Before You Install Thank you for choosing to install a Max Machinery precision flow meter. To ensure the best experience please take a moment to read through this manual prior to installation. When you purchased this meter a flow engineer helped determine many of the factors that will be reviewed on the following pages. You may find it useful to fill out the form below and keep it in your files for reference.
Meter General Description The Max 210 Series Flow Meters are positive displacement piston type units capable of great accuracy over a wide range of flow rates and fluid viscosities. The four basic sizes of this series (213, 214, 215, 216) will measure flows from 1 cc/min to 25 gal/min. Various “O” ring and internal plating options are available to meet temperature and fluid compatibility requirements.
Transmitter General Description Max transmitters are designed to work with the entire family of Max Flow Meters to provide extremely precise flow measurement in a cost effective package. Different options of industrial housings or IP66 rated explosion proof enclosures, combined with a choice of one-part and two-part, high temperature designs with remote electronics cover a wide range of application environments – from the laboratory to harsh industrial processes.

Do’s & Don’ts DO: Install bypass plumbing around the flow meter. This is useful during start up for removing dirt and air from the plumbing or when measuring fluid that may freeze inside the line and need to be remelted before it can pass through the meter. It also allows removing the flow meter for service without disabling the system. DO: Be very careful to keep parts clean during installation or teardown.
Installation For optimum performance, install the flow meter in one of the configurations shown below. The following items and conditions should be considered: Line and Bypass Valves: These valves allow filter cleaning or flow meter removal without completely shutting the system down and draining the lines. They also allow system start up under conditions which could damage the meter; such as: air in the lines, high temperature materials, or initial line surges.
Operation Determine that the following parameters of your flow metering system are within the specifications for the specific 210 Series Meter being used: Maximum System Pressure (Specifications) Differential Pressure across meter (Pressure Drop Curves) Maximum Flow Rate (Pressure Drop Curves) Metered Fluid Temperature (Sales specification, transmitter specifications page 7) If the metered fluid is greater than 80°F (28°C) over ambient, see the “High Temperature Start Up” section below.
Electrical Installation - Wiring Removal note: The transmitter does not need to be removed from the flow meter for any field servicing or adjustments. Normally, the flow meter and transmitter are shipped back to the factory for calibration or service as a unit. If the transmitter needs to be removed from the flow meter for installation, be sure to retighten the transmitter snugly in order to ensure proper sensor alignment. Mechanical Installation 1.
Electrical Installation - Wiring Wiring FREQUENCY The electrical connector versions are pre-wired inside the transmitter and ready to accept a mating cable (available from the factory).
Troubleshooting Trouble Corrective Action No Flow through meter or high pressure drop across meter Solidified material blocking rotation Heat meter to melt material Debris blocking rotation Remove plumbing base, inspect crankshaft and piston rods for damage.
