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 operaon will void the war‐
ranty.
 Check for damaged parts before operang the meter. Any damaged part should be
properly repaired or replaced by trained personnel. Do not operate the meter if any com‐
ponent does not appear to be funconing correctly. Contact Eastern Instruments for assis‐
tance or for repair components.
 Use the appropriate Personal Protecon Equipment as required for operang the meter
within its installaon locaon.
 The various surfaces of the CentriFlow Meter module may have sharp edges and have the
potenal to cause injury. Use the proper protecon 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
mes except during installaon or service. At those mes, only authorized personnel
should have access to the electronics panel. When power is acvated, AC voltage may be
present throughout the panel. Therefore extreme cauon is required.
 DO NOT modify or alter this equipment in any way. If modificaons are necessary, all
such requests must be handled by Eastern Instruments. Any modificaon or alteraon
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 me.
 Avoid entering or placing body parts within the meter’s enclosure.
 Do not operate without proper training
 Always wear proper PPE
 NEVER service the meter while power is connected.

SOME OR ALL OF THESE WARNINGS MAY BE ON YOUR METER. BE AWARE OF THE POSSIBLE
DANGERS PRESENT.
SAFETY PLACARDS
ELECTRICAL SERVICE
Electrical shock or electrocuon is possible when servicing the
electronics of any Eastern Instruments equipment. Be sure to
disconnect power before conducng any repairs on the elec‐
tronics.
PRODUCT FLOW
The Control Valve for the CentriFeeder is used only as a control
valve and does not act as an isolaon valve. A secondary isola‐
on valve is recommended to be installed before the Cen‐
triFeeder’s control valve in order to isolate the CentriFeeder
from flow during maintenance or repairs.
PINCH POINTS
The control valve of the CentriFeeder can cause serious injury
or amputaon. Keep hands clear of the control valve at all
mes.
LIVE ELECTRICITY
Live electrical wires may be present. Please note that coming
into contact with the live wires (AC Power) could cause electri‐
cal shock or electrocuon.
MOVING BLADE
WILL CAUSE
SERIOUS INJURY OR
AMPUTATION
This is a control valve, not
an isolang valve. An
isolang valve should be
installed BEFORE this
control valve.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
 The meter is to be used in a locaon where the product can be dropped from a fixed
height such as a conveyer, or any type of feed system, which will give a reasonably
constant inial vercal velocity. The design of the meter requires the product to contact
the Tangenal Plate and have some vercal drop.
 The meter should be installed so that it is level in two planes. Use the Bubble Level on top
of the Seal Top to help (this is not applicable for meters that are installed at a 10° or 20°
angle) .
 The meter should be mounted using the mount holes only. The mounng method should
minimize vibraon and any movement. With a Type II Configuraon mounng should not
be done using the flange.
 Guides to reduce product stream to the meter Pan width are required if the conveyer/
feed system is wider than the meter Pan. Conversely, if the conveyer/feed system is con‐
siderably less than the width of the meter Pan, a spreader is required to widen the product
stream to the width of the meter Pan.
 The discharge chute that the product stream empes into aer traveling through the
meter must be free flowing, meaning that it does not allow product to build up and
consequently contact the Pan of the meter.
 The Electronics Enclosure should be wired using only the factory cable. There is a standard
50’ Remote Electronics Cable supplied with the CentriFlow® Meter. The Electronics Cable
should be cut to the exact length required. Do not coil the cable.
 It is required that the Remote Electronics Cable be run through grounded metallic conduit
connected on the side of the module and the boom of the Electronics Enclosure. This
Cable MUST be in a separate conduit than that of the AC Power or 24 Vdc Power supplied
to the Electronics Enclosure. This is noted both in this manual and on the Enclosure itself.
INSTALLATION TROUBLE AREAS
 The CentriFlow® Meter’s 4‐20mA signal (sourced) is self‐powered and does not require any
addional voltage.
 DO NOT RUN 480V, 240V, 120V, AND SIGNAL LINES IN THE SAME CONDUIT. The power
and signal lines should be separate from each other and from all other devices. Running
any other power or signal lines in the same conduit could affect the performance of your
meter. Isolate both power and signal lines from each other at all mes.
 The CentriFlow® Meter is balanced at a specific angle and should not be subject to
vibraon or movement. The mass of the mount should be at least 2 mes the mass of the
meter .
 The Seal Top should be on the meter at all mes that you are not working inside the meter.
This is to keep all foreign materials out of the meter that could obstruct its movement or
impair its funconality.

To power on your digital electronics, open the Digital Electronics Enclosure and close the Cir‐
cuit Breakers on the VAC Power wiring connecons as shown below.
Close the Digital Electronics Enclosure. The HMI should now be coming on. Upon startup, the
HMI will display the Main Menu Screen, also called TOP, as shown below. In the lower right
corner below the touch screen you will also noce the three LED display which indicates
whether a Flash Card is installed and if you have any alarms currently acvated.
