  • Page 3 Installation and Operation For the TCM Block, high pressure is defined by any application with pressure in excess of 150 psi and less than the max allowable working pressure of 3,500 psi. Proper installation requires inlet flow through one of the two High Pressure SAE 4 thread inlets and return flow through one of the two SAE 4 thread outlets. The flow through the TCM Contamination Sensor is controlled by adjusting the flow control valve to achieve a minimum differential pressure of 40 psi (e.g. for a range of 500-1,000 SUS). Two gauges can be attached to the SAE 4 ports, allowing the operator to see the pressure at the inlet and outlet. While the manifold block is designed for use with low pressure/flow situations, an optional needle valve can be placed immediately following the sensor manifold, especially when influence of air in the fluid is a problem (ISO readings with equal numbers). To achieve ideal operating conditions, the TCM unit should be installed following the factory recommended procedure outlined below and noted in the TCM User Manual: 1. Install TCM in a vertical position, either the in-line version or the Block mounted version 2. Direction of flow: from IN (bottom) to OUT (top) 3. Select hydraulic hose - Minimess DN2 (2mm ID) at IN, max. 630 mm - Minimess DN4 (4mm ID) at IN (when DN2 produces an overly large pressure loss) Schroeder Industries...
