Meter General Description
The Max 210 Series Flow Meters are positive displacement
piston type units capable of great accuracy over a wide range
of ow rates and uid viscosities. The four basic sizes of this
series (213, 214, 215, 216) will measure ows from 1 cc/min
to 25 gal/min. Various “O” ring and internal plating options
are available to meet temperature and uid compatibility
requirements.
In a piston type ow meter, four pistons and cylinders are
arranged in a radial fashion around a central crankshaft.
Two uid ports on the cylinder wall, a port at the top of the
cylinder, and a grooved piston enable uid entering the ow
meter’s central cavity to be measured and pumped out by each piston in turn. The valving action for each cylinder is
accomplished by the piston adjacent to it. The accuracy of a piston ow meter is dependent on close tolerances in the
cylinder wall and piston. Max Machinery regularly holds tolerances as ne as 0.00005 inches in the production of these
meters.
The movement of the pistons is converted to a circular motion at the
central crankshaft, which is coupled to a magnet in the ow meter. This
motion is sensed by an external electronic transmitter, which converts
ow into a voltage, pulse train, or current for further processing.
The Max Series 210 Meter can be expected to perform superbly if
operated within the connes of its design envelope. For this reason,
it is important to read this manual and understand the operational
requirements and limits of the meter. Our Technical Service staff will be
happy to answer any questions that this manual does not cover.

Transmitter General Description
Max transmitters are designed to work with the entire family of Max Flow Meters to provide extremely precise ow
measurement in a cost effective package. Different options of industrial housings or IP66 rated explosion proof
enclosures, combined with a choice of one-part and two-part, high temperature designs with remote electronics cover a
wide range of application environments – from the laboratory to harsh industrial processes.
This latest generation of transmitters use modern sensor technology coupled with advanced signal processing to deliver
high levels of performance and reliability. Hall sensors are used to detect the position of a driven magnet inside a Max
Flow Meter. Changes in position are tracked by a microprocessor, which generates an output proportional to the ow
rate. Advanced signal processing provides both ne angular resolution (0.36 degrees rotation) and rapid response
(output updated every one millisecond).
Max transmitters are typically mated to a mechanical ow meter, congured, and calibrated at the factory as a set.
This ensures accuracy and allows quick setup in the eld. For eld installations where the transmitter has not been set
up with a meter at the factory, an optional serial interface kit may be purchased to give full access to conguration
options
and parameters.
Transmitter Features
High resolution measurement –
Analog Output: Congured output ranges to any value within ±10 Vdc or ± 20 mA.
Frequency Output: Congured output resolution of 1 to 1000 pulses per revolution.
Linearization of up to 16 points to fully describe the ow meter’s output curve and achieve the highest system
linearity over the meter’s entire operating range.
Compensation Algorithm – Compensates for variations in Hall sensor and ow meter characteristics to provide a stable,
undamped output that accurately represents the instantaneous ow rate. This feature is factory set when the meter
and transmitter are mated together. If the transmitter is changed, the compensation can be performed via a button on
the circuit board.
Anti-Dither Buffer - Masks the false output that may occur at very low ow rates in the presence of vibration or hydraulic
noise. If the meter reverses direction the output signal will be interrupted for a user selected portion of a meter rotation.
Reverse ow exceeding the buffer setting will result in an output proportional to reverse ow rate. The buffer quantity
can be set from 1% to 100% of a revolution.

DO:
Install bypass plumbing around the ow meter. This is
useful during start up for removing dirt and air from
the plumbing or when measuring uid that may freeze
inside the line and need to be remelted before it can
pass through the meter. It also allows removing the
ow
meter for service without disabling the system.
DO:
Be very careful to keep parts clean during installation
or teardown. A little dirt can look like a truckload
compared to the 10 micron ltration requirement for
series 210 Meters.
DO:
Clean the lter on a regular basis.
DON’T:
Run water or aqueous solutions not approved by Max
through your ow meter because of internal galling.
DON’T:
Steam clean the meter (bypass or remove the meter if
necessary).
DON’T:
Blow down the meter with compressed air or gas
because it may over-speed and damage the meter.
DON’T:
Remove the Transmitter from the ow meter body.
The transmitter is phased to the meter and a
measurement error will result. Re-calibration will be
necessary; see the transmitter interface software
manual.
DON’T:
Disassemble the ow meter. These are precision
devices which require special tools and techniques.
DON’T:
Turn on the pump in a system lled with material that
is solid at room temperature. Wait until the material
is completely melted and use the ow meter bypass
valve during start up.
DON’T:
Apply excessive differential pressure across the ow
meter as it will cause internal failure (see the pressure
drop curves for safe area operation).
DON’T:
Over pressurize the meter. Maximum pressure is either
1,000 PSI (70 bar) 3,000 PSI (210 bar) or 7250 PSI
(500 bar) depending on model purchased.
DON’T:
Exceed the maximum ow rates for the material
viscosity.
DON’T:
Allow materials which solidify in air to set up in the
ow meter. These may be impossible to remove. If
the meter needs to be removed for repair and cannot
be completely cleaned. Plug the inlet and outlet ports
at once.
Do’s & Don’ts

Max Machinery, Inc. 210 Series User Manual © Copyright 2013 Rev. 002Q4 10
Installation
For optimum performance, install the ow meter in one of the congurations shown below. The following items and
conditions should be considered:
Line and Bypass Valves: These valves allow lter cleaning or ow meter removal without completely shutting the system
down and draining the lines. They also allow system start up under conditions which could damage the meter; such as:
air in the lines, high temperature materials, or initial line surges.
Filtration: Clearances between the ow meter piston and cylinder wall are typically 0.0002” to 0.0004”. Any dirt
present in the system can jam or damage the unit. A 10 micron lter (such as a Max 381 Series stainless steel unit) is
generally recommended, although materials with very high viscosities may require a coarser lter. For bidirectional ow
applications, use a lter on each side of the ow meter. Materials with brous or non abrasive particulate matter may
have to be run without lters. Follow the recommendation of your Max Sales Engineer or consult our Technical Service
Department.
Inlet and Outlet Ports: Use the “IN” port as the inlet for the most predominant ow direction. Install the ow meter on
the discharge side of the pump whenever possible. Excessive vibration at the meter should be avoided.
High Temperatures: Use the “Vertical Installation” drawing. This minimizes heat transfer by convection from the ow
meter to the transmitter. The transmitter is the most heat sensitive element in the system and the transmitter manual
should be consulted for specic limits. An optional uid heater block can be used on the ow meter to keep it at
operating temperature during standby conditions. For substances that are solid at room temperature, the block may be
required to keep the material molten and owing through the meter.
Clean Plumbing: Before installing the ow meter, clean the inside of the pipe line with compressed air or steam
(especially when using new pipe). Don’t use water, steam, or compressed air on the meter itself!

Determine that the following parameters of your ow metering system are within the specications for the specic 210
Series Meter being used:
Maximum System Pressure (Specications)
Differential Pressure across meter (Pressure Drop Curves)
Maximum Flow Rate (Pressure Drop Curves)
Metered Fluid Temperature (Sales specication, transmitter specications page 7)
If the metered uid is greater than 80°F (28°C) over ambient, see the “High Temperature Start Up” section below.
With valves (#1) and (#2) closed, slowly open valve (#3) (bypass) to clear the lines of foreign particles and air.
Slowly open the inlet valve (#1). Slowly open the outlet valve (#2). Completely close the bypass valve.
No routine maintenance, cleaning, or lubrication of the ow meter is required. A routine lter cleaning schedule should
be established. The system should be shut down if abnormal noises occur or if unusual differential pressures across the
meter are encountered.
High Temperature Start Up: For uids above 150°F (82°C) based on 70°F ambient, a special procedure is required to
prevent thermal shock and permanent damage to the ow meter. The warm up time is determined by the equation
below:
TIME (minutes) = connector size (inches) x (operating temperature (°F)-125)
10
— OR —
TIME (minutes) = connector size (inches) x (operating temperature (°C)-52)
10
Valves (#1) and (#2) must be closed. Open the bypass valve (#3) in gradual steps until the bypass piping is stabilized at
operating temperature. Open valve (#1) slightly and allow the temperature to stabilize around the ow meter. Valve (#1)
can then be opened completely.
Open valve (#2) slightly. The ow meter may make unusual noises or bind at this point. Leave the valve at this setting
until normal meter operation occurs, at which point valve (#2) can be gradually opened all the way. Slowly close the
bypass valve (#3).

WARNING
Installation and removal should only be facilitated by trained personnel
Verify transmitter output type (ANALOG or FREQUENCY) before wiring, inappropriate wiring could
result in damaging the circuit.
Removal note: The transmitter does not need to be removed from the ow meter for any eld servicing or adjustments.
Normally, the ow meter and transmitter are shipped back to the factory for calibration or service as a unit. If the
transmitter needs to be removed from the ow meter for installation, be sure to retighten the transmitter snugly in
order to ensure proper sensor alignment.
Mechanical Installation
1. The transmitter is attached to the ow meter’s threaded magnet shield. Hand tighten only. (~ 3 ft-lb)
2. The transmitter lid has four thread paths. To realign the cable, remove the lid and rotate up to 180° and retighten
using an alternate starting point. Tighten to compress the O-ring seal.
Removal
1. Remove electrical connections
2. Unscrew transmitter, using a wrench if necessary.
Moisture Seal Protection
On all models, the housing is designed as a liquid and vapor-tight enclosure. There are O—ring seals at the lid and
possibly also the base of the housing — these need to be fully seated. A properly sealed transmitter will prevent the
formation of damaging moisture inside the housing.
Turck connector Model: The connector is sealed to the lid at the factory and is ready for use.
NPT Model: To ensure a moisture-tight seal, apply appropriate sealant to the threads at installation.
Wiring ANALOG
The electrical connector versions are pre-wired inside the transmitter and ready to accept a mating cable (available from
the factory). The liquid-tight, NPT models need to be wired during installation as shown in the table below:
*Model 29X-xxx-000, 24vdc powered, Model 29X-xxx-100, 12vdc powered
** Signal output is fully isolated: If attached to a true differential input a 10K Ohm pulldown resistor
should be installed between (—) and common at the receiving end.

Heat meter to melt material
Remove plumbing base, inspect crankshaft and piston
rods for damage. If intact ush the inside of the meter
and try to work pistons free by rocking the crankshaft
back and forth gently with a small rod or retracted pen
If you nd damaged parts in the meter, return the
meter to the factory for repair
Fluid is passing through the meter, but there is no indication of ow
Improper hook-up of transmitter
Meter not turning
Verify that DC power is present at the PCA. Use a multi-
meter to measure the transmitter output independent
of the display or PLC
Remove transmitter from meter and place a paper clip
against the magnet shield. Clip should be drawn to
magnet inside of the meter and move with the meter’s
rotation
Indicated ow does not agree with expected readings
Air in the line
Indicator not calibrated properly
Excessive reverse ow in system
Air bubbles displace the meter just as a liquid would. If
you are over-reporting, verify that there is no air in the
lines.
Verify the K-Factor for the meter in use and compare
this value to the setting used in the display.
Max transmitters have anti-dither functions which can
buffer up to 1 revolution of reverse ow. An incorrect
ow total can be reported if the pumping causes a
ow and ebb of greater than 1 meter revolution.
