CABLE CONNECTIONS

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

WMP104.

The WMP104 is battery-powered totally self-con-

tained and does not require any electrical connections (there

is no output on the WMP104 model).

WMP101.

A connector is provided on the outside of the

WMP101. To connect to the meter, plug the cable in and

hand tighten the retaining threads. Follow the diagram to

make connections. If you are using the pulse output, connect

power first and determine that the meter is working properly

by observing the display. Then connect the pulse output.

OPERATION

Grounding (WMP101).

For best performance, especially in

chemically noisy environments, the gray ground wire and the

bare drain wire should be connected together and to a good

earth ground as close to the meter as possible. Metal pipe

and fittings in contact with the fluid should also be bonded to

the same earth ground with corrosion-resistant connections.

Display.

The display reads flow rate and accumulated total,

in the units for which it was ordered. The top line is total, the

bottom line is rate, and indicators give the units (ac-ft, GPM

for instance.) Empty or partially-full pipe is automatically de-

tected and is indicated by a reading of “ – EP – “.

Battery.

The standard batteries are user replaceable with an

approximate 1-2 year life depending on usage. An extended

battery life option offers an estimated 2-4 year life depending

on usage. On the battery-powered WMP104 there is a low-

battery indicator (“low bat”) when the battery voltage drops

below a certain point. Batteries should be changed within

four weeks of the appearance of this indicator.
