could occur if not observed. A symbol on the instrument is referenced in the manual with a
precautionary statement.
This is the safety alert symbol. Obey all safety messages that follow this symbol to avoid potential
injury. If on the instrument, refer to the instruction manual for operation or safety information.
This symbol indicates that a risk of electrical shock and/or electrocution exists.
This symbol, when noted on the product, identifies the location of a fuse or current limiting device.
This symbol indicates that the marked item requires a protective earth connection. If the instrument is
not supplied with a ground plug on a cord, make the protective earth connection to the protective
conductor terminal.

Certification
Canadian Radio Interference-Causing Equipment Regulation, IECS-003, Class A:
Supporting test records reside with the manufacturer.
This Class A digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference-Causing
Equipment Regulations.
Cet appareil numérique de classe A répond à toutes les exigences de la réglementation canadienne
sur les équipements provoquant des interférences.
FCC Part 15, Class "A" Limits
Supporting test records reside with the manufacturer. The device complies with Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. Operation is subject to the following conditions:
1. The equipment may not cause harmful interference.
2. The equipment must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
Changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. This equipment has been tested
and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the
equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction
manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a
residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be required to
correct the interference at their expense. The following techniques can be used to reduce
interference problems:
1. Disconnect the equipment from its power source to verify that it is or is not the source of the
interference.
2. If the equipment is connected to the same outlet as the device experiencing interference, connect
the equipment to a different outlet.
3. Move the equipment away from the device receiving the interference.

4. Reposition the receiving antenna for the device receiving the interference.
5. Try combinations of the above.
Chemical and biological safety
D A N G E R
Chemical or biological hazards. If this instrument is used to monitor a treatment process and/or
chemical feed system for which there are regulatory limits and monitoring requirements related to
public health, public safety, food or beverage manufacture or processing, it is the responsibility of the
user of this instrument to know and abide by any applicable regulation and to have sufficient and
appropriate mechanisms in place for compliance with applicable regulations in the event of malfunction
of the instrument.
Product overview
The flow logger collects and analyzes water quality data from water quality sensors. The user can
install the flow logger indoors or outdoors with protection from environmental conditions. There are
two available models, a basic and advanced model. Refer to Specifications on page 3 for the
available sensor options.
The user can configure the measurement parameters from the logger or from a connected computer.
The user can also save a configured program to a USB memory stick and upload the program to the
logger (Figure 1). Refer to Figure 2 for a typical system configuration.

Installation
D A N G E R
Multiple hazards. Only qualified personnel must conduct the tasks described in this section of the
document.
Installation guidelines
• Do not install the instrument in a location that receives direct exposure to sunlight, ultraviolet
radiation (UV), severe weather or next to a heat source.
• Make sure that there is sufficient clearance around the instrument to make connections.
• Install the instrument in an environmental enclosure or protective cover when installed outdoors.
Mechanical installation
Mounting
This instrument is rated for an altitude of 2000 m (6562 ft) maximum. Although the use of this
equipment above the 2000 m altitude does not show any substantial safety concern, the
manufacturer recommends that users with concerns contact technical support.
Attach the instrument to a wall, a rail or a pipe1 with a diameter of 20 to 50 mm (0.75 to 2.0 inch).
Refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5. Make sure that the wall mounting is able to hold 4 times the weight of
the equipment.
