1.0 INTRODUCTION TO THE F-1000
Congratulations on purchasing the F-1000 electronic flow meter. The F-1000 is designed to measure the flow
of a fluid in a pipe. The meter is factory calibrated to any engineering units and displays the rate of flow or the
total of flow on a 6 digit LCD display. Two AAA batteries power the unit for up to one year. There are three
models are available:
F-1000-RB is a rate meter - designed to measure and display the rate of flow.
F-1000-TB is a totalizer meter - designed to measure and display the total flow.
F-1000-RT is a rate/totalizer meter - designed to measure and display both the rate of flow and the total flow.
3. FEATURES
Easy to read .35" high, six digit LCD display.
Weather resistant enclosure.
Installs quickly on existing pipe.
Corrosion resistant PVDF sensor, ABS
Factory calibrated -nothing to program. enclosure.
Minimal maintenance required. High accuracy.
No pressure drop. Large calibrated flow range.
