MODEL MX06 and MX09
1/4’’ OVAL GEAR FLOWMETER
INSTRUCTION MANUAL

To the Owner
Please read and retain this instruction manual to assist you in the operation and maintenance of this product.
This manual contains connection and operating in-structions for the MX series Flowmeters with Pulse outputs.
Models with a Liquid Crystal Display have an addi-tional LCD instruction manual supplied. If you need further
assistance, contact your local representative or distributor for advice.
This Flow Meter has incorporated the oval rotor prin-cipal into its design. This is proven to be a reliable and
highly accurate method of measuring flow. Exceptional repeatability and high accuracy over a wide range of
fluid viscosities and flow rates are features of the oval rotor design.
With a low pressure drop and high pressure rating oval rotor flow meters are suitable for both gravity and (inline) pump applications.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

FLUID COMPATABILITY
Before use, confirm the fluid to be used is
compatible with the meter. Refer to Industry
fluid compatibility charts or consult your local
representative for advice.

STRAINER
To prevent damage from dirt or foreign matter
it is recommended that a Y or Basket type
200 mesh strainer be installed as close as
possible to the inlet side of the meter.
When a strainer is installed it should be
regularly inspected and cleaned. Failure to
keep the strainer clean will dramatically effect
flow meter performance.
Contact your local representative for advice.

AIR PURGE / LINE PRESSURE
To prevent damage caused by air purge slowly
fill the meter with fluid.
To reduce pressure build-up turn off the
at the end of each day.

REED SWITCH
The reed switch can cause inaccurate rate
counts when used with high speed counters.
It is advised that a low speed counter is used or
alternatively a denounce circuit be installed.

OPERATING PRINCIPLE

1. It is recommended that when setting up pipe work
for meter installations, a bypass line be included
in the design. This provides the facility for a meter
to be removed for maintenance without interrupt
ing production. (see figure above)
2. Use thread sealant on all pipe threads.
3. For pump applications ensure pipe work and
Meter have the appropriate working pressure
rating to match the pressure output of the pump.
Refer to Meter Specifications section for further
details.
4. Install a wire mesh strainer, Y or basket type 200
mesh (74 micron), as close as possible to the
inlet side of the meter.
5. Note: The Flowmeter can accept flow in any
direction.
6. The meter can be installed in any orientation as
long as the meter shafts are in a horizontal plane.
(Refer to diagram below for correct installation)
.
Note: Incorrect installation can cause premature
wear of meter components.

Fluid passing through the meter causes the rotors to
turn, as shown below.
One of the rotors (the active rotor) is fitted with
magnets.
The passing of the magnets are picked up by the
sensing elements (Reed and Hall Effect sensors)
located in the Pulser Circuit Board.
The excitation of these switches provides a ‘Raw
Pulse Output’ which relates to the K-Factor.
(e.g. KF 400 = 400 pulses per litre of fluid passed)
This Pulse Output Signal can either be fed directly to
an external receiving element (e.g. Data Logger or
PLC) or alternatively to an LC Display which conditions the Pulse input signal to display volume of fluid
passed. (e.g. Display 1 Litre per for every 400 pulses
received)

The LC display may removed by loosening the 4
mounting screws and be orientated as required.
7. Do not over tighten meter connections. .
8. It is important that after initial installation you
fill the line slowly, high speed air purge could
cause damage to the rotors.
9. Test the system for leaks.
10. Check the strainer for swarf or foreign material,
after the first 200 litres check periodically,
particularly if the flow rate is noted to be
decreasing.

MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE
DISASSEMBLY
Note: Maintenance can be carried out to the liquid
crystal displays and pulse output modules without
having to remove or isolate the meter from the process line.
When maintenance to any other part of the meter is
required, the meter must be isolated and the line
pressure released.
Refer to the exploded parts diagram on (see Fig for
item numbers.

4. Smear the O-Ring with a light film of grease.
Replace the O-Ring into groove in the meter cap.
The O-Ring will need to be replaced if it has
grown or is damaged in anyway.
5. Replace the meter cap.
6. Insert the cap head screws and tighten in a
diagonal sequence 1, 5, 7, 3, etc.
Torque = 6.5 Nm

Note: It is advisable to mark all components with a
marker pen before disassembly, to ensure all the
components are replaced to their correct position
during the reassembly process.

7. Test the meter by turning the rotors with a finger
or by applying very low air pressure (no more
than a good breath) to one end of the meter,
before returning the meter to service.

1. Remove the meter cap by loosening the bolts on
the underside of the meter body. (see FIG 1)

FIG 1

2. Remove the O-Ring from the O-Ring groove in the
meter cap.
Wipe clean of grease and store in clean place
3. Remove rotors from the meter body
4. Remove the shafts from the meter body.

REASSEMBLY
1. Before reassembling check the condition of the
rotors (replace if necessary).

FIG 2
Dimple

2. Replace the shafts into the meter body.
3. There are two Rotor Types.
Active and Neutral.
The Active Rotor can be identified by a Dimple on
the face of the rotor. (see Fig 2)
Caution: The active rotor is always fitted
nearest ‘dimple’ on the meter body
(see FIG 3)

Smooth side
Replace Active Rotor.
Check the dimpled face (smooth side) of the rotor
is the lead-in face when fitting onto the shaft and
into the meter body. (see Fig 2).
Replace Neutral Rotor. Check that the smooth
side of the rotor is the leading face when fitting
onto the shaft. (see FIG 2)
Fit the neutral rotor onto the shafts ensuring that
the rotor pair are at 90 degrees to one another.
(see FIG 3)

FIG 3

Active Rotor

Check their operation by turning either of the
rotors. If the rotors are not in mesh correctly,
or do not move freely, remove one of the rotors
and replace correctly at 90 degrees to one another

Reed Switch
To maximise the life of the reed switch contacts, the pulse board comes equipped with a 1k8Ω current limiting resistor in series
with the reed switch as standard.
These resistors are user swappable should you require a different value for your system.

NPN Open Collector Hall Effect Sensor
The output for the hall effect sensor is NPN (current sinking, open collector). For correct operation, it is advisable to have a pull
-up resistor installed.
The hall effect sensor is equipped with a 1k8Ω pull-up resistor between signal and supply as standard.
This in-built pull-up resistor can be bypassed by moving the jumper pin to the off position if required.
A pull-up resistor of your choosing can be installed between signal and supply, provided the in-built pull-up resistor be bypassed first.
