Introduction
Thank you for purchasing an FMBC-3000 Series electronic flow meter. The FMBC-3000 Series is designed to measure the flow of a fluid being
dispensed from Finish Thompson’s PFP, PFM, & PFV drum pumps. It also has a batch control feature that automatically stops the pump motor
when a preset, customer adjustable volume has been reached. The meter is factory calibrated and displays information on an LCD display. In
addition, the meter can be field calibrated to improve accuracy at a given flow rate. One lithium battery powers the unit.
FMBC-3000 is a rate/totalizer meter with batch control – designed to measure and display both the rate of flow and the total flow. In addition,
it stops the pump motor when a preset liquid volume has been pumped.
