INSTALLATION
d
EscriPtion
Install the flow sensor and pressure sensor in a location that will be easy to perform
periodic maintenance. Install shut-off valves upstream and downstream of the
sensors to aid installation and maintenance. Install a strainer or other filtering device
upstream of the flow and pressure sensors.
The corresponding supply and return pipes must be integral to the same flow rate as
measured by the flow meter. The flow meter must be installed on the return pipe and
the pressure sensor on the supply pipe. The sensors can be installed in a horizontal
or vertical position, following the flow direction indicated by the arrow on the body.
The first length of straight of pipe connected to the flow sensor must be a
minimum of 3” long prior to a bend for the sensor to register a proper reading.

Recommended Fluid Concentration
Heating: 0-50%
Cooling: 0-30%
Fluids other than water must factor that the Kinematic viscosity less than or
equal to 2 mm2/s (cSt). Heat measurement calculations performance will be
affected by the viscosity.
No pipe tape/dope
should be used on
threads.
Sensor can be mounted
Vetically or horizontally
within a 180 arc.
Sensor CANNOT be
mounted pointing below
this line or downwards.
