Installation Overview: 

 

 

 

  Installation Step 1: Mount and Wire All System Components 

 

 

 

 

 

Warning: 

It is up to the system designer to appropriately handle the open circuit 

condition of the stow signal. In the open circuit mode there is no source to turn off the 
stow signal load, which may lead to erroneous signal indications if not handled properly. 
The stow signal is capable of sinking 250mA maximum. Exceeding this value may blow 
the internal fuse and the stow output will no longer be able to provide a ground. 

 

 

Important: 

Most test lights draw in excess of 1A. 

 

 

Monitor Mounting – 

 

3”-150# Flat Faced Flange

: Attach 3”-150# ANSI pattern 

companion flange to water supply pipe so that the bolt 
pattern will allow the monitor to be installed in the straight 
ahead position. Alignment is correct when the straight 
ahead position is centered between adjacent flange holes. 
Attach monitor inlet flange to companion flange on water 
supply pipe with four (4) 2½” 5/8-11 UNC grade 5, 
stainless steel bolts & nuts. Seal flange joint with gasket, or 
suitable flange sealant. Most wafer type butterfly valves 
have seats that serve as flange gaskets, and separate 
gaskets or sealant is not required. Apply Loctite 242 or 
equivalent to bolt threads before tightening nuts. Torque to 
60-70 ft-lbs. 

 

 

 

 

Warning: 

The piping must be able to withstand a horizontal reaction force of at least 

900 lbs at the height of the discharge eblow, and from any angle of rotation that the 
monitor is capable of turning. Serious injury to personnel and equipment can result from 
improper installation. 

 

 

 

 

Warning: 

When installing the monitor on a raised face companion flange, it is critical 

that the bolts be tightened uniformly to prevent misalignment of the monitor relative to 
the flange or valve. If the monitor becomes misaligned, the base flange will fracture and 
fail when the bolts on the “high” side are tightened.
