– from the laboratory to harsh industrial processes. Optional seal materials allow for different fluid compatibility. Max Machinery, Inc. designs, manufactures, calibrates, and refurbishes high accuracy, high resolution, precision liquid flow meters under an ISO 9001:2015 certified quality management system. All Max Precision Flow Meters are tested and calibrated in our lab and provide measurements traceable to NIST.
Fitting kits contain detailed instructions and are shipped with every meter (contact Max Machinery for spare ferrule kits). Always torque to values on fitting kit instructions. Select tubing grades that meet or exceed your system pressure requirements. If using flexible tubing, install a tubing insert to allow compression ferrules to seal (suggested inserts: Swagelok SS-405-2, SS-405-03 or SS- 405-170).

Installation - Mechanical Bypass Valves: Install valves to allow system start- up, filter replacement, or flow meter removal without completely shutting the system down and draining the lines. See diagram. Failure to use a bypass at start up may lead to flow meter damage due to debris, overspeeding the meter with air in the lines, and pressure shock due to initial line surges.
Mechanical - Operation Determine that the following parameters of your flow metering system are within the specifications for the specific meter being used: Maximum System Pressure (Specifications) Differential Pressure across meter (Pressure Drop Curves) Maximum Flow Rate (Pressure Drop Curves) Metered Fluid Temperature (Sales specification, transmitter specifications page 8) If the metered fluid is greater than 28°C (80°F) over ambient, see the “High Temperature Start Up”...
Installation - Electrical WARNING: Electrical shock hazard. Serious or fatal injury may occur. Installation/Removal should only be completed by trained and authorized personnel. WARNING: Refer to the EXInstall Sheet for proper installation in hazardous locations. CAUTION: Verify transmitter output type (Analog or Frequency) before wiring. Inappropriate wiring could result in damaging the circuit.
You must determine if your process automation electronics have the capability to accept the high frequency output of the Max Flow Meter. If your system cannot accept the data at the pre-set frequency, then use the Max Machinery Interface Software Kit to adjust the frequency output to a lower setting that matches your system.

Note: There are no selections or adjustments on the circuit board. Setting changes are made through the Interface Software Kit (SFT-KIT-001), sold separately. If the PCA is not functioning, PCA replacement kits are available by contacting Max Machinery. P-Series User Manual Rev2020A...
An alternating blue/green LED indicates that the circuit is detecting a magnet and provides an output signal. A steady or flashing red LED indicates a problem with the transmitter PCA. Contact Max Machinery to have your flow meter refurbished.

The flow meter being compensated must not be used for system flow rate feedback control during this process. The transmitter output is disabled during the compensation routine. If you are unable to run a stable flow in the field, send your meter in to Max Machinery for calibration. The compensation routine is as follows: 1.
5 revolutions at the stated flow rates. If compensation fails, restart the compensation process. When using the Interface Software Kit, follow instructions provided to correct errors prior to attempting compensation again. If problems persist, contact Max Machinery at 707-433-2662 or at www.maxmachinery.com.
