IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
This analyzer is compliant with safety standards as outlined in:
FMRC Class Numbers 3600, 3611, and 3810 (U.S.A.)
CSA C22.2 No. 142 and C22.2 No. 213 (Canada)
EN 61010-1 (European Community)
Please read and observe the following:
•Opening the analyzer door exposes you to line power voltage, if present, at terminals on TB2 and TB3
inside the enclosure. This may be hazardous. Always remove line power before entering this area in
the analyzer. However, the analyzer door assembly contains only low voltage and is completely safe
to handle.
•Wiring or repairs should only be performed by qualified personnel and only to an unpowered analyzer.
•Whenever it appears that analyzer safety is questionable, disable the analyzer to ensure against any
unintended operation. For example, an unsafe condition is likely when:
1) The analyzer appears visibly damaged.
2) The analyzer fails to operate properly or provide the intended measurements.
3) The analyzer has been stored for long periods at temperatures above 158°F (70°C).
•This analyzer must be installed by personnel specially trained in accordance with relevant local codes
and instructions contained in this operating instruction manual. Observe the analyzer’s technical
specifications and input ratings. If one line of the line power mains is not neutral, use a double-pole
mains switch to disconnect the analyzer.

CONDENSED OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
This manual contains details for all operating aspects of the instrument. The following condensed in-
structions are provided to assist you in getting the instrument started up and operating as quickly as
possible. These condensed instructions are only for basic operation using a GLI impeller flow
sensor. To obtain a calculated measurement, use a non-GLI flow sensor or specific features of the in-
strument, refer to the appropriate sections in this manual for instructions.
A. CONNECTING SENSOR(S)
After properly mounting the analyzer (PART TWO, Section 2), connect up to four GLI impeller flow
sensor(s), matching wire colors to terminals as indicated:
Sensor A Wire Colors Connect To Sensor C Wire Colors Connect To
Red Terminal #10 on TB1 Red Terminal #14 on TB1
Black Terminal #11 on TB1 Black Terminal #15 on TB1
Cable shield Grounding strip lug Cable shield Grounding strip lug
Sensor B Wire Colors Connect To Sensor D Wire Colors Connect To
Red Terminal #12 on TB1 Red Terminal #16 on TB1
Black Terminal #13 on TB1 Black Terminal #17 on TB1
Cable shield Grounding strip lug Cable shield Grounding strip lug
B. CONNECTING LINE POWER
Important: Follow instructions in PART TWO, Section 3.5 to connect line power to the analyzer.
C. ADJUSTING DISPLAY CONTRAST
Ambient lighting conditions may make it necessary to adjust display contrast to improve visibility.
With the MEASURE screen displayed, press and hold the ENTER key and simultaneously press the
×

The following flow rate and volume readout instructions configure Sensor A.
Set up other sensors in the same way using their respective menu screens.
D. SETTING FLOW RATE READOUT (multiplier, decimal, and measurement unit annunciator)
Displayed flow rates are always shown with a user-set multiplier. Select measured flow rates to
be whole numbers or decimals (XXX.X or XX.XX), and choose the measurement unit annunciators.

E. SETTING VOLUME READOUT (volume unit annunciator and totalizer reset mode)
Unlike flow rate, volume is shown only as a whole number without a multiplier. Choose from a
variety of volume measurement unit annunciators. The totalizer is factory-set for auto reset, which
resets the displayed volume to zero after reaching its maximum limit. After automatically resetting,
the totalizer starts a new count. Conversely, the totalizer can be set to a manual reset mode to pre-
serve the total volume. In the manual reset mode, the totalizer can be manually reset back to zero at
any time by using the “RESET VOL”function in the TEST/MAINT menu.

CONDENSED OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
F. SELECTING SENSOR TYPE/ENTERING SENSOR DATA (calibration)
To configure/calibrate the analyzer so that measured values will accurately represent actual values,
you must select the sensor type and enter specific sensor-related data. This is a normal part of the
initial setup. The data you enter depends on the sensor being used:
•GLI sensor mounted in tee: Enter the TEE SIZE and TEE MATERIAL.
•GLI sensor mounted in pipe (using weldolet, pipe saddle or ball valve assembly): Enter
the inside diameter of the pipe (SET PIPE ID).
•Non-GLI sensor (any mounting): Enter a slope value (SET SLOPE) and an offset value (SET
OFFSET).
After entering appropriate sensor data, the analyzer is calibrated. Anytime thereafter, you can line-
arly offset measured flow readings by using the CALIBRATE menu. Calibration adjustment should
only be considered when analyzer readings need to match a user-supplied “qualified refer-
ence” flow instrument. See PART THREE, Sections 5.1 and 5.2 for complete adjustment details.
NOTE: The following configuration/calibration procedure is only for Sensor A and only for
GLI sensors. Configure/calibrate other sensors in the same way using their respective menu
screens. (To enter specific data for non-GLI sensors, see PART THREE, Section 4.2, sub-
section “SET SENSOR Data”under the “Non-GLI Sensor Setup”category.)
1. With the screen displayed, use
Ø
Ø
key to select the “SELECT SENSOR”line,
and press ENTER key to display a screen like . Use
Ø
Ø
and
×
×
keys to select
the type of GLI sensor and mounting arrangement you are using:
•GLI PIPE MOUNT--------for sensor mounted in pipe using weldolet, pipe saddle or ball valve
•GLI POLYPROP/T -------for polypropylene sensor mounted in tee
•GLI PVDF/T ---------------for PVDF sensor mounted in tee
•GLI 316SS/T --------------for stainless steel-sleeved sensor with 2-inch NPT hex adapter mounted in tee
•GLI BRASS/T -------------for brass-sleeved sensor with 2-inch NPT hex adapter mounted in tee)
2. With the appropriate choice displayed, press ENTER key to enter this selection.
3. After the “SENSOR A”screen re-appears, use
Ø
Ø
key to select the “SET SENSOR”line. De-
pending on the selected sensor, pressing ENTER key displays:
when “GLI POLYPROP/T,”“PVDF/T,”“316SS/T”or “BRASS/T”was selected.
when “GLI PIPE MOUNT”was selected.

ure Sensor A flow/volume.
GLI Pipe Mount Sensor Setup (SET PIPE ID)
A. Determine actual inside pipe diameter. Actually measure it or refer to an appropriate table.
NOTE: Pipe IDs for commonly-used Schedule 40 and Schedule 80 pipes are listed in Ta-
bles A and B in PART THREE, Section 4.2 under the “SET SENSOR Data”
subheading.
B. With the “SET SENSOR”screen displayed, use
Ø
Ø
key to select the “SET PIPE ID”line and
press ENTER key to display a screen like .
C. Adjust the displayed value to exactly match the actual pipe ID (inside diameter). Starting with
the extreme right blinking digit, use
Ø
Ø
and
×
×
keys to adjust its value. (The longer the key is
pressed, the faster the value changes.) Then press
Õ
Õ
key once to select the next digit, and
use the
Ø
Ø
and
×
×
keys to adjust its value. Repeat this procedure until desired value is dis-
played, and press ENTER key to enter it.
This completes GLI pipe mount sensor data entry/calibration. The analyzer is now ready to measure
Sensor A flow/volume.
