INSTALLATION
1. Remove packing material from switch body-cap and remove tape
from magnet keeper. Adjust vane length if necessary on multi-layer
vanes only (see flow rate charts on next page). Install switch in
thredolet previously welded to
necessary to install the switch in a flange or tee (see installation
drawings on next page). Note: extreme care must be exercised in
welding the fitting to the line so that it is plumb and level.
ADJUSTMENT OF MULTI-LAYER VANE
Remove only those layers which are too long. Leave the smaller
layers to reinforce the vane. The longest vane fits 6˝ (150 mm) or
larger pipe, the second longest vane fits 4˝ (100mm) pipe, etc.
Actuation-Deactuation rates are shown in the charts on the next
page. To remove vane layers, proceed as follows:
a. Remove the two screws and lockwashers holding the layers
together. Do not lose these special corrosion resistant type 316
stainless steel screws and lockwashers.
b. Remove the unwanted layers.
c. Resecure the vane with the original two screws and lockwashers.
d. With a hammer, lightly peen the ends of the screws so that they
can't back out.
e. If you lose the screws or lockwashers, don't replace with other
parts which may corrode and break. That will void the warrantee and
might cause severe damage to equipment located downstream of
the switch.
Note: Custom vane units have been calibrated at factory to meet
requirements. Do not change.
2. The arrow on the side of the switch must point in the direction of
flow.
3. Wiring: UL and CSA units only: thread connecting wires through
conduit and connect. Wire in accordance with local electrical codes.

Blue - N.O.
Red - N.C.
Note: Double pole, double throw switches have dual black,
blue and red leads. These are connected in the same manner
as single pole, double throw switches, as described above.
EC-Type Certificate Installation Instructions:
Cable Connection
The cable entry device shall be an EEx d certified cable gland
suitable for conditions of use and correctly installed. The certified
cable gland and cable shall be rated for a minimum temperature
of 80°C.
Conduit Connection
An EEx d certified seal device such as a conduit seal with setting
compound suitable for conditions of use and correctly installed
shall be provided immediately to the entrance of the electrical
housing. The certified conduit seal with setting compound and
cable shall be rated for a minimum temperature of 80°C.
Note: The switch is deactivated and contacts are in normal
condition when there is no flow in the line.
4. Make sure conduit or cable are properly sealed. Electrical
components must be kept free of moisture, including condensation,
at all times. CAUTION: To prevent ignition of hazardous
atmosphere, disconnect the device from the supply circuit before
opening. Keep assembly tightly closed when in operation.
Note: ATEX units only: The temperature class is determined by the
maximum ambient or medium/process temperature. The approved
ratings are: T6 -20°C≤Tamb≤75°C. Product may be used in a
maximum ambient or medium/process temperature of 75°C.
