5.2 Installation location
The flow sensor FLOWCON can be mounted directly onto the discharge valve of a motor-
driven pump. With solenoid-driven dosing pumps the direct mounting onto the discharge
valve is not permitted, since disturbances may be generated by the stray field of the drive
solenoid. A minimum distance of 0 cm is always to be kept between the FLOWCON and
the dosing pump. Ferrous objects like tools could likewise affect the function. Therefore
a minimum distance of 10 cm should be maintained. The flow sensor must always be
mounted in a straight vertical position. Since the pulsating discharge of the dosing pump
is being evaluated, pulse dampening due to orifices or pulsation dampeners must be
avoided. Therefore the use of tubing longer than 1 m should be avoided therefore
IMPORTANT!
At the application of a hose it has to be paid attention to that no loops occur between do-
sing pump and FLOWCON! Due to their effect , developing air and gas pockets can impair
the function of the FLOWCON.

The float () inside the FLOWCON sensor is spring-loaded from design.
NOTICE!
When thin media (up to 20 mPas / 20 cps) is metered in very small portions the spring
should be removed.
ATTENTION!
Especially with the application of the Minidos A3 and Minidos A5 must the spring be
removed in any case!
ATTENTION!
The orifice screw (3) is to be tightened by hand only! Tools must not be used!
