Installation
Installation :
The FSW may be installed in a pipe using a
“
T
”
connection (see fig. 1) or inserted directly into
the pipe (see fig. 2). The site might need to adapt
the installation so that it conforms with the
following recommendations.
Flow Switch with
“ T ” connection
The FSW is not affected by its fixed position so it
may be installed at any angle around the pipe.
However we recommend that when the pipe is in a
horizontal position the FSW should be installed on
the side, as long as the tip of the probe sits within
the middle of the pipe
(See Fig. 2).
When the pipe is in a vertical position, the FSW
should be installed only when the water flow is
upward (See Fig. 3).
Care should be taken when installing the FSW that
the probe extends to the center of the pipe away
from the internal wall and is fully immersed into the
flow ( Fig. 4 and 5 incorrect,
Fig.1 and 2 are
correct).
In pipes with smaller diameters use an adaptor to
enlarge the diameter of the pipe so that the sensor
can be properly installed (See Fig. 6). If the
installation is not correct the FSW
’ s performance
may be affected.
