Dust and Foreign Matter
Avoid having dust or foreign matter enter the flow meter
by taking the following precautions:
•
Thoroughly flush the fluid supply lines before install-
ing the flow meter.
•
When installing fittings, make sure that no sealing
tape overlaps into the inside of the pipe.
•
Install a 30 mesh fluid filter upstream of the flow
meter.
•
The flow meter was calibrated in oil. Flush the meter
with a compatible solvent prior to use.
Installing the Flow Meter
•
Flow volume can only be measured at the location
where the flow meter is installed.
•
Do not use more than 200 ft. (61 m) of cable.

The shutoff valves allow you to isolate the meter for
service.
