Safety Definitions and Information Do not attempt to install or use your AW Gear Meters product until you have read the safety instructions in this section. Save this manual and keep it in an easily accessible place. Unpacking Separate the flow meter from packaging materials and check for any visual signs of damage.
Figure 1: Typical flow meter installation with bypass Orientation Positive displacement gear flow meters can be installed either a horizontal or vertical (flow up) orientation. 2-3 psi of backpressure is required to assure the meter is always full of fluid. No straight run pipe is required upstream or downstream of the meter.
The fluids you are metering should be compatible with these materials. All-in-One Pickup Sensor The FPD-4000 Series comes with an all-in-one sensor that easily mounts on the flow meter and has 3 different output types available. We have equipped the sensor with a Bluetooth feature, which allows users to use a mobile app to setup the sensor and view real time outputs with their smart devices.
Installation Preferred Flow Direction The preferred flow direction is marked with an arrow on the meter showing the flow direction in which the flow meter was calibrated (see figure 2). However, the flow meters have bi-directional flow capabilities and are often used for bi-directional flow applications.
Installing a Bypass If possible, install a bypass around the flow meter, and flush existing piping with the appropriate liquid before first use. See Figure 1. Pickup Sensor Installation Before attaching the sensor to the flow meter, check for any potential clearance issues.
Operation CAUTION: Before installing, operating or attempting maintenance on a flow meter, read the appropriate Maintenance Guide. As with any precision- engineered device, always operate and maintain the equipment in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Overview Flow meters are designed to measure the flow of liquids, which assist in cooling and lubrication.
NOTE: During line shutdowns such as overnight and over weekends, flush and leave meters filled with proper cleaning fluid under pressure to allow any residue that may have built up to soak and dissolve. End of Shift and Overnight Preparations At the end of a shift or overnight, leave cleaning fluid in the flow meter under pressure, to soak.
Maintenance Follow these general guidelines for operating and maintaining your positive displacement flow meter. Use the Maintenance Guides Always review the Maintenance Guides provided with the flow meter (download additional copies at www.awgearmeters.com ) prior to attempting any maintenance work. The majority of down time and repairs is the result of breakages due to improper maintenance actions, lack of training or rough handling.
Storage When the flow meter is idle or stored for any extended period, perform the following: 1. Clean the internals thoroughly with the appropriate fluid 2. Lubricate with a light oil or other non-corrosive fluid 3. Cap or plug the ports to prevent drying Flow Meter Do’s and Don’ts DO: Leave flushing fluid in the lines overnight or during extended off-times.
DON’T: Allow materials to dry inside the flow meter. When a flow meter is removed from the line during maintenance, clean the internals immediately, lubricate the gears, and cap the fluid ports. DON’T: Over tighten the pick-up sensor beyond hand tight. When installing the pickup sensor, turn it in lightly to a hand-tight torque.
of difference between the average beaker sample and the average displayed total. If the error is not rectified, clean the flow meter thoroughly and repeat the procedure. Do not use water for this test. For most accuracy results, calibrate using fluid to be measured with flowmeter. If it is necessary to re-calculate a new k-factor You will first need a data-collecting instrument to count pulses produced by the flow meter.

Industry Standard M12-A Connectors Figure 5: Cable Pin-outs Signal Outputs Frequency Each model of sensor comes equipped with a frequency output. Single pulse versions need to be specified as Sinking or Sourcing when ordered. For all others, frequency out can be set to 3 different output types; Push-Pull, Sinking, and Sourcing.
Input Source For versions with dual pick-ups, the sensor offers 5 different choices on the frequency output lines; Signal 1, Signal 2, Signal 1+2, Direction, and Limits. Signal 1 – Outputs frequency from pick-up 1 (leads signal 2 by 90° phase shift) Signal 2 –...
Bluetooth app for Android devices (Android 10 or newer operating systems) is available that allows scaling of the analog output wirelessly. The application can be found on the OMEGA website or on the Google Play store. *Allow device location for the...

Max Flow Rate: The flow rate at which the analog output should be at its max. Max Flow Units: Selects what unit to scale flow in. *Flow units will affect Max Flow Rate. Verify both after changing flow units. Max Flow Time Base: Can be set to Sec, Min, Hours, and Days. *Time base will affect the Max Flow Rate.

Output Mode – User has the option to select the output type of the signal. The 3 options include: Push-Pull, Sinking (NPN), and sourcing (PNP). See Page 17 for further descriptions. Output Calibration WARNING: Modifying these outputs could result in inaccurate analog signals. This menu is provided to adjust the sensor analog output to correspond correctly with the analog output of the input device.
