Page 6: Installation
When connected to external equipment such as a PLC, data logger, or Blue- White metering pump, the pulse output signal can be used as a flow verification signal. When used with Blue-White metering pumps, connect the positive (+) terminal on the Micro-Flow circuit board to the pump’s yellow signal input wire... -

Page 8: Operation
OPERATION THEORY OF OPERATION The Micro-Flo flowmeter is designed to measure the flow rate and accumulate the total volume of a fluid. The unit contains a paddle wheel that has six (6) through holes to allow infrared light to pass through, a light-detecting circuit and a LCD- display electronic circuit. -
Page 9: Flow Stream Requirements
Page 9 FLOW STREAM REQUIREMENTS ! The Micro-flo flowmeter can measure fluid flow in either direction. ! The meter must be mounted so that the paddle axle is in a horizontal position - up to 10 off the horizontal is acceptable. -

Page 11: Programming
Page 11 PROGRAMMING The Micro-Flo flowmeter uses a K-factor to calculate the flow rate and total. The K-factor is defined as the number of pulses generated by the paddle per volume of fluid flow. Each of the six different body sizes have different operating flow ranges and different K-factors. -

Page 14: Fvs
MICRO-FLO Page 14 The Micro Flow FVS can be connected directly to many Blue-White injector pumps (see table below). The sensor will verify that chemical injection has actually occurred. The pumps sophisticated electronics continuously monitor the sensor. If chemical should fail to inject, the pump will stop and an alarm relay will close - allowing for remote alarm indication and/or initiation of a back-up injector pump. -
Page 15: Fvs Accessories
This strainer will prevent any small particles from entering and clogging the Micro Body. Diaphragm pumps will require a strainer and a check valve. The part number for the strainer that includes a check valve is C-340A. Blue-White peristaltic pumps do not require a check valve. -
