OPERATION
FV100 is an inline flow meter that utilizes the vortex shedding principle. The fluid strikes a bluff body
generating vortices (eddies) that move downstream. The vortices form alternately, from one side to the
other. A piezoelectric sensor housed in a sensor tube directly downstream of the bluff senses the pressure
zones created by the vortices. The sensor generates a frequency directly proportional to the vortices
(flow). The pulses are then amplified by the circuit board and converted to a 4-20 mAoutput, which is
also linear with flow. Flow can be displayed on the LED display in either GPM or LPM. Selection of the
preferred units of measure is made from two white front panel push buttons. There is also a solid state
relay output that can be set for a low flow contact from 15% to 90% of full-scale flow. The relay can be
configured to be NC (normally closed) or NO (normally open) at flow (above set point). It will change
state on decreasing flow upon reaching the setpoint.
FV100-T meters combine temperature measurement with the flow measuring features of FV100 Series.
The housing utilizes a temperature sensor housed in a small thermowell directly downstream of the flow
sensor. FV100-T meters display temperature or flow on the LED display. Temperature can be displayed
in either degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius and is selectable from the two white front panel buttons. There is
a 4-20 mA output proportional to temperature and a solid state relay that can be configured for a high
temperature set point. The relay function will be the same as selected for flow, normally closed or
normally open, below set point, since it is a high alarm. So, you have two transmitters in one - flow and
temperature.
APPLICATIONS
FV100/FV100-T can be used on low viscosity clean or dirty water-like liquids that are compatible with
brass, PVDF & Viton. Metered fluids should not include long fibers or a significant level of abrasive
solids. Bluffs are replaceable, as are the sensors, should abrasive wear occur over time. Typical applica-
tions will be for cooling loops using water, 50% solutions of glycols, and water soluble machine coolant
(up to 10%). These applications are found in most process industries, including rubber, steel, fabrication,
manufacturing, refining, paper, chemical, food, petrochemical and power. They cannot be used on
flammable liquids or gases including air.
NOTE: If this equipment is used in any manner not specified herein, the protection provided by the
equipment may be impaired.
Cleaning: These meters do not require any special cleaning of the external surfaces. If cleaning is
desired, do not use any strong solvents, detergents, or chemicals. Brushing away accumulations of dirt
or wiping with a cloth and water is suggested.

USING THIS MANUAL
To use this manual, you will require the model code, which can be found on the nameplate of the meter,
as shown on the example below. See page 10 for “Model Codes.” The Model Code will allow you to
determine the minimum & maximum flow capabilities for each as well as related pressure drops.
All FV100 or FV100-T meters are equal in terms of features and functions. The only difference is the
flow capacity of the various sizes.

FEATURES: FV100-T Series
INSTALLATION
There are no upstream or downstream piping requirements to achieve the operating specifications given
herein. The meters may be installed in any position as long as good piping installation requirements are
adhered to for best results. This includes proper support of adjacent piping to minimize inherent vibra-
tions produced within the system. Unions of the same pipe size and full port isolation ball valves may be
installed for ease of removal and servicing of equipment, if required. Meters should be placed in hori-
zontal, slightly ascending runs or vertical runs to prevent entrained air from accumulating in the
meter. They should not be placed at the highest point in the piping for this same reason. Piping system
should be filled slowly to prevent water hammer from damaging sensor. The meter sensor can also be
damaged by reverse flow.
Isolation ball valves, when used, should be in the full open position. Throttling valves should always be
placed downstream of the meter, a minimum of 10 pipe diameters downstream.
Teflon®tape or pipe sealant can be used in mounting the meter to the piping when using good technique.
Teflon®tape, if not applied properly to the connecting piping, can become caught on the bluff and affect
the flow measurement.
Use of diaphragm or piston pumps will affect metering performance, unless they are installed with a
properly sized pulsation dampener and pressure control valve, to minimize pulsating flow. The piping
system must create some backpressure on the meter to allow vortex formation and to prevent cavitation,
especially at full flow. Minimum required back pressure is 10 PSIG at max flow and 70°F (21°C).
Higher back pressures are required at elevated temperatures and occasional surges to 125% of max flow.
This situation will not be encountered in most installations. If while increasing the flow, the signal or
displayed flow appears to drop off, but reappears when flow is reduced, contact OMEGAto determine
back pressure requirements to extend the flow range to the capacity of the meter.

noise. If this poses a problem with your control wiring, please contact UFM for an alternative
solution.

CONFIGURATION (Setup)
FV100 comes pre-calibrated and pre-configured in Gallons Per Minute, with the Solid State Relay set
for 0 flow, which inactivates the relay. To change the engineering units displayed to LPM, reset the solid
state relay for a minimum flow condition, or change the relay function (nc-normally closed or no-
normally open) requires a simple reconfiguration. By powering up the meter, it can be reconfigured or
checked at the bench or installed position.
To configure the FV100 display for GPM or LPM, press the SET button so that the LED next to the
desired engineering unit is lit. To configure the set point, or alarm function, hold the MENU button
down until the display indicates “flo”, then “AL”, then release it. The LED display will indicate zeros or
a set point. Change the setting, by pressing the MENU button. Each time it is pressed, it will step the set
point upwards, holding it down will ramp the set point up quickly until the desired set point is ap-
proached, then pressing discreetly will step it up to the desired setting. At the highest setting for each
meter capacity, it will roll over to 0. Then as the MENU button is pressed it will step or ramp up if held
down. Once the desired set point is displayed, use the SET button to enter the value.
If no set point is required, then select 0 with the SET button - this will inactivate the relay, as well as the
local LED indicator, which flashes on reaching the set point. The two LED indicators that are adjacent to
GPM & LPM flash when the flow drops to or below the set point. If GPM has been selected, it will
remain on solid and the LPM indicator will flash. The opposite occurs when LPM is the selected unit of
measure displayed.
