Requirements for Installation Site of the Flow Detector:
Mounting of Flow Detector
Use the following guidelines for installation of the flow detector:
 • Flow detector can be installed at any angle - vertical, horizontal or inclined pipe. Do not allow bubbles
to become trapped inside of the flow detector. If deposits or sediments are expected, flow detector
must be mounted for ease of draining and cleaning.
 • Install the flow detector with inlet lower than the outlet.
 • The arrow on side of Flow detector shows flow direction. Make sure the arrow matches the direction of
flow.
• Flow detector should be mounted where pressure in the pipe is above the atmospheric pressure
(positive pressure).
• A flow control valve, if required, should be installed downstream of flow detector to prevent formation of
bubbles in the liquid. An upstream valve may form bubbles which could reduce the intensity of the
ultrasonic signal and interfere with proper measurement.
• A bypass pipe run (including bypass valve and shutoff valves) is recommended for easy zero adjustment
and maintenance.
 • Use mounting straps on detector body to secure device. Avoid mechanical stress on the inlet and outlet
pipes.
 • Please refer to the fitting manufacturers’ working instructions for the connection of the tube joints.

CAUTION:
Failure to keep a Converter and Flow Detector combination paired
properly will cause a loss of system accuracy and performance.

Mounting and Removal:
Step 1 Connect flow detector coaxial cables with BNC connectors to converter.
Step 2 Confirm that the converter body and the terminal-block plug socket are firmly fixed with the
lock arm of the main body.
Step 3 When separating, push the lock arm and pull to the front.
Wiring of Flow Detector:
Step 1 Converter plugs into terminal plug socket.
Step 2 The polarity of the BNC connector is shown in the figure below. Connect Red to IN (upstream
side) of the converter, and Black to OUT (downstream side). If strain relief is not color
coded refer to cable identifiers. Lock the BNC connectors securely.
Step 3 When installing multiple PFM1 systems, pay attention to ensure that the detector and converter
combination remain properly paired together.

CAUTION:
Observe the proper input voltage and correct polarity is applied.
Step 1 Check supply voltage matches the specified voltage described on the nameplate
Step 2 Avoid use of common power supply to other electrical devices
Step 3 Check the voltage at the terminals is within the limits
Step 4 The inrush current of one converter is 1.0A/2ms

following points before power on.
Wiring:
Step 1 The power supply and the output terminals are properly connected.
Step 2 Check the grounding.
Step 3 Detector and converter are paired together properly.
Supply voltage matches the specification
Installation of the detector:
Step 1 The inlet and outlet cables are properly connected to the in and out converter connectors
Step 2 The flow direction arrow represents the correct flow direction.
 • Fillthedetectorwiththeuidandshutoffthesupplyvalve.Afterallowhasstoppedcheckforleaks.
Remove bubbles if present.
Power-on:
Step 1 Turn on the power supply to converter.
Step 2 After turning on the power supply, warm up the converter for about 15 minutes.
Operation:
Step 1 Start fluid flow and begin measurement.
Step 2 If fluid flow is not travelling in the same direction as the flow arrow the flow-rate output signal will
not increase.
Step 3 Confirm that when flow is increased the flow rate output signal increases.
Zero Adjustment
Run the fluid to purge the bubbles from the detector body. Close valves to stop flow through the detector.
The detector must remain full of fluid. Push the ZERO ADJ switch on the panel for 2 seconds or more to
start ZERO point adjustment. Zero point adjustment requires about 10 seconds. It reverts automatically to
measuring mode after the adjustment. During ZERO adjustment, the ZERO/AGC LED lamp blinks at the
interval of 1 second. Output signal should read 0%. If flow does not read 0 +/- 1%, repeat if necessary.
Setting of this flow rate value will be the cutoff for all valves under this level.
After the proper wiring and installation of this device is completed you will be able to apply power and acquire
a flow rate signal.

Low cut off can be set between 0.0% to 1.0%F.S. and
between 1 to 25%F.S. Each range has a different graduation
to set. Measuring value less than the set value is deemed as
0 automatically.

Hi Hysteresis High hysteresis The gap between high alarm set point and reverting back to
normal. Setting value is fixed as 0%.
