FLOW

 

SWITCH

 

CALIBRATION

 

Step

 

Eight

 

Set

 

Points:

 

If

 

the

 

preset

 

factory

 

calibration

 

is

 

not

 

adequate

 

for

 

your

 

application,

 

follow

 

the

 

calibration

 

steps

 

listed

 

below.

  

Note:

 

the

 

switch's

 

internal

 

LED

 

will

 

be

 

on

 

when

 

the

 

switch

 

detects

 

no

flow

 

and

 

will

 

off

 

when

 

the

 

switch

 

detects

 

flow.

 

1.

 

Install

 

the

 

fitting

 

and

 

flow

 

switch

 

as

 

described

 

in

 

the

 

Installation

 

section

 

of

 

this

 

manual.

   

Turn

 

the

 

flow

 

switch

 

and

 

controller

 

power

 

on

 

and

 

adjust

 

the

 

flow

 

rate

 

to

 

the

 

application

 

setting.

  

If

 

the

 

medium

 

to

 

be

 

sensed

 

is

 

likely

 

to

 

be

 

subject

 

to

 

high

 

temperature

 

variations,

 

the

 

flow

 

switch

 

should

 

be

 

set

 

at

 

the

 

highest

 

normal

 

temperature

 

likely

 

to

 

be

 

encountered.

 

2.

 

Locate

 

the

 

potentiometer

 

knob

 

at

 

the

 

top

 

of

 

the

 

flow

 

switch.

  

The

 

red

 

LED

 

is

 

visible

 

through

 

the

 

potentiometer.

   

(If

 

the

 

LED

 

is

 

on,

 

slowly

 

adjust

 

the

 

potentiometer

 

counterclockwise,

 

with

 

a

 

small

 

flat

 

head

 

screwdriver

 

until

 

the

 

LED

 

turns

 

off.)

   

The

 

adjustment

 

is

 

a

 

single

 

turn

 

270°

 

potentiometer.

  

The

 

initial

 

response

 

time

 

of

 

the

 

flow

 

switch

 

after

 

adjustment

 

is

 

1

 

to

 

10

 

seconds.

   

Adjust

 

the

 

potentiometer

 

in

 

slow

 

increments

 

and

 

wait

 

for

 

the

 

response.

  

If

 

the

 

LED

 

is

 

off,

 

slowly

 

adjust

 

the

 

potentiometer

 

clockwise

 

until

 

the

 

light

 

turns

 

on.

  

Then

 

turn

 

the

 

potentiometer

 

counterclockwise

 

to

 

bring

 

the

 

LED

 

off

 

at

 

a

 

reliable

 

setting.

   

Remember,

 

adjust

 

the

 

potentiometer

 

in

 

slow

 

increments

 

and

 

wait

 

for

 

the

 

response.

  

3.

 

Verify

 

that

 

the

 

new

 

calibration

 

is

 

correct

 

by

 

lowering

 

the

 

system

 

flow

 

rate

 

below

 

the

 

set

 

point

 

and

 

check

 

to

 

see

 

that

 

the

 

red

 

LED

 

turns

 

on.

  

Then

 

increase

 

the

 

flow

 

rate

 

above

 

the

 

set

 

point

 

and

 

verify

 

that

 

the

 

red

 

LED

 

turns

 

off

 

accordingly.
