UNPACKING THE FPB1400

1.1 Inspect Package for External Damage

Your was carefully packed in a sturdy cardboard carton, with anti-static cushioning materials to withstand shipping shock. Upon receipt, inspect the package for possible external damage. In case of external damage to the package contact the shipping company immediately.

Remove the Packing List and verify that you have received all equipment. If you have any questions about the shipment, please call the Omega ® Customer Service

Department at 1-800-622-2378 or (203) 359-1660. Your FPB1400 Paddle Wheel Meter was carefully packed in a sturdy cardboard carton, with anti-static cushioning materials to withstand shipping shock. Upon receipt, inspect the package for possible external damage. In case of external damage to the package contact the shipping company immediately.

1.2

Unpack the Paddle Wheel Meter

Open the carton carefully from the top and inspect for any sign of concealed shipping damage. In addition to contacting the shipping carrier please forward a copy of any damage report to Omega ® directly. When unpacking the instrument please make sure that you have all the items indicated on the Packing List. Please report any shortages promptly.

1.3 Returning Merchandise for Repair

Please contact an Omega ® customer service representative and request a Return

Authorization Number (AR). It is mandatory that any equipment returned for servicing be purged and neutralized of any dangerous contents including but not limited to toxic, bacterially infectious, corrosive or radioactive substances. No work shall be performed on a returned product unless the customer submits a fully executed, signed SAFETY

CERTIFICATE. Safety form can be obtained from Omega ® Customer Service.

FPB1400 PADDLE WHEEL METERS

2.1 Principles of Operation

FPB1400 liquid flow meters consist of a meter body that is installed in-line in a conduit system. Inside, between the inlet and the outlet connections is a rotary wheel with permanent magnets embedded at 180 degrees in paddles.

Fluid flowing through the meter causes the paddle to spin. A magnetic sensor picks up the frequency of pulses, and the readings are proportional to the liquid flow taking place. The number of pulses per unit time interval and a K-factor (pulses/unit of flow) facilitate determining the volumetric rate of flow through the meter.

INSTALLATION

NPT female inlet and outlet port sizes are shown in the table in the flow rate on the preceding page.

It is necessary to include an upstream straight pipe of at least five times the inside diameter of the line.

Installation horizontally or vertically is acceptable.

The magnetic sensor requires 5-24 VDC power (30 mA max. load).

FLOW SENSOR CONNECTION CONFIGURATION:

RED - 5-26 VDC power (+)

BLACK - POWER (-), COMMON

GREEN - SENSOR NPN OPEN COLLECTOR OUTPUT

“pull-up” resistor is necessary for PLC input with current sourcing. Recommended value: 2.2 K Ohm for 24 VDC input.

FPB1400 meters supplied with (four wire) RTD options are connected using the stainless steel temperature sensor adapter supplied.

6.

MAINTENANCE

6.1

Sensors

In rare instances, due to electrical damage, the pulse sensor needs to be replaced by unscrewing it and installing a replacement (hand tight).

The RTD /adapter subassembly is replaceable using a wrench.

6.2 Paddle Wheel Disassembly

Bearings are highly susceptible to careless disassembly and reassembly practices.

The nickel Tungsten Shaft of the Wheel is supported at each end by sapphire bearings to minimize friction and facilitate very low flow rate measurements.

The Wheel may be uninstalled by holding the Lid in place, and removing the four mounting screws, very carefully to prevent damaging the sapphire Bearings at each end of the Shaft. If the Bearings are shattered, they need to be replaced.

Reassembly is made ensuring that the Shaft ends are inserted gently into the sapphire

Bearings. Check to see if the wheel is free to spin before the Lid Bearing is installed.

While holding the Lid in place, blow into the meter to verify that the Wheel is free to spin. Finally the Lid is reinstalled using the four mounting screws.



CAUTION: Never use compressed air or gases to test the meter, as this would damage the Bearings.
