3 FLOWMASTER OPERATION

The pressure gauge does not need a power source to 
operate. Pressure measurements can be made with the 
flow meter in the OFF position.
The  Flowmaster  is  ready  to  measure  flow  as  soon 
as battery power is applied. Turn on the Flowmaster 
by pressing ON/OFF switch to “1” position. The 
Flowmaster can also be powered using an external 12V 
DC power source.
Following power_on, the flow meter begins a self test 
sequence  lasting  approximately  5  seconds  and  then 
automatically  enters  flow  measurement  mode.  The 
typical flow meter display in flow measurement mode 
is as shown below.

Fig. 3.3 Flow  meter  display  when  ready  for  flow 

measurement and there is no water in the pipe.  Note 

the flashing symbols on the left side of the flowmeter 

gauge

Fig. 3.2 Flow  meter  display  when  ready  for  flow 

measurement, water is filling the pipe and is flowing

Fig. 3.1 Flow  meter  display  when  ready  for  flow 

measurement,  water  is  filling  the  pipe  but  is  not 

flowing

The Flowmaster is now ready to make both flow and 
pressure measurements.

3.1 POWER ON SEQUENCE

The Flow meter backlight LEDs will turn on.  After 
a few moments, the self-test mode will commence 
and the display sequence will be as shown below.

The final display in the sequence indicates that the 
self-test is complete and the Flow meter is in flow 
measurement mode.
