Series DFMT Digital Paddlewheel Flowmeter Bulletin F-DFMT Specifications - Installation Operating Instructions -/8 [00] -/ [8] -/8 [00] A The Series DFMT Digital Paddlewheel Flow Transmitter provides instantaneous as well as talizing flow moniring making it ideal for commercial industrial systems. The large backlit LCD display makes navigating through the menu structure simple. The Series DFMT uses high accuracy paddlewheel technology offers a user selectable 0 ma or pulse output has a corrosion resistant PVDF sensor giving it long life. rs can reset the talizer at any time set a security password protecting the setting from unauthorized changes. Installation Instructions The accuracy of these flowmeters can be affected by disturbances such as pumps elbows tees valves that are in the flow stream. To reduce the error caused by these disturbances pick a section of pipe that is at a distance from any pumps bends or valves. The recommended distance away from elbows pumps is shown in Figure. flange xi.d. x90 elbow xi.d. reducing 90 elbow xi.d. xi.d. 0xI.D. xi.d. x90 elbow division plane pump/valve xi.d. xi.d. 0xI.D. xi.d. 0xI.D. Figure : Mounting Straight Pipe Runs Required xi.d Mounting Location To reduce the possibility of causing damage the Series DFMT it is recommended that the meter be mounted in a full flow pipe. Vertical mounting is acceptable provided the liquid is flowing up through the meter or a sufficient back pressure exists on the downward flow. On horizontal mountings it is recommended that the meter be mounted perpendicular the pipe. For systems that may have small air pockets at the p of the pipe the meter can be mounted up off the vertical normal. -/8 [9] B SPECIFICATIONS Service: Compatible clean liquids.

L/h m /h 0 ma Output The Series DFMT can provide a variable current output that is proportional the detected flow rate. This output can be used in a range of external interface devices can be calibrated suit a particular flow range. The maximum load resistance is 0 Ω including the cables used connect. confirm the change or press To change talization units: From the menu select. L/h m /h Select. Pulse (Frequency) Output The Series DFMT offers a frequency pulsed output that can be configured as a linear flow proportional frequency output or a stard pulsed output via the unit software. The maximum pulse output frequency is khz with a pulse amplitude of V a maximum load current of 0.A. The pulse output frequency is adjustable from 00-000 Hz (please refer To Change The Maximum Frequency under Setup ). When utilizing the unit with a linear proportional frequency output the liter/pulse option must be set 0.0 (please refer To Change the Pulse/Liters under the Setup ) the frequency output signal scaled the desired range within the units capability (please refer To Set Qmax under the Setup Menu scale frequency output signal). When utilizing the unit as a stard pulsed output (please refer Setup under the Setup Menu ). change the desired flow units. select units. confirm the change or press Resolution The Series DFMT has a selectable resolution of up decimal points for both the flow talization units.
