Shielding
Be sure to utlise a shield within the wire to ensure a quality signal.
Hall effect meters are susceptible to noise from induced currents in cables.
A commonly available signal cable is available from Jaycar as WD1540. 3 Cores are required leaving a spare core.
Consult the manual from your meter for further information and wiring.
Calibration
High quality meters (such as Flomec) come pre calibrated.
The calibration vales published can be applied directly to new installations with a high confidence on less than 1% accuracy out of the box
