Page 3 INTRODUCTION TO THE F-2000 Congratulations on purchasing the F-2000 electronic flow meter. The F-2000 is designed to measure the flow of a fluid in a pipe. The meter is factory calibrated to any engineering units and displays the rate of flow or the total of flow on a 6 digit LCD display.

HOW TO OPERATE THE F-2000 Theory of Operation The MODEL RT is the base unit of the F-2000 flow monitoring system. Fluid flowing through the pipe causes the paddlewheel to spin. Pulses generated by the spinning paddlewheel are counted and multiplied by scaling factors. The resulting flow rate amounts and total flow amounts are displayed on the LCD readout.
F-2000 Page 14 How To Operate The MODEL RT 8.2.1 What Was The MODEL RT Designed To Do? ! Display the rate of flow up to eight digits. ! Display the total amount of flow up to eight digits. ! Output an open collector signal (NPN) that is proportional to the flow rate.
- see page 16, step 6.) 8.2.3 How Do I Determine My Calibration Numbers? When ordered as a complete system, the F-2000 MODEL RT is factory programmed to the flow range you specified when you placed your order. See section 4.0 for various flow ranges.

The values in the following tables are based on laboratory testing of nominal pipe dimensions. The F-2000 sensor is factory calibrated to ±1% of full scale linearity. Your actual accuracy will vary based on your pipe I.D. And other installation factors.

Ceramic, titanium or nickel axles are available for extreme corrosive environments. Although the F-2000 is designed to withstand outdoor conditions, a cool, dry location where the unit can be easily serviced is recommended. The life of the LCD display will be severely reduced when installed in direct sunlight.
