Global Water 800-876-1172 • globalw.com Congratulations on your purchase of the Global Water FC220 Flow Monitor. This instrument has been quality tested and approved for providing accurate and reliable measurements. We are confident that you will find the monitor to be a valuable asset for your application. Should you require assistance, our technical staff will be happy to help. - Page 3 A 16-character name can be programmed into the FC220 by the user to identify the installation site or show other information about the configuration.
- Page 4 Note: The FC220 flow monitor requires a level sensor to operate. Two and three wire level sensors with 4-20mA, 0-5 volt and 0-1 volt outputs are supported. A sensor is not supplied with the FC220, contact Global Water for more information on available sensors.

12 volt supply, or directly from the 18-24 volt input. The power can also be connected continuously or it can be set to be turned on and off by the FC220 when using power saving mode. In this mode the sensor is turned on at user defined intervals for a programmable warm-up time, then turned off again to conserve power. -
Page 10: Power Saving Mode
Global Water 800-876-1172 • globalw.com VIII. Power Saving Mode A power saving mode is provided that allows the operating current to be reduced in remote monitoring applications. One way this is accomplished is to turn off the LCD display backlight, this saves about 20mA of current. Three modes allow the user to turn the backlight on all the time, off all the time, or turn it on for one minute only. -

3-4 years, more often in harsh environments or when the battery is allowed to be completely discharged. Trouble Shooting d. Verify that the power source is supplying correct voltage to the FC220 and to the sensor. e. Make sure that the vent tube has not been kinked or sealed. The sensor uses this tube to compensate for barometric pressure changes. - Page 19 24 hours to dry the inside of the cable. Other issues a.
