Series  
Caution: Take care not to drop your sensor or subject it to  
sudden impact. Read the installation section of this manual  
before providing power or tubing connections to the unit. Any  
damage caused by improper installation or careless handling will  
not be repaired under warranty (see limited warranty on page  
28 for more details).  
2. Product Overview and Principle of Operation  
The FLR 1000 series of flow meters and sensors for gases from Omega  
Engineering are capable of measuring volumetric flows as low as 20-100  
ml/min or as high as 100-500 l/min. Highly repeatable results are  
achieved using a patented Pelton Turbine Wheel flow sensor design. This

proven design minimizes zero drift while maintaining fast response and  
linear outputs with virtually no maintenance.  
Flow is measured using a miniature turbine wheel similar in size to a U.S.  
dime (16 mm diameter, 0.75 mm thick). The micro-turbine wheel is  
supported on a very small sapphire shaft that is held in position by two  
sapphire bearings.  
As flow passes through the sensor, a precision machined nozzle directs the  
gas onto the very small teeth of the micro-turbine wheel. This causes the  
wheel to spin at a speed proportional to the volumetric flow rate.  
The micro-turbine wheel has alternating white and black sections evenly  
spaced on one side of the wheel. An infrared light beam is directed onto  
the wheel. As the wheel rotates the infrared beam is reflected off each  
white section. The reflected beam is detected by a phototransistor that  
converts the reflections into electrical pulses. As the wheel spins faster the  
pulse rate increases. Processing circuitry provides analog and/or pulse  
output that are linearly proportional to the volumetric flow rate  
When the wheel stops (under zero flow conditions), no pulses are  
generated. Consequently, zero drift is not possible and zero adjustments  
are never required.  
Every unit is supplied with a calibration certificate detailing the results  
obtained during calibration. Units are calibrated using AIR as the reference  
media. Flowing gases with different physical characteristics may effect the  
calibration.  
B.  
Installation  
Caution: Do not exceed the pressure, temperature or  
power operating ranges detailed in the SPECIFICATIONS  
section of this manual. Omega Engineering shall not be  
liable for any damage or injury caused by incorrect  
operation of their products.  
pg. 5 of 29

1. General Considerations  
It is recommended that a safety shut-off valve be installed upstream of  
(before) the sensor.  
All wetted parts should be checked for compatibility with the gas to be  
used. If there are any incompatibilities eg. highly corrosive gas, then the  
unit may be damaged or fail prematurely. Such damage will not be  
repaired under warranty.  
Units should be installed in a clean, dry environment with an ambient  
temperature that is as stable as possible. Avoid areas with strong magnetic  
fields, strong air flows or excessive vibration.  
If the gas to be used may contain particles larger than 25 microns then a  
filter (25 microns or less) should be installed upstream of (before) the unit.  
2. Mounting the Flow Sensor or Flow Meter.  
Caution: On high flow units (2.0-10.0 L/min, and above)  
DO NOT disassemble the shunt / mounting plate  
assembly or the unit will not operate correctly and the  
warranty will be void.  
The Omega Engineering FLR 1000 Series units have no particular  
installation requirements so may be mounted in any convenient position.  
For optimum results the unit should be mounted with the mounting feet  
horizontal on top of a flat horizontal surface. This is the same position that  
the unit is calibrated in at the factory. Please contact the Omega  
Engineering Service Department if calibration for mounting in another  
orientation is desired.  
It is recommended that units be fixed to a suitable substrate with #4  
screws using the two mounting holes provided.

3. Tubing Connections  
CAUTION: DO NOT FLOW ANY LIQUID THROUGH A GAS  
FLOW SENSOR OR FLOW METER. THIS WILL SERIOUSLY  
EFFECT THE PERFORMANCE AND VOID THE WARRANTY.  
CAUTION: DO NOT FLOW A HIGH PRESSURE GAS  
THROUGH THE SENSOR. A BURST OF HIGH PRESSURE  
GAS MAY CAUSE THE UNIT TO BE DAMAGED. ALWAYS  
FLOW GAS AT A PRESSURE AND FLOW RATE WITHIN  
THE SPECIFCATIONS OF THE UNIT  
All tubing must be clean, dry and without crimps, burrs or scratches.  
Only use the factory installed fittings on the unit. If the fittings are  
removed the calibration of the unit may be effected and leaking may  
occur. If different fittings are required please contact the Omega  
Engineering Company Service Department for assistance.  
When connecting the sensor to the tubing a wrench should be used to  
stop the fitting rotating in the sensor body. Take care not to over tighten  
the fittings or leaking may occur.  
Connecting and tightening the Fittings  
(FLR 1000-ST-D shown, other models similar)  
Caution: DO NOT over tighten the fittings into the flow  
sensor or flow meter body. Excessive force may damage  
the sensor body. This type of damage will NOT be  
repaired under warranty.  
The flow direction for the unit is clearly marked on the label. Do not  
reverse the flow direction or the unit will not function correctly.

Close Up of Label Showing Flow Direction  
(FLR 1000 shown, other models similar)  
The tubing ID should be as large as possible to avoid restrictions and  
turbulence. For the best results, a straight length of tubing before the unit  
is recommended. This should be 20 times the tubing I.D. or greater  
4. Electrical Connections  
Caution: Incorrect wiring may cause severe damage to the unit.  
Applying an AC voltage (115VAC or 230VAC) directly to the unit  
will cause damage. Read the following instructions carefully  
before making any connections.  
a) Overview  
Omega Engineering flow sensors for gases provide a 0-5VDC output  
proportional to the volumetric flow rate. This output may be connected to  
a display, data acquisition system or voltmeter. The FLR 1000-D and 1000-  
BR-D series feature an integral display that provides a local flow reading.  
These units also have a 0-5VDC analog output available. If required, this  
may be connected to another display, data acquisition system or  
voltmeter.  
A stable D.C. power supply is required to operate the unit. The voltage  
and current requirements depend on the configuration of the unit. Full  
details may be found in the Specification section of this manual.  
Connecting wires should be as short as possible to avoid voltage drops.  
Twisted 2 pair conductor cable of a suitable gauge should be used if the  
length of the power wires is to be longer than 1 meter (3.2 feet).

Units are supplied with an integral 4 pin connector. Connections to the unit  
are made using a mating cable assembly or power adapter package as  
detailed in the following sections. A connector pin and wire color cross  
reference may also be found in Appendix F (Page 18) of this manual.  
b) Connecting a Cable Assembly  
The connector on the end of the cable assembly should be pushed into the  
mating socket on the sensor taking care to ensure that it is the correct  
way up.  
Connecting the Cable Assembly  
(FLR 1000 shown, other models similar)  
Electrical connections to the cable assembly are made as detailed in the  
following sections.  
pg. 9 of 29  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
c) Electrical Connections – Voltage Output Units  
The cable assembly should be connected to the sensor as detailed in  
section 5(b) above. Do not apply power to the sensor until all the  
connections have been made and checked. Electrical connections should  
be made as follows:  
Wiring Schematic For Voltage Output Units.  
The RED wire should be connected to the Positive of the power source.  
The BLACK wire should be connected to the Negative ( Ground ) of the  
power source.  
The WHITE wire provides the signal output and should be connected to  
the positive terminal of the display, data acquisition system or voltmeter  
with an impedance greater than 2500(Ohms).  
The GREEN wire is not used.  
Caution: Avoid high voltage static discharges to any of the  
connections. Do not short the input/output signal wires or allow  
them to contact the power wires at any time. DAMAGE WILL  
RESULT!

d) Using a 0-5VDC Output Power Adapter Package.  
An optional 0-5VDC Output Power Adapter Package is available for use  
with the FLR 1000 series (not the FLR 1000-ST-I). This consists of a power  
source (115VAC or 230VAC) and cable assembly with pig-tail (soldered  
wire) ends for the signal output. This should be assembled as shown in  
the following diagram.  
Connecting the Power Adapter to the Flow Sensor  
(FLR 1000 shown, other models similar)  
The 0-5VDC analog output may be connected to a display, data acquisition  
system or voltmeter with a minimum load of 2.5 k(kilo ohms).  
The YELLOW wire of the cable assembly provides the 0-5VDC signal  
output and should be connected to the positive terminal of the display,  
data acquisition system or voltmeter.  
The GREEN wire is not used.  
The WHITE wire of the cable assembly is the signal negative and should  
be connected to the negative (ground) terminal of the voltmeter, display  
or data acquisition system.  
Caution: Avoid high voltage static discharges to any of the  
connections. Do not short the output signal wires or allow them  
to contact the power wires at any time. DAMAGE WILL RESULT!

C.  
Operation  
CAUTION: DO NOT FLOW ANY LIQUID THROUGH A GAS  
FLOW SENSOR OR FLOW METER. THIS WILL SERIOUSLY  
EFFECT THE PERFORMANCE AND VOID THE WARRANTY.  
1. Start Up  
Before applying power to the unit check all tubing and electrical  
connections. Once correct installation is verified switch on the power.  
2. Flow Readings  
The FLR 1000 Series for gases provide a 0-5VDC output proportional to  
the volumetric flow rate.  
The FLR 1000-D and FLR 1000-BR-D series feature an integral 3.5 digit  
display that provides a local flow reading and a 0-5VDC analog output  
proportional to the volumetric flow rate.  
Each unit is factory calibrated for a specific flow range. The flow range is  
shown on the unit’s label and calibration certificate. Units are calibrated  
using AIR as the reference media unless otherwise noted. Calibrations are  
carried out with the mounting feet horizontal on a flat horizontal surface.  
a) 0-5VDC Analog Outputs  
By monitoring the voltage output signal it is possible to determine the flow  
rate of the gas. Units are configured so that an output signal of 5.0VDC is  
provided when the maximum flow (i.e. Full Scale flow) is passing through  
the unit. The output signal is linear and scaleable enabling calculation of  
flow rates within the sensor’s range.  
For example:  
For a flow range of 100-500ml/min:  
At 500ml/min the output signal would be 5VDC  
If the output signal were 3.5VDC then the flow rate would be:  
(500 ÷ 5) × 3.5 = 350ml/min  
If the maximum flow rate is exceeded non-linear and inaccurate readings  
will result.  
b) Units With an Integral Display  
The FLR 1000-D and FLR 1000-BR-D series features an integral 3 ½ digit  
LCD display. This is configured to read in ml/min for flow ranges up to  
pg. 12 of 29  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
100-500 ml/min and in l/min for flow ranges of 0.2 – 1.0 L/min and above.  
The display will only operate if power is applied to the unit.  
Flow readings may be taken directly from the display or by monitoring the  
0-5VDC analog output provided by using a cable assembly or power  
adapter package (see above).  
LCD Flow Display  
(Model FLR1000-ST-D shown, other models with displays similar)  
3. Operating at Flow Rates Outside the Calibrated Flow Range  
CAUTION:. If the flow through the unit exceeds 120% of  
the maximum rated (full scale) flow the unit may be  
damaged. This type of damage will not be repaired under  
warranty.  
Flow measurement is only accurate within the calibrated flow range for the  
unit. This is detailed on the calibration certificate. The unit will still  
operate, to some degree, outside this flow range.  
Results obtained when operating outside the specified range of the unit  
are not accurate but may be considered repeatable.  
a) Flows Above the Maximum Rated Flow.  
If the flow rate is above the maximum rated (or full scale) flow, the unit  
will still operate and provide an output signal proportional to the flow rate.  
Flows must not exceed 120% of the maximum rated flow or the unit may  
be damaged.  
b) Flows Below the Minimum Rated Flow.  
Signal outputs may be obtained at flow rates below the minimum specified  
for your unit. The amount of flow that may be measured below the  
minimum specified varies from unit to unit.

4. Zero Adjustments  
It is impossible for there to be any zero drift so zero adjustments are  
never required.  
5. Recalibration  
Please contact the Omega Engineering Service Department if your flow  
sensor or flow meter needs recalibration.  
6. Using Flow Sensors or Flow Meters with Different Gases  
The FLR 1000 Series will operate with most gases subject to compatibility  
of the wetted parts. For information about calibrating for Hydrogen or  
Helium, contact the Omega Engineering Service Department.  
Units are calibrated with AIR at a pressure of 760mmHg and temperature  
of 23°C unless otherwise detailed on the calibration certificate. Using other  
gases will effect the calibration. The amount of calibration error will  
depend on the characteristics of the gas being flowed.  
The flow reading correction factor (or calibration factor) may be  
approximately calculated with the following formula:  
0.3  
Cf = ( Snew ÷ Scurrent  
)
Cf = Correction factor  
S
S
new = Specific gravity of new gas  
current = Specific gravity of original calibration gas  
A corrected flow reading may then be calculated using the correction  
factor as follows:  
Corrected Flow = Flow reading X Correction Factor  
For example, if the unit is calibrated for AIR but the user wants to  
measure the flow of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) with a specific gravity of 1.517  
the flow reading correction factor would be calculated as follows:  
Snew = Specific gravity of CO2 = 1.517  
Scurrent = Specific gravity of Air = 1.000  
0.3  
Cf = (Scurrent ÷ Snew  
Cf = ( 1.000 ÷ 1.517 )0.3  
Cf = 0.88  
)
pg. 14 of 29  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
If the unit has a flow reading of 200ml/min then the corrected flow  
reading (for CO2) would be:  
Corrected Flow = 200 X 0.88 = 176 ml/min  
CAUTION:. The use of correction factors can be subject  
to inaccuracy and errors of up to ±10%. Please contact  
the Omega Engineering Service Department if accurate,  
certified recalibration is required.  
Calculating a correction factor for a gas enables the calibration of the unit  
to be adjusted for that gas. This is accomplished by:  
i)  
Calculate the corrected flow reading or VDC output at 100% of  
flow using the above formulas.  
ii)  
iii)  
Adjust the flow of (the new) gas to give this flow reading  
Maintain this flow and ensure a stable reading.  
iv)  
Adjust the gain potentiometer on the unit so that a 5VDC output  
is obtained. The unit is now calibrated for the new gas.  
For example: A 2.0 -10.0 l/min unit that has been calibrated for Air is to  
be used with CO2. The correction factor, calculated as above, is 0.88.  
When flowing CO2 the unit will read high i.e. at 5VDC the flow of CO2  
would actually be 8.8 l/min and not 10 L/min. A flow of 10 l/min of CO2  
through the unit would give a reading of 10/0.88 = 11.36 l/min or 5.68  
VDC on the unit. Flow should be adjusted so that an output of 5.68VDC or  
reading of 11.36l/min is obtained. The gain potentiometer is then adjusted  
so that the voltage output becomes 5VDC or the display reads 10l/min.  
The unit has now been adjusted for CO2 and no further corrections to flow  
readings are required (if flowing CO2).  
It should be noted that the maximum output voltage for the units is  
approximately 5.9VDC. It is not possible to adjust units if an output of  
greater than 5.9 VDC is required.

Maintenance and Product Care  
1. General  
CAUTION: Do not disassemble your unit for any reason.  
If the unit appears to be malfunctioning please contact  
the Omega Engineering Service Department.  
The FLR 1000 Series of flow meters and sensors require no periodic  
maintenance if used within the recommended specifications.  
The next recommended recalibration date is stated on the calibration  
certificate supplied with the unit. Please contact the Omega Engineering  
Service Department for further information.  
Inlet filters should be periodically checked and cleaned / replaced as  
necessary.  
Regularly check all electrical and process connections for damage or  
deterioration.  
If the sensor is to be stored, keep both the inlet and outlet ports sealed.  
2. Cleaning and Flushing  
If there is a build up of deposits or particles from the measured gases it  
may be necessary to clean or flush the unit. This should be done by  
flowing clean, particle free air (or Nitrogen) through the unit at a flow rate,  
pressure and temperature within the specifications of the unit. If  
necessary, flow may be reversed to assist flushing.  
CAUTION: Do not flow a high pressure gas through the  
sensor. A burst of high pressure gas may cause the  
turbine wheel sensor to be damaged. Always flow gas at  
a pressure and flow rate within the specifications of the  
unit  
3. Returning Units for Repair or Recalibration  
To return a unit for repair or recalibration please contact the Omega  
Engineering Customer Service Department. An Authorized Return (AR)  
number will then be issued. The AR number should then be noted on the  
outside of the package and on any correspondence. Further details may be  
found on page 28 of this manual.
