PLEASEREADBEFOREOPERATINGTHECENTRIFLOWMETER
 OnlyauthorizedpersonnelshouldoperatetheCentriFlowMeter.Untrainedpersonnel
presentahazardtothemselvesandthemeterandimproperoperationwillvoidthewar‐
ranty.
 Checkfordamagedpartsbeforeoperatingthemeter.Anydamagedpartshouldbeprop‐
erlyrepairedorreplacedbytrainedpersonnel.Donotoperatethemeterifanycompo‐
nentdoesnotappeartobefunctioningcorrectly.ContactEasternInstrumentsforassis‐
tanceorforrepaircomponents.
 UsetheappropriatePersonalProtectionEquipmentasrequiredforoperatingthemeter
withinitsinstallationlocation.
 ThevarioussurfacesoftheCentriFlowMetermodulemayhavesharpedgesandhavethe
potentialtocauseinjury.Usetheproperprotectionforyourhandswhenservicingor
maintainingyourCentriFlowMeter
 Theelectricalpanel(digitalelectronics)shouldbeclosedandthesafetylatchengagedatall
timesexceptduringinstallationorservice.Atthosetimes,onlyauthorizedpersonnel
shouldhaveaccesstotheelectronicspanel.Whenpowerisactivated,ACvoltagemaybe
presentthroughoutthepanel.Thereforeextremecautionisrequired.

 DONOTmodifyoralterthisequipmentinanyway.Ifmodificationsarenecessary,all
suchrequestsmustbehandledbyEasternInstruments.Anymodificationoralteration
ofanyEasternInstrumentsequipmentcouldleadtopersonalinjuryand/ormechanical
damageandwillvoidthewarranty.
 OncepowerhasbeensuppliedtotheCentriFlowMeter,itisalways
onandproductmayrunthroughitatanytime.
 Avoidenteringorplacingbodypartswithinthemeter’senclosure.
 Donotoperatewithoutpropertraining
 AlwayswearproperPPE

TheCentriFlow®MeterElectronicsiscapableofoutputtingananalogsignal.Thissignalisa4‐
20mAinstantaneousisolatedsignal.ThesignaloutputisproportionaltotheElectronicFull
ScaleFlowRate.Forexample,iftheElectronicFullScaleFlowRatewerecalibratedtobe300

theElectronicFullScaleFlowRateanychangeinCalibrationtochangetheElectronicFullScale
FlowRatewouldresultinachangeinthesignalsoastoretaintheproportionality.Thus,ifthe
ElectronicFullScaleFlowRatewerechangedfrom300lb./minto500lb./min,thena20mA
