! The F-1000 is factory calibrated to ± 2% of full scale rate reading. When measuring total flow, accumulated error over time must be considered. Accuracy is based on laboratory testing of nominal pipe dimensions. Your actual accuracy will vary based on your actual pipe I.D. - Page 5 D x V Flow conditions with a Reynolds Number greater than 4000 is fully developed turbulent flow. A Reynolds Number less than 2000 is laminar flow. The F-1000 requires a Reynolds number greater than 4000 to maintain accuracy. Fig. 4 Horizontal Mount ®...

Select an area on the pipe as outlined in section 4.1. Be sure the surface area of the pipe is clean and smooth. Drill a 1-1/8" diameter hole through the pipe wall. The F-1000 meter can be installed up to 45 degrees from the top of the pipe. A hole saw kit is available from the factory, order part number 20000-062. -

Ceramic, titanium or nickel axles are available for corrosive and abrasive fluids. Although the F-1000 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. Do not install the meter so that the LCD is in direct sunlight. -

Questions and answers
Installed f-1000 - rb in 3" schedule 80 pipe. Reads 0.0 gpm. Looked at trouble shooting page 10 6.0 and it tells you nothing. Thoughts?
Possible reasons for the Blue-White F-1000 reading 0.0 gpm when installed in 3" schedule 80 pipe include:
1. Incorrect pipe size or saddle: The sensor must match the actual pipe inner diameter. Schedule 80 pipe has a smaller ID than nominal, which affects accuracy and paddle contact with flow.
2. Paddle not moving: Obstruction, debris, or improper installation may prevent the paddle from rotating.
3. Flow below minimum range: The flow may be too low for the sensor’s detection range.
4. Sensor wear or damage: Worn or damaged paddle or axle, possibly due to prolonged high flow or abrasive fluids, can cause zero reading.
5. Improper installation: Misalignment or incorrect sensor insertion depth may prevent accurate flow detection.
6. Electrical or wiring issues: Loose or incorrect connections can result in no signal being read.
