1.1 Description
The Eletta Flow Monitor is used to control and measure flow of liquids and
gases in pipes from size 15 mm to 500 mm (larger pipes as an option). They
have been manufactured for over 70 years and are well known for its reliabili-
ty. They are used where operational safety demands, efficient supervision and
rugged installation is needed, all over the world. Eletta Flow AB in Sweden is
certified according to ISO9001 and ISO14001.
The Eletta Flow Monitor is based on the proven and dependable differential
pressure principle, using interchangeable orifice plates for different measu-
ring ranges. The Flow Monitors are working with different differential
pressure ranges, i.e. 12,5 – 50 and 50 – 200 mbar for the V1, V1SS and
22 – 550 mbar for the V15, V15SS depending on the desired and ordered
flow range. The same goes for our models; D2/D2SS/S2/S2SS and
D5/D5SS/S25 and S25SS. Due to the working principle of the instrument, it
is of utmost importance that the installation instructions (chapter 2) are
followed carefully in order to get the proper function of the instrument.
The Eletta Flow Monitor models V1, V1SS, V15 and V15SS will give you a
repeatable switch point of < 2% if installed in the right way. (See chapter 1.2
“Specifications”, for complete information.)
The Instrument consists of two parts mainly i.e. the Pipe Section and the
Control Unit. The Pipe Section is the part that is to be mounted in the process
pipe and the Control Unit is mounted directly (standard) or remote on/to the
Pipe Section. The Control Unit contains the micro switch (SPDT) and the
electrical connection terminal block. It also contains the mechanical adjusting
dial where you change the setting of the flow alarm tripping point.
The Pipe Sections are available in different process connections with the fol-
lowing standards;
Threaded connections in BSP or NPT from 15 mm (

”) to 40 mm (1

/

depending on the chosen material of construction.
Flanged (wafer) connection from DN15 /PN16 (ANSI 1/2”/150 lbs) to DN
500/PN16 (ANSI 20”/150lbs) depending on the chosen material of construc-
tion.
The Control Units V1, V1SS, V15 and V15SS are equipped with one, freely
adjustable over the whole ordered flow range, micro switch, which can be
set for low/high flow alarm.
