Diivoo Water Flow Meter DI-WT14M Instruction Manual

Introduction

This manual provides detailed instructions for the setup, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of your Diivoo Water Flow Meter, model DI-WT14M. This device is designed to accurately measure water consumption and flow rate for various outdoor applications, including garden hose watering and RV water tank filling.

Setup

1. Components Overview

The Diivoo Water Flow Meter consists of a main unit with an LCD screen, a durable brass inlet, and a detachable panel for easy reading. It also includes a quick connect adapter and an internal filter.

2. Battery Installation

The water flow meter requires 1 Lithium Metal battery (included). To install, gently detach the display unit from the main body. Insert the battery according to the polarity markings. Reattach the display unit.

3. Connecting the Meter

The meter easily connects to a standard 3/4-inch garden hose or hose nozzle. Ensure the flow direction arrow on the meter aligns with the direction of water flow. For optimal performance and to prevent leaks, it is crucial to use Teflon tape on the threads and ensure the internal filter is properly installed and clean.

• Teflon Tape: Wrap Teflon tape around the threads of your faucet or hose before attaching the meter. This helps create a watertight seal.
• Filter Installation: Ensure the small filter screen is placed inside the inlet connection of the meter to prevent debris from entering and affecting accuracy.
• Secure Tightening: Hand-tighten all connections securely. Avoid over-tightening, which can damage threads, but ensure they are snug enough to prevent leaks.

Operating Modes

The Diivoo Water Flow Meter offers four distinct measurement modes to suit various monitoring needs. Use the orange button on the front of the device to navigate and control functions.

1. Mode Selection

Press the orange button to cycle through the following modes:

• Real-time Flow Rate (AUTO Mode): Displays the current water flow rate (e.g., L/min or Gal/min).
• Real-time Water Volume (CONSUMPTION Mode): Shows the single water consumption for the current watering session.
• Average Daily Water Flow (AVG Mode): Provides the average water consumption over the last 7 days.
• Total Flow (TOTAL Mode): Accumulates the total water consumption over time.

2. Unit Conversion and Data Reset

• Toggle Units (Gallons/Liters): In AUTO mode, press and hold the orange button for 3 seconds to switch between liters (L/min) and gallons (Gal/min).
• Reset Data: In CONSUMPTION, AVG, or AUTO modes, press and hold the orange button for 3 seconds to reset the displayed data for that specific mode.
• Automatic Hibernation: The LCD screen will automatically turn off after 1 minute of no operation or water flow to conserve battery life.

Calibration

The Diivoo Water Flow Meter boasts a high accuracy of ±5%. For situations requiring even greater precision or to compensate for long-term use, manual calibration is available.

• Manual Calibration: In TOTAL mode, press and hold the orange button for 10 seconds. This allows you to fine-tune the meter's accuracy within a range of -30% to +30%. Follow the on-screen prompts to adjust the calibration value.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and accuracy of your water flow meter.

• Clean the Filter: Periodically check the internal filter screen for any accumulated dirt or debris. A clogged filter can restrict water flow and affect measurement accuracy. Remove the filter and rinse it under clean water.
• Check Connections: Ensure all connections remain securely tightened to prevent leaks. Replace worn-out washers or O-rings as needed.
• Storage: During freezing temperatures, disconnect the meter and store it indoors to prevent damage from ice expansion.
