Page 4: Introduction
INTRODUCTION Overview The DataTron FTC200 Portable Flow Meter is an easy-to-use 4-channel portable sampling flow and pressure meter. It can record these values over time internally to automate the process of testing flow and pressure. This enables the operator to press a button and use the same portable tester with different size flow tubes. It provides connections for up to four flow tubes, displays pressure and flow readings for any or all four of the tubes simultaneously. -

The case is watertight, airtight, dustproof, chemical resistant and corrosion- proof , and has an automatic purge valve for quick equalization after changes in atmospheric pressure. All controls and indicators are located on the front panel.
- Page 8 FTC200 Rev151207 Flow Tubes Each flow tube will have a mount for a paddlewheel flow sensor and pressure sensor. They must meet all specifications required to ensure proper operation with the flow channels. Refer to the Specifications section for details. Caution: Care should be taken not to drop the flow tubes.

FTC200 Rev151207 FIELD OPERATION Battery Management System Note: The DataTron may be used while it is charging, and the length of time for the battery to fully charge will not be affected. The charge time is the same when it is in stand-by, or not being used. Note: Please be certain to turn the power to the off position before changing power sources. -
Page 10: Making Connections
FTC200 Rev151207 Making Connections Before taking measurements, make sure the 6-pin Deutsch connector is connected to the flow and pressure channel that will be measured. 1. Plug the pressure sensor cable ending in a 6-pin Deutsch connector (part no. XE- FTIPFPM-C20A) into the flow and pressure channel until the tab firmly locks into position in the port on the DataTron for the selected channel (1 through 4). -
Page 11: Recording
FTC200 Rev151207 Recording The DataTron can be programmed to automatically record the desired count of measurements (from 01-99) separated by the time interval for each count in minutes. Manual Mode 1. Manual Sample - press "MANUAL" to record pressure and flow as a snap-shot of the data recorded into the internal memory. -

FTC200 Rev151207 Data Management USB Data Retrieval The MEMORY port is compatible with a USB flash drive compliant with USB 2.0 and formatted to the standard FAT32 file system. The USB flash drive allows for transferring recorded internal data to a computer. This data is saved as a CSV file type, which can be viewed with Microsoft Excel or Open Office type programs. - Page 13 FTC200 Rev151207 Computer Interface: 1. There is a computer connector port on the right side of the DataTron named "TO COMPUTER" This port allows for a direct data transfer to your computer (instead of with the USB flash drive). The USB cable is provided as part no.

Page 19: Flow Calibration (Code P111)
FTC200 Rev151207 Flow Calibration (code P111) It is recommended that the flowmeter/pressure indicator is checked after installation for accuracy and calibrated when necessary Review the Programming Section procedures for using the Program Access Mode. NOTES: 1. Flow calibration must be done according to the designated preset. (Refer to P301 in the OEM Programming Codes Manual.) For example, if P301 is set for PSI, the flow will be calibrated in GPM. - Page 20 FTC200 Rev151207 Multiple Point Calibration 1. First be certain to connect the flow tube into the desired flow and pressure channel. 2. Flow water through the discharge at the flow rate selected for the calibration point. Ensure a constant pressure is maintained to obtain a steady flow rate. 3.

Page 28: Flow Sensor Maintenance
FTC200 Rev151207 FLOW SENSOR MAINTENANCE It is recommended that the flow sensor be cleaned during the yearly calibration check. Depending on the environment that the flow tube is used in, it is possible that mud, grass, algae, or other materials may collect on the paddlewheel of the flow sensor and require it to be cleaned from time to time. Remove the flow sensor and clean the it with a mild soap and clean water. - Page 29 FTC200 Rev151207 NOTES...
