Product catalog summary
Part Numbers and Specifications
The document provides detailed specifications for various models of Diesel Flow Meters (DFM) by AIRMAR. Each model is identified by a part number and varies in flow range, weight, and thread type. The flow meters are available in single and dual chamber variations, with options for special orders including flange mounts, LCD displays, and brass housings. Accuracy is noted to vary based on flow rate ratios.

Common Specifications
All models share common specifications such as a maximum pressure of 25 bar, kinematic viscosity range of 1.5 – 6.0 mm²/s, and a maximum pressure drop of 0.2 bar at maximum flow. They operate within a temperature range of -40 to 85°C and have an IP54 water ingress protection rating.

SmartFlex™ Diesel Flow Meters
AIRMAR's SmartFlex™ DFMs are highlighted as innovative solutions for the marine industry, integrating with SmartBoat Modules for enhanced precision and efficiency. These meters support a wide range of flow rates from 1 to 4000 liters per hour.

Installation Guide
The installation guide specifies that DFMs are to be used with AIRMAR SmartBoat Modules. Key installation requirements include ensuring compatibility with diesel fuel, proper filtering, correct flow direction, and appropriate mounting orientation. NMEA 2000 cabling is used for power, and specific accessory cables are required for connection to CES modules. Direct connection to a NMEA 2000 backbone is not supported.

Mounting Orientation
The document provides diagrams for correct and incorrect mounting orientations to ensure proper installation and operation of the DFMs.
