DESCRIPTION
The simple and reliable paddlewheel ow sensor type F3.00 is designed for
use with every kind of solid-free liquids. The sensor can measure ow from
0.15 m/s (0.5 ft/s) producing a frequency output signal highly repeatable.
A rugged construction and a proven technology guarantee exceptional
performances with little or no maintenance required. A dedicated electronic,
with a push-pull output, is available for a safe connection to any
kind of PLC/Instrument digital input. A specially designed family of ttings
ensures an easy and quick installation into all pipe materials in sizes from
DN15 to DN600 (0.5” to 24”).

INSTALLATION
Pipe Location
• The six most common installation congurations shown in g. 1 help in
selecting the best location in the pipeline for paddlewheel ow sensor as well
for magmeter ow sensor.
• The three congurations in g. 2 ensure that the pipe is always full: for a
correct measurement the sensor can NOT be exposed to air bubbles at any
time.
• The three installations in Fig. 3 should be avoided unless you are absolutely
sure the sensor is not exposed to air bubbles.
• In gravity-ow systems the connection to the tank must be designed so the
level does not drop below the outlet: this to avoid pipe to draw air in from the
tank causing a inaccurate measurement of sensor (see Fig. 4).
• For more information, please refer to EN ISO 5167-1.
• Always maximize distance between ow sensors and pumps.

Mounting position
Measuring part of sensor (rotor for paddlewheel and pins for magmeter)
should be positioned at 12% of ID where, basing on insertion theory, average
velocity can be measured.
The reading accuracy of insertion ow sensors can be aected by:
• air bubbles;
• sediments;
• friction between shaft and bearings (only for paddlewheel).
In a horizontal pipe runs, the mounting position to get the best performances is
at a 45° angle (Fig. 3) to avoid air bubbles as well sediments. Vertical position
(Fig. 2) can be chosen in case air bubbles are not present. Do not mount the
sensor on the bottom of the pipe (Fig. 1) if sediments are likely. Do not mount
paddlewheel at 90° otherwise friction can aect measurement.
Installation in a vertical pipe runs can be done xing any orientation.
Upward ow is preferred to ensure full pipe.

WIRING
General recommendation
• Always ensure the power supply is switched o before working on the sensor.
• Always use a high quality (regulated) DC voltage supply.
WIRING DIAGRAMS
F3.00.H IP68 Sensor Connection to FLS Instruments (except M9.20)
Process connection
1. Lubricate the sensor O-rings
with a silicone lubricant. Do
not use any petroleum based
lubricant that may damage the
O-rings.
2. Lower the sensor into the tting
making sure the alignment tab is
seated in the tting notch.
3. Hand tighten the sensor cap.
Do not use any tool otherwise
cap and/or tting threads may be
damaged.
