GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Components
The INSIGHT ULTIMATE pressure gauge/flowmeter consists of the following
components:
Display Module
Pressure Transducer
Paddlewheel Flow Sensor and Sensor Housing Assembly
External Module Totalizing Button (Optional)
Cables
Display Module
The pressure gauge/flowmeter display module is waterproof and has dimensions
of 4.4 inches high by 4.4 inches wide by 3.4 inches deep. It is available with optional
NFPA color coded bezels. (The bezels are an intricate part of the display module and
must be factory installed.) All controls and indicators are located on the front of the
display module. (Refer to Controls and Indicators.)
Pressure Transducer
The pressure transducer provides an input signal to the display module that is
proportional to the discharge pressure. It is mounted on the downstream side of the
discharge valve. The electrical connector is waterproof and molded into the pressure
transducer housing.
Paddlewheel Flow Sensor
The flow sensor provides an input signal to the display module that is proportional
to the discharge flow rate. It is mounted in the discharge piping. Placement of the
sensor in the piping is critical to obtaining accurate flow rate information, refer to the
installation procedures for detailed information on mounting locations. The electrical
connector is waterproof and molded into the flow sensor housing.
External Totalizing Button (Optional)
The totalizing button allows the operator to display the total flow for a discharge.
When the button is pressed the number shown in the digital display times 100 will be
the total flow.
Cables
Interconnecting cables are provided. Refer to Wiring section.
