Chapter 1 Introduction This manual contains description, specifications and instruction for the installation, removal, and operation of the OMEGA FP-6000 Series Adjustable Brass Flow Sensor. Please read the manual thoroughly. If you require further assistance, please contact your OMEGA dealer. 1.1 Description The FP-6000 Series is an insertion flow[...]

The linearity and accuracy of the FP-6000 Series sensor depend on predictable flow conditions in the pipe and proper location of the fitting. As with any insertion flow sensor, the pipe must be full and generally free of air pockets. 2.1 Location of Fitting The sensor must be located in a free-flowing straight run of pipe. OMEGA recommends a minimu[...]

3 (max. 30 ° ) will help to avoid these problem areas, but use caution. Excessive angles will cause bearing drag at lower flow rates. On a vertical pipe run locate the sensor where the flow is upward. If downward flow is necessary the system must be designed to prevent air/water vapor pockets from developing in the pipe which will affect the perfo[...]

The following items are required to properly install the OMEGA FP-6000 Series Adjustable Brass flow sensor. 3.1 Hardware, Standard Sensor • female pipe fitting (weld-on or saddle) 1 1 / 2 in. NPT or ISO 7/1-Rc 1- 1/2 •1 1 / 4 in. (32 mm) diameter drill • Pipe thread sealant • Tape measure 3.2 Hardware, Hot-T ap Sensor The Hot-Tap sensor req[...]

5 4. Remove brass sensor nut from sensor. 5. Thread brass sensor nut into pipe fitting. 3.4 Hot-T ap Fitting Installation 1. Install the pipe fitting on the outside diameter of the pipe according to the manufacturer's instruc- tions. Failure to follow these instructions may result in bodily injury and/or product failure. 2. Install the pipe ni[...]

6 4. Open the isolation valve and insert the drill through the valve and cut the sensor clearance hole. After the hole is cut, withdraw the drill from the isolation valve and close the valve. Remove the drilling machine per manufacturer's instructions. 5. Install brass sensor nut/bleed valve into the top of the isolation valve. Make sure the b[...]

H = 5.95 - 0.3 - (0.10 X 2.9) H = 5.36 in. Hot-Tap Sensor H = 15.00 - pipe wall thickness - (0.10 X I.D.) Example: 10 inch schedule 40 wrought steel; Wall thickness= 0.365 in. Inside diamete[...]

8 Once the correct dimensions are calculated and recorded, the sensor can be installed in the fitting. The Standard and Hot-Tap versions require substantially different procedures. 3.6 Standard Installation 1. Thread one hex nut onto each of the three threaded rods included in package. Install threaded rod with a lock-washer onto the brass sensor n[...]

9 4. Place the alignment rod in the hole on the sensor flange. Align the flange so rod is parallel to the process pipe. 5. Thread upper hex nuts with lock-washers until they contact the sensor flange and tighten. Check for proper "H" dimension and readjust if necessary. 5.95 in.

10 3.7 Hot-T ap Installation 1. Thread one hex nut onto each of the three threaded rods included in package. Install threaded rod with a lock-washer onto the brass sensor nut. Secure rods in place by tightening each hex nut against the brass sensor nut. 2. Thread one jam nut and lower hex nut onto each stud so the top surface of each nut is 13.75 i[...]

12 Using the Hot-Tap Installation Tool The Hot-Tap installation tool helps to lower the sensor into place against the pressure in the pipe. 1. Thread protector plate hex nuts onto each of the three threaded rods. Adjust each hex to a height of approximately 1 in. (25 mm) from the top of each rod. Remove the black plastic cable grom- met in top of s[...]

13 3. Align the sensor cable with the swivel mount cable port to prevent cable pinching. Use a 3/8 inch wrench or socket to turn the installation tool shaft clockwise until it is seated in the hole at the top of the sensor flange. 4. Wearing safety face protection, slowly open the isolation valve to the full open position. Loosen the lower hex and [...]

14 4.1 Standard Sensor Removal To remove the Standard FP-6000 Series sensor from a depressurized empty pipe, simply remove the cap nuts and upper hex nuts located above the sensor flange. Pull up on sensor flange with twisting motion. 4.2 Hot-T ap Sensor Removal To remove the Hot-Tap sensor safely from a pressurized active pipe, the entire installa[...]

15 5. Wearing safety face protection, turn the installation tool shaft counterclockwise to withdraw sensor until the sensor flange contacts the upper hex nuts. 6. Raise one lower hex and jam nut to bottom of sensor flange. 7. Close valve, remove bearing plate and tool. To remove the sensor 8. Wearing safety face protection, cover the bleed valve wi[...]

5.1 Maintenance All versions of the FP-6000 series sensor require little or no maintenance, with the exception of an occasional sensor/paddlewheel cleaning. 5.2 Replacement Par ts (Standard version) 1. Standard sensor assembly FP-6000, -6001 2. Rotor kit (bearings, shaft, retainers, and rotor included), see table below ♦ • FP52509-1 kit with st[...]

17 5.3 Rotor Replacement Procedure 1. With a small pair of needle-nose pliers, firmly grip the center of the rotor pin (axle) and with a twisting motion, bend the rotor pin into an "S" shape. This should pull the ends of the pin out of the shaft retainers and free the rotor assembly. 2. Remove shaft retainer from each side by gently tappi[...]
