Sensor Element Diagrams
For the FS2000L, there is a flow arrow mark etched onto the sensor element. It is located on the sensor element body close to the housing.
The sensor element can be at any angle as long as the flow direction follows the flow arrow. Liquid applications where the flow element is posi-
tioned other than horizontally, FCI recommends that the flow go in the up direction.
For all models, the position of the sensor element in reference to the media is paramount. With this in mind, the position of the control circuit
enclosure also needs to be considered. After the sensor element is installed, the enclosure cover must be accessible for wiring and servicing. It is
preferred that the conduit port is positioned in a downward direction to reduce the possibility of moisture collecting in the enclosure. The enclosure
may be repositioned by up to ½ turn to facilitate conduit installation.
CAUTION: To minimize the possibility of damage, leave the protective covers over the sensing area until the time of installation.
Take extra precaution with the sensing elements and surface when installing.
For NPT process connections, apply the appropriate sealant compatible with the process media to the male threads. Tighten until the orientation
mark is positioned correctly. Check for leaks.
For flange connections, refer to the installation outline diagrams. The bolt pattern on the process connection flange must be positioned in a way
that the orientation mark on the sensor element ends up in the correct position as mentioned above. Use gasket material compatible to the process
media. Check for leaks.
For sanitary flange connections, use o-rings compatible with the media. Position the o-ring(s) and join the sanitary flanges. Install the flange
clamp(s) snug to permit rotation of the sensor element. Rotate the sensor element until the orientation mark is correctly positioned. Tighten the
clamps and check for leaks.
For butt weld connections, make sure all parts are cleaned. Mount the instrument to check fit. Make sure the flow arrow is in the same direction
of flow. Align the inside diameter (I.D.) of the instrument to the I.D. of the your piping. Tack weld in place. A qualified welder should perform welding
per ASME Section IX, Boiler Code. For best results, 100% penetration with the weld size of 1 ½ times the wall thickness is desired. Check for leaks.
