IMPORTANT INFORMATION (READ CAREFULLY)
FLUID COMPATIBILITY: Before use, confirm the fluid (liquid) to be used is compatible with the meter. Refer to
industry fluid compatibility charts or consult your local representative or distributor for advice.
FLOWMETER USAGE: The flow meter shall be used exclusively with liquids. No gases permitted to flow.
Presence of gases could create severe hazard and damage
STRAINER: To prevent damage from dirt or foreign matter, it is recommended that a Y type or Basket type mesh
strainer be installed as close as possible to the inlet side of the meter.
When a strainer is installed it should be regularly inspected and cleaned. Failure to keep the strainer
clean will dramatically effect flow meter performance. Contact your local representative for advice.
AIR PURGE / LINE PRESSURE: To prevent damage caused by air purge, slowly fill the meter with fluid.
To reduce pressure build-up turn off the pump at the end of each day.
OPERATING PRINCIPLE
Fluid passing through the meter causes the rotors to turn, as shown below. One of the rotors (the active rotor) is
fitted with magnets.
The passing of the magnets are picked up by the electronic sensor. The excitation of this switch provides a „Raw
Pulse Output‟ which relates to the K-Factor. (e.g. KF 36 = 36 pulses per litre of fluid passed)
This Pulse Output Signal can either be fed to an external receiving element (e.g. Data Logger or PLC) or
alternatively to an LC Display which conditions the Pulse signal to display volume of fluid passed. (e.g. Display 1
Litre per for every 36 pulses received)

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
1. It is recommended that a bypass line be included 5. The meter can be installed in any orientation as
in the design. This provides the facility for a long as the meter shafts are in a horizontal
meter to be removed for maintenance without plane as per the picture.
interrupting production. (see figure)
Incorrect installation can cause premature wear of
meter components.
MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE
DIS-ASSEMBLY
When maintenance to any part of the flow meter is required, it must be isolated and line pressure released. It
must be removed from the line if required. Use non sparking tools to accomplish the job.
It is advisable to mark all components with a marker pen before disassembly, to ensure all the components are
replaced to their correct position during the reassembly process.
1. Remove the meter cap by loosening the bolts on the underside of the meter body. (see FIG 1, Page 6)
2. Remove the O-Ring from the O-Ring groove. Clean it nicely and store in clean place.
3. Remove rotors from the cap and shaft assembly. The shafts are fixed to the cap for sizes 1/4” - 2” and to the
body for 3” and 4” sizes. No need to take them off.
Page 4 of 32
RE-ASSEMBLY
1. Before reassembling, check the condition of flow meter parts (rotors, body, cap, seal O-ring and shafts). Re
place if necessary. Contact Macnaught to check for spare parts availability.
2. One of the rotors is active (have magnets) and other one is neutral. The active rotor can be identified by
running a metal object over the face of the rotor. Placed both the rotors at 90° to each other onto the shafts.
Spin them to check if they move freely. If not, repeat the process.
3. Smear the O-ring with light film of grease and placed into the Groove (see FIG 3, Page 6)
5. Insert the cap head screws and tighten in a diagonal sequence 1, 5, 7, 3, etc.
6. Test the meter by turning the rotors with a finger or by applying very low air pressure (no more than a good
breath) to one end of the meter, before returning the meter to service.

FLOWMETER SPECIFICATIONS
Ensure the Flow meter is fitted with ‘High Viscosity Rotors’ if the fluid being metered is 1000 cP or above.
1 Flow meter process temperature range may be limited to sensor temperature classification.
2 Flow meter process temperature range is limited due to PPS rotors.

Reed Switch
Reed Switch: Reed Switch is a 2-wire device which
triggers by magnet inside the rotors as they spin. To
maximise the life of the reed switch, the pulse board
comes equipped with a 1k8Ω current limiting resistor
in series.
* Analogue outputs are available as an auxiliary display signal by including ERA, PRA and PRM with the flow
meter. PRA and ERA display also output scalable pulse.

During initial installation of the locking screw, the screw will need to pierce the bottom of the pulser.
This will enable the screw to „lock‟ into the plastic cam that is fixed to the flow meter.
