FLOWPET-5G
Electronic Register STARTUP GUIDE
Thank you for choosing the FLOWPET-5G.
・ This Startup Guide provides basic information that is
helpful for starting the use of the FLOWPET-5G electronic
register. For detailed explanation of the FLOWPET-5G's
functions and operation instructions, refer to the accompa-
nying instruction manual before use.
・ Please keep this Startup Guide handy for quick reference.
2. OPERATION BUTTONS
・The push buttons for operation (MODE and RESET) are located on the back of the display.
Left back: MODE button
Right back: RESET button
4. WIRING (for models with output capability)
①Pulse output type
②Analog output + Pulse output type
※1 : SIG.1 and SIG.2 can generate pulses by built-in battery power without external power source.(Battery life is 8 years approximately.)
For analog output only model, leave the ends of SIG.1 and SIG.2 cables open since they will not be used. Alarm output is optional.
8. DISPLAY MENU TREE
Under "Review Mode", setting changes to the items listed
below and using special functions such as "Simulated
Output" are available.

⇒Refer to the corresponding sections in the instruction
manual for the procedures such as changing each
parameter and operating the simulated output function
[NOTE]
All parameters are set before shipment based on the
specifications at the time of order receipt, and generally
there is no need for the users to perform parameter
setting. Proper flow measurement may be unavailable if
parameter setting is performed inappropriately. Please
avoid performing unnecessary changes to the param-
eters. (Confirm the corresponding sections in the instruc-
tion manual thoroughly in case it is necessary to make
parameter changes.)
Please read before installation and use
OPERATING CONDITIONS
To maintain high accuracy and long life of this meter, it is necessary that the meter
be used within the specified conditions in flow rate, pressure, temperature and
viscosity. These operating conditions are stated on the nameplate of the register.
Confirm the contents of the nameplate thoroughly before installation and operation.
PRECAUTIONS ON INSTALLATION LOCATION
(1) In this register, a magnetic sensor is used to pick up magnetic fields of signaling
magnets embedded in the rotor. For this reason, the FLOWPET should be
installed sufficiently away from sources generating magnetic field. If a magnetic
valve of 10 watts or so is used, separate it at least 10 centimeters from the
flowmeter (varies with operating conditions).
(2) For applications in cold regions, install the meter indoors (boiler room, for
example) to prevent accidents caused by freezing.
①A vertical run is recommended for ease of pipeline drainage. Provide a drain
plug.
②When installing lagging, do not lag the electronic register, strainer cover, and
drain plug. Also, make sure of ready separation of the meter from the piping
assembly. NOTE: Refer to the corresponding sections in the instruction
manual for piping details.
(3) This register operates at the temperature range of -10 to +60゜ C. To ensure its
operation within the specified temperature range, protect the register with a
sunshade or heat shield if exposure to elevated temperatures by direct sunlight,
reflected heat, etc., is expected.
(4) This register is designed for indoor use: install the meter in a location free from
rainwater, oil, or sunlight. If exposure to such environment is unavoidable,
provide appropriate weather protection or sunshade.
All specifications in this startup guide are subject to change without
notice for improvement in performance and product quality.

:Holding the MODE switch pressed for more than 2 seconds at this
display changes the Review Mode to the Write Mode. The following
operations are enabled in the Write Mode:
①Pressing the MODE switch moves the digit one place to the left.
②Pressing the RESET switch increases the figure by one.
③Holding the MODE switch pressed for more than 2 seconds again
changes the mode back to the Review Mode.

When the MODE button is
kept pressed down:
⇒Bars begin to disappear
one by one from the left
⇒Holding the MODE button down
until the last bar disappears
executes long-press process
(Switching between Normal
mode and Review mode, or
finalizing the parameter setting,
etc.). If turned OFF (releasing
the MODE button) before the
last bar disappears, the same
operation as ①Normal operation
will take place.
