Omega fd6003 User Manual

A. Do not attempt to add additional cable to the 

transducers. 

B. Refer to the DIAGRAMS in Figure 1.2 for proper power 

and transducer connections.  Verify proper jumper 
selections are in place for the power source.  See 
Figure 3.4. 

A. Adjust the GAIN control [R13] to 1/4 turn from full 

counter-clockwise rotation. 

B. Apply power to the instrument. 

C. If the pipe is full of a flowing liquid, the flow meter 

signal strength will increase from a zero reading.(press 
the 2nd FUNCT key, then press SIGNAL STR).  If the 
Signal Strength does not increase to a minimum of 
000125 counts, gradually turn the GAIN control [R13] 
clockwise until the indication is between 000125 and 
000200.  (Do not over adjust this setting as ambient 
noise can influence readings.)   

D. If possible, turn off the flow in the pipe.  Verify that 

SIGNAL STR. is lower than 000100.  If SIGNAL STR. 
is greater than 000100, verify that the sensor/
transmitter are not located near electrically noisy 
components. (VFDs, inverters, motors, power relays, 
etc)  Verify that transducer connections are proper 
and secure.  If the SIGNAL STR. remains greater than 
000100, consult the Dynasonics Factory for 
assistance.  It is possible that the GAIN control [R13] is 
set too far clockwise and ambient noise is influencing 
the readings.  Turn the control counter-clockwise until 
the signal strength decreases to below 000070 counts. 

E. If the instrument passes steps 4C and 4D, the basic 

setup of the instrument is complete. 

PART 1 - QUICK START 

IMPORTANT! 
In order to successfully complete the configuration of 
the FD6000 Series flow meter, the transducer must be
mounted on a pipe which is full of a flowing liquid.  It 
is normal to have a zero reading and no signal 
strength indication with empty pipes or zero flow rate.
