SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING!
1. Description
The FP-5070 Series Mini Flow Sensors contain a free-running
rotor which is driven by the uid ow. Within the given
measurement range, the rotational speed of the rotor is
proportional to the uid ow rate. Permanent magnets built into
the rotor actuate an electronic switch in the top of the sensor
generating a square-wave output signal proportional to ow rate.
Both opaque and transparent uids can be measured from 0.2 to
20.0 centistokes.
1. Do not remove from pressurized lines.
2. Do not exceed maximum temperature/pressure specications.
3. Pipe tting must be installed by certied welder only.
4. Do not install/service without following installation instructions (see sensor manual).
5. Wear safety goggles and face shield during installation/service.
6. Do not alter product construction.
7. Failure to follow safety instructions could result in severe personal injury!
Wetted sensor parts are constructed of PVDF and FPM, making
the sensor suitable for use with most process uids, including most
acids, bases, light oils, and solvents.

3. Installation
• The sensor may be installed in any position, although horizontal
ow is recommended (the sensor mounted upright). If the
sensor is not installed upright, the linearity error may be greater
in the lower part of the sensor's measurement range.
• Mounting tabs are provided using M4 or #8 self-tapping screws
(customer supplied). See Dimensions illustration for mounting
tab hole pattern specications.
• Install sensor with the arrow pointing in the direction of ow.
• Always maximize distance between the sensor and pump
source. Never install immediately downstream of valves,

only! Apply 1-2 turns of PTFE sealing tape to all threaded
connections to prevent leaks.
CAUTION!
Use an adjustable wrench to prevent the tting
adapters from overtightening while installing mating
pipe connectors. Sensor damage will occur if the ports
are overtightened.
4. WiringDetails
4.1 CableExtensions
The standard 25 foot sensor cable can be extended to 300 m
(1000 ft) using 2-conductor shielded twisted-pair cable.
• Always maintain cable shield through cable splice.
• For splice-free cable replacement up to 300 m (1000 ft), refer
to the sensor plug connection diagram (below) for connection
details.

7. ReplacingTheFlowInsert
Sensor range can be modied by changing the ow insert. The
sensor must be removed from service and disassembled prior to
installing the new ow insert. See Specications (Section 2) for
ow range data.
FlowInsertReplacementProcedure:
1. Depressurize system and remove sensor.
2. Rotate the upper sensor body clockwise until it releases from
the lower half, then lift off.
3. Remove rotor and quad ring seal from lower body.
4. Push the ow insert outward using a small screwdriver.
5. Install the new ow insert (small diameter inward) with the
eraser end of a pencil. Apply light pressure until insert seats
against the step in the lower body. Donotforce!
6. Install rotor into lower body. Spin rotor with nger and check
for free rotation. If rotor hits ow insert, remove rotor and
push insert back until free rotor rotation is established. Use
a rounded object such as a pen or pencil body to adjust ow
insert depth.
7. Install rotor, quad ring, and upper body. Handtightenonly!
Do not overtighten upper body or the lower body assembly
tabs will break.
8. Reprogram instrument with new K-Factor, see Calibration
(Section 5).
CAUTION!
Do not use tools of any kind on the sensor body or port
connections. Hand tighten only! Excessive force will
damage sensor.
Condition Recommendation
Erratic or missing
sensor signal
A. Verify ALL cable and instrument connections (section 4).
B. Verify proper sensor installation (section 3).
C. Remove power from instrument and disconnect sensor inputs. Apply power to the instrument and
check across Black and Shield terminals with a digital voltmeter for 5 VDC. If 5 VDC is not present, the
instrument requires service or may be miscongured.
Perform steps A - E.
If sensor problems
persist, contact
OMEGA.
D. Verify the FP-5072 paddlewheel spins freely by blowing into the ow chamber. If the paddlewheel does
not spin freely, the following conditions may exist:
• The sensor may be dirtty or clogged. Disassemble and clean with hot tap water and a soft brush (see
section 7).
• The rotor may be hitting the ow insert. Disassemble and adjust ow insert depth (see section 7).
E. Test sensor with ow system active and sensor powered. Use an oscilloscope to check the sensor input
signal across the Red (Signal IN) and Shield terminals. A square wave signal should appear at these
terminals. If no signal is present, replace sensor.
