Page 10: Install Flow Sensor
FP4000 Rev0204 Install Flow Sensor There are several ways to install FRC paddlewheel type flow sensors. Mounting options include saddle clamps, weldments, pipe tees, and special adapters. Each mount will meet particular plumbing requirements. Flow sensors are interchangeable. It is recommended that the calibration be checked if flow sensors are swapped. -
Page 11: Figure 3. Flow Sensor Location Guidelines
FP4000 Rev0204 The preferred location for the mounting of a flow sensor is on the top half of the pipe. The best orientation is vertical. If the sensor is mounted on the bottom of the pipe, it may be susceptible to the accumulation of dirt. - Page 12 FP4000 Rev0204 Saddle Clamp Installation Note: Ensure that the mounting location meets the requirements for uniform water flow. (Refer to Flow Sensor Location.) Note: Ensure that there is enough room for the saddle clamp, sensor, and connector to fit. (Refer to Figure 4.) 1.

Page 16: Install Pressure Transducer
FP4000 Rev0204 Install Pressure Transducer The pressure transducer is mounted on the downstream side of the discharge valve. Pressure transducers are interchangeable. It is recommended that the calibration be checked if pressure transducers are swapped. Note: Install the pressure transducer upright so water in the end of the pressure transducer is able to drain back into the pipe. -

FP4000 Rev0204 Program Features See Programming section for more detailed information. High and Low Flow Warning (Codes 315 and 316) When the flow rate is above the programmed high flow value a flashing -HI- will show in the digital display. When the flow rate is below the programmed low flow value a flashing -LO- will show in the digital display. -
Page 21: Programming
FP4000 Rev0204 PROGRAMMING The two operator selectable modes are display module identification and program access. These modes are selected and inputs are made by using the three magnet sensors on the front of the display module. The digital display will show stored data and operator inputs. -

Page 23: Program Access Mode
FP4000 Rev0204 Program Access Mode When in the program access mode the digital display will show operator inputs, program options, and error codes. To gain access to the program features a three digit program code must be entered. Review the Program Code Descriptions or refer to Table 2. -
Page 24: Program Code Descriptions
FP4000 Rev0204 Program Code Descriptions When a valid three digit program code has been entered a program value or option will show in the display. The M1 and M2 sensors are used change the data. The M1 sensor will select the digit that is to be changed. The digit will flash. The M2 sensor will change the digit that is flashing or change the option choice. -

Select Different Calibration Point E208 Memory Failure Contact FRC • Refer to Program Code Descriptions for detailed information. • There is a timeout feature that will return the program to normal operation in three seconds if input is not detected at the magnet sensors. - Page 26 FP4000 Rev0204 Code 316 Low Flow Warning Factory programmed value:0 (Low flow warning is disabled.) Options: 0001 to 9999 This code will allow the low flow rate warning to be set. When the flow rate is below the low flow warning program value, the flow display will alternately flash between the flow rate and -LO- .
- Page 27 Select a different point to continue with the calibration procedure. Error Code E208 There is a failure with the internal memory of the module. Contact FRC if this error code is displayed. Exit Program Access Mode Touch the magnet on the glass at the M3 sensor and hold it there until four dashes are shown in the display.

Page 28: Calibration
FP4000 Rev0204 CALIBRATION The INSIGHT ULTIMATE pressure gauge and digital flowmeter is precalibrated and tested at the factory. Plumbing systems are always unique and may cause small deviations in the factory calibration. The pressure gauge/flowmeter should be checked after installation for accuracy and calibrated when necessary. To calibrate the digital flowmeter use a precalibrated water flow test kit (connected to the discharge according to the instructions provided with the test kit) or a pitot gauge as a reference. - Page 29 FP4000 Rev0204 Flow Calibration, Multiple Point (Code 322) This function allows for the display to be calibrated at multiple flow rates. It corrects for nonlinear flow in difficult to plumb locations to provide an accurate flow rate display. Select flow rates to calibrate (up to 10 calibration points) that are within the most commonly used flow range for the discharge.
- Page 30 FP4000 Rev0204 Pressure Calibration (Code 323) To calibrate the pressure gauge use a calibrated test gauge or a master pressure gauge as a reference. During the calibration procedure the pressure indicating needle will not move. This procedure sets the pressure values in the program. During normal operation the microprocessor controls the needle movement.
