Page 6: General Description
DF4000 Rev0204 GENERAL DESCRIPTION Components The INSIGHT flowmeter consists of the following components: Display Module Paddlewheel Flow Sensor and Sensor Housing Asembly Cables Display Module The display module is waterproof and has dimensions of 3.25 inches high by 3.26 inches wide by 2.4 inches deep. It is available with optional NFPA color coded bezels. (The bezels are an intricate part of the display module and must be factory installed.) All controls and indicators are located on the front of the display module. -
Page 7: Controls And Indicators
DF4000 Rev0204 Controls and Indicators All controls and indicators are located on the front of the display module. It contains a digital display, two buttons, and an LED display. (Refer to Figure 1.) Digital Display During normal operation this 4-digit LED display will indicate flow rate. When the display module identification or program access modes are selected the digital display shows module specific information, program codes, settings, and error codes. -
Page 8: Installation
DF4000 Rev0204 INSTALLATION The DF4000 display module and flow sensor are compatible for use with any size piping. Note: Plumbing systems are always unique and may cause small deviations in the factory calibration. It is recommended that the calibration procedure be performed after installation. -

Page 10: Install Flow Sensor
DF4000 Rev0204 Install Flow Sensor There are several ways to install FRC paddlewheel type flow sensors. Mounting options include saddle clamps, weldments, pipe tees, and special adapters. Each mount will meet particular plumbing requirements. Flow sensors are interchangeable. It is recommended that the calibration be checked if flow sensors are swapped. -
Page 11: Figure 3. Flow Sensor Location Guidelines
DF4000 Rev0204 The preferred location for the mounting of a flow sensor is on the top half of the pipe. The best orientation is vertical. If the sensor is mounted on the bottom of the pipe, it may be susceptible to the accumulation of dirt. - Page 12 DF4000 Rev0204 Saddle Clamp Installation Note: Ensure that the mounting location meets the requirements for uniform water flow. (Refer to Flow Sensor Location.) Note: Ensure that there is enough room for the saddle clamp, sensor, and connector to fit. (Refer to Figure 4.) 1.

DF4000 Rev0204 Program Features See Programming section for more detailed information. High and Low Flow Warning (Codes 315 and 316) When the flow rate is above the programmed high flow value a flashing -HI- will show in the digital display. When the flow rate is below the programmed low flow value a flashing -LO- will show in the digital display. -
Page 19: Programming
DF4000 Rev0204 PROGRAMMING The two operator selectable modes are display module identification and program access. These modes are selected and inputs are made by using the two buttons on the front of the display module. The digital display will show stored data and operator inputs. -

Page 21: Program Access Mode
DF4000 Rev0204 Program Access Mode When in the program access mode the digital display will show operator inputs, program options, and error codes. To gain access to the program features a three digit program code must be entered. Review the Program Code Descriptions or refer to Table 1. -
Page 22: Program Code Descriptions
DF4000 Rev0204 Program Code Descriptions When a valid three digit program code has been entered a program value or option will show in the display. The MODE and TOTAL buttons are used change the data. The MODE button will select the digit that is to be changed. The digit will flash. The TOTAL button will change the digit that is flashing or change the option choice. -

Options: 0001 to 9999 This code will allow the high flow warning to be set. When the flow rate is above the high flow warning program value, the flow display will alternately flash between the flow rate and -HI-.

Page 26: Calibration
DF4000 Rev0204 CALIBRATION The INSIGHT digital flowmeter is precalibrated and tested at the factory. Plumbing systems are always unique and may cause small deviations in the factory calibration. The flowmeter should be checked after installation for accuracy and calibrated when necessary. - Page 27 DF4000 Rev0204 Flow Calibration, Multiple Point (Code 322) This function allows for the display to be calibrated at multiple flow rates. It corrects for nonlinear flow in difficult to plumb locations to provide an accurate flow rate display. Select flow rates to calibrate (up to 10 calibration points) that are within the most commonly used flow range for the discharge.
