SECTION HEADING 1.0 INTRODUCTION TO THE F-1000 Congratulations on purchasing the F-1000 electronic flow meter. The F-1000 is designed to measure the flow of a fluid in a pipe. The meter is factory calibrated to any engineering units and displays the rate of flow or the total of flow ona6 digit LCD display. Two AAA batteries power the unit for up to one year. There are three models are available: F-1000-RB is a rate meter - designed to measure and display the rate of flow. F-1000-TB is a totalizer meter - designed to measure and display the total flow. F-1000-RT is a rate/totalizer meter...

200° F / 93.3° C -When mounted on polypropylene and PVDF inline units. 140° F/60o C -When mounted on molded PVC tee units or PVC pipe. Ambient Temperature Range 32° tollO0 F/0o to 43° C Enclosure NEMA 4X (acceptable for outdoor use) NOTE: Protect the LCD display from direct sunlight. Accuracy +1-2% of full scale rate reading Repeatability +/-1% of full scale rate reading Power Requirements Two standard AAA alkaline batteries (included) Battery Life Expectancy 1 year minimum *Pressure and temperature limits are inversely proportional. • Weather resistant enclosure. •...

Note: All diagrams are strictly for guideline purposes only. Always consult an expert before installing the F-1000 on specialized systems. Note: The F-1000 should be serviced by qualified persons only. Although the F-1000 is designed to withstand outdoor conditions, a cool, dry location where the unit can be easily serviced is recommended. The life of the LCD display will be severely reduced when installed in direct sunlight. Do not install the meter so that the LCD is in direct sunlight. • The F-1000 can be mounted on horizontal or vertical runs of pipe (see figure 4, 5 and 6). Mounting...

Fully Developed Laminar Disturbed Flow Turbulent Flow (due to swirling) Fig. 3 To determine which type of flow exists in your installation, the following is required: Flow rate of the fluid in GPM -Q Specific gravity of the fluid -G Pipe inside diameter in inches -D Fluid viscocity in centepoise -V Use the following equation to determine the REYNOLDS NUMBER: REYNOLDS NUMBER = 3160 xOxG Dx V Flow conditions with a Reynolds Number greater than 4000 is fully developed turbulent flow. A Reynolds Number less than 2000 is laminar flow. The F-1000 requires a Reynolds number greater...

4.3 HOW TO INSTALL YOUR F-1000 SADDLE FITTING The F-1000 saddle is designed to mount on smooth schedule 40 IPS pipe, schedule 80 IPS pipe (ASTM-D-1785) , PN10 metric pipe or PN16 metric pipe (DIN 8062). The outside of the pipe must be clean, smooth and free of surface imperfections. The outside diameter must be as specified to ensure a leak free installation. The inside diameter must be as specified to ensure meter accuracy. I.P.S. Pipe Sizes tin inches!

4.3.1 DRILL THE MOUNTING HOLE • Select an area on the pipe as outlined in section 4.1. Be sure the surface area of the pipe is clean and smooth. • Drill a 1-1/8" diameter hole through the pipe wall. The F-1000 meter can be installed up to 45 degrees from the top of the pipe. A hole saw kit is available from the factory, order part number 20000-062. • Clean all burrs from inside and outside the hole. Use fine sandpaper (440 grit) if necessary. 4.3.2 INSTALL THE SADDLE • Insert the alignment tool through the top of the saddle. Proper alignment is critical! Slide the large O-ring over the...

4.4 INSTALLING THE MOLDED IN-LINE FITTING (MI) All molded in-line (MI) fittings have male American National Standard Taper Pipe Threads (MPT). • Select an area on the pipe as outlined in section 4.1. • Install the F-1000 as you would any other plastic pipe fitting. Be sure the inlet and outlet fittings are aligned properly. Improper alignment of the fittings will put stress on the adapter connections and may cause leaking or fitting damage. Do not over tighten the fittings. Use PTFE tape sealant only on the adapter threads. • The F-1000 can be mounted on horizontal or vertical runs of pipe....

Note'. The calibrated units of measure such as GPM, LPM, M3H, GALLONS, LITERS, CUBIC METERS, ect., And the decimal point location are pre-programmed at the factory to standard flow ranges (see chart). Any unit of measure can be factory programmed. Please contact the factory for details. • The meter is shipped from the factory with 2 AAA batteries installed. • When measuring continuous flow (i.e. 24 hours per day, 7 days per week), do not operate the meter in the upper 25% of the calibrated flow range. The paddle speed in these high flow ranges is fast. Damage to the paddle may occur if...

7.0 HOW TO MAINTAIN THE F-1000 The F-1000 requires very little maintenance, however, some conditions will cause increased wear on the paddle and/or possible damage to the unit. Damage caused by corrosive or abrasive fluids is not covered under warranty. • Periodically remove the sensor assembly from the pipe fitting and inspect the meter for signs of wear and obstructions. Clean the paddle of any foreign objects. Paddle and axle wear can be caused by chemical attack and/or abrasive fluids. Replace the paddle and axle if worn. Various axle materials are available for corrosive fluids. •...
