Page 2: Important: Read This First
IMPORTANT: READ THIS FIRST DO NOT EXPOSE THE F29 Mk2 TO VIBRATION. INSTALL ONLY IN PIPEWORK THAT DOES NOT VIBRATE. Vibration will damage the electronics within the F29 and will void your product warranty. This F29 programmable fl ow switch has been fully tested and calibrated. It is set to operate in a basic way with most of its special functions and features switched off. - Page 3 LCD SCREEN BACKLIGHT The LCD backlight can be turned on or off. To turn the light off press and hold down the (˅) button. Press and release the (R) button. Release the (˅) button. Repeat to turn the light on. The light remembers the state it was last left in, if power is turned off.
- Page 4 Do not expose the thermoplastic F29-S to static or dynamic pressures greater than 18 Bars, 261 psi. Do not expose the stainless steel F29-SS to static or dynamic pressures greater than 200 Bars, 2900 psi. 5) Do not install the F29 in a section of pipe that is subject to vibration. Vibration will cause premature failure of the electronic components within the F29.
- Page 5 The F29 should be installed in a straight section of pipe preferably with 5 diameters of straight pipe either side of the paddle. The F29 can be installed in a suitable pipe socket, tapping saddle or pipe tee. The F29 can be installed in either the suction or discharge pipework of the pump.

Choose this arrangement if you want to keep pump starts to a minimum and you are prepared to accept the delay in starting associated with the slow pressure fall from the air cell.

If a low fl ow rate is expected through the system the paddle should be cut longer, perhaps until it only clears the bottom of the pipe by 3 to 5mm. If you are unsure as to what length the paddle should be, a paddle trimming calculator is available at: - http://www.kelco.com.au/paddle-trimming-calculator-2... - Page 8 If you know what the expected fl ow rate is the calculator allows you to enter your pipe diameter and paddle dimensions. It will then determine if the selected paddle dimensions are adequate for the application. Spare paddles to suit the F29 Mk2 are available from Kelco or from your distributor.

FITTING THE PADDLE ASSEMBLY To fi t the paddle assembly into the pipework, apply Tefl on tape or thread sealing compound to the thread and use a suitable spanner and the spanner fl ats provided on the paddle assembly (directly above the process connection thread). -

that allows the paddle preload to be reduced. As supplied the sensitivity adjustment screw is wound fully in. In this position the paddle is at its least sensitive. In this position it takes a substantial force from the moving water to move the paddle. - Page 11 WARNING: The contactor control circuit must never exceed 240VAC. Never series connect the F29 relay contacts and contactor coil directly across 2 phases. The F29 requires a stable 220V to 240V AC supply when operated from the mains. It can also be operated from an 18 to 24V AC or DC supply by utilising the low voltage active terminal FELV and neutral terminal N (see the included wiring diagrams).
- Page 12 To use the HD drive, place a heavy link wire between the HD terminal and the Normally Open terminal of Relay 1. WARNING The HD terminal must be left unused or only ever linked to Relay 1 Normally Open. It must never be used for any other purpose and it must never be connected to any external device.

Page 15: Remote Input
REMOTE INPUT WARNING: The low voltage source available at the FELV terminal is non-isolated and must be regarded as operating at full mains potential whenever the F29 is powered from the mains. FELV means Functional Extra Low Voltage and refers to a non-isolated extra low voltage source. - Page 16 EXAMPLE A water tank is located 2000 metres from the F29. Two separate wires each 0.2mm^2 are run to the remote tank (total wire length is 4000 metres). The resistance as measured across the 2 wires back at the F29 (with the tank level switch closed) is 382 Ohms.

set to and then stop for the time set on its stop timer. If a run time is set to some value and the stop time is left set at zero, the fl ow switch will behave as a one-shot batch controller. On pressing the reset button or switching the pump on, the pump will run for the set period and then shut down. - Page 29 restart the pump automatically if it runs dry can be a very useful function.

invoked. If, however, the pump was to start 5 times in a row with less than 10 seconds between the starts the anti-cycling system would be invoked and the pump will shut down. In a conventional pressure system, the anti- cycling function can be used to protect the pump from damage in the event of the system’s air cell losing its air charge. -
