The  Rheotherm  Flow  Controller  is  an  addition  to  a  standard  Rheotherm  Flow  Meter.  It  uses  a 
calibrated flow rate measurement to control an adjustable valve to the desired setpoint. The valve 
and  sensor  calibration  will  be  sized  to  your  specific  application,  with  the  desired  set  point,  if 
specified, near the center of the calibration range. The setpoint is adjustable with a 10:1 turndown 
ratio or larger by request. It is recommended to keep the setpoint within 10% to 90% of the range.

PRECAUTIONS  

!!  CAUTION:

  

Throughout the manual this caution notation indicates 
that failure to execute the accompanying instructions 
may cause the instrument or external equipment to 
malfunction. 

 
!!  WARNING:

   A warning indicates that failure to execute the 

accompanying instructions may cause permanent 
damage to the instrument or external equipment. 

 

1.

 

Use proper input power — All Flow Controllers use 24v DC Power 

 
2. 

Use reasonable care in handling the sensor.  Disassemble valve carefully for 
cleaning 

 

TU or TUL — Twisting or bending can damage the sensor.  The flow tubes are thin-
walled tubing.  Do not rotate the electronics box or try to disassemble the sensor 
body tube fittings (at each end of the shell). 

 
3. 

Check the sensor maximum temperature rating — Do not operate a sensor at or 
subject it to a temperature above its specified limit.
