WARNING
Always conduct measurements under the hazardous materials ofcers’ supervision.
• This equipment measures highly hazardous materials such as gasoline and light oil. Always conduct
measurements under the hazardous materials ofcers’ supervision.
Be careful of sources of re.
• As this equipment measures highly hazardous materials such as gasoline and light oil, be careful of sources of
re. Always conduct measurements under the hazardous materials ofcers’ supervision.
Make sure that detector is not contained in a closed space.
• If the detector is lled with liquid and is in a sealed condition with the outlet/inlet valve closed, the internal
pressure might rise due to a rise in temperature, causing a re from the leaked liquid.
• Make sure the liquid does not create a sealed condition by taking measures such as making an air layer inside
the piping.
Never let the liquid inside the detector evaporate.
• The evaporated liquid is highly inammable and may cause an explosion or re. Never let the liquid inside the
detector evaporate.
• The FP-4135 is designed to use the liquid to be measured as a lubricant for each operating part and if this
liquid evaporates (gasies), there will be not enough lubrication resulting in incorrect measurements.
Use this equipment within the operating temperature range designated in the specications.
• The environment/liquid operating temperature range for the ow detector part of the FP-4135 is -30 to +100°C
(non-freezing) and -30 to +70°C for the signal processing unit.
• Avoid measurement in abnormally high temperature as it might cause a re or explosion.
Do not pour any other liquid other than those given in the specications.
• The FP-4135 can measure the following liquids only. If you pour any other liquid other than those specied, it
might cause corrosion or damage to the detector’s internal parts and may cause injury to personnel.
For details, contact the nearest Ono Sokki sales ofce or the distributor where you purchased the product.
Gasoline, light oil, kerosene, petroleum-based general hydraulic oil, class-A heavy oil, engine oil, methanol,
ethanol, mixture of alcohol and gasoline and brake oil.
• This equipment might not be usable when in a depositing condition.
Avoid applying any vibration or impact.
• FP-4135 is a high precision equipment. Do not use or store it where any vibrations exist.
• Do not drop or handle it in a way which causes a strong impact on the equipment. Otherwise, it will cause
failure or malfunction of the equipment which may lead to injury.
Warning regarding installation
WARNING
Warning about line lter
• Do not use any other line lters than the one built into the detector. It might cause liquid leak which may cause
re or explosion.
• The built-in lter in the detector is designed to remove large debris in the piping connection, so use other line
lters upstream of the liquid inlet of the detector.

The engine right after it is stopped is at a very high temperature. Before installing or removing the
detector, make sure that the engine is cooled o.
• Otherwise, it might cause burns.
Warning about piping
WARNING
Make sure the power is disconnected (OFF) before starting piping.
• Make sure the power of the Ono Sokki DF-2200 On-Board Flow Meter or the FM Series Digital Flowmeter are
turned OFF.
• To switch the power on/off, use the power switch on the Ono Sokki DF-2200 On-Board Flow Meter or the FM
Series Digital Flowmeter after connecting the FP-4135 to the Ono Sokki DF-2200 On-Board Flow Meter or the
FM Series Digital Flowmeter with the ow signal cable.
Flush the detector before piping.
• The FP-4135 is delivered lled with oil to make sure internal parts are fully lubricated. Start measurement after
ushing thoroughly by pouring measurement liquid to within the specied ow rate of the detector.
Do not use air for ushing.
• If ushed with plant air or other air, it might cause over speeding of the detector leading to a failure. Do not
ush with any other liquid other than the ones specied.
When ushing, do not exceed the ow rate beyond the measurement range.
• Including during measurement, if you pour more liquid than the measurement range, it might cause a failure.
• Special care should be taken when excess air exists in the piping such as when you pour liquid into the piping
for the rst time as an excess ow rate can occur. Increase the ow rate gradually from zero.
Be careful not to cut yourself on the screws or couplings in the detector’s inlet/outlet.
• Wear a pair of gloves to prevent cutting your ngers or hands when you mount the couplings to change the
joints.
When measurement liquid leaks from the piping, it might cause a re or explosion.
• Remember to check the couplings or pipings for any leaks or looseness before pouring liquid.
Precautions on installation
WARNING
Handle the equipment as a precision equipment.
• FP-4135 is a high precision equipment. Install it in a place within the operating temperature range (-30 to
+100°C) with no large temperature uctuations or vibrations.
Install it at a lower position than the liquid tank.
• To gain supply pressure to the detector by height difference, install the detector at a lower position than the
liquid tank to prevent the formation of air pockets and negative pressure.

FP-4135 On-Board Volumetric Flow Detector
Precautions on piping
CAUTION
Do not confuse the IN and OUT parts of the detector.
• The detector has an inlet (IN) and an outlet (OUT) for the liquid. Recheck the inlet and the outlet when piping.
Recommendations on bypass valve installation
• Installing a bypass valve in piping is recommended to maintain the measured system such as an engine,
release air pockets out of the piping, or to repair detector malfunctions.
Pay attention to how to wind the seal material.
Follow the instructions below to wind a Teon seal tape on the screws to change the couplings.
• The seal tape should be wound around 2 to 2.5 times on a screw with the last 1 to 2 threads of a screw not
tightened.
• When using a liquid seal material, be careful not to leak the liquid material into the piping.
Leave space for about 2 threads.

direction
Seal tape
Do not bend piping into the shape of an arch.
• If pipings are bent into an arc shape, air pockets can be form in the top part and become hard to remove.
• If the piping has any air pockets, measurement will be incorrect. Take care.
Air pocket
Piping Piping
Fix the piping in front and to the rear of the detector.
• Use the appropriate xtures on the piping in front and to the rear of the detector to prevent leakage and
damage to the connection part of the detector by vibrations.

Overview (Structure and Operating Principle)
FP-4135 On-Board Volumetric Flow Detector
1. Overview (Structure and Operating Principle)
In this section, the product overview, the ow rate and the operating principle of rotation conversion part of the FP-4135
On-Board Volumetric Flow Detector is detailed.
1.1 Product overview
The FP-4135 On-Board Volumetric Flow Detector is the high-precision positive displacement ow detector to measure
the fuel ow rate of liquids such as gasoline, light oil and kerosene combined with the Ono Sokki DF-2200 On-Board
Flow Meter or the FM Series Digital Flowmeter.
Because the flow rate range is as wide as 0.1 to 200 L/h (measurement range ratio 2000:1), it can measure, for
example the fuel efciency of an engine from very low ow rate in an idling state to a high-load state when a fuel with a
low heating value such as alcohol is used.
Also, because the flow detecting part is compact and its operating temperature range is -30 to +100°C, it can be
installed inside an engine to measure the actual driving fuel efciency.
1.2 Structure and operating principle
4 pistons are installed in a radial fashion on the ow rate detecting part of the equipment where they repeat a back
and forth motion with the liquid owing in and out of the inlet/outlet. The movement of pistons is converted to a rotating
motion by the crank shaft and transfered to the rotation detecting part.
Then, a pulse signal corresponding to movement amount of the pistons is generated by the rotary encoder of the
rotation detecting part and the instantaneous value or accumulated ow rate are displayed on the calculated display
section of the Ono Sokki DF-2200 On-Board Flow Meter or the FM Series Digital Flowmeter.
The output pulse signal consists a pair of pulses with different phases so that the rotation direction can be recognized.
Because of that, correct measurement is possible regardless of whether the ows are reversed or pulsed.
