QUICK-START INSTRUCTIONS
This manual contains detailed operating instructions for the
FUSION flow meter. The following condensed instructions are
provided to assist an experienced operator in basic operation of
the instrument. If the operator is unfamiliar with this type of
instrument, refer to the detailed explanations located on pages 9-
32.
1. MOUNTING LOCATION Determine the proper mounting
location for the flow meter by referring to Figure 1 below.
The pipe must be completely filled with liquid while
measurements are being made—avoid installations where
pipes can become partially filled. (It is acceptable to have the
pipe drain out when the pump or valve is turned off, so long
as the pipe refills completely when the pump turns on or the
valve opens.)
2. PLUMBING FUSION is equipped with an IN directional
arrow pointing in the flow direction that will produce positive
readings with the FLO DIR set to POS. Mount the meter for
best viewing of the display regardless of the flow direction;
the direction can be changed in CONFIGURATION. The flow
meter is equipped with NPT female threads. Apply pipe
sealant or tape to mating components and tighten securely.
For best accuracy, install a straight pipe nipple that is a
minimum of 10 times the pipe ID immediately before the
FUSION flow meter. It is recommended that a pipe union be
utilized near the flow meter to facilitate easy removal of the
meter for service.
