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.

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-

The analyzer has four sensor inputs to independently measure
up to four flow rates/volumes. Each input can accept:
•Any GLI IMPELLER flow sensor
•A NON-GLI SENSOR with a 0-2000 Hz. output
(paddle wheel, turbine, vortex, etc.). However, its
slope and offset values must be determined and
entered to calibrate the analyzer.
Depending on the number of sensors used, the MEASURE
screen (normal display mode) can show up to 8 separate
sensor readouts, 8 combined data readouts, and a calcu-
lated value (if configured) by pressing

Passcode-protected
Access
Calibration
Analog Outputs
For security, you can enable a passcode feature to restrict ac-
cess to configuration and calibration settings to authorized
personnel only. See PART THREE, Section 4.7 for details.
Calibration is actually achieved by independently configur-
ing each sensor, which is a normal part of the initial setup.
First, select the type of sensor being used:
•GLI PIPE MOUNT -------for sensor mounted in pipe using weldolet, pipe
saddle or ball valve assembly
•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
•NON-GLI Sensor---------for sensor with 0-2000 Hz. output (any mounting)
For GLI PIPE MOUNT, enter the internal diameter of the
pipe in which the sensor will be installed. When using a GLI
tee-mounted sensor, enter the tee size and tee material. For
a NON-GLI SENSOR, determine and enter appropriate
SLOPE and OFFSET values.
The CALIBRATE menu enables you to linearly offset meas-
ured flow readings one of two ways by using the:
•OFFSET BY method to enter a “+”or “-”offset value.
•SET TO method to enter a known measured value.
See PART THREE, Sections 5.1 and 5.2 for details. Also,
the mA values for each analog output can be calibrated
(Section 5.3).
The analyzer provides two isolated analog outputs (1 and
2). Each output can be set to be 0-20 mA or 4-20 mA, and
assigned to represent one of these measurements:
•Sensor A flow rate •Sensor B volume
•Sensor B flow rate •Sensor C volume
•Sensor C flow rate •Sensor D volume
•Sensor D flow rate •Calculated measurement*
•Sensor A volume
*An analog output can only represent the calculated measurement when two sensors
are used and the analyzer has been correctly configured for CALCULATION.
Parameter (or calculated measurement) values can be en-
tered to define the endpoints at which the minimum and
maximum analog output values are desired. For analog out-
put setup details, refer to PART THREE, Section 4.4.

Relays
☞
Pulsed Outputs
1.2 Modular Construction
The analyzer has four electromechanical relays with SPDT
contacts. Each relay can be set to function as a CONTROL,
ALARM or STATUS relay. CONTROL and ALARM relays
can be assigned to be driven by one of these:
•Sensor A flow rate •Sensor B volume
•Sensor B flow rate •Sensor C volume
•Sensor C flow rate •Sensor D volume
•Sensor D flow rate •Calculated measurement*
•Sensor A volume
*A relay can only be driven by the calculated measurement when two sensors
are used and the analyzer has been correctly configured for CALCULATION.
NOTE: When a relay is set to function as a STATUS relay,
it is no longer configurable. Instead, it becomes a
dedicated system diagnostic-only alarm relay that
automatically energizes when the “WARNING
CHECK STATUS”message flashes on the
MEASURE screen. This occurs when the analyzer
detects a “fail”diagnostic condition. See PART
THREE, Section 6.1 for more details.
For relay setup details, refer to PART THREE, Section 4.5.
The analyzer provides two SPDT pulsed contact closure
outputs (A and B) for remote use such as counting or
pumping. Each pulsed output can be assigned to represent
any measured volume, and set to activate at a desired vol-
ume increment for a preset time duration. Refer to PART
THREE, Section 4.6 for setup details.
The modular construction of the analyzer simplifies field
servicing and provides electrical safety. The front door/
keypad assembly uses voltages no greater than 24 VDC,
and is completely safe to handle.
Opening the analyzer door accesses terminals inside the
enclosure for electrical connections. Line power must be
connected to specifically designated terminals on TB3.
WARNING:
REMOVE LINE POWER BEFORE NEARING THIS AREA
TO PREVENT ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
