a. Cover Removal and Installation Procedure

For FS1 models with NEMA 1 Enclosure

• Using a flathead screwdriver, loosen but do not

remove the two cover screws and remove the
cover (A).

• Place the cover on the flow switch sliding the slots

behind the two loose cover screws. Push the cover
down into the flow switch and using a flat blade
screwdriver, tighten the cover screws to a torque of
10 lb•in (1.13 N•m).

For FS1-W models with NEMA 4X Enclosure

• Using flathead screwdriver, unscrew the six cover

screws and remove cover.

• Place the electrical connection cover on the flow

switch and insert the six cover screws. Tighten the
screws to a torque of 10 lb•in (1.13 N•m).

STEP 3 - Electrical Installation

• To prevent electrical shock, turn off the electrical power before making electrical connections.

• To prevent an electrical fire or equipment damage, electrical wiring insulation must have a rating of 

167˚F (75˚C) if the liquid’s temperature exceeds 180˚F (82˚C).

• To prevent electrocution, when the electrical power is connected to the flow switch, do not touch the 

terminals.

• Make sure flow switch electrical cover is secured before turning on electric power.

Failure to follow this warning could cause property damage, personal injury or death.

WARNING

b. Electrical Conduit Connection

• Connect electric conduit to flow switch electrical enclosure.

• Follow accepted electrical practices when installing fittings 

and making connections.

• Refer to and follow local codes and standards when
