  • Page 3: General Description

    Solid state sensors are used to detect the position of a driven magnet inside the Max flow meter. Changes in position are tracked by a microprocessor, which generates an output frequency proportional to the flow rate. Advanced signal processing provides both fine angular resolution (0.36 degrees rotation per pulse) and rapid response (output updated every 1 ms).

    Installation - Flow Meter Prior to installing the flow meter remove the storage caps from the ports and look carefully into each port of the meter. Ensure that no dirt or foreign particles have gotten into the ports of the meter. Make sure that adequate filtration exists upstream of the flow meter and that no contaminants exist in the line between the filter and flow meter.

    Installation -Transmitter Mechanical Transmitters are installed on the meter at the factory. If a transmitter needs to be replaced in the field, use the following procedure: 1. Disconnect wiring and remove the two socket cap screws to remove old transmitter. 2.

  • Page 7 Repairs The Max G-Series Meters are not designed for user repair and all such work should be done at the factory or under the direct supervision of the Max Technical Service Department. Unauthorized repair work may damage the meter and will void the product warranty. Please make note of model and serial numbers on the flow meter before calling the factory.

  • Page 10 Flow Measurement Stability: The Max G Series meter family utilizes a sensitive measurement circuit that tracks the meter rotation to within a fraction of a degree of rotation. This gives extremely responsive measurement of flow changes combined with excellent measurement of very low flows. This same high resolution can lead to an increased sensitivity to signal noise.
