Banjo MFM100 Bedienungsanleitung

The 1" Flow Meter Series are a full-bore, plastic-bodied electromagnetic

ow meter designed for ow and usage monitoring applications in 1" pipe.

The polypropylene ow tube oers corrosion resistance to a wide range of

chemicals. Its light weight and clamp anges allow it to be easily installed

or removed from the pipe for inspection. There are multiple congurations.

With no moving parts, the magmeter permits unobstructed ow,

minimizing ow disturbances. The 1" Meter Series can be used in

piping congurations where there is little space between the meter

and valve. The 1" Meter Series, like other magmeters, are resistant to

wear from debris. Since there are no bearings or propeller to wear out,

downtime and maintenance are kept to a minimum. Because there are no

mechanical parts in the ow stream, the meter tolerates high ows without

damage. Please note that ow does not automatically turn the meter on.

The hinged, polyethylene cover protects from dust and UV rays, while

permitting easy access to the LCD ow rate and total display. The

electronics housing is made of rugged powder-coated die-cast aluminum.

Flow rate and total can be displayed in a variety of units, customer-

selected and factory-set.

The 1" Meter Series are used for tracking ow rates and total ow in

usage monitoring applications. These would include wells, industrial

wastewater, leach mining discharge, cooling tower deduct metering, turf

and landscape applications, and other water reclamation operations. In

the event of DC power loss, or when changing batteries, the ow meter

will retain internal settings and ow total.

The ow meters are externally powered via a 5-pin connector cable

(20ft/6m) which also provides pulse output for use with a variety of

displays and controls for remote reading, data logging, pulse-to-analog

conversion, and telemetry applications.

The ow meters are battery-operated units for use when pulse output

is not required. The batteries are user replaceable with an approximate

1-year life under continuous use, or more depending on the duty cycle.

The ow meters shut o after minutes of inactivity to preserve battery life.

* Will not read petroleum

based liquids.

1. When placing the owmeter in line, it is important to rotate the

owmeter so that it is approximately at a 45-degree angle. (See

gure 1) This will improve performance of the ow meter. The ow

meter can be placed vertical as long as ow is sucient to ll the

pipe.

2. There are 3 photoeyes located on the face of the ow meter.

Note: These are not buttons so you will not push them, instead, to

activate you must hold your nger over the photoeye for 2-4

seconds. To reset the running total you must hold your nger over

both the “batch reset” and the “batch/total” photoeyes. If you would

like liters rather than gallons, you will need to hold your nger over the

rst and third photoeyes at the same time. (See gure 2)

3. There are six (6) AA batteries located inside the ow meter.

To replace the batteries, simply remove the four cover bolts and

gently remove the top cover. Replace batteries and fasten cover

back in place. Be careful not to pinch any wires when assembling the

cover. It is a good idea to change the batteries yearly.

4. The ow rate of the meter is designed to have an unlimited ow,

meaning that the meter will read as much ow as one can push

though a 1" full port coupling. However, the accuracy of the meter

decreases as the meter reaches ows under 2.3 GPM. From 2.3 to

110 GPM the meter is within 2-3% accuracy.

5. It is good to thoroughly clean the meter and the electrodes at least

once a year. This can be done by gently rubbing the electrodes with a

piece of emery cloth.

6. The “EP” is an error message meaning that the system is idle and

there is no uid traveling through it at that time.

7. It is recommended to have at least 10 inches of straight pipe before

the ow meter and at least 10 inches after.

8. The cover can be rotated. To rotate cover 90°, remove the 4 cover

bolts and carefully rotate the cover to the desired position. Take note

not to pull or pinch any of the connecting wires. To rotate the cover

180°, remove the 4 cover bolts, the 6 AA batteries and the 2 screws

that hold the battery holder in place. Then rotate the battery holder

and the cover together to the desired location. Take note not to pull

or pinch any of the connecting wires.

Piping Conditions

Installing the meter with a length of straight pipe at least two

times the diameter upstream and one diameters downstream is

highly recommended. Some piping conditions require more than

this. See chart for recommendations.

If hose is used, use smooth bore hose.

Follow the diagram below to make the connections.

INSTALLATION

Step 1.

Position gasket

at either end Step 2.

This is an all position meter which can be installed either vertically

or horizontally, register up, down or angled. However, entrained air

or solids may make some positions preferable to others. See the

position diagram for guidance.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS, CABLE CONNECTIONS & OPERATION

10x

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

A connector is provided on the outside of the ow meters. To connect to the meter, plug the cable in and hand tighten the retaining threads. Follow

the diagram to make connections. If you are using the pulse output, connect power rst and determine that the meter is working properly by

observing the display, then connect the pulse output.

CABLE CONNECTIONS

OPERATION - GROUNDING

For best performance, especially in noisy environments, the gray ground wire and the bare drain wire should be connected together and to a good

earth ground as close to the meter as possible. Metal pipe and ttings in contact with the uid, should also be bonded to the same earth ground with

corrosion-resistant connections.

MAINTENANCE, REPAIR AND TROUBLE SHOOTING

MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR

There are no user-serviceable parts in the 1" Meter Series meters except the batteries.

Battery Replacement

When the “Lo Batt” indicator appears, the batteries should be changed. Six alkaline AA cells are required. To change the batteries, rst remove the

four screws which hold the top cover in place. Be careful not to lose the washers. Move the top cover to one side and remove the foam retainer

which covers the battery tray. Remove the old batteries and replace them with fresh ones, taking care to follow the polarity indicators in the battery

tray. Replace the foam retainer, then put the top cover back in place. Put the four screws with washers back and tighten them rmly.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

PROBLEM PROBABLE CAUSE TRY

Blank Display Batteries dead or incorrectly installed Check polarity, replace batteries

Reading “-EP-” Empty or partly lled pipe

Excessive air pockets or foaming Rearrange piping to ensure full pipe
