Installation Guide
IMPORTANT WARNINGS
- Only qualified trade installers should install this product
- This product is not intended for life-safety applications
- Do not install in hazardous or classified locations
- The installer is responsible for all applicable codes
- De-energize power supply prior to installation or service
PRODUCT APPLICATION LIMITATION:
Senva products are not designed for life or safety applications. Senva
products are not intended for use in critical applications such as nuclear
facilities, human implantable device or life support. Senva is not liable, in
whole or in part, for any claims or damages arising from such uses.
IMPORTANT!
- Do NOT exceed gauge pressure rating of sensor.
- Follow instructions step by step to ensure proper setup.
- Sensor will be damaged if reverse pressure is applied.
MOUNTING
The 3 and 5 valve assembly can be mounted using #6 to #8 pan head screws in
the four holes shown above (blue arrows). The assembly can also be mounted
with a 1/2” or smaller hose clamp (orange arrows).
DIMENSIONS
*Dimensions are the same for the 3 and 5 valve manifold.
5-VALVE OPERATION
5-Valve Manifold
| Manifold Material | Brass |
|---|---|
| Valve operation | V1 High pressure connection |
V2 Low pressure connection
V3 Pressure equalize
V4 For external gauge connection
V5 For external gauge connection
5 VALVE OPERATION:
- Close Valves V1, V2, V4, and V5 and open V3 to avoid hammering.
- Mount the Senva PW31 and install low and high pressure connections
- Slowly open V1, then V2.
- If external gauge is to be installed for the high pressure port, slowly open V4 to bleed the line. Allow the liquid to flow out until all air is out of the system. Then fully close the valve and install the pressure gauge. Slowly open V4.
- If external gauge is to be installed for the low pressure port, slowly open V5 to bleed the line. Allow the liquid to flow out until all air is out of the system. Then fully close the valve and install the pressure gauge. Slowly open V5.
- Slowly bleed the device, see “Bleeding” for correct operation.
- Close V3 for normal operation.
BLEEDING
To remove air from the connections and ensure accurate readings, bleed screws are provided on the high and low sides as shown below. Turn the screw slowly (1.5 times max) until liquid begins to flow. Allow the system to bleed out until there are no bubbles in the liquid. Then fully tighten bleed screw. Perform this operation on both the high and low side.
3-VALVE OPERATION
3-Valve Manifold
| Manifold Material | Brass |
|---|---|
| Valve operation | V1 High pressure connection |
V2 Low pressure connection
V3 pressure equalize
3 VALVE OPERATION:
- Close Values V1 and V2 and open V3 to avoid hammering.
- Mount the Senva PW31 and install low and high pressure connections.
- Slowly open V1, then V2.
- Bleed the device, see “Bleeding” for correct operation.
- Close V3 for normal operation.
ELECTRICAL
Senva recommends using 22AWG stranded, 4 conductor shielded cable to wire
between the PW31 transmitter and controller. Shielding should be connected to
the ground terminal at the transmitter end, and left unconnected at the sensor
end.
Terminals are rated for 24-14AWG, 3.5 lb-in of torque.
-
Run the cable through the connector body and connect the wires to the 4 terminals provided. Ensure that the wires are connected to the corresponding terminal label on the connector.
