IMPORTANT INFORMATION INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
FLUID COMPATABILITY
Before use, confirm the fluid to be used is
compatible with the meter. Refer to Industry
fluid compatibility charts or consult your local
representative for advice.
STRAINER
To prevent damage from dirt or foreign matter 1. It is recommended that when setting up pipe work
it is recommended that a Y or Basket type for meter installations, a bypass line be included
60 mesh strainer be installed as close as in the design. This provides the facility for a meter

keep the strainer clean will dramatically effect 2. Use thread sealant on all pipe threads.
flow meter performance.
Contact your local representative for advice. 3. For pump applications ensure pipe work and
Meter have the appropriate working pressure
rating to match the pressure output of the pump.
AIR PURGE / LINE PRESSURE Refer to Meter Specifications section for further
details.
To prevent damage caused by air purge slowly
fill the meter with fluid. 4. Install a wire mesh strainer, Y or basket type
To reduce pressure build-up turn off the 60 mesh (250 micron), as close as possible to the

MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE
Note: It is advisable to mark all components with a 7. Test the meter by turning the rotors with a finger
marker pen before disassembly, to ensure all the or by applying very low air pressure (no more
components are replaced to their correct position than a good breath) to one end of the meter,
during the reassembly process. before returning the meter to service.
1. Remove the meter cap by loosening the bolts on
the underside of the meter body. (see FIG 1) FIG 1
2. Remove the O-Ring from the O-Ring groove in the
meter cap.
Wipe clean of grease and store in clean place
REASSEMBLY
1. Before reassembling check the condition of the
rotors (replace if necessary). FIG 2

ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS
The MX Flow meter series is supplied with either a Blind Pulser and Digital Display option.
Please note the wiring diagrams in the following pages are for the Blind Pulser Output Modules and the PCB
(Sensor Board), which is responsible for providing a Raw Pulse input to the LC display
If the Flow meter is supplied with an LC Display fitted, please consult the appropriate Instruction Manual, as
advised below, for all programming and wiring instructions.
Output option: type ‘D’ type ’E’ type ‘F” type “G’ type “H”
Display Type : PR PRA ER ERA ERB ERS (remote mount only)
Display Part Number: MXD-DS MXD-ES MXD-ES MXD-GS MXD-HS ERS-RMP / ERS-RMA
Instruction Sheet: DR013 DR014 MS574 MS392 MS476 MS351
Analogue outputs are available as an auxiliary display signal by including either of the following LC displays with your flow-
meter. These may be fitted to the meter or remote (wall mount) types.

Reed Switch
To maximise the life of the reed switch contacts, the pulse board comes equipped with a 1k8Ω current limiting resistor in series
with the reed switch as standard.
These resistors are user swappable should you require a different value for your system.
The output for the hall effect sensor is NPN (current sinking, open collector). For correct operation, it is advisable to have a pull
-up resistor installed.
The hall effect sensor is equipped with a 1k8Ω pull-up resistor between signal and supply as standard.
This in-built pull-up resistor can be bypassed by moving the jumper pin to the off position if required.
A pull-up resistor of your choosing can be installed between signal and supply, provided the in-built pull-up resistor be by-
passed first.
