DO - Choose a position for the flow sensor that will not be at the lowest level in the system. Placing the
flow sensor at a higher elevation in the system will avoid collection of debris, sediment and dirt in the flow
sensor.
DO - Use a filter. All applications should be filtered to at least 40 micron.
DON’T - Locate a flow sensor directly in-line with the outlet of a pump, as pressure pulsations can react
with the turbine. Locate the sensor after another component, observing the 10 port diameter rule.
DON’T - Adjust the magnetic pick-up on the flow sensor. This is calibrated at the factory. Further adjustment
will cause a decrease in performance or damage to the sensor.
DON’T - Exceed the working temperature range of –4 °F to +300 °F (–20 °C to +150 °C). Higher
temperatures will damage the magnetic pick-up and lower temperatures will limit the rotation of the
turbine.
