Fox Thermal FT3 - Quick Start Guide; Step-by-Step Installation and Verification

1.
Record inside diameter (ID). Ensure the actual pipe ID
matches the pipe ID shown on the factory calibration
certicate. If IDs do not match, refer to "Pipe Area" on
page 68.
2.
Record up/downstream straight-pipe requirements
based on Pipe ID and meter style (insertion or inline).
[refer to p. 21]
3.
The Flow Direction Indicator must point in the
direction of ow.
4.
Ensure correct probe depth setting. If using 1 ½" size
pipe, please see note on p. 24.
5.
Ensure power wiring [p. 36] properly connected.
[refer to Wiring section p. 33 for more information]
6.
Ensure remote wiring is correct if remote option
ordered.
[refer to p. 48 for more information]
7.
Verify you have the proper output signal wiring
[refer to p. 38 - p. 45 for more information]
8.
Power on the ow meter.
9.
Check the remaining ow meter settings by accessing the meter settings either through the front panel
of the display or by using the FT3 View™ software tool. Record the settings in the spaces given for
items A - E on the following page.
Use the table below as a guide while using the worksheet on the next page to record your notes.
