NuTec Series Flow & Level Monitoring Switch
Installation and Operation Guide
Quick Installation and Adjustment Overview
Section A - Instrument Description and Identification
Section B - Instrument Installation
Install the instrument on to the application in the orientation required. Take extra precaution not to damage the sensing elements/surface. If wiring
conduit is required, make sure there are no obstructions leading to the wiring ports. Check for leaks.
Section C - Instrument Wiring
Verify the power and output load requirements for the instrument and install the proper wire size for the application. Wiring to relays will require
knowledge of the alarm state and load circuit. Take extra precaution not to damage the control circuits.
Section D - Power Up, Functional Verification and Adjustment.
Before applying power to the instrument, inspect the installation workmanship. In most cases the instrument will detect a flow or level alarm with
the factory settings. If the instrument does not respond, responds slowly or the alarm responds opposite to the required indication, follow the adjustment procedure in this section or go to Section E.
Section E - Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Section F - Approval Information
Section A - Instrument Description and Identication
Thoroughly understanding the capabilities of the NuTec instrument, and its intended use for your application, will make the installation much easier.
This installation guide describes the four NuTec models available.
LS2000
The model LS2000 is an insertion instrument capable of detecting liquid levels or product interfaces in a wide range of processes. The instrument
can be top or side mounted. The process connection choices are male ¼ inch NPT, ¾ inch NPT or 1-1/2 inch, 150 lb. Flange. See the installation
outline drawings on page 3 or 4 for the correct mounting dimensions.
FS2000
The model FS2000 is an insertion instrument capable of detecting flow / no-flow in a wide range of processes. The instrument can be top or side
mounted. The process connection choices are male ¼ inch NPT, ¾ inch NPT or 1-1/2 inch, 150 lb. flange. See the installation outline drawings on
page 3 or 4 for the correct mounting dimensions.
FS2000H
The model FS2000H is an insertion instrument capable of detecting flow/no-flow in a wide range of processes. This probe offers our highest range

Section B - Instrument Installation
For the FS2000, FS2000H and the LS2000, there is an orientation mark etched onto the sensor element. It is located on a flattened area of
the sensor element body close to the housing.
For the LS2000, the orientation mark can be perpendicular or parallel to the liquid level. The sensor element can be installed top mount 90º to the
liquid surface.
For the FS2000 and the FS2000H, the orientation mark must be parallel to flow, (± 3º). For liquid vertical flows, FCI recommends that the sensor
element be installed where the flow is going in the up direction.

FLOW
For the FS2000L, there is a flow arrow mark etched onto the sensor element. It is located on the sensor element body close to the housing.
The sensor element can be at any angle as long as the flow direction follows the flow arrow. Liquid applications where the flow element is positioned other than horizontally, FCI recommends that the flow go in the up direction.
For all models, the position of the sensor element in reference to the media is paramount. With this in mind, the position of the control circuit
enclosure also needs to be considered. After the sensor element is installed, the enclosure cover must be accessible for wiring and servicing. It is
preferred that the conduit port is positioned in a downward direction to reduce the possibility of moisture collecting in the enclosure. The enclosure
may be repositioned by up to ½ turn to facilitate conduit installation.
CAUTION:
To minimize the possibility of damage, leave the protective covers over the sensing area until the time of installation.
Take extra precaution with the sensing elements and surface when installing.
For NPT process connections, apply the appropriate sealant compatible with the process media to the male threads. Tighten until the orientation
mark is positioned correctly. Check for leaks.
For flange connections, refer to the installation outline diagrams. The bolt pattern on the process connection flange must be positioned in a way
that the orientation mark on the sensor element ends up in the correct position as mentioned above. Use gasket material compatible to the process
media. Check for leaks.
For sanitary flange connections, use o-rings compatible with the media. Position the o-ring(s) and join the sanitary flanges. Install the flange
clamp(s) snug to permit rotation of the sensor element. Rotate the sensor element until the orientation mark is correctly positioned. Tighten the
clamps and check for leaks.
For butt weld connections, make sure all parts are cleaned. Mount the instrument to check fit. Make sure the flow arrow is in the same direction
of flow. Align the inside diameter (I.D.) of the instrument to the I.D. of the your piping. Tack weld in place. A qualified welder should perform welding
per ASME Section IX, Boiler Code. For best results, 100% penetration with the weld size of 1 ½ times the wall thickness is desired. Check for leaks.

Control Circuit Enclosure Diagrams
Section C - Instrument Wiring
There are three basic wiring configurations with the main difference being the way the instrument is powered. Only qualified personnel are to wire or
test this instrument. The operator assumes all responsibilities for safe practices while wiring or troubleshooting. One of the following wiring instruction and diagrams illustrate the requirements for power input, alarm outputs and safety instructions for the unit being installed.
ALERT:
The Instrument contains electrostatic discharge (ESD) sensitive devices. Use standard ESD precautions when handling
the instrument.
Recommended Minimum Wire Gauge
The following wire gauge chart specifies the correct wire for the distance to the power source or loads. Note that the open collector option is limited
to 50 ft. It is also recommended that the open collector cable is shielded and that it is not run in the same conduit with the power source or the relay
load.

Grounding
The switch must be properly ground for safety and operational reasons.
100 –240 Vac input power units: A minimum gauge of 14AWG is required on the earth ground terminal. This connection should have a resistance to earth ground less than 1 ohm. Do not connect the earth ground to DC ground (terminals marked “GND” or “COM” or “-”).
24 volt and Two wire (loop powered) units: The earth ground wire will be attached to the inside of the enclosure on a grounding screw along with the
ground wire from the control circuit. Use the recommended wire gauge specified for the input power and distance listed in the chart above. Do not
connect the earth ground to DC ground (terminals marked “GND”, “COM” or “-”).
