User Instruction Manual

Brand: CERTEON | Model: K24

1. Product Overview

The K24 Electronic Turbine Flow Meter is a compact digital flow measurement instrument designed for monitoring the flow rate and cumulative volume of low-viscosity liquids. It is suitable for diesel, gasoline, kerosene, methanol, and water applications. The device uses a turbine sensing mechanism combined with an electronic display to provide real-time flow rate and totalized volume readings.

This product is intended for industrial, commercial, and agricultural liquid transfer systems where accurate and repeatable flow measurement is required.

3. Setup and Installation

Proper installation is crucial for accurate and reliable operation of your K24 Flow Meter.

  1. Preparation:
    • Ensure that the selected thread size and connection type (G1/2, G3/4, G1; External/Internal Thread/Insertion) match your pipeline system.
    • Confirm that the flow direction corresponds to the arrow marking on the meter body.
    • Install appropriate sealing elements (e.g., PTFE tape, gaskets) to prevent leakage at all connections.
    • The display unit is non-waterproof; install it in a dry and protected environment, away from direct moisture or spray.
  2. Installation:
    • Install the flow meter securely into the pipeline using the selected connection type.
    • Open the upstream valve slowly to allow liquid to fill the meter and remove any trapped air from the system.
    • Avoid sudden pressure surges during startup.
    • Ensure the operating temperature and pressure remain within the specified limits (≤60°C and ≤0.6 MPa).

4. Operation

The K24 Flow Meter features a clear LCD display for easy data reading and simple controls.

  1. Data Reading:
    • The LCD screen displays instantaneous flow rate (e.g., L/min) and cumulative volume (e.g., Liters).
    • The display also shows single accumulation, total accumulation, and allows access to settings/review.
  2. Controls:
    • Use the RESET button to clear the single cumulative value if required.
    • The CAL button (or SET button) may be used for calibration adjustment according to system requirements. Calibration procedures should only be performed by qualified personnel.
    • The MENU button allows access to settings and review functions.

5. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and accuracy of your K24 Flow Meter, follow these maintenance guidelines:

  • Storage: Store the product in a dry, well-ventilated environment away from direct sunlight and corrosive substances.
  • Cleaning: Clean the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use aggressive solvents, as they may damage the display or housing.
  • Long-term Storage: If the meter is not used for an extended period, remove the battery to prevent potential leakage and damage to internal components.
  • Inspection: Periodically inspect all threaded connections and seals for signs of wear, damage, or leakage. Replace worn components as necessary.
  • Calibration: Calibration should be verified regularly according to your operating frequency and local quality control requirements to maintain measurement accuracy.

6. User Tips

  • For stable and accurate volume readings, ensure the operating pressure in your pipeline system remains within the specified limits (up to 0.6 MPa).
  • Always check for proper sealing and connection tightness to prevent leaks, especially when dealing with flammable liquids.

7. Safety Warnings and Precautions

WARNING!

  • This flow meter is intended for use with flammable liquids such as diesel and gasoline. Ensure proper grounding and avoid use in explosive atmospheres unless the full system complies with ATeX requirements.
  • Do not use near open flames, sparks, or high-temperature surfaces.
  • Ensure all electrical components are properly sealed and protected from fuel vapor exposure.
  • Improper installation may result in leakage, fire hazard, or equipment damage.
  • Keep out of reach of children.
  • Proper disposal: Follow WEEE directives for electronic waste.

Precautions:

  • This device is suitable only for low-viscosity, non-corrosive liquids compatible with 304 stainless steel and PPS plastic.
  • Do not exceed the maximum working pressure of 0.6 MPa.
  • Do not exceed the maximum operating temperature of 60°C.
  • The display unit is not waterproof and must be protected from rain, moisture, and direct water spray.
  • Avoid strong vibration, impact, or mechanical stress during operation.
  • Battery replacement must be performed in a dry environment. Use only the specified battery type.
  • Ensure that no air enters the pipeline during measurement, as this may affect accuracy.
