3. When handling hazardous liquids, always
follow the liquid manufacturer's safety
precautions.
4. When working in hazardous environments,
always exercise appropriate safety precau-
tions.
5. Always dispose of used cleaning solvents
in a safe manner according to the solvent
manufacturer's instructions.
6. During turbine removal, liquid may spill.
Follow the liquid manufacturer's safety
precautions for clean up of minor spills.
7. Do not blow compressed air through the
turbine.
8. Do not allow liquids to dry inside the
turbine.
9. Handle the rotor carefully. Even small
scratches or nicks can affect accuracy.
10. When tightening the turbine, use a wrench
only on the wrench flats.
11. For best results, always verify accuracy
before use.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
FTB380 Series Turbines are identified by the
internal diameter of the inlet and outlet.
A109GMA100NA1 – 1/2 inch (Low Flow)
A109GMA100NA1 – 1 inch (Mid Flow)
A109GMA200NA2 – 2 inch (High Flow)
Each of these turbines are designed to work
with on-board display electronics and/or with
one of several accessory modules that can
interface to a wide variety of reporting and
collecting devices.
The CMOS microprocessor-based electronics
have extremely low power requirements and
data retention capabilities in both RAM and
ROM. Information is clearly displayed on
a large 6-digit LCD readout with two-point
floating decimal for totals from .01 to 999,999.
All operations are easily accessed with the two
buttons on the front panel.

Liquids flow through the turbine housing
causing an internal rotor to spin. As the rotor
spins, an electrical signal is generated in the
pickup coil. The electrical signal provides
the output necessary to operate the on-board
display electronics for local indication directly
on the turbine or one of several accessory
modules that transmit the signal to external
equipment.
Upon receipt, examine your meter for visible
damage. The turbine is a precision measuring
instrument and should be handled as such.
Remove the protective plugs and caps for
a thorough inspection. If any items are dam-
aged or missing, contact OMEGA Customer
Service.
Make sure the turbine model meets your spe-
cific needs. Refer to the Specifications Section
and confirm the following:
1. The flowrate is within the limits of your
model.
2. The liquid is compatible with the turbine's
wetted components.
3. The system's pressure does not exceed
the turbine's maximum pressure rating.
Information specific to your particular turbine,
including serial number and manufacturing
date is printed on the bottom of the turbine.
SN = Serial Number, a 7-8 digit number that
identifies this particular turbine.
MFD = Manufacturing Date indicating the
week and year of manufacture.
For your future reference, it might be useful to
record this information in the manual in case
it becomes unreadable on the turbine.
INSTALLATION
All Series FTB380 turbines are designed to
measure flow in only one direction. The direc-
tion is indicated by the arrow cast-molded in
the turbine outlet. If the opposite direction is
desired, and you are using on-board display
electronics, rotate the display electronics 180
degrees prior to installation.
