Ukusetha nokufaka
The TM10NQ9GMA model features 1-inch Female NPT fittings for straightforward integration into your piping system. Proper installation is crucial for accurate readings and long-term performance.
Izinyathelo zokufaka:
- Prepare the Piping: Ensure the pipe section where the meter will be installed is clean and free of debris. The meter requires a straight run of pipe before and after for optimal accuracy.
- Orient the Meter: Observe the flow direction arrow on the meter body. Install the meter so that the arrow aligns with the direction of liquid flow in your system.
- Connect Fittings: Apply appropriate thread sealant (e.g., PTFE tape or pipe dope) to the 1-inch Male NPT threads of your piping. Carefully thread the meter onto the pipe fittings. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the PVC housing.
- Hlola Ukuvuza: Slowly pressurize the system and inspect all connections for leaks. Tighten as necessary.

Khombisa Imisebenzi:
- Isilinganiso sokugeleza: Shows the instantaneous flow rate of the liquid.
- Ingqikithi yenani: Displays the cumulative total volume of liquid that has passed through the meter since its initial installation. This total is non-resettable.
- Ingqikithi Engasetha kabusha: Displays a total volume that can be reset for batching or specific measurement periods.
Imisebenzi Yenkinobho:
- RATE Button: Press to cycle through display modes, typically showing flow rate.
- TOTAL Button: Press to cycle through totalizer modes (Grand Total, Resettable Total). Hold to reset the Resettable Total.
Ukushintsha amayunithi:
The meter supports Gallons, Liters, and Cubic Feet. Refer to the detailed programming instructions in the full product manual (if available) for specific steps on how to change the displayed units. Typically, this involves a combination of button presses during power-up or a specific menu sequence.
Isondlo
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and accuracy of your FLOMEC TM Series Water Meter.
