MAINTENANCE
Batteries
The computer electronics are powered by alkaline batteries. Removing the batteries before
storing the meter will extend battery life since the computer is always on (either standby or
active) when the batteries are installed.
If the meter's readout should become dim, blank or the low battery message appears (see
below), the batteries should be replaced.
NOTE: If the battery life is sufficiently low,
“LOWBAT” will be displayed in the message area
on the bottom row of characters. This low battery
message will be displayed automatically without
running a diagnostic battery check.
Battery Replacement Information
The computer is shipped with (2) alkaline AAA size batteries (1.5-volts each) installed.
Battery replacements are readily available as an off-the-shelf item. To maintain the
FLOMEC® warranty, the batteries listed below are approved for use.
Do not mix brands or technologies. Do not mix old and new batteries. Do not use
rechargeable batteries.
When batteries are disconnected or fail, the computer memory will retain the batch total,
accumulative total, factory calibration curve, and field calibration curve indefinitely.
It is strongly recommended that battery checks and terminal cleaning be a part of a routine
maintenance schedule. Battery terminals should be cleaned annually. Batteries can be
replaced without removing the meter from the piping system.
Replace Batteries
1. Remove the (4) corner screws attaching the computer electronics to the meter and lift the
computer electronics from the meter.
2. Remove the batteries.
3. Check the battery terminals and remove any corrosion.
4. Install the new batteries and make sure the positive posts are positioned correctly. When
the batteries are installed correctly, the computer powers on automatically and the display
will show information.
5. Make sure the seal is fully seated before placing the computer electronics back on the
turbine. Tighten the (4) screws previously removed.
6. Do not clean exterior of computer assembly with Isopropyl Alcohol.
