  • Page 5: Introduction

    MC-II Flow Analyzer Introduction The NuFlo MC-II Flow Analyzer combines with a turbine flowmeter to provide an accurate display of accu- mulated flow volume and flow rate of liquids and gases in a simple-to-use, battery-powered instrument. The MC-II’s microprocessor circuitry counts the pulses generated by a companion flowmeter, converts that data into volume and rate values in accordance with calibration settings, and displays the totalized data on two six-digit liquid crystal displays (LCD’s).

  • Page 9: Installation

    MC-II Flow Analyzer Installation General The MC-II Flow Analyzer is most commonly mounted directly on top of its companion flowmeter. However, if the flowmeter is in a line that has vibration or if the meter’s location makes a direct mount difficult, the MC- II can be mounted on vertical or horizontal 2-in.

  • Page 11: Attaching Switchplate Labels

    MC-II Flow Analyzer To install the MC-II with the remote mount option, perform the following steps: 1. Place the “U” bolts around the pipe the MC-II is to be mounted on, then through the mounting bracket. Note that the holes in the mounting bracket are arranged such that it may be used with horizontal or verti- cal pipe.
