Assembly instructions Installation in pipes The FMT 3 possesses G1" external threads on both sides which allow it to be installed in any pipe. When doing so, please ensure that the meter is not under mechanical stress due to tension/pressure or bending.
Rotating the display (only versions without pulse out) The display of the FMT 3 [1] can be mounted both vertically as well as horizontally in order to allow the meter to be read off comfortably. To turn the display, the four screws [2] on the top side are loosened and the display is pulled upwards.
You do not have to pay attention to the direction of flow, as the FMT 3 can be used with both flow directions. Once you have screwed in the meter all the way, you can align the meter together with the •...

Setting the medium conveyed The FMT 3 meter is configured with two optimized characteristic curves for watery media such as water or AdBlue, as well as for thin mineral oils such as diesel or fuel oil at 20 °C. One of these two characteristic curves can be chosen.
Setting the calibration factor 5.4.1 Calibration The selected characteristic curve of the FMT 3 can be subjected to an additional calibration to compensate for special operating conditions, such as unusual media temperatures or borderline flow values. Shown on the partial volume display are the measured quantity for the last dispensation, as well as the calibration factor in the lower line (factory default 1000, configurable values 500–1500).

The screen of the display may turn milky upon contact with solvents. Changing the battery When the battery symbol appears on the display, it is recommended that the batteries of the FMT 3 be changed as soon as possible. It will be possible to continue using the meter, but the display illumination will not work.
