G-Series User Manual Rev2020A 2
Your Max Flow Meter has been configured at the factory to be used out of the box based on your submitted application
data. Plumb it, wire it, and use it. The following section will provide instructions on how to properly plumb your Max Flow
Meter in the liquid lines of your application.
Use the “IN” port or follow the flow direction arrow markings for the primary flow direction. Install the meter on the
discharge side of the pump whenever possible. Excessive vibration at the meter should be avoided.
Orientation : Preferred mounting orientation of the meter depends on meter type. The orientation optimizes air purging
and/or minimizes heat transfer to the electronics. G-Series meters, especially when used with thick fluids, should mount
with the transmitter on the side and the plumbing oriented vertical flow up. This mounting orientation prevents air in the
system that can cause response delays and errors in measurement.
NPT fittings: Always use pipe sealant or pipe tape to install fittings, and leave the first thread of pipe exposed. Ensure
the tape or sealant does not accidentally enter the meter.
SAE fittings: Always use process fluid compatible lubricant on the o-ring to attach the fitting to the meter.
