Product Usage Instructions

Safety Information:

Before installation, ensure to de-pressurize and vent the system. Confirm chemical compatibility and do not exceed maximum temperature or pressure specifications. Always wear safety goggles during installation. Do not alter product construction.

Installation:

Lubricate O-rings with silicone provided.
Carefully lower the sensor into the fitting using an alternating twisting motion. Do not force it.
Ensure tab/notch are parallel to flow direction.
Hand tighten the sensor cap. Do not use tools.

Correct Sensor Position Setup:

Ensure there are no air bubbles in the liquid media being measured. The pipe must always remain full. The flow meter needs to be placed in a straight run pipe with a minimum distance upstream and downstream of the flow sensor for accurate measurement.

FAQ

Q: What should I do if I encounter sediment during installation?

A: If sediment is present, refer to Figure-3 for the preferred installation method.

Q: Can I use tools to tighten the sensor cap?

A: No, hand tightening is recommended to prevent damage to the product.

Read the user’s manual carefully before starting to use the unit. Producer reserves the right to implement changes without prior notice.

Installation

Very Important

Lubricate O-rings with silicone (provided).
Using an alternating twisting motion, carefully lower the sensor into the fitting. | Do Not Force | See Fig 5
Ensure tab/notch are parallel to flow direction | See Fig-2

Hand-tighten the sensor cap. DO NOT use tools.

Correct Sensor Position

Locate the flow meter positioning tab and clamp saddle notch.
Engage one thread of the sensor cap, then turn the sensor until the alignment tab is seated in the fitting notch.
Ensure tab is parallel to flow direction.
Hand tighten
DO NOT use tools
Ensure meter is firmly in place

Correct Sensor Position Setup

TI Series flow meters measure liquid media only. There should be no air bubbles and the pipe must always remain full. To ensure accurate flow measurement, the placement of the flow meter needs to adhere to specific parameters. This requires a straight run pipe with a minimum number of pipe diameters distance upstream and downstream of the flow sensor.
