Xplorer GLX Setup
Make sure that the Xplorer GLX is turned on, and insert the General Flow Sensor into one of the PASPORT input
ports at the top of the GLX.
• In the GLX Home screen, use the cursor buttons to highlight “Sensors”
and then press the “Checkmark” button.
• In the General Flow Sensor screen, use the “Up” and “Down” cursor
buttons to select a choice such as “Pitot Air” and then press the
“Checkmark” button to change the selection from “Visible” to Not Vis-
ible”, or vice versa.
• Press the “Home” button to return to the Home screen, and use the cur-
sor buttons to select a display. Press the “Checkmark” button to open
your display choice.
Care
After use with fluids, care should be taken to remove all fluid from the
hoses that attach the sensor to the Venturi Tube or the Pitot Tube. Fluids left
in the hoses may migrate into the sensor and cause damage over time.

• Pump Delivery Studies - Measure fluid velocity as a function of pump speed and working head
• Measurement of Velocity and Pressure Losses in Piping Networks (when used with the PS-2107 Absolute
Pressure Sensor and the ME-2224 Pressure Tap)
