Mount the flow switch in a section of pipe where there is a straight run of atleast 5 pipe diameters
on each side of the flow switch. Do not locate adjacent to valves, elbows or orifices. The switch
should be mounted so that the terminals or wire leads are easily accessible for wiring.
There are 4 paddles furnished with each unit. For pipe sizes 1", 2", 3" or 6" and above use the
paddles provided. Intermediate sizes may be trimmed from the appropriate paddle.
The paddle must not touch the inside of the pipe or bind in any way. Paddles smaller than the
actual pipe size should be used for added support and higher sensitivity. The paddles must be
properly attached and the screw that holds the paddle must be securely tightened.
For a 1" pipe application mount in a standard 1" x 1" x 1" tee. For larger sizes of pipe use
reducing tee or saddle to keep flow switch close to pipe and provide adequate paddle length
in the flow stream.
Flow switch setting can be changed by adjusting the setting screw.
Caution:
The paddle must not touch the inside of the pipe or bind in any way.
Care must be taken to properly orient the device for the direction of the flow.
