Installation

Piping Conditions. Installing the meter with a length of End Connections. The meter comes with Banjo™ union-
straight pipe at least two times the diameter upstream and type flange connections for ease in servicing the meter. To
one diameters downstream is highly recommended. Some connect these to piping ends, a variety of kits are available

NOTE: Above installation instructions are for WMP101/104-200 (2”) only. The WMP101/104-100 (1”) is provided with
intergrated NPT female threaded ends.

Position. This is an all position meter which can be installed either vertically or horizontally, register up, down or angled.
However, entrained air or solids may make some positions preferable to others. See the position diagram for guidance.

 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS, CABLE CONNECTIONS and OPERATION

Electrical Connections

WMP104. The WMP104 is battery-powered totally self-con- WMP101. A connector is provided on the outside of the
tained and does not require any electrical connections. WMP101. If the output cable has been ordered, follow the
diagram below to make connections to it. To connect to the
meter, plug the connector in and hand tighten the retaining
threads. A cable with connector can also be ordered from
any Turck sensor dealer, part no. RK4.5T-6/S618 (6 meter
length) or equivalent. Follow the diagram to make connec-
tions. If you are using the pulse output, connect power
first and determine that the meter is working properly by
observing the display. Then connect the pulse output.

CABLE CONNECTIONS

Gray: Pin 5 = Ground

White: Pin 4 = (–) Pulse
Blue: Pin 3 = (+) Pulse
Black: Pin 2 = (–) Power
Brown: Pin 1 = (+) Power
Shield Drain Wire

Operation

Grounding (WMP101). For best performance, especially

in chemically noisy environments, the gray ground wire
and the bare drain wire should be connected together and
to a good earth ground as close to the meter as possible.
Metal pipe and fittings in contact with the fluid should also
be bonded to the same earth ground with corrosion-resis-
tant connections.

Display. The display reads flow rate and accumulated to-

tal, in the units for which it was ordered. The top line is
total, the bottom line is rate, and indicators give the units
(ac-ft, GPM for instance.) Empty or partially-full pipe is au-
tomatically detected and is indicated by a reading of “
– EP – “.

Battery. Estimated battery life is one to ten years depend-

ing on usage, application, and power options selected dur-
ing purchase. On the battery-powered WMP104 there is a
low-battery indicator (“low bat”) when the battery voltage
drops below a certain point. Batteries should be changed
within four weeks of the appearance of this indicator.
