Installation
Very Important
- Lubricate O-rings with a viscous lubricant, compatible with the materials of construction.
- Using an alternating | twisting motion, carefully lower the sensor into the fitting. | Do Not Force | Fig-3
- Ensure tab | notch is called to flow direction | Fig-4
Hand HaHand-tighten sensor. DO NOT use any tools on the sensor cap or the cap threads or fitting threads may be damaged. | Fig-5
Correct Sensor Position
- Locate the flow meter positioning tab and clamp the saddle notch.
- Engage one thread of the sensor cap, then turn the sensor until the alignment tab is seated in the fitting notch. Ensure the tab is parallel to the flow direction.
- Hand tighten using the retention cap
- Hand-tighten the screw cap
- DO NOT use any tools — threads may be damaged
- Ensure the 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 meters 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.
