General Description
Specifically designed for water billing applications, Omega FTB-4000 and FTB-5000 Series Flow meters are highly accurate
and feature tamper-resistant, non-resettable totalizers. The large faces are easy to read and are fully
rotatable for simplified mounting. FTB-4605 and FTB-4607 have no local indication of the flow rate or total.
Optional reed relay scaled pulse outputs allow for remote totalization (6 feet of cable included). For the FTB-4000 Series, the
pulse output is factory installed and must be requested at the time of order.
The FTB-5000 Series units feature field installation of the reed relay or optical pickup pulse outputs. The optical pickup is used
for use with flow rate frequency meters to provide remote rate indication (user DC power input required). FTB-5000 units are
supplied standard with one reed relay for remote totalization; a second relay is optional.
All FTB flow meters feature built-in strainers and are shipped complete with locking nuts, gaskets and coupling pieces.
The units have a built-in flow finder which registers even a small trickle of water passing through the meter.
WARNING
THESE WATER FLOW METERS HAVE PLASTIC INTERNAL PARTS THAT ARE RAPIDLY ATTACKED BY
HYDROCARBON FLUIDS, SUCH AS GASOLINE, DIESEL FUEL, KEROSENE, AND SIMILAR MATERIALS. EVEN TRACE
AMOUNTS OF THESE MATERIALS IN WATER WILL TEND TO ACCUMULATE IN THE PLASTIC PARTS LEADING TO
COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE FLOW METER. NOTE: WATER AND ETHYLENE GLYCOL MIXTURES TYPICALLY PRESENT NO
PROBLEM WHEN USED WITH THESE WATER FLOWMETERS.
UNPACKING
Remove the packing list and verify that all equipment has been received. If there are any questions about the shipment, please
