FLOW METER

The flow meter is a gear-type positive displacement meter specially designed for paint and will measure flow
up to 1900cc per minute. A sensor detects the movement of the inner gears and sends an electronic signal in
the form of a pulse to the controller.
Flow Meter Do:
Filter the paint with a minimum 100 mesh filter. Change filter screens regularly.
•
Use pressure regulators upstream from the flow meter to prevent false readings from fluctuating pump
•
pressure spikes.
Make sure the system is properly grounded and avoid electrical noise at the machine location.
•
Calibrate the flow meter cc's/pulse frequently. Even different batches of the same paint can have different
•
flow characteristics.
Store the meter filled with solvent.
•
Remove the tube/nut when removing the flow meter from the fluid panel (the flow meter is mounted to
•
the base of the color stack using a tube fitting).
Leave the flow meter inlet and outlet fittings intact.
•
Flow Meter Do Not:
Run the meter dry or spin the gears for a prolonged time with air only.
•
Leave the meter to sit or stagnate with air or water inside the flow meter.
•
Let the meter dangle by the cable.
•
Let the meter drop onto the floor.
•
Flow Meter Calibration
Perform flow meter calibration regularly as described on the next page. The A+B calibration will verify ratio
and flow meter calibration in one simple operation.
