Pull shaft back until the probe is all the way in the seal housing and tighten the socket cap
screws on the locking collar. This will prevent the OFD™ shaft from sliding and the probe from getting damaged
during mounting.
Measure the distance (D1) from the outside diameter of main pipe to the end of the connection where the OFD™
sensor is going to be installed. FIG. 3-5.

Calculate the insertion distance for Flanged Seal Housing (If you have a MNPT Seal Housing, proceed to
step 9):
Total Insertion Distance (TID) = D1 + Pipe Wall Thi Seal Thickness -1/4"
Example for D1= 19", Pipe WT=3/8", and Seal Thickness is 1/8"
TID=19 + 3/8 + 1/8 – 1/4 or TID=19 + .375 + .125 – .25
TID= 19 1/4" or 19.25"

Bolt or screw the OFD™ sensor to the valve or designated installation location.
(KAM CONTROLS recommends using thread sealant and not Teflon tape for the threaded OFD™). Skip to Step 12
