SECTION 3.0: INSTALLATION
The F-4600 Flow Meter should be installed by experienced plumbers, electricians, and others with
related knowledge and experience in the heating, cooling, and uid metering elds. ONICON technical
support personnel are available via telephone or e-mail to provide technical assistance before, during
and after installation. On-site eld engineering, installation, and service are also available at an
additional cost. The installer should use good trade practices and must adhere to all state and local
building, or other, applicable codes.
Before you begin, clean the external surfaces of all pipes at the installation site so that it is free of
debris, foreign matter, solids, leak inhibitors, and chemically aggressive substances. Flush the entire
system so that it is free of ux, solder, pipe and tube cuttings and any other free moving debris.
3.1 SITE SELECTION
Careful attention to the site selection for the meter will help the installers with the initial
installation, reduce start-up problems, and make future maintenance easier. For example, do not
install the meter where it will be difcult for personnel to perform periodic maintenance. When
selecting a site, consider the criteria under Section 1.4: WORKING ENVIRONMENT, as well as
the information below.
The following limitations apply to the installation of the meter:
• The ow meter must be correctly oriented with respect to the direction of ow in the pipe.
Meters installed with reversed ow will not function.
• The F-4600 is provided with a 4.9 ft (1.5 m) cable for the detachable enclosure. Do not alter
this cable length. Doing so will void the calibration and may invalidate the warranty.
• The maximum operating pressure for the ow meter is 400 psi.
• At uid temperatures above 212°F, the enclosure should be remote mounted.
• Do not install the meter in close proximity to strong sources of electromagnetic interference
(e.g. electric motors, VFD’s, uorescent light xtures, etc.)
3.2 INSTALLING THE FLOW SENSOR
Before you install the meter, the entire piping system should be ushed and free of debris. Please
refer to the diagrams on the following page when selecting the installation location. Upstream
straight unobstructed pipe requirements vary considerably based on nature of the upstream
obstructions. As a general rule, ONICON recommends a minimum of 10 diameters of straight
unobstructed pipe whenever possible; keeping in mind that it is always recommended that the
meter be located with as much straight pipe upstream as possible. Recommended minimum
straight run requirements are provided on the following page.

C. This is an acceptable installation location for closed loop pressurized systems.
D. Do not install the sensor downstream of modulating valves or partially open valves.
Fully open isolation valves (e.g. ball valves) are OK.
E. Do not install the ow sensor at the inlet of a pump. To prevent cavitation, the
minimum operating pressure at the inlet of the meter must always exceed the pressure
drop across the meter. Refer to Appendix A-3 for calculating pressure the drop at
different ow rates.
F. Avoid installing the meter downstream of multiple bends out of plane with each other
where there are less than 10 diameters of straight unobstructed pipe between bends.

INSTALLING METER COUPLINGS
• Inspect seating surfaces on the meter’s body and tail piece prior to assembly. Surfaces should be
clean and free of any burs or markings.
• Install the gasket in tail piece. Thread union onto meter’s body, by hand, until gasket and mating
surfaces make rst contact. Mark coupling nut and tail piece.
• Place a corresponding mark on the coupling nut, # of degrees (based on table above) counter
clockwise. Hold meter body while rotating coupling nut clockwise until marks line up. DO NOT
over-tighten.
• Repeat process on opposite side of ow meter body.
NOTE: Torque setting is not an accurate means of gaging compression on gasket due to the lack of
resilience in the gasket material.
• Pressurize system and check for leaks. If any leak is present, DO NOT over-tighten. Relieve pressure
and loosen coupling nuts. Remove and inspect the gasket for damage. Repeat installation process.

To determine how the auxiliary inputs and outputs are congured on your F-4600,
reference the model number string of your meter:
Meter Model Number Coding = F-4600-AAA-BCD-EF
F = Analog & Pulse Input / Output Conguration (Not eld congurable)6 = 1 analog output, 1 pulse input & 1 pulse output
9 = 1 analog output & 1 pulse output
F = 0F = 1F = 2

5.0: DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTIONS
The ONICON F-4600 has self diagnostic functions that continually monitor key operating
parameters. A list of the alarm messages is shown below.
Displayed MessageDescription
System FaultSystem Fault is displayed with an error code. This message
indicates a hardware malfunction. The meter will not calculate
energy in this state.
Reverse FlowFlow is reversed through the meter. The meter will not calculate
energy in this state.
Signal FaultThis is a warning message that the ow signal is weak. It may
indicate entrained air in the ow stream.
Empty PipeThe pipe is empty
Low FlowThe ow reading is below the minimum ow threshold of the
meter (e.g. 0.03 gpm for ½” meter). The meter will not calculate
energy in this state.
High FlowThis is a warning message that the ow reading is above the
maximum ow rate of the meter (e.g. 15 gpm for ½” meter).

7.2 DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION CODE
The MODBUS implementation of the F-4600 supports the use of function code 08, Diagnostic.
When using function code 08, you must also specify the “sub-function” code when sending the message to
the F-4600.
The following sub-functions are supported by the F-4600:

Description of Sub-functions:
00 Return Query Data
The data passed to the F-4600 in the request data eld is to be returned (looped back) in the response.
The entire response message should be identical to the request.
01 Restart Communications Option
The F-4600 serial line port will be initialized and restarted, and all of its communications event
counters are cleared. If the port is currently in Listen Only Mode, no response is returned. This
function is the only one that brings the port out of Listen Only Mode. If the port is not currently in
Listen Only Mode, a normal response is returned. This occurs before the restart is executed.
04 Force Listen Only Mode
Forces the F-4600 to its Listen Only Mode for MODBUS communications. This isolates it from the
other devices on the network, allowing them to continue communicating without interruption from
the addressed F-4600. No response is returned. When the remote device enters its Listen Only Mode,
all active communication controls are turned off. The Ready watchdog timer is allowed to expire,
locking the controls off. While the device is in this mode, any MODBUS messages addressed to it or
broadcast are monitored, but no actions will be taken and no responses will be sent.
The only function that will be processed after the mode is entered will be the Restart Communications
Option function (function code 8, sub-function 1).

11 (0B Hex) Return Bus Message Count
The response data eld from the F-4600 returns the quantity of messages that it has detected on the
communications system since its last restart, restart communications option, or power-up.
This count is also available in the F-4600’s diagnostic menu page.
12 (0C Hex) Return Bus Communication Error Count
The response data eld returns the quantity of CRC errors encountered by the F-4600 since its last
restart, restart communications option, or power-up.
This count is also available in the F-4600’s diagnostic menu page.
13 (0D Hex) Return Bus Exception Error Count
The response data eld returns the quantity of MODBUS exception responses returned by the F-4600
since its last restart, restart communications option, or power-up.
This count is also available in the F-4600’s diagnostic menu page.
14 (0E Hex) Return Server Message Count
The response data eld returns the quantity of messages addressed to the F-4600, or broadcast, that the
F-4600 has processed since its last restart, restart communications option, or power-up.
This count is also available in the F-4600’s diagnostic menu page.
15 (0F Hex) Return Server No Response Count
The response data eld returns the quantity of messages addressed to the F-4600 for which it has
returned no response (neither a normal response nor an exception response), since its last restart,
restart communications option, or power-up.
This count is also available in the F-4600’s diagnostic menu page.
17 (11 Hex) Return Server Busy Count
The response data eld returns the quantity of messages addressed to the F-4600 for which it returned
a Server Device Busy exception response, since its last restart, restart communications option, or
power-up.
This count is also available in the F-4600’s diagnostic menu page.
18 (12 Hex) Return Bus Character Overrun Count
The response data eld returns the quantity of messages addressed to the F-4600 that it could not
handle due to a character overrun condition, since its last restart, restart communications option, or
power-up. A character overrun is caused by data characters arriving at the port faster than they can be
stored, or by the loss of a character due to a hardware malfunction.
This count is also available in the F-4600’s diagnostic menu page.
7.3 REPORT SLAVE ID FUNCTION CODE
The MODBUS implementation of the F-4600 supports the use of function code 17, Report Slave ID.
When a message is sent to the F-4600 requesting to report the slave ID, the following information is
returned:
F-4600-XXXXXX; where XXXXXX - serial number of the F-4600
The F-4600 will report data in decimal or HEX, depending on the control system settings. The data must be
converted from decimal/HEX to ASCII in order to form the string.

SECTION 8.0: AUXILIARY INPUTS AND OUTPUTS
8.1 DETERMINING AUXILIARY INPUT AND OUTPUT CONFIGURATION
The ONICON F-4600 can be congured from the factory to provide a variety of auxiliary input
and output congurations. Once congured at the factory, the function of the auxiliary terminal
cannot be changed. However, how the input is described on the LCD display, or how the output is
programmed, can be changed in the eld during the commissioning process.
To determine how the auxiliary inputs and outputs are congured on your F-4600, reference the
model number string of your meter:
Meter Model Number Coding = F-4600-AAA-BCD-EF
F = Analog & Pulse Input / Output Conguration
(Not eld congurable)
6 = 1 analog output, 1 pulse input & 1 pulse output
9 = 1 analog output & 1 pulse output
8.2 AUXILIARY INPUTS
When congured with auxiliary pulse inputs, your F-4600 will be equipped with the ability to
bring in local dry contact and open collector pulses to be displayed on the F-4600 LCD screen as
well as the (RS485) output.
Input Rating:
For use with open collector sinking and dry contact pulse outputs only.
Pulse Duration – 50 ms minimum
Sinking Current – 10 mA maximum
The default LCD page description for each auxiliary input is “Counts.” This is because each pulse
is a count of an accumulated value from the remote device. The F-4600 allows for the user to
change this description through the commissioning process.
It is important to understand that the local aux input description on the F-4600 only appears
on the LCD display. The value transmitted over the (RS485) network will be a unitless count
regardless of the description programmed into the F-4600. The MODBUS memory map, which
describes the register locations for the aux input count and the coils to reset them to zero, are
located in section 7.1.

8.3 AUXILIARY OUTPUTS
When congured with auxiliary pulse outputs, your F-4600 will be equipped with the ability to
send contact closure pulses for use with a remote totalizer or building automation system.
Output Rating:
Contact closure output.
Pulse Duration – Selectable 50 ms, 100 ms, 500 ms (default), or 1,000 ms
Contact rating – 50 mA, 30 VDC maximum
If the F-4600 is congured with pulse outputs, the displayed total menu pages that correspond
to each pulse output will indicate the pulse output number and the scaling for the pulse output.
The engineering unit associated with the displayed total will also apply to the pulse output. Both
the function of the pulse output, as well as the scaling, can be changed during the commission
process.
8.3.1 Pulse Outputs
The following pulse outputs are available from the F-4600:
Total Volume - Units match LCD totalizer. Output can be scaled for 1, 10, or 100.
Example: if congured for 10, the meter will require 10 LCD display accumulations
before a pulse output is provided.
Alarm - Latching output. The output will remain open when the meter is not in alarm,
and will latch closed when the meter is in alarm. A list of alarms can be found in section
5.0, Diagnostic Functions.
MODBUS Coil - Latching output. The output will remain open when the MODBUS coil
associated with the auxiliary terminal is inactive, and the output will latch shut when
the coil is activated. The MODBUS memory map which describes the registers associated
with the coils, and how to use them, is described in Section 7.1, MODBUS Memory Map.

8.4 ANALOG OUTPUT
When congured with an auxiliary analog output, your F-4600 with optional LCD display will be
equipped with the ability to send a single analog signal to a remote device or building automation
system. The analog output can be programmed in the commissioning menu for 4-20 mA, 0-5 V, or
0-10 V output types. The factory default is 4-20 mA.
The following meter values are available to be mapped to the analog output:
Volume Rate
Fluid Temperature
The analog output minimum and maximum are also congured in the commissioning menu. The
minimum value set in programming will be what the 4 mA or 0 V is equivalent to. The maximum
value set in programming will be what the 20 mA/5 V/10 V is equivalent to.
Example: A 4-20 mA analog output congured as uid temperature with a minimum of 30
and maximum of 80 will have an output signal of
4-20 mA = 30 - 80° F.
The units of measurement for the analog output will match the LCD description on the F-4600.
When cycling through the F-4600 run pages, if the F-4600 is equipped with an analog output, the
page which corresponds to the analog output will have the output signal type and scaling shown
on it.
