1. INTRODUCTION
This manual refers to FLOW MASTER volumetric flow device.
You can find additional copies and newer revisions of this document from our website http://www.dropsa.com. Alternatively
contact one of our Sales Offices.
This User and Maintenance Manual contains important information on health and safety issues for the personnel.
It is recommended to attentively read this manual and carefully keep it in good condition so that it is always available to
personnel requiring to consult it.
2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FLOW MASTER is a volumetric flow meter, which constantly monitors lubrication.
Flow meter precise monitoring, without calibrations or adjustments, is due to volumetric measurements not dependent on
lubricant temperature or viscosity.
FLOWMASTER is a modular system consisting of two elements:
Base
Metering module
MODULAR SYSTEM
The base is common to all size modules, which are also interchangeable. The modular construction makes it possible to built
assys (base and metering module) of 20 modules or more.
OPERATING PRINCIPLE
A “satellite”, which rotates with a fixed orbital movement, is operated by the liquid passage through the metering module. An
inductive sensor picks up each orbital movement and transmits a signal to an electronic reader. The operator can read the
output of the metering module in litres/min or in rev/min directly from the FACT 2000 device-display or from a PC monitor.
VISUAL INDICATION OF THE FLOW OF LIQUID
A “satellite”, built in the module body, rotating with an orbital movement indicates the fluid velocity. The flow output is neither
reduced nor interrupted even if the “satellite” stops.
3. PRODUCT - MACHINE IDENTIFICATION
Machine identification red label is located on the front side of the unit and contains machine serial number.

6. UNPACKING AND INSTALLING THE MACHINE
6.1 UNPACKING
Once a suitable location has been found to install the unit remove the machine from the packaging. Check the device has not
been damaged during transportation or storage. No particular disposal procedures are necessary, as packaging materials are not
dangerous or polluting.
6.2 INSTALLING
Install the flow meter on a proper support surface, free from impediments which could interfere with machine well functioning.
WARNING: All the electric, electronic components, reservoirs and base structure must be grounded.
The stainless steel option makes the FLOW MASTER suitable for applications in harsh, damp or corrosive environments.
- Connect inlet (par. 11.3, fig.1, pos. J) and outlet (par. 11.3, fig.1, pos. K) piping.
- Connect the inductive sensor cables (and the motor cables, for the motorized option) to the electronic control and
monitoring equipment terminal strip (see FACT 2000 User and Maintenance Manual).
To assemble flow meters in batteries, follow the instructions below:
1) Unscrew the two grub screws (par. 11.3, fig.1, pos.1) of the next flow meter.
2) Tighten the two screws (par. 11.3, fig.1, pos.2) to the previous flow meter. Pay attention to the O-Ring correct position
to prevent damages during assembling.
3) Screw again the grub screws (par. 11.3, fig.1, pos.1) to the previous flow meter.
The above operations must be carried out for all the flow meters being assembled.
6.3 TECHNICAL INDICATIONS
It is recommended to use:
- Structural steel piping of proper dimensions
- Grip-ring pipe fittings (To assembly: block pipe fittings and tighten pipes using a vice)
- An inlet filter with a proper filter grade (not over 90µ), Dropsa part N°3130309

If the machine is operated for the first time:
1. Decrease oil pumping unit pressure and ensure that all the connections are correct and there are no leaks.
2. Increase pressure progressively to suit individual flow requirements.
7. PUMP OPERATIONS
MANUAL OPTION
Output adjusting of the manual FLOWMASTER is easy: through the use of two needle valves the output adjustment can be
coarsely (par. 11.3, fig.1, pos. X) or finely adjusted (par. 11.3, fig.1, pos. Y).
To coarsely adjust:
1. Unlock the locknut of the needle valve.
2. Close the fine adjustment valve (par. 11.3, fig.1, pos. Y), by turning clockwise with a M3 allen spanner.
3. Increase or decrease the output by turning counterclockwise or clockwise, with a M5 allen spanner, the coarse
adjustment valve (par. 11.3, fig.1, pos. X).
It is advisable to make the fine adjustment only after the coarse adjustment, as follows:
- Increase or decrease the output by turning counterclockwise or clockwise, with a M3 allen spanner, the fine adjustment
valve (par. 11.3, fig.1, pos. Y) to suit individual flow requirements.
The fine adjustment valve (par. 11.3, fig.1, pos. Y) only is used for the size “A” module.
7.1 MOTORIZED OPTION
To adjust motorized FLOWMASTER output:
- Close the fine adjustment valve (par. 11.3, fig.1, pos. Y) and let the electronic control equipment start automatically in line
with the setting data.
8. TROUBLESHOOTING
The following diagnostic table indicates the main anomalies, which may be encountered, the probable causes and possible
solutions.
If you cannot solve the problem, do not attempt to disassemble parts of the machine but contact the Engineering Department of
DROPSA S.p.A., pointing out anomaly details.
9. MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE
FLOW MASTER has been designed and constructed to require a minimum of maintenance.
For an easy maintenance, it is advised to assemble the machine in an adequate location.
- To facilitate maintenance tasks without interrupting the operation of the machine, it is recommended to provide the flow
meter with an input ball valve to disconnect parts of the system.
- Periodically check pipe-joints to detect possible leaks.
- Always keep the machine unit clear to readily detect possible leaks.
- Periodically (once a year or when required) replace the refilling filter, part n°: 3130139.

The machine does not require any special tool for check or maintenance tasks. However, it is recommended the use only of
appropriate and in good conditions tooling, protective devices (gloves) and clothing (626/94 and DPR 547/55) to avoid injury to
persons or damage to machine parts.
WARNING: Before any maintenance procedure, be sure that power, hydraulic and pneumatic supplies are off.
10. DISPOSAL
During maintenance or disposal of the machine care should be taken to properly dispose of environmentally sensitive items.
Refer to local regulations in force in your area.
When disposing of this unit, it is important to ensure that the identification label and all the other relative documents are also
destroyed.

13. HANDLING AND TRANSPORTATION
Given the low weight and small dimensions of the machine, it is not necessary the use of material handling equipment.
Prior to shipping, the machine is carefully packed in cardboard packing.
During transportation and storage, pay attention to the side on the cardboard packing.
On receipt, check that the packing is not damaged and then, storage the machine in a dry location.
14. OPERATING HAZARDS
It is necessary to read carefully about the instructions and the risks involved in the use of lubrication components. The
operator must know machine functioning and dangers through the user manual.
Power supply
Any type of intervention must not be carried out before the unplugging of the machine from the power supply. Make sure that
no one can start it up again during the intervention.
All the installed electric and electronic equipment, reservoirs and basic components must be grounded.
Inflammability
The lubricant generally used in lubrication systems is not normally inflammable. However, it is advised to avoid contact with
extremely hot substances or naked flames.
Pressure
Prior to any intervention, check the absence of residual pressure in any branch of the lubricant circuit as it may cause oil sprays
when disassembling components or fittings.
Noise and vibrations
FLOW MASTER does not produce excessive noise, less than 70 dB(A).
15. PRECAUTIONS
No particular operating hazards characterize the FLOW MASTER, except for the following precautions:
Operator’s contact with lubricant during maintenance tasks:
The operator must be provided with suitable personal protective clothing and devices.
Use of incompatible lubricant:
MAIN NO COMPATIBLE FLUIDS
Fluids
Dangers
Lubricants containing abrasive components
Premature wear of pump
Lubricants containing silicon
Pump failure
Petrol solvents inflammable liquids
Fire explosion seal damage
Corrosive products
Pump damage - danger to persons
Water
Pump oxidization
Food Products
Contamination of the product
CAUTION: During storage, machine components can withstand temperatures 20 °C ÷ +60 °C (-4 °F ÷ +140 F°).
However, in order to avoid damages, machine starting should occur at a minimum temperature of +5 °C (+41
°F).
