends the use of strainers upstream of the meter
location.
d. ONICON also recommends the installation of isolation valves and a bypass loop to
accommodate servicing the meter.

3.7 WIRING CONNECTIONS

Make connections to the 10’ cable, which is supplied by ONICON and is pre-wired to the circuit
board.

CAUTION

Do not attempt to make any connections inside the electronics enclosure, or to remove factory
installed cable, strain relief or conduit tting. Damage resulting from these actions will not be
covered under warranty.

The most common cause of electronic failures are miswired connections. If you are adding
additional cable, please record any substitution of wire colors. If additional cable is purchased
from ONICON, the color code can be maintained. Cable from other sources will most likely have a
different set of colors. Please refer to Appendix A for wiring diagrams and factory color codes.

Only qualied service personnel should make connections between the ow meter and the user’s
external equipment. Any misapplication of power and/or ground can result in improper operation
or damage to the ow meter circuitry, and to any externally connected equipment.

4.1 HELPFUL HINTS FOR START-UP AND COMMISSIONING

Step-by-step procedures and companion worksheets are located on the next four pages. Please
read all installation instructions carefully before proceeding with start-up and commissioning.

Please read these helpful hints before proceeding with the start-up and commissioning procedure
on the next page.

1. ONICON ow meters are individually calibrated for a particular application. Be sure to
verify the pipe size and location.

2. The electronic sensing systems will not work in air. Blowing on the turbine(s) will
not produce a signal. You can test the meter by holding the turbines under a faucet or
carefully moving it back and forth in a bucket of water.

3. When measuring analog output signals, remember that current (mA) must be measured
in series, while voltage is measured in parallel. If the 4-20 mA signal is already
connected to a control system, you must break the connection and measure the signal
in series.

4. When measuring frequency outputs in Hertz, take your multimeter out of “autorange
mode” and manually set the range for a voltage level above 15 VDC. This will prevent
false readings when no turbine signal is present.

5. All wiring connections should be made at the end of the factory cable. Do not attempt
to remove the factory installed cable or change the orientation of the electronics
enclosure.

6. Never connect power to analog or frequency output signal wires. ONICON turbine ow
meters are not “loop-powered” devices.

7. Allow up to 45 seconds for signals to stabilize following power up.

otherwise, take the various output readings as quickly as possible.

Measure and

output(s):

Compare actual straight pipe upstream and downstream of the meter location to recommended distances
identied in the installation manual. Note that the manual is very conservative, assuming worst-case pipe
obstructions. Contact ONICON to discuss specics of your application. If straight pipe run is very short,
consult factory PRIOR to installing a single turbine meter to discuss possibility of upgrade to a dual turbine
meter.

Conrm that the meter is tagged for the pipe size in which it is installed. When in doubt, measure the
circumference of the pipe. Pipe O.D. = (circumference / 3.14) – (insulation thickness x 2)

Each ow meter comes with an attached insertion gage and instruction tag. Ensure the meter is inserted to
the correct depth and that the electronics enclosure is parallel with the pipe, with the arrow in the direction
of ow.

Conrm that the control system input point is properly congured for the analog range (or digital pulse
factor) identied on the ow meter calibration tag & certicate

Conrm that the ow meter serial number matches the ONICON display or BTU meter serial number (when
ordered together).

Prior to connecting the power, verify that the wiring is correct as shown in this manual (and/or with the
additional wiring diagram provided with ONICON display or BTU meter.) If in doubt, call ONICON for
assistance before proceeding further.

Verify that 24 (+/- 4) V is available. Serial Numbers 115692 and later can accept 24 V DC or AC, but earlier
meters required 24 VDC. Note: ONICON display module or BTU meter provide 24 VDC to the ow meter.
ONICON display modules and BTU meters are typically powered by 120 VAC; however, low voltage versions
are also available.

The average frequency output signal is a 0-15 VDC pulsed output ranging up to 500 Hz and must be
measured with a frequency counter or oscilloscope. Measure DC frequency (Hz) from GREEN(+) to
BLACK(-). Also measure DC volts on same wires. Five to seven VDC is normal for a spinning turbine, 0 or
14+ VDC indicates a stopped turbine. (A reading of 1 to 4 VDC could indicate a problem)

GPM = Frequency in Hz X 60

Refer to ow meter wiring diagram for wire colors for the various outputs available based on your particular
ow meter model. Use the following formulas to calculate ow rate from measured analog signals:

GPM = (measured current in mA - 4) X Full Scale Analog Flow Rate
16
GPM = measured DC volts X Full Scale Analog Flow Rate
10
Same calculation as step 9, except use “divided meter factor” (measure and record frequency)

Each contact closure = unit volume identied as “Scale Factor” (measure and record time interval between
contact closures.)

The top and bottom turbine frequencies (dual) should ideally be within about 20% of each other and their
average should equal the average frequency output.

Compare the ow rates calculated in STEPS 9 and 10 to each other and to the ow rate indicated by the
control system. Refer to troubleshooting guide when readings are inconsistent.

SECTION 5.0: ANALOG ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE

ONICON electronic circuits are designed and tested to ensure long life with minimal drift. It
should not be necessary to make eld adjustments or calibrations. It may, however, be necessary
to rescale the analog output under the following conditions:

• The turbine was replaced with a new one that has a signicantly different meter factor.

• It is necessary change the full scale ow rate for the analog output.

• An analog output meter is being moved to a different size pipe.

ONICON will clean, test and recalibrate the meter for a small fee. One or two day turnaround
service is available when required. The information in this section is provided only for those
instances where you cannot return the meter service and factory calibration. ONICON will
provide assistance when performing this procedure via the telephone, if necessary.

While these adjustments are not complicated, they are crucial to the accuracy of the ow meter.
Adjustments should only be made by qualied personnel having an understanding of ow
equations and experience with control systems.

5.1 GENERAL DISCUSSION

ONICON insertion turbine ow meters measure the velocity of the uid owing in the pipe.
Proprietary electronic impedance sensing circuitry detects the rotation of a freely spinning axial
turbine, which is immersed in the ow stream. As each turbine blade passes a xed electrode,
an electronic pulse is produced by the circuitry. In the case of single turbine meters, the pulse
rate is then calibrated in terms of the number of pulses per gallon for whatever size pipe the user
has selected. This number is referred to as the METER FACTOR. For example an insertion ow
meter might have a meter factor of 31.3 PPG (Pulses per Gallon) in 3” pipe. The meter factor is the
calibration factor used to dene the calibrated frequency output signal provided by all ONICON
turbine meters. This frequency output signal can be used directly by some data acquisition
systems. Other systems will require additional signal conditioning. In those cases, ONICON uses
this signal to drive our analog and digital outputs.

Dual turbine meters provide the same calibrated frequency output except that the pulse rates from
the upper and lower turbines are electronically averaged and the calibration is done using this
average output signal.

5.2 ANALOG ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE

This procedure adjusts both 4-20 mA & 0-10 V output signals. It is limited to meters with serial
numbers 115692 and higher. Contact ONICON for assistance if your meter’s serial number is
below 115692.

5.2.1 Equipment Required

• Multimeter: Capable of measuring voltage and current (mA)
(4½ digit true RMS meter recommended)

• Pulse Generator: 0-15 volt square pulse (0-10 volt minimum)

5.2.2 Procedure

1. Determine the input frequency required to simulate the desired maximum ow rate using the
equation below:

Where:
F = Input Frequency (Hz)
R = Maximum Flow Rate
MF = Meter Factor*
*The meter factor is written on a calibration tag attached to each meter and is also
recorded on the calibration data sheet. Use one of the three formulas provided based
on the engineering units for the meter factor. Please contact ONICON if you cannot
locate the meter factor, or if you wish to use the meter in a different pipe size.

For GPM For l/s For M3/hr

MF in pulses per gallon (ppg) MF in pulses per liter (ppl) MF in pulses per meter3 (ppm3)

F = R x MF

60

F = R x MF F = R x MF

3600

2. Remove the ow meter from the pipe and make sure the electrode and the surrounding area
are dry.

3. Choose the input frequency range (Hz) from the table on the next page and set the appropriate
range selection jumper. Refer to Appendix A for the internal wiring diagram of your model.

4. Connect the pulse generator output lead to the test signal input lead on the analog card, and
connect the pulse generator ground lead to the black ground wire in the ow meter cable. Set
the output to a 15 V P-P square wave at the frequency determined in step #1.

5. Set the DC voltmeter to the 0-10 V scale and connect the (+) lead to the brown wire in the ow
meter cable. Connect the (-) lead from the voltmeter to the black ground wire in the ow meter
cable.

6. Connect the red and black wires in the ow meter cable to the (+) and (-) terminals of the 24 V
power supply respectively. Apply power.

7. Adjust the span potentiometer on the analog card to produce a 10 V reading on the voltmeter.

NOTE: The frequency ranges in the table below are a starting point, and since they vary with
electronic component tolerance, it may be necessary to change the jumper position once rescaling
is started. If the range of adjustment of the span potentiometer is not sufcient to produce the
desired 10 VDC, change the jumper position as follows:

VOLTAGE READING TOO HIGH: Choose the next lower jumper position.

VOLTAGE READING TOO LOW: Choose the next higher jumper position.

8. The ow meter is now rescaled. Disconnect all equipment, replace the cover and reinstall the

ow meter.
