Installation and Operating Instructions

Caution: It is recommended that this publication be read in its entirety
before performing any operation. Failure to understand and follow
these instructions could result in serious personal injury and/or
damage to the equipment.

General Description

The FPR-I 500 Series liquid service flow sensors are capable of
measuring low flow rates (Model FPR- 150 1) up to medium and
higher flow rates (Model FPR-1506). These sensors are suitable for a
wide variety of industrial, commercial, and laboratory flow

measurement applications.

Flow rate is unidirectional, and proper direction is indicated on the

serial number nameplate.

The FPR

I500 Series is similar to the

FPRl 000 Series but has

additional flexibility to handle low viscosity corrosive fluids
compatible with the
and

Kalrez@

(gasket).

FPRl500

wetted materials: Teflon@, sapphire,

The FPR1500 Series use a Pelton-type turbine wheel to determine
flow rate of the liquid. Rotation of the wheel is linear over a wide
range of flow. Electra-optical signals proportional to the turbine
wheel speed are converted to O-5 VDC analog signal and also to a
buffered square wave pulse output.

Installation Details

All units are calibrated with water. Do not exceed the flow rate
specified for long periods of time and DO NOT USE GASES for
flushing out sensor. Bearing life may be shortened by such abuse.
The flow must be in the direction indicated on the serial number
nameplate. Preferred mounting orientation is with the serial number

nameplate facing upward.

PFA Teflon@ fittings are provided. Be
careful to install tubing to these carefully to avoid damage or leaking.
Hand tighten! DO NOT overtighten fittings. See Figure

1.
