Micro Flow - FVS (Flow Verification Sensor)
Electronic Flow Verification
Are you sure the pump is actually pumping?
Empty chemical tank, clogged injection fitting, lost prime, an other problems can prevent a metering pump from
actually injecting chemical - even though the pump is in good working order.
Installation Options
The Micro Flow FVS (Flow Verification Sensor) is designed to give you many installation options.
The sensor can be installed:
!
Directly on the pumphead of a Blue-White pump (see next page).
!
Anywhere on the discharge side of a diaphragm pump.
!
Anywhere on the suction side of a peristaltic pump.
The wiring for the sensor can be connected directly to a Blue-White pump. The pump will stop pumping if the
sensor detects no flow. A relay will then close allowing for remote alarm indication or initiation of a back-up
injector pump.

Installation Guideline
The Micro Flow FVS can be connected directly to many
Blue-White injector pumps (see table below). The sensor
will verify that chemical injection has actually occurred.
The pumps sophisticated electronics continuously monitor
the sensor. If chemical should fail to inject, the pump will
stop and an alarm relay will close - allowing for remote
alarm indication and/or initiation of a back-up injector
pump.
Recommended sensor mounting locations differ from
diaphragm pump to peristaltic pump.
Diaphragm pump installation; the sensor should be
mounted on the discharge (outlet) side of the pumphead.
The sensor can be mounted directly on the pumphead or
anywhere along the tubing on the discharge side of the
pump.

Your flow verification sensorpackage includes a Foot Strainer (see diagram below). This strainer will prevent any small
particles from entering and clogging the Micro Body. Diaphragm pumps will require a strainer and a check valve. The part
number for the strainer that includes a check valve is C-340A. Blue-White peristaltic pumps do not require a check valve.

Pressure and temperature limits are inversely proportional. At the maximum suggested pressure the temperature should approach 70°F / 21.1°C. At the maximum suggested temperature the pressure should approach
zero psi. We cannot guarantee our flowmeters will not be damaged either at or below the suggested limits
simply because of many factors which influence meter integrity; stress resulting from meter misalignment,
damage due to excessive vibration and/or deterioration caused by contact with certain chemicals as well as
direct sunlight. These situations and others tend to reduce the strength of the materials from which the meters
are manufactured.
Application Note
Although meters may be suitable for other chemicals, Blue-White cannot guarantee their suitability. It
is the responsibility of the user to determine the suitability of the flowmeter in their application.
