After unpacking, it is recommended to save the 
shipping carton and packing materials in case the 
instrument is stored or re-shipped. Inspect the 
equipment and carton for damage. If there is 
evidence of shipping damage, notify the carrier 
immediately. 
 
The D300/301 flow meter can be checked for basic 
functionality using the following Bench Test 
procedure. It is recommended that this operation be 
performed before installing the transducers or 
transmitter permanently. 
 
Procedure: 
 
1. Open the D300/301 transmitter enclosure. 
2. Connect the transducer cable terminals to the
corresponding terminal block locations within the 
transmitter. The R, T and corresponding G termi-
nals are marked on the coaxial transducer cables. 
See Figure 2.1. 
3. Set the transmitter SENSE control [R10] to ap-
proximately 1/4 turn from full clockwise position.
4. Apply power.
5. Rub the face of the transducer lengthwise back
and forth with your thumb using moderate pres-
sure. The cycle time should be 1-2 times per sec-
ond. 
6. If unit is functioning properly, the RED LED lo-
cated on the bottom of the main circuit card will 
begin to flash and the rate display will indicate 
flow readings. 
7. Verify that the LED ceases to flash when the rub-
bing stops.
8. If the meter does not respond, increase the
SENSE control [R10] to approximately 1/2 turn 
from full clockwise position. Attempt Step 5 again.
