Metering Monitors "Flow Control" sizes 3 ... 5 are suitable for metering pumps of product range
Sigma/ 1, Sigma/ 2 and Sigma/ 3 and size 3 for metering pumps of the product range delta® with
plastic liquid ends. The metering monitor can be mounted directly onto the dosing head with liquid
ends with built-in relief valve. The metering monitor is supplied complete with a connecting cable.
The metering monitor enables the pulse of the volume flow to be monitored based on the float prin‐
ciple. The partial volume of the feed chemical flowing past the float is adjusted to the stroke volume
set on the metering pump by the rotary dial. An alarm is triggered if capacity falls below the set value
The maximum permitted number of incompletely performed strokes can be set at between 1 ... 127
on the metering pump to ensure optimum adaptation to the requirements of the process.

2.3 General Safety Information
WARNING!
Danger from hazardous substances!
Possible consequence: Fatal or very
serious injuries.
Please ensure when handling hazardous
substances that you have read the latest
safety data sheets provided by the manu‐
facture of the hazardous substance. The
actions required are described in the
safety data sheet. Check the safety data
sheet regularly and replace, if necessary,
as the hazard potential of a substance can
be re-evaluated at any time based on new
findings.
The system operator is responsible for
ensuring that these safety data sheets are
available and that they are kept up to date,
as well as for producing an associated
hazard assessment for the workstations
affected.
WARNING!
Unauthorised access!
Possible consequence: Fatal or very
serious injuries.
– Measure: Ensure that there can be no
unauthorised access to the unit
WARNING!
Operating faults!
Possible consequence: Fatal or very
serious injuries.
– Ensure that the unit is only operated
by adequately qualified and techni‐
cally expert personnel
– Please also observe the operating
instructions for any other units, such
as the metering pump etc.
– The operator is responsible for
ensuring that personnel are qualified
WARNING!
When metering aggressive media, take
into consideration the resistance of the
materials used – refer to the ProMinent®
Resistance List in the latest product cata‐
logue or at www.prominent.com.
NOTICE!
Life phases of the unit
You have a duty to observe the informa‐
tion contained in the operating instructions
at the different phases of the system's
service life

NOTICE!
National regulations
Please observe the relevant national regu‐
lations and the information provided in the
operating instructions at all phases of the
unit's service life
2.4 Intended Use
NOTICE!
Intended use
The Flow Control is solely designed for
reporting back to a metering pump of the
product range gamma/ L the pulses of the
volume flow in the liquid feed chemical
from it. If there are no acknowledgement
pulses, the Flow Control thereby indicates
that no medium is being metered, e.g. pos‐
sibly due to a blocked suction or discharge
line on the metering pump, empty dosing
tank or air in the liquid end etc.
Only use the unit in accordance with the
technical data and specifications provided
in these operating instructions and in the
operating instructions for the individual
components.
All other uses or modifications are pro‐
hibited.
NOTICE!
Without adapter
The Flow Control can only be screwed
directly (without adapter) onto plastic liquid
ends.
Rupturing of the discharge line
The Flow Control cannot display a rupture
of the discharge line on the metering
pump.
