INSTALLATION
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
This computer electronics is
designed specifically for use on
GPI Turbine Housings. It is also
®
designed to work with several
accessory output modules.
The CMOS, microprocessor-based
electronics have extremely low
power requirements and data
retention capabilities in both RAM
and ROM. Information is clearly
displayed on a large 6-digit LCD
readout with three-point floating
decimal for totals from
INSTALLATION
Before installation, ensure your
computer model meets your specific
needs. Refer to the Specifications
Section to confirm required
features. The model number of
your computer is displayed on
the outside wall of the computer
housing and also inside the
computer housing on the floor of the
battery holder.
If you ordered your computer
electronics with a turbine body,
the electronics are installed at the
factory.
If you ordered your computer
separately as a replacement, simply
mount the computer on your turbine
body with the four screws at the

operations are easily accessed with
the two buttons on the front panel.
In a GPI turbine meter, liquid flows
through the turbine housing causing
an internal rotor to spin. As the
rotor spins, an electrical signal
is generated in the pickup coil.
This pulse data from the turbine is
translated into calibrated flow units
shown on the computer's display
readout.

sure the seal is fully seated before
tightening the screws.
If you ordered the computer
with a turbine body and an
accessory module, please review
and thoroughly understand all
installation instructions before
proceeding.
All GPI turbine meters are designed
to measure flow in only one
direction. The direction is indicated
by the arrow on the turbine outlet
port. If the computer display is
upside down in your installation,
remove the four screws, turn the
display 180 degrees and reinstall
the screws. (See Figure 6)
NOTE: When rotating the computer
display, it is not necessary to
disconnect the pickup coil connector,
however, care should be taken
to avoid inadvertent strain on the
connector wires.
