GENERAL INFORMATION
PE202 INSTRUCTIONS
The PE202 magmeter is designed for low-ow chemical
injection or difcult-to-meter applications with pulsating
metering pumps in 3/4” to 1/4” pipe/tube. The housing is
made of sturdy splashproof HDPE plastic.
With no moving parts, the PE202 can handle uids
containing particulate matter without clogging or jamming,
keeping maintenance at a minimum. With no metallic parts
(100% PVDF body and PVDF carbon ber-lled electrodes),
the meter is corrosion-resistant and compatible with a
wide range of chemicals (consult factory for chemicals and
concentrations). Accuracy is maintained with conductive
uids (>20 microSiemens) of varying viscosities and
The PE meter is compact enough to t most pump/injection
systems. With zero straight pipe required after an elbow,
it can be easily mounted in tight spaces. The mounting
bracket adds stability.
The PE meter has an optoisolated current sinking pulse
output that can be connected to the Seametrics FT430/440
rate/total display or FT520 batch processor, as well as an
optoisolated 4-20 mA current loop for analog devices.
Outputs and power are provided through a cable with
8-pin female circular connector.

INSTALLATION
PE202 INSTRUCTIONS
Positioning
The PE202 can be mounted vertically or horizontally. It is
important to choose a position that will ensure full pipe.
(Under certain conditions of empty or partially-full pipe
the meter may give a pulse out when there is no ow.)
With a zero straight pipe requirement after an elbow, the
PE meter can be installed in tight spaces.

Mounting
It is highly recommended to use the mounting bracket
provided. The mounting bracket uses two #8 screws on a
1.5” center.
Piping
Metal pipe, metal tube, or plastic tubing can be used with
the meter. The standard NPT ttings can be used with or
without NPT adapters on 3/4” or 3/8” pipe. If used, apply
Teon tape onto the NPT ttings. NPT adapters should be
hand tightened onto the ttings. Thoroughly clean the
pipe threads and nose and apply Teon tape to adapter
threads. Hold adapters with a wrench while tightening the
pipe to prevent damage to the meter.
Power Supply
A 12 Vdc linear, regulated power supply with an output
current of at least 0.25A is recommended. If a switching
power supply must be used, consult Seametrics for
approved manufacturer’s model numbers.
Grounding
In addition, it is necessary for proper operation to ground
the unit to a good quality earth ground. Assure negative
power supply is grounded to earth and to the entire
electrical/mechanical system. If metal piping is used,
jumper inlet and outlet pipes together and connect to
ground for best results in metering accuracy. The cable
shield drain wire should be left unconnected.
The PE202 may be supported by its piping connections IF
the piping is rigid. The meter and pipe must be perfectly
aligned with no exion at the ttings to prevent leakage or
damage to the meter.

OPERATION
PE202 INSTRUCTIONSOPERATION AND TROUBLESHOOTING
The meter will output one pulse when powered up. The
newly-installed meter takes from a few seconds to a minute
for the signal to stabilize at startup, especially if it has been
dry. In normal operation, keep the meter lled with uid
and powered on to prevent this delay. When the meter
is mounted properly, an empty pipe detection feature will
normally detect absence of liquid in the pipe and register
The 4-20 mA signal outputs 4 mA at zero ow and 20 mA at
20 gallons/minute ow or 3 gallons per minute, depending
on model.
The pulse signal is a 50% duty cycle pulse set at:
