Planning for the CI-2005 Liquid and Chemical Flow Meter
The CI-2005 meter is designed to accurately measure a liquid flow rate and totalize the volume of liquid flow. By choosing the appropriate model from a selection of more than 120 available flow rates, flows can be accurately measured from 2 CCM up to 30 LPM. The totalizer can be started by the user at any point and will accumulate flow until reset.
Choosing Your Flow Rate
When
choosing the flow rate of the CI-2005 meter that you will purchase, you
should determine the maximum flow rate to be measured. The CI-2005 has
more than 120 available flow rates. The meter will be scaled for you so
that the analog output will show the maximum flow rate at 20 mA or 5
volts depending on your selection.

Choosing Your Optional Laminar Flow Element Re-Ranging Kit
If
you purchase the optional re-ranging kit, you can quickly, easily and
economically extend the range of your meter. The re-ranging kit
consists of three laminar flow elements chosen from the wide selection
of more than 120 available, along with instructions, removal and
installation tools and pre-loaded software which you can quickly access
on the menu screen. Re-ranging takes about 15 minutes depending on your
installation. Go To Re-ranging Page
Choosing Your Optional Fluid Connectors
The
CI-2005 meter will have 1/2” NPT internal threads for low and middle
flow groups and 3/4” NPT internal threads for the high flow group. The
optional fluid connector kit includes polypropylene fittings and
tubing. The low and middle flow kit includes fittings and tubing for
1/2”, 3/8”, and 1/4”. The high flow kit includes fittings for 3/4”,
5/8”, and 1/2”. Two of each connector and 10 feet of each size of
tubing are included with each kit. Go to Fluid Connector Page
Choosing Your Optional Power and I/O Cables
The CI-2005 meter comes with a standard CI-2005 Meter I/O cable
which includes a 110 volt, 60 Hz ungrounded wall adapter with an output
to the meter of 15 volts DC, and flying leads for one analog output and
static ground. If your installation has a power source different from
the above, if you need to access more of the available I/O, or if you need a custom plug attached to your cable, you can choose from our wide selection of optional power and I/O cables.

Ensuring Chemical Compatibility
The CI-2005 comes with various types of flow bodies, laminar flow elements, connectors, and sensor protecting elastomers to ensure chemical compatibility. Go To Chemical Compatibility Page
Ordering the CI-2005 Liquid and Chemical Flow Meter
Follow these steps to choose a complete CI-2005 Meter package:
1. Choose your flow rate from one of the three groups (click on a group to view the complete list of flow rates within the group).
a. Low Flow Group – 30 different flow rate selections from 2 ccm to 100 ccm
b. Middle Flow Group – 80 different flow rate selections from 100 ccm to 5 LPM
c. High Flow Group – 15 different flow rate selections from 5 LPM to 30 LPM
2. Choose an optional Re-Ranging Kit by picking three additional flow rates within the same group as your primary flow rate.
3. Choose an optional Fluid Connector Kit which matches the NPT size of the range that you have chosen.
4. Choose an optional Power and I/O Cable from the list of available cables for the CI-2005 Meter.
5. Make a list of your specific System Application Conditions so that your Bowman customer service representative can better assist you to ensure that your meter will be right for the application.
6. Call your Bowman customer service representative and place your order.
