GENERAL INFORMATION

IP100/200 SERIES INSTRUCTIONS

The IP100/200-Series are adjustable depth insertion
paddlewheels that come in brass, PVC, or 316 stainless

models to t 3” to 40” pipe. Adapters mate with standard
1-1/2” (11x/21x) or 2” (15x/25x), or PVC (11x/21x) NPT
threaded ttings such as saddles and weldolets which may

be purchased either locally or from Seametrics.

Ruby bearings and a non-drag Hall-effect sensor give these

meters the widest ow range of any of the paddlewheel
types. A sensor detects the passage of miniature magnets

in the six rotor blades. The resulting square-wave signal
can be sent for hundreds of feet over unshielded cable
without a transmitter and connected directly to many PLC’s
and other controls without any additional electronics.

Features

Housing Screw

(connect one to ground)

Optional Electronics Module

A modular system of electronics can be installed directly
on the ow sensor or mounted remotely. The FT430

(externally powered with pulse), FT440 (loop powered),
and FT450 (battery powered) all provide digital rate and
total displays, as well as a programmable pulse; the FT440

also provides a 4-20 mA analog output. The AO55 is a
blind analog (4-20 mA) transmitter. Programmable pulse

for pump pacing is available with the PD10 (available as
wall mounted unit only).

The “hot-tap” models (IP15x/25x) can be installed or

serviced without shutting down the line by means of a

2” full-port isolation valve that comes with a nipple for
installation on the pipe tting. In most circumstances, no

special tool is required.

INSTALLATION

IP100/200 SERIES INSTRUCTIONS

Positioning the Meter

For best results, the IP sensor should be installed with
at least ten diameters of straight pipe upstream and

ve downstream. Certain extreme situations such as
partially-opened valves are particularly difcult and may
require fteen diameters upstream. (See Straight Pipe

Recommendations.)

Distorted Flows

Horizontal (3 o’clock or 9 o’clock position) is the preferred

installation orientation, since it improves low-ow

performance and avoids problems with trapped air and
sediment. (See Orienting the Meter diagram below.)
Bottom (6 o’clock), top (12 o’clock), and vertical pipe
installations are all acceptable if required by the piping
layout.

Immersion

The IP100/200 Series standard sensors are not designed
for continuous underwater operation. If this is a possibility,

as in a ooded vault, a unit modied for immersion should
be specied (Option -40).

Caution: These ow sensors are
not recommended for installation
downstream of a boiler feedwater

pump where installation fault may
expose the ow sensor to boiler pressure
and temperature. Maximum recommended
temperature is 200°F.
