Batteries
The computer electronics are powered by alkaline batteries. Removing the batteries
before storing the meter will extend battery life since the computer is always on (either
standby or active) when the batteries are installed.
If the meter's readout should become dim, blank or the low battery message appears
(see below), the batteries should be replaced.
Note: If the battery life is sufficiently low,
“LOWBAT” will be displayed in the
message area on the bottom row of
characters. This low battery message will
be displayed automatically without running
a diagnostic battery check.
Battery Replacement Information
The computer is shipped with (2) alkaline AAA size batteries (1.5-volts each) installed.
Battery replacements are readily available as an off-the-shelf item. To maintain the
FLOMEC® warranty, the batteries listed below are approved for use.
Alkaline (AAA size, 1.5-volts each)
Energizer, Alkaline, E92 or En92
Duracell, Alkaline, Mn2400
Lithium (AAA size, 1.5-volts each)
Energizer, Lithium, L92
Do not mix brands or technologies. Do not mix old and new batteries. Do not
use rechargeable batteries.
When batteries are disconnected or fail, the computer memory will retain the batch
total, accumulative total, factory calibration curve, and field calibration curve
indefinitely.
It is strongly recommended that battery checks and terminal cleaning be a part of a
routine maintenance schedule. Battery terminals should be cleaned annually.
Batteries can be replaced without removing the meter from the piping system.
Replace Batteries
1. Remove the (4) corner screws attaching the computer electronics to the meter and
lift the computer electronics from the meter.
2. Remove the batteries.
3. Check the battery terminals and remove any corrosion.
4. Install the new batteries and make sure the positive posts are positioned correctly.
When the batteries are installed correctly, the computer powers on automatically
and the display will show information.
5. Make sure the seal is fully seated before placing the computer electronics back on
the turbine. Tighten the (4) screws previously removed.
6. Do not clean exterior of computer assembly with Isopropyl Alcohol.
