Installation Notes
1. Install the sensor into flowing water for 30 minutes to allow the sensor to reach a temperature
equilibrium.
2. Sensor must have a minimum of 3.5 gpm flow across it.
3. Theanalogoutputisactiveandreferencedto+36Vdc.
4. If connected to a monitor with other 4-20mA inputs, they must be isolated from each other or this
input.ContactAdvantageControlsifaloopisolatorisrequired.
5. After the sensor has been installed and powered for 2 hours confirm that the output is a 4mA
signal.
Testing Sensor
If the sensor is giving a 3mA output after being installed for at least 2 hours in the minimum flow rate
of 3.5 gpm the following steps can be followed to test and reset the sensor’s operation.
1. Power OFF the Skidsens
2. AssumingtheSkidsenswasmaintainedinwaterwiththerequiredflowrate(>3.5gpm),powerON
the Skidsens and check the analog output reading during the first 20 seconds, as the probe will
be in test mode
a. For the first 10 seconds, the probe should display a 4mA signal
b. For the next 10 seconds, the probe should display a 20mA signal
3. After those initial 20 seconds, the probe will go to operational mode and should return to a 4mA
signal, or slightly above assuming the sensor has no fouling.
