Peristaltic Pump with FVS

Due to feed rate characteristics of a peristaltic pump, the sensor should be mounted on the suction (input) side of the pump head.

Note: A diaphragm pump requires the sensor to be mounted on the discharge (output) side of the pump head.

Installing the FVS Flow Monitor

The Flow Verification Sensor (FVS) should be installed on the inlet (suction) side of the pump tube. The sensor includes a PVC tubing insert, located inside the sensor's female thread connection, that is designed to seal the sensor onto the pump tube inlet adapter.
Thread the sensor onto the pump tube until the tubing insert is snug against the pump tube inlet fitting. Do not over tighten.
Connect the RED, BLACK, and WHITE wires from the sensor to the RED, BLACK, and YELLOW wires located in the pump's junction box.

Caution: Always wear protective clothing, face shield, safety glasses and gloves when working on or near your metering pump.
Additional precautions should be taken depending on the solution being pumped. Refer to MSDS precautions from your solution supplier.

Note: All diagrams are strictly for guideline purposes only. Always consult an expert before installing the metering pump on specialized systems. The metering pump should be serviced by qualified persons only.
