Why are pulse output values not giving accurate total volumes on my Flomec Measuring Instruments?
- S
  sallydodsonAug 3, 2025
  If the pulse output values on your Flomec Measuring Instruments are not providing accurate total volumes, it could be due to a mismatch between your device's pulse input and the module's pulse output. Reconfigure either the module output or the pulse input device to match the pulses per unit of volume. Also, make sure that the Q9 display calibration is optimized to ensure correct volume totals.

How to fix Q9 display value not giving correct volume totals on Flomec Measuring Instruments?
- S
  Savannah RossAug 8, 2025
  If the Q9 display value on your Flomec Measuring Instruments is not showing the correct volume totals, it might be displaying velocity, flowrate, or accumulative total instead of the batch total. Press the "bottom button" on the Q9 display until the correct volume is displayed. Refer to the Operation Section in the Q9 owner's manual for guidance. If this is not the issue, see the Operation/Calibration Section of this manual to ensure that the Q9 display calibration is optimized.

What to do if Flomec Measuring Instruments has no output signal?
- M
  Michael SnowAug 13, 2025
  If your Flomec Measuring Instruments unit has no output signal, several factors could be at play. First, ensure the unit is receiving the correct input power. If power is not the issue, verify the wiring is correct according to the owner’s manual. A broken connection could also be the cause; check the resistance to locate any breaks. Other potential causes include a defective PC board connector or a defective unit, in which case you should contact your distributor or the factory for a replacement. Finally, if batteries are installed, remove them and cycle loop power.

What to do if signal is not between 4-20mA when fluid is flowing on Flomec Measuring Instruments?
- P
  Paul SimmonsAug 18, 2025
  If the signal is not between 4-20mA when fluid is flowing in your Flomec Measuring Instruments, there are a few potential causes. First, the ZERO and SPAN settings on the Q9 display might not be set correctly. Refer to the Q9 owner’s manual for instructions on how to set these parameters for your meter. Additionally, the 4-20 mA Module output signal "ZERO" and "SPAN" may not match your recording device's settings; reconfigure them to match. Finally, verify that the Q9 display calibration is optimized to ensure correct flowrate.

How to fix Q9 display value not giving correct flowrate on Flomec Measuring Instruments?
- A
  Allison MontgomeryAug 23, 2025
  If the Q9 display value on your Flomec Measuring Instruments is not showing the correct flowrate, it may be displaying velocity or volume totals instead. Press the "top button" of the Q9 display until flowrate is displayed. See the Operation Section in the Q9 owner's manual for more information. If this doesn't resolve the issue, consult the Operation/Calibration Section of this manual to verify that the Q9 display calibration is optimized.

Why is scaled pulse output not working on Flomec Measuring Instruments?
- A
  abrownAug 28, 2025
  If the Scaled Pulse output is not working or not shown in the Q9 configuration options menu on your Flomec Measuring Instruments, it may be because batteries are installed, which disables this feature. Remove the batteries, cycle loop power, and then reconfigure the Scaled Pulse output feature on the Q9 display.
