The Flowmeter must be installed in the main boom line after
any strainers, return lines, or valves. Se cure ly mount flow-
me ter (hardware not supplied) in a vertical position in an
area away from in tense vibration. DO NOT install flowmeter
closer than 12” to the servo valve or the boom shut-off
valves. The flow meter is a bidirectional meter (exception:
Polmac’s 1½” - 3”). Liquid can flow in either direction, but up
is preferred, especially at rates below 5 GPM (19 lpm). Make
con nec tions us ing 3/4” fit tings without the use of reducers,
elbows or sharp bends for a minimum of six inches (15 cm)
either side of meter. See Illustration 11. Save plastic plugs to
protect flowmeter during storage. (The flow me ter may need
periodic cleaning, so it should be easy to remove).
Installing Flow Sensor Cable
With the flowmeter in place, install the flow sensor cable.
The flow sensor cable has a GREEN sensor body and mates
with the main harness cable, having a GREEN cable tie near
the 3-pin M/P connector. Screw sensor all the way into hole
of flow me ter. Tighten 3/8” jam nut to lock sen sor in place.
Uncoil flow sensor cable and carefully route it to meet the
main harness flow connector marked with GREEN tie. Align
connectors and press firmly together until locking tab clicks
into place. Secure cable with ties provided. See Illustration 12.
NOTE: Sensors with GREEN bodies can be used for either
SPEED or FLOW but not for RUN/HOLD.
