MAY RESULT FROM ACCIDENTS WITH THESE SYSTEMS. This guide is the basic reference tool for all ONICON Insertion Turbine Flow Meters. If you have not purchased all of the options, there will be references in this manual which are not applicable to you meter(s).
Optional: Analog and Digital outputs also available, based on model • F-1200 Series This series has all of the features of the F-1100 series plus: Dual Turbines and frequency output averaging circuitry to provide improved Accuracy in short pipe runs.
(Solid state dry contact) Provides an isolated binary/digital output scaled to provide one pulse per desired unit volume (i.e.: 1 pulse = 10 gal.). Ideal for totalization applications. Owner’s Manual for ONICON Insertion Turbine Flow Meters • September 27, 2001...
WARRANTY AND SERIAL NUMBER • Warranty ONICON’s complete warranty is included in Appendix C of this manual as a part of the “Conditions of Sale.” Meters purchased after November 1, 2000 include a two-year “No fault” warranty which may cover accidental damage caused during installation or start up.
Enclosed with each Insertion Flow Meter is a comprehensive documentation package which includes the following items: ! OWNER’S MANUAL ! FLOW METER CALIBRATION DATA SHEETS Please notify the ONICON customer service department if any of these documents are missing. • The Flow Meter The flow meter is a rugged instrument and should arrive without any damage;...
If yours is a single turbine meter and there is no suitable location, contact ONICON’s Sales Office to discuss upgrading to a dual turbine meter. This meter is more tolerant of the conditions that cause swirl, turbulence and flow profile distortions.

Try to limit the overall height from the pipe’s outside diameter to the top of the valve to 5½ - 6”. ONICON calculates the stem length of the flow meter based on pipe size and this nominal height. If your installation requires a taller fitting assembly and the dimension was not specified on the order form, please contact the factory before installation.
P = system pressure in pounds per square inch Example: In a 300 PSI system, 33 pounds of effort is required to insert the meter into the pipe. Owner’s Manual for ONICON Insertion Turbine Flow Meters • September 27, 2001...
Prior to removal of the meter, make sure that you are standing on a secure platform and have both hands available to manipulate the flow meter. Owner’s Manual for ONICON Insertion Turbine Flow Meters • September 27, 2001...
WIRING CONNECTIONS Make connections to the 10’ cable, which is supplied by ONICON and is pre-wired to the circuit board. Do not attempt to make any connections inside the electronics case, or to remove factory installed connection fittings. Damage resulting from these actions may not be covered under warranty.
Please read these helpful hints before proceeding with the start-up and commissioning procedure on the next page. 1. ONICON Flow Meters are individually calibrated for a particular application. Be sure to verify the pipe size and location. 2. The electronic sensing systems will not work in air. Blowing on the turbine(s) will not produce a signal.
Refer to troubleshooting guide when readings are inconsistent. End of standard start-up and commissioning. Please contact ONICON’s technical service department at (727) 447-6140 with any questions. Owner’s Manual for ONICON Insertion Turbine Flow Meters • September 27, 2001...
