    Installation Caution: Do not exceed the pressure, temperature or power operating ranges detailed in the SPECIFICATIONS section of this manual. Omega Engineering shall not be liable for any damage or injury caused by incorrect operation of their products. pg. 5 of 29...
  • Page 6: General Considerations

    The Omega Engineering FLR 1000 Series units have no particular installation requirements so may be mounted in any convenient position. For optimum results the unit should be mounted with the mounting feet horizontal on top of a flat horizontal surface.
  • Page 7: Tubing Connections

    Tubing Connections CAUTION: DO NOT FLOW ANY LIQUID THROUGH A GAS FLOW SENSOR OR FLOW METER. THIS WILL SERIOUSLY EFFECT THE PERFORMANCE AND VOID THE WARRANTY. CAUTION: DO NOT FLOW A HIGH PRESSURE GAS THROUGH THE SENSOR. A BURST OF HIGH PRESSURE GAS MAY CAUSE THE UNIT TO BE DAMAGED.
  • Page 8: Electrical Connections

    Read the following instructions carefully before making any connections. Overview Omega Engineering flow sensors for gases provide a 0-5VDC output proportional to the volumetric flow rate. This output may be connected to a display, data acquisition system or voltmeter. The FLR 1000-D and 1000- BR-D series feature an integral display that provides a local flow reading.
  • Page 9: B) Connecting A Cable Assembly

    Units are supplied with an integral 4 pin connector. Connections to the unit are made using a mating cable assembly or power adapter package as detailed in the following sections. A connector pin and wire color cross reference may also be found in Appendix F (Page 18) of this manual. Connecting a Cable Assembly The connector on the end of the cable assembly should be pushed into the mating socket on the sensor taking care to ensure that it is the correct...
  • Page 10: C) Electrical Connections - Voltage Output Units

    Electrical Connections – Voltage Output Units The cable assembly should be connected to the sensor as detailed in section 5(b) above. Do not apply power to the sensor until all the connections have been made and checked. Electrical connections should be made as follows: Wiring Schematic For Voltage Output Units.
  • Page 11: D) Using A 0-5Vdc Output Power Adapter Package

    Using a 0-5VDC Output Power Adapter Package. An optional 0-5VDC Output Power Adapter Package is available for use with the FLR 1000 series (not the FLR 1000-ST-I). This consists of a power source (115VAC or 230VAC) and cable assembly with pig-tail (soldered wire) ends for the signal output.
  • Page 12: Operation

    Operation CAUTION: DO NOT FLOW ANY LIQUID THROUGH A GAS FLOW SENSOR OR FLOW METER. THIS WILL SERIOUSLY EFFECT THE PERFORMANCE AND VOID THE WARRANTY. Start Up Before applying power to the unit check all tubing and electrical connections. Once correct installation is verified switch on the power. Flow Readings The FLR 1000 Series for gases provide a 0-5VDC output proportional to the volumetric flow rate.
  • Page 13: Operating At Flow Rates Outside The Calibrated Flow Range

    0-5VDC analog output provided by using a cable assembly or power adapter package (see above). (Model FLR1000-ST-D shown, other models with displays similar) Operating at Flow Rates Outside the Calibrated Flow Range CAUTION:. If the flow through the unit exceeds 120% of the maximum rated (full scale) flow the unit may be damaged.
  • Page 14: Zero Adjustments

    It is impossible for there to be any zero drift so zero adjustments are never required. Recalibration Please contact the Omega Engineering Service Department if your flow sensor or flow meter needs recalibration. Using Flow Sensors or Flow Meters with Different Gases...
  • Page 15 CAUTION:. The use of correction factors can be subject to inaccuracy and errors of up to ±10%. Please contact the Omega Engineering Service Department if accurate, certified recalibration is required. Calculating a correction factor for a gas enables the calibration of the unit to be adjusted for that gas.
  • Page 16: Maintenance And Product Care

    The next recommended recalibration date is stated on the calibration certificate supplied with the unit. Please contact the Omega Engineering Service Department for further information. Inlet filters should be periodically checked and cleaned / replaced as necessary.
