The battery life is completely dependent on the application and use of the meter. Please refer to the instruction manual of your specific device for an estimate of the battery life to be expected.
What is “phantom flow” and how can it be eliminated?
“Phantom flow” refers to a situation where flow shows up on the electronics display even when there is no flow going through the line. This sometimes occurs with electromagnetic flow meters when there is electrical noise interference coming from another device. This issue can usually be resolved with grounding modifications.
How can I determine whether it is the sensor or the controller that is not working properly?
For mechanical meters, a voltmeter can typically be used to check for pulse output. See this video for how this should be done. For the insertion magmeter, the pulse output is too fast to be seen with a voltmeter, this is why there is an LED indicator light which indicates whether the meter is sensing …

How do I determine my K-factor?
If you know the model number of your meter, please use our online K-factor Calculator to determine your k-factor.
Why does insertion depth matter so much when using an insertion meter?
Seametrics insertion meters are designed to be installed at a very specific location based on fluid dynamic principles. In order to function properly, the insertion meter must be placed in the location where the flow profile will stay most consistent during fluctuating flow ranges. To learn more about this concept, please see this video.
Where can I find a wiring diagram for my specific equipment?
Check our Wiring Diagrams by Components page for most wiring diagrams. If your configuration is not found, please reference the instruction manuals for your components or contact your local distributor.
