Positioning
The PE202 can be mounted vertically or horizontally. It is
important to choose a position that will ensure full pipe.
(Under certain conditions of empty or partially-full pipe
the meter may give a pulse out when there is no flow.)
With a zero straight pipe requirement after an elbow, the
PE meter can be installed in tight spaces.
Mounting
It is highly recommended to use the mounting bracket
provided. The mounting bracket uses two #8 screws on a
1.5” center.
The PE202 may be supported by its piping connections
IF
the piping is rigid. The meter and pipe must be perfectly
aligned with no flexion at the fittings to prevent leakage or
damage to the meter.

INSTALLATION
Piping
Metal pipe, metal tube, or plastic tubing can be used with
the meter. The standard NPT fittings can be used with or
without NPT adapters on 3/4” or 3/8” pipe. If used, apply
Teflon tape onto the NPT fittings. NPT adapters should be
hand tightened onto the fittings. Thoroughly clean the
pipe threads and nose and apply Teflon tape to adapter
threads. Hold adapters with a wrench while tightening the
pipe to prevent damage to the meter.
Power Supply
A 12 Vdc linear, regulated power supply with an output
current of at least 0.25A is recommended. If a switching
power supply must be used, consult Seametrics for
approved manufacturer’s model numbers.
Grounding
In addition, it is necessary for proper operation to ground
the unit to a good quality earth ground. Assure negative
power supply is grounded to earth and to the entire
electrical/mechanical system. If metal piping is used,
jumper inlet and outlet pipes together and connect to
ground for best results in metering accuracy. The cable
shield drain wire should be left unconnected.
