PROGRAMMING USING PULSE OUTPUT TURBINE FLOW METERS
Each turbine flow meter is shipped with either a K factor value or frequency data. If frequency data is provided, the data must
be converted to a K factor before programming the monitor. K factor information, when supplied, can usually be found on the
neck of the flow meter or stamped on the flow meter body. The K factor represents the number of pulses per unit of volume.
The K factor will be needed to program the monitor readout.

sizes that range from 3⁄8 inch up to 1 inch. Be sure to use the correct bore size or the meter will report incorrect flows
and totals.
