• 

Shut off foam tank supply valve. 

 

• 

Open bypass valve to drain foam lines and use suitable containers to collect residual foam concentrate. 

 

• 

Protect eyes an

d skin from foam concentrate per manufacturer’s Material Safety Data Sheet or MSDS. 

 

 

 

 

1.

 

Carefully disconnect the wire harness from the old foam flow sensor. 

 

Connect the NEW foam flow sensor to the wire harness. 

 

Apply system power and verify sensor diagnostic LED is off. 

 

Touch end of sensor to brass housing → LED should light. 

 

Disconnect the wire harness from the new sensor. 

 

Remove system power from the FoamLogix system. 

 

(This test verifies that the new sensor is operating correctly.) 

2. Disconnect both hoses from the 3-way bypass valve. 
3.  Remove the four (4) nuts on the brass flowmeter assembly with the two 7/16” 

wrenches. 

4. Remove the two (2) nuts on the bracket bottom with the 7/16” wrench. 
5.

 

Remove the sensor side cover of the flowmeter assembly. 

 

Inspect o-ring inside the cover for damage or cuts. 

6.

 

With the 5/16” wrench, loosen the small retaining nut on the foam flow sensor, and 
unscrew the sensor by hand. 

 

Depending on the return instructions provided by the dealer or manufacturer, it may 

be necessary to return the old sensor.  If not, then the old sensor, nut, and seal washer 
can be discarded. 

7.

 

The foam flow sensor packaging includes two (2) nuts and two (2) lock washers.  Only 
one nut is required for the remaining steps. 

STEPS 3-4 

STEP 2

 

 

Remove six nuts 

Remove hoses 

Remove wire harness 

STEP 1

 

REPLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS

 

SAFETY INFORMATION

 

• 

Remove system power from the FoamLogix system and relieve any trapped pressure.
