The PRO Pulse Volumetric Flow Meter is designed to
detect the pulses induced on a magnetic sensor each
time a gear tooth passes by the sensor. A specific
volume of fluid flows through the meter with each gear
tooth rotation. See the front cover for the specific fluid

Install the air line accessories in the order shown in the
Typical Installation, using adapters as necessary.
Installing the System
Connect the air line to the Flow Meter by pressing the
front ferrule (D) and back ferrule (C) onto the tubing
(A). See Fig. 1. Press the assembly into the fitting (E)
and tighten the nut (A). Connect the fiber optic cables
by pressing the front ferrule (L) and back ferrule (K)
onto the cable (G).
WARNING
To help reduce the risk of serious injury, including
splashing in the eyes or on the skin, the bleed-type
1
air shut-off valve (B ) must be installed in the
system to relieve air trapped between this valve
and the pump after the air is shut off. Trapped air
can cause the pump to cycle unexpectedly. Locate
the valve close to the pump.
The maximum fiver optic cable length is 100 ft (30.5
m) with two splices. See Accessories on page 14 to
order cables.

dampened in a compatible solvent as needed.
1. Relieve the pressure.
2. Connect the fluid line to the solvent supply unit.
3. Flush the meter until it is clean.
3. Flush the fluid supply line and meter fluid reservoir
daily with a compatible solvent as instructed at
right.
4. Relieve the pressure, then disconnect the fluid
line from the solvent supply unit.
