Introduction
Thank you for purchasing an FM-1000 Series electronic flow meter. The FM-1000 Series is designed to measure the flow of a fluid being dis-
pensed from Finish Thompson’s PFP, PFM, PFV, SFM, SFP, SFV, and SFVV drum pumps. The meter is factory calibrated and displays information
on an LCD display. Two AAA batteries power the unit for up to one year. There are two models available with options for materials of construc-
tion and measurement units.
FM-1000-T
is a totalizer meter – designed to measure and display the total flow.
FM-1000 RT
is a rate/totalizer meter – designed to measure and display both the rate of flow and the total flow.
