Inspect

•

After unpacking the unit, inspect carefully for any damage that may

have occurred during transit. Check for loose, missing or damaged

parts. Shipping damage claims must be filed with carrier.

•

See General Safety Instructions, and all Cautions, Warnings, and

Dangers as shown.

To do a complete and successful installation, you must carefully read this manual

and the manual for the sensor.

BEFORE CUTTING A HOLE IN THE PIPE

•Verify you have all the pieces.

•Verify this saddle size is the same as your pipe outside diameter.

•Verify the pipe is not pressurized.

•Verify the desired hole location is more than 10 diameters downstream

and 5 diameters upstream from any obstructions. Valves, pumps,

elbows, reducers are all considered obstructions.

•Note that the finished hole diameter should be between 1-15/16” to 2”.

It should be clean and free of burrs.

•We recommend the hole be made with a hole saw.

•Note the direction of flow. Measuring water only.

Tools and Materials Needed

•Ø1-15/16” to Ø2.0” hole saw and drill

•7/16” end wrenches

•Tape measure

•Permanent marker

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT: It is your responsibility to:

•Ensure that all equipment operators have access to adequate instructions

concerning safe operating and maintenance procedures.

This product is not approved for use with petroleum products

(diesel fuel, unleaded gasoline,jet fuel, kerosene, etc.), aromatic

hydrocarbons or other incompatible chemicals.

This product is not approved for use in hazardous locations.

When applying power, adhere to specifications listed in

appropriate electronics manual.

Disconnect external power before attaching or detaching input or

output wires.

NOTE: Be sure O-rings and seals are kept in good repair.

Compatibility of this product’s material and the process fluid

and/or environment should be considered prior to putting into

service.

Product should never be operated outside its published

specifications for temperature or pressure. See specifications for

your model.

Make sure flow and pressure have been eliminated from process

pipe prior to installing or removing product.

Installation near high electromagnetic fields and high current

fields is not recommended and may result in inaccurate readings.

Do not allow water to freeze in meter. Ice expansion may burst the

plastic housing.

* Nominal flow rate shown. Actual flow is dependent on pipe schedule (wall thickness).

** Maximum water pressure for larger line sizes would be based on the material of the sensor, adapter, and

pipe. ressure is also derated due to temperature (1.20 psi / °F).

INSTALLATION

Step 1

–

Drilling hole:

It is recommended that the saddle/sensor not be located on the very top or very bottom of

the pipe. Ideal performance can be achieved with the saddle mounted at 2 to 4 o’clock or 8

to 10 o’clock. Hole should also be drilled perpendicular to the pipe centerline and tangent to

the curvature.

Step 2

–

Mounting the saddle:

The saddle will need to be preassembled to insure the fit is proper. Assemble the hardware

as shown in Figure 1. Tighten only the bottom nuts that hold the threaded studs to the

saddle.

Figure 1

Place gasket over hole in pipe, place pre-assembled saddle from above over gasket. Be sure

saddle engages hole properly and saddle contour matches pipe’s outside diameter. Attach 2

each band clamps as shown in Figure 2 and tighten with 7/16 inch wrench. Recommended

Torque is 75 IN-LB.

NOTE: Clamps can loosen when mounted to plastic pipe, due to thermal contraction.

Figure 2

INSTALLATION (Continued)

Step 3

–

Mounting the sleeve:

Remove the top two nuts and pull sleeve from saddle. Using a tape measure, measure the

distance from the lip of the inside of pipe to the top of the saddle. Reference the asterisk in

Figure 3.

Figure 3

Transpose this measurement onto the sleeve as shown in Figure 4 and mark with a

permanent marker.

Figure 4

INSTALLATION (Continued)

Place the marked sleeve back into saddle, engaging the threaded studs to the depth marked.

Twist the bottom nuts upward to bottom of sleeve flange, replace the two nuts removed earlier

and tighten all nuts with 7/16 wrench. See Figure 5.

Figure 5

Step 4

–

Mounting the sensor:

Note the flow arrows on the side of the sensor; these must point downstream. Insert sensor

into sleeve, press down until hole in sensor matches hole in sleeve. Insert retention pin. Final

sensor depth should match that shown in Figure 6.
