PACKING LIST
Please verify that the product is complete and without any damage. The
following items must be included:
• F6.61 hot tap ow sensor

DESCRIPTION
The new FLS F6.61 Hot Tap Insertion Magmeter is a owmeter without moving
mechanical parts which can be applied for the measurement of dirty liquids so
long as they are conductive and homogeneous. The sensor can provide three
different options: frequency output to be connected to FLS ow monitors, 4-20
mA output for long distance transmission and PLC connection and the new
volume pulse output freely settable. FLS F6.61 Insertion Magmeter is provided
with an USB interface and a dedicated software (freely downloadable from
FLS web site) which allows to easily set by a PC all parameters according
to specic installation requirements. The sensor can be assembled in a wide
dynamic range of pressurized pipe sizes from DN 50 (2”) to DN 900 (36”)
using a standard clamp saddle and an isolation ball valve.

DIMENSIONS
INSTALLATION
Pipe Location
• The six most common installation congurations shown in g. 1 help in
selecting the best location in the pipeline for paddlewheel ow sensor as well
for magmeter ow sensor.
• The three congurations in g. 2 ensure that the pipe is always full: for a
correct measurement the sensor can NOT be exposed to air bubbles at any
time.
• The three installations in Fig. 3 should be avoided unless you are absolutely
sure the sensor is not exposed to air bubbles.
• In gravity-ow systems the connection to the tank must be designed so the
level does not drop below the outlet: this to avoid pipe to draw air in from the
tank causing a inaccurate measurement of sensor (see Fig. 4).
• For more information, please refer to EN ISO 5167-1.
• Always maximize distance between ow sensors and pumps.

Set the sensor to work
The assembly and set to work of the instrument are carried out by two simple
steps that allow a quick and precise installation:
1. INSTALLATION OF THE SENSOR ON THE WET-TAP CLAMP SADDLE
2. VERTICAL POSITIONING OF THE SENSOR INTO THE PIPE
Warning: the F6.61 allows installation into pressurised pipes without system
shutdown; we recommend to pay maximum attention when screwing the
clamping bolts of the measuring rod. The rod is pushed upwards by the
internal pressure, for this reason not work up the rob.
Note: lubricate the steel rod to reduce frictions with the O-rings. This will help
the installation, measurement and positioning operations.
1. INSTALLATION OF THE SENSOR ON THE WET-TAP CLAMP SADDLE
Warning: these installations steps can be applied to every wet-tap clamp
saddle with the following properties:
-Branch minimum diameter : 33 mm
-Branch thread : 1 1/4” GAS (cylindrical)
• Assemble the saddle or weld-on the adapter in the desired position to install
the sensor.
Drill the pipe. Use a 35 mm ( in.) milling cutter.
Remove the drilling machine. Be careful to block the uid using the proper
intercepting plate or ball valve (see Fig. 1).
• Wrap several turns of Teon tape around the steel joint threads to prevent
leaks. Screw the Stainless Steel joint, together with the measuring rod and the
sensor, in the saddle branch.
• Be careful to x the sensor body in the upper position (see Fig.2).
• Tight the safety chain and x it.
• Remove the intercepting plate or open the ball valve to the full open position
(perpendicular to pipe).

2. VERTICAL POSITIONING OF THE SENSOR INTO THE PIPE
• Be sure the sensor is in the upper position.
• Calculate the DISTANCE between the sliding bush C (Fig. 2) and the sensor
body:
DISTANCE “L” [mm] = (0.15 x Internal Diameter) +S (wall thickness) +K
(distance between external pipe and end of the thread) - 15
• Move and x the sliding bush at the calculated DISTANCE from the Stainless
Steel joint
• Turn the special screws E out (Fig. 2) and push the rod downwards to get the
sliding bush being in contact with the Stainless Steel joint
• Move and x the sliding bush at the calculated DISTANCE from the Stainless
Steel joint (see Fig.4)
• Turn the special screws E out (see Fig. 2) and push the rod downwards to
get the sliding bush being in contact with the Stainless Steel joint.
Make sure the reference screw F (see Fig. 5) on the top pf the rod is
PARALLEL to the axis of the pipe and x again the sensor tightening the
special screws.
Tight the safety chain and x it using the special ring G (see Fig. 5).
Bind the sensor rod by the safety chain: it is pushed upward by the internal
pressure.

WIRING
General recommendation
Always ensure the power supply is switched off before working on the device.
Make wiring connections according to wiring diagrams.
• Terminals accept 26 to 12 AWG (0.08 to 2.5 mm2)
• Strip around 10 mm (0.4”) of insulation from the wire tips and tin bare ends to
avoid fraying.
• Ferrules are suggested when connecting more than one wire to a single
terminal.
• Remove the upper part of the terminals for an easy cabling.
• Insert wire tip or ferrule completely into the terminal and x with the screw
until nger tight.
• Do not route the sensor, DC power, or 4-20mA cables in conduit containing
AC power wiring. Electrical noise may interfere with sensor signal.
• Routing the sensor cable in grounded metal conduit can help prevent
electrical noise and mechanical damage.
Specic info
Pull the electrical cables through liquid tight connectors.
Use electrical cables with the proper external diameter for the liquid tight
connector.
PG11/PG9: external diameter between 2-7 mm (0.079-0.276”)
