2. Description
2.1. Design
The FLS FlowX3 F9.20 Battery Powered Flow Monitor is equipped with two long life
lithium batteries and it integrates the power supply for the sensor. It is designed to
show on the LCD display flow rate and totalized flow volume with no external power
supply required. One of the two totalizers is resettable while the other is non-resettable
and it is used to permanently record volume consumption. Self explaining calibration
menus allow a customized setup of all measuring parameters and the state of the art
electronic design ensures long-term reliable and stable indications. The high flexibility
is maximized with only one packaging for compact pipe mount, panel or wall
installation.

4. Installation
The battery powered flow monitor is available just in one packaging for compact field
version, panel or wall installation. The compact field version is mounted on top of the
sensor using the compact mounting kit (F9.KC1), the panel version is installed using the
panel mounting kit (F9.KP1), while the wall mounting version is fixed with the wall
mounting kit (F9.KW1).The mounting kits can be ordered directly connected to the monitor
or separately and then simply installed on it.
4.1. Panel Installation
The panel mounting version consists of the monitor and the mounting bracket kit
F9.KP1 with gasket for IP65 watertight panel installation. The monitor perfectly fits into a
standard ¼ DIN panel cutout.
1. Cut out the panel: the F9.20
requires a panel opening of
90,5 x 90,5 mm (3,563” x
3,563”). ¼ DIN punches are
recommended, alternatively a
jigsaw or another cutting tool
may be used.
2. Recommended minimum
clearance between panel
cutouts is 28 mm (1.1”) as
illustrated.
3. Place gasket on the instrument
and install into the panel. Be sure
the panel gasket is properly
seated against the panel and
around the instrument case.
4. Slide the metal bracket over the
back of the instrument. Press the
bracket against the inside of the
panel to perfectly fix the
instrument in place.
To REMOVE: press the clips outward while pulling the bracket away from the
instrument panel. Do not allow the instrument to fall out of the panel opening: it
may be helpful to secure the instrument temporarily with tape from front.

4.2. Wall Installation
The wall mounting version consists of the monitor and the wall mounting kit. The
F9.KW1 kit includes the plastic adapter with gasket for IP65 watertight wall installation
and the fixing screws.
1. Fix the wall mounting kit to a solid wall
using the included screws.
2. Pull the electrical cables through
liquid tight connectors.
3. Make wiring connections according to
wiring diagrams.
4. Secure carefully the F9.20 to the wall
mounting kit using the included
screws until finger tight.
5. Assemble the front cover.
4.3. Compact Installation
The compact mounting kit F9.KC1 includes the
compact plastic adapter with gasket for IP65
watertight installation, the sensor gasket, the
compact cap, the locking ring and four fixing screws.
