Second, electromagnetic flowmeters detect the flow by electrically measuring the velocity of the liquid, which makes them independent of viscosity or density of the fluid measured. They are extremely accurate using the standard calibration number. SurePoint still recommends you perform a catch test to verify the system is properly installed and configured.

Earlier model flowmeters (meters with white labels with black text) have different calibration numbers. The flow cal number (pulses per gallon) is printed on the serial number sticker on the side of the flowmeter. 396-4953Y1 SurePoint PumpRight for Sentinel Rate Control Revised 05/13/2022...
These indicators use an o-ring and wire clip connection to snap together in any configuration necessary. SurePoint has simple tee brackets and U-bolts that will mount these to a variety of bar sizes. Two main types of flow indicators are used. On 30”...

The low flow column has a smaller internal diameter. This means a heavier ball can be used to monitor a smaller flow. SurePoint uses the low flow columns with 1/4” push to connect out- let fittings. The flow capability of 1/4” tubing and the low flow column are a 400-2011A1 great pair for rates on 30”...

PN 136-04-04QC04QC 4 lb check valves are typically used with electric pump systems. SurePoint recommends this valve for use with 1/4” tubing applying up to 10 GPA on 30” rows. The recommended minimum system operating pressure for this check is 10 psi, to ensure all checks open fully.
Metering Tube / LiquiShiftTube Charts. SurePoint dual metering tube plumbing kits are a great way to apply fertilizer. These plumbing kits will contain everything you need to distribute fertilizer from the flowmeter outlet down to the ground application device of your choice (not included).
If the load sense is needed, do this: First, remove the load sense plug and install a #6 male boss x #6 JIC adapter fitting, SurePoint PN 161-01-6MB-6MJ. Then run a 3/8” or 1/4”...

PumpRight after the seed distribution fan. If using this method, the SurePoint PWM bypass valve must be open (see previous page for instruction & picture). If bypass is left closed, the SurePoint valve will limit the speed of the seed distribution fan.

PumpRight Hydraulic Oil Flow Requirements (Requirements for 4.0 CID Motor—standard SurePoint motor beginning in 2016— Earlier motor was 4.9 CID which uses 20% more oil) Installation Overview Setting Tractor Hydraulic Remote Speed PumpRight pumps require a constant hydraulic oil flow from Model PR17 - 3 Diaphragms the tractor.
Hydraulic Pump Will Not Turn Turn hydraulics off, go to the SurePoint Hydraulic PWM valve and use the manual override (red knob) on top of the electric coil to manually open the valve (Manual Override UP = valve fully Trouble- open).
5. Change Flow Cal back to appropriate Flow Cal when finished with Tap Test. 6. SurePoint has a Speed/Flow Simulator (PN 219-01462) or a Tap Tester (212-03-3912Y1) that can be used to confirm if the wiring is good between the flowmeter and controller.
Connect the (-) end of the battery to pin C and the (+) end to pin A of the pressure connector. The 1.5 v should show up as 30 psi on the screen. 396-4953Y1 SurePoint PumpRight for Sentinel Rate Control Revised 05/13/2022...

4. If there is a DC% showing, but the pump is not running, check the hydraulics or the EPD on an electric pump system. Verify there is voltage on the 2-pin PWM Connector. 396-4953Y1 SurePoint PumpRight for Sentinel Rate Control Revised 05/13/2022...
20% of working pressure. So, if your system operates at 50 psi, charge the air bladder to 10 psi. Due to the small size of the air bladder, very little air is needed. SurePoint recommends charging a portable air tank to the correct pressure, then attach to the bladder valve to charge the air bladder to the same pressure as your air tank.
