1.0 UNPACKING AND VERIFYING COMPONENTS
The FPI Mag® (Full Prole Insertion) ow meter provides accurate ow measurement for full-pipe clean water
applications. The electromagnetic sensor automatically senses and corrects for shifting velocity in the pipe by
constantly obtaining an area weighted mean velocity. Model 394L is a forward and reverse ow measurement
sensor, and the 395L is a forward only ow measurement sensor. The instrument has all of the features needed to
suit a wide variety of applications.
The ow meter is comprised of the innovative FPI Mag sensor (item #1 below) and a converter (item #4 below). For
converter installation instructions, see the manual provided for the converter purchased with your system.
The sensor is easily installed without service interruption, and requires no site calibration. Installation without
service interruption can be done only when adhering to safe hot-tapping procedures, or in locations already tted
with an appropriate full port ball valve, corporation stop or gate valve.
