DESCRIPTION
For pressure boosting systems, the electronic flow sensorcontrol unit monitors the flow of water and automatically
shuts off the motor when the flow drops below 1.0 GPM.
Once the flow has increased above 1.0 GPM, the unit will
automatically turn the motor back on to boost the system
pressure. The device protects against dry run or dead head
conditions that are caused by a low yield water supply or
an obstructed water discharge. Note: This electronic flow
protection system is designed to be used with a positive
supply of water feeding the pump.
NOTE: The unit will not function if the pump is used in a
suction lift application.

INSTALLATION
1. Electronic flow protector box should be located within six
feet of the pump motor and power supply and should be
mounted to a solid surface.
Note: Follow all recommended installation procedure for
pump as provided by pump manufacture.
2. Plumb flow sensor on into the inlet side of the pump,
making sure that your water supply line is feeding the
inlet port of the flows sensor and the outlet port of the
flow sensor is plumbed to the inlet port of the pump (See
Figures 1 & 2). Use standard medium bodied PVC solvent
cement to attach piping to flow switch.
Care should be taken to use the minimum
recommended amount of PVC cement to insure that no
excess cement enters into the sensor of the unit and causes a
malfunction which can void the warranty.
If dirt, sand, debris or other particulate is
present in the supply water, install a strainer or filter on the
inlet side of the flow sensor to insure proper operation of
sensor and pump.
3. Plug the two red wires from the electronic flow protector
box into the two red wires on the flow sensor.
