Variant 2: Installation with three-way test valve (to -40 °C)
Here, a conventional three-way test valve is used.
Install the three-way test valve with pressure sensor fitted at a suitable location next to the
FLOWSIC500. A pressure line serves to connect the pressure measuring connection of the
FLOWSIC500 to the three-way test valve.
Two variants of the pressure connection set with three-way test valve are available. The
type code indicates which variant must be selected.
▸
Check type code, position 6 “p-sensor connection”, on the type plate (→ Fig. 1) of your
FLOWSIC500.
▸
Select the connection set suitable for the pressure connection on the FLOWSIC500,
→ p. 136, §8.1.
▸
For the complete type code description, see → p. 150, §9.4.

1 Fasten the three-way test valve at a suitable location.
1 Remove the dummy plug on the pressure measuring port marked “P
m
”.
2 When the meter body has an NPT 1/4“ thread, first screw in the adapter from NPT 1/4"
to G 1/4" (Part No. 2075562).
3 Screw in the pipe screw fitting for pipe 1/4" or pipe D6.
4 Install the pressure line between the FLOWSIC500 and the three-way test valve.
5 Fit the pressure sensor to the three-way test valve.
