Onicon F-5500 - Introduction: Quick Start Guide; 1. Record inside diameter (ID).; 2. Record upstream and downstream straight-pipe requirements; 4. Ensure correct probe depth setting.

1. Record inside diameter (ID). Ensure the actual
pipe ID matches the pipe ID shown on the
factory calibration certificate. If IDs do not
match, refer to p. 52.
2. Record upstream and downstream straight-pipe
requirements based on tables for insertion (p.
18) and inline (p. 26).
3. a. The Flow Direction Indicator must point in the
direction of flow.
b. The Indicator can also be used to change the
orientation of the housing for a better view of the
meter's display. Note that the 2 set screws must
be loosened before the housing will turn.
[refer to p. 21 for more information]
4. Ensure correct probe depth setting. If using 1 ½"
size pipe, please see note on p. 22.
5. Open the housing. If needed, the orientation of
display can be rotated in 90° increments for a
better view of the display in tight installations.
[refer to p. 28 for more information]
6. Ensure power wiring and 4-20mA wiring
properly connected
[refer to p. 30 - p. 32 for more information]
7. Verify you have the proper output signal wiring
setup based on model type (Pulse/Alarm or
communication protocol)
[refer to p. 33 - p. 35 for more information]
8. Power on the flow meter
9. Check the remaining flow meter settings by accessing the meter settings either through the front panel
of the display or by using the F-5000 View™ software tool. Record the settings in the spaces given for
items A - D on the following page.
Use the table and images below as a guide while using the worksheet on the next page to record your notes.
NOTE: Please read the entire Quick-start procedure before beginning installation.
