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.

4.0 HOW TO INSTALL THE F-1000
4.1 MOUNTING LOCATION
Although the F-1000 is designed to withstand outdoor conditions, a cool, dry
location where the unit can be easily serviced is recommended. The life of the LCD
display will be severely reduced when installed in direct sunlight. Do not install the
meter so that the LCD is in direct sunlight.
!The F-1000 can be mounted on horizontal or vertical runs of pipe (see figure 4, 5
and 6). Mounting anywhere around the diameter of vertical pipe is acceptable,
however, the pipe must be completely full of water at all times. Back pressure is
essential on downward flows.
!The F-1000 accuracy is affected by disturbances such as pumps, elbows, tees,
valves in the flow stream. Install the meter in a straight run of pipe as far as
possible from any disturbances. The distance required for accuracy will depend
on the type of disturbance.
!The pipe must be completely full at all times. Air bubbles or air pockets in
the flow stream will adversely affect the reading. A small amount of back
pressure is recommended in horizontal runs of pipe.
!The F-1000 is powered by two AAA batteries. Life expectancy is one
year minimum.
