IM3000 Installation Manual
Transportation
During shipping or transporting of the flowmeter, avoid exposing the meter to strong shock or vibrations or impact.
Avoid scratching the rubber liner inside the pipe.
Storage
If possible, store the meter in its unopened packaging until actual installation.
Avoid storing the meter outdoors for an extended period of time. Avoid rain and any direct contact with fluids prior
to installation.
Avoid exposing the signal converter to direct sunlight.
Installation
Performance and Operating Specifications
The IM3000 is constructed from the following materials:
The pipe consists of epoxy coated carbon steel, with a rubber liner and EPDM constructed O-ring.
The electrodes are made of 316 stainless steel and the electronics housing is constructed from die-cast aluminum
with a powder-coated exterior.
The flanges are ANSI 150# which provides a maximum pressure rating of 150 psi.
The IM3000 is rated for operating between 14°F to 131°F (-10°C to 55°C) and should be stored in temperatures
between -40°F to 140°F (-40°C to 60°C).
The IM3000 has the IP68 and NEMA 4x electrical enclosure ratings for environmental protection of the electrical
components.
The IM3000 is available in 4”, 6”, 8”, 10” and 12” pipe sizes. With the following accuracies for their given pressure
ranges. (See the following chart.)
