SPECIFICATIONS (continued) AMBIENT AND FLUID TEMPERATURE LIMITS NOTE: The upper limit of the “Useable Combination” area can be increased by 10°F (6°C) when lithium batteries are installed in the Q9 Display.
Module shown installed on G2 1” stainless steel flowmeter Figure 1 Note: This 4-20mA module is designed for use with most* FLOMEC meters that are equipped with the Q9 display option. The 4-20mA module can be field calibrated through the configuration menu options on the Q9 display.
INSTALLATION Installing Module NOTE: Factory installed 4-20mA modules will have the zero set to the meter’s minimum specified flow rate and the span will be set to the meter’s maximum specified flow rate. Remove the display electronics from the front of the turbine. NOTE: If you are installing more than one module at a time, take care to keep the proper electronics paired with the original turbine.
INSTALLATION (Continued) Wiring The 4-20mA module comes pre-wired for external connections to external power and provides an open collector output, which can be set to either raw or scaled pulse output. The wires are color coded to connect as shown in Figures 3 & 4. Wire Color Feature 4-20mA (+)

INSTALLATION (Continued) WIRING (Continued) NOTE: The internal and external options for the pull up resistance and voltage is selectable by the header on the 4-20mA board (see Figures 4a & 4b). When the Jumper is on the top two pins, the “external resistor required” option is selected (Figure 4a).
OPERATION / CALIBRATION Adjusting ZERO and SPAN To set or adjust ZERO and SPAN settings, refer to the Q9 Owner’s Manual (Non-Agency) Configuration Mode (Daughter Board Options) and Calibration Mode Section for further instructions. NOTE: The Q9 Display controls the 4-20 mA settings. It is recommended to verify and set (if necessary) the most optimal Calibration Method of the Q9 Display (see Q9 Owner’s Manual referenced above) before adjusting 4-20mA settings.
TROUBLESHOOTING Symptom Possible Cause(s) Corrective Action 1. Incorrect or no input power. 1. Supply correct power requirements. 2. Not wired correctly. 2. Check owner’s manual for correct installation. 3. Broken connection. 3. Check resistance to determine location of break. A. No output signal. 4.
