Checks:
The flow switch must be installed so that the flow
direction follow the flow direction description tag.
1) Its recommended that the flow switch is
installed with a distance of ½ a meter of the pipe
bent where the flow enters and 5x times the
diameter of the pipe where the flow exits, enabling
it to have an accurate reading (Fig. 1).
Verify that the installation point isn’t near any
connections, valves, elbows or anything similar,
this can cause errors in the reading of the probe
due to turbulence in the pipe.
2) It is important that the flow switch is not installed
at the highest point in the pipe run or in a location
where there is the risk of air accumulating in the
pipe. Keep in mind that the ideal mounting
location is where the pipe is always full. This will
ensure that the switch is always immersed in the
flow. (Fig. 2 correct)
3) In pipes that have pressure pumps or retention
valves, we recommend that the probe be installed
before the pump due to the fact that it will have
less turbulence. (Fig. 3)
4) Confirm that the wire connections are correct
and that the available power supply is compatible
with the CF12 unit.
5) Verify that the operating pressure and
temperature of the process corresponds to the
operating parameters of the CF12 unit.
Do not expose the CF12 to excessive heat and
rain, avoid damaging the performance by making
adequate protection (Fig.4)
