Prior to mounting the LRW™ sensor on the Full-opening Ball Valve, you must determine the insertion length required.
1.
Lay the LRW™ sensor on the ground or a table.
2.
Loosen the Socket Cap Screws, using a
3/8" Allen wrench on the locking collar. This will
allow the LRW™ shaft to slide through the seal
housing.

MAIN LINE INSTALLATION INSERTABLE MODELS
The KAM
®
LRW sensor should be installed
according to FIG. 3-3. A full-opening ball valve is
used to isolate the LRW
®
sensor from the pipeline
during installation or removal. The seal housing of
the LRW
®
sensor allows the probe to be inserted
and removed from the pipe under pressure and
flow conditions. It is the user’s responsibility to
ensure that the LRW
®
sensor be placed at the most
representative point within the flow profile (see flow
recommendations on page 5 of this manual). The
LRW
®
sensor should be inserted so that the window
of the probe is located in the center half of the
diameter of the pipeline.
NOTE: If line pressure exceeds 100 psi, use a KAM
®
IT Insertion Tool when installing/removing the KAM
®
LRW
®
sensor.

CALCULATING THE REQUIRED INSERTION LENGTH
3.
Pull the LRW™ back through the seal housing
until the LRW probe is retracted inside the seal
housing. FIG. 3-4 and FIG.3-5.
NOTE: The antennas on the LRW sensor probe
won't necessarily end up all the way inside the
seal housing.
4.
Retighten the Socket Cap Screws on the locking
collar. This will prevent the LRW™ shaft from
sliding and the probe from getting damaged
during mounting.
