Flow switch should be mounted at least 5 pipe diameters
downstream and 2 pipe diameters upstream of any source
of turbulence, such as valves, elbows, reducers, etc.
1. Remove unit from shipping box and inspect it for possible damage (i.e., cracks, damaged threads, deformed
bending beam, etc.)
2. Check model number on label with that shown on
packing list vs. configuration actually received (return to
supplier if discrepancy is found).
3. Place a multimeter or equivalent test meter across the
two wire leads coming from the unit and check for
proper switch operation by gently moving bending
beam and magnetic assembly toward switch support
tube. Switch should activate when separation is in the
range ⁄” to ⁄”.
4. If no discrepancy is found, thread unit into appropriate
tee.
5. Care must be exercised during threading operation to

SMALL TEE
insure threads are not crossed and the bending beam
target assembly does not touch the inside surface of the
tee.
NOTE: It may be necessary to test fit the unit in a tee
identical to the tee mounted in the flow line to ensure
adequate clearance during rotational insertion sequence.
For black iron and galvanized tees, check for possible hang
up of bending beam due to attraction of magnet to interior
metal wall.
6. Tighten unit in tee until fluid leaks are eliminated, flow
target is approximately centered along axis of pipe
and flow direction arrows located on unit are aligned
parallel with flow in pipe. When threading into PVC fittings 2-3 layers of Teflon sealing tape is recommended.
Tighten 2-3 turns beyond finger tight.
7. Complete wiring to signal processor, light, relay, etc.
per local code.

HARWIL provides NO WARRANTY and ASSUMES NO RESPONSIBILITY for corrosive attack on
any material, component or design features associated with any of its products.
Corrosion resistance information listed in HARWIL specification sheets, information sheets and product
brochures is solely for general background information. This information table has been compiled from
literature published by various material suppliers and by equipment manufacturers who use these materials in their products. Inasmuch as these data are based on tests by entities over which HARWIL has no
control, HARWIL DOES NOT GUARANTEE AND DOES NOT ACCEPT ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE
ACCURACY OF SUCH THIRD PARTY TESTING. When using the table, please remember that in any
given case several factors such as concentration, temperature, degrees of agitation and presence of impurities influence the rate of corrosion. The information table is intended, in a general way, to rate materials
for resistance to chemicals which contain their usual impurities and for types of equipment in common
use. Ratings should be used only as a general tool to first approximation of your material requirements
rather than as the final answer.
WHEN IN DOUBT, TEST MATERIALS BEFORE INSTALLATION.
AFTER INSTALLATION, FOLLOW UP WITH SCHEDULED PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE AND
PERIODIC INSPECTION.
