4.3 Adjusting Setpoint

To adjust the flow setpoint:

1. Locate the "Setpoint" adjustment mechanism on the device's display.
2. Use a suitable tool (if required) to carefully adjust the setpoint to the desired flow threshold.
3. The "Hold 6s" indication on the display may relate to a calibration or confirmation procedure for the setpoint adjustment. Consult your system's specific operational guidelines for detailed calibration steps.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and accurate operation of your Trane electronic flow switch.

• Periodic Inspection: Visually inspect the flow switch and its connections for any signs of wear, corrosion, or damage.
• Cleaning: Keep the exterior of the device clean and free from dust and debris. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Connection Check: Periodically verify that all electrical and mechanical connections are secure.
• Recalibration: If the system's flow characteristics change or if there are doubts about the accuracy, consider recalibrating the flow switch according to the system's maintenance schedule.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your flow switch, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:

• No Indication/Power:
  • Check power supply to the unit and associated control system.
  • Verify all electrical connections are correct and secure.
• Incorrect Flow Reading:
  • Ensure the flow switch is installed in the correct orientation.
  • Check for blockages or debris in the piping system that might affect flow.
  • Verify the setpoint adjustment is correctly configured.
  • Consider recalibration if accuracy is consistently off.
• Leakage:
  • Inspect all mechanical connections and seals. Tighten or replace fittings as necessary.

For persistent issues, contact technical support.
