Step 3: Set up Halogen sensor
To install and purge the flow cell, you will perform these tasks:
▪
Learn about the side stream sensor
▪
▪
Properly position the flow cell
▪
Connect devices to the M12 connector
USING THE HALOGEN SIDE STREAM SENSOR
A typical installation consists of the flow cell version of the sensor and the 120VAC display/controller. (To learn

The
Halogen side stream sensor
is a compact device that connects to a drinking water source using ¼" ID tubing.
It requires very little flow and is unaffected by changes in the flow rate; however, long tubing may delay
readings. The sensor is enclosed in a clear acrylic flow cell designed to purge air. The inlet pressure should be
limited to 60 PSI. The flow rate can be from 0.1 LPM to 1.0 LPM.
The sensor is usually connected to a potable water line, as shown below:
The pressure-reducing valve is needed if the supply water line pressure exceeds 60 PSI/4 Bar. The flow cell is
equipped with ¼"

(PTC) fittings on both the inlet and the outlet. A short length of
tubing is supplied for each connector.
