Finish Thompson FM3000 Series - Manual (Page 6)

Flow Indicator
The top center of the meter display has a flow direction indicator. The legs will turn in a clockwise direction when the flow direction is
correct. If the flow is backwards through the meter, the legs do not turn and the flow total is subtracted by the amount flowing through the
meter backwards.
NOTE: All four ranges are preset with a calibration factor of 182.0
NOTE: If “Set Reset” button is pressed before any liquid passes through the meter when it is in calibration mode, an incorrect calibra-
tion factor will result. If this occurs, “EE” will briefly flash on the bottom line of the display. If this occurs, the meter will need to be calibrated
again.
NOTE: To verify that the meter is properly calibrated, repeat Step Three. If not, repeat calibration process.
Restoring Factory Defaults
To restore all the meter settings to the factory defaults, enter the programming menu by pressing and holding the “Mode Menu”
button and then press and hold the “+” button, then press and hold the “-” buttons at the same time. Then press the “Set Reset”
button to restore factory defaults and automatically exit the programming mode.
NOTE: This will return all four calibration ranges to factory settings. It also resets accumulated totals for all four ranges and re-
stores default batch preset value (amount) to 5.0 liters.
Section 3 - Maintenance
The FM-3000 Series was engineered for low maintenance; however, some conditions will cause increased wear on the paddle and/or possible
damage to the unit. Damage caused by corrosives incompatible with the meters materials of construction or abrasive fluids is not covered under
warranty.
• Replace the battery when the low battery indicator (“Batt”) is displayed in the lower right hand corner. Make sure the meter is in “Power
Save” mode (meter is off with nothing displayed on the front panel) before replacing the battery. The program memory is “non-volatile” and
will not erase when replacing the battery. To replace the battery, open the meter enclosure by removing the four Phillips screws from the back
of the meter. The battery is a lithium 3.6 volt, “AA” size. After replacing the battery, be sure the o-ring seal is in place and is in good condition,
before reinstalling the screws.
