Alicat Portable Meters and Gauges
Alicat Portable Flow Meters and Gauges use a common 9 Volt battery located in the top section of your
meter.
Output signals from the ow meter are passed through the female connector on top of the ow meter.
Turn the switch on top of the ow meter “off” when the meter is not in use.
Normal (9V alkaline) battery life is approximately 8 hours (30-40 hours with a 9V-lithium battery),
however many factors can affect this.
Replace the battery as often as required. A yellow LED indicates low voltage and that the battery should
be replaced.
A false signal can result when the voltage drops below its normally regulated level.
Alicat Portable Flow Meters and Gauges can also be powered by an optional AC/DC plug-in wall adaptor.
With the adaptor plugged into the ow meter, the battery is bypassed and the meter will operate solely
off the adaptor power supply.
