Installation and Operation Instruction
The Bluetooth® Commissioning Meter FlowCon
FBT is a pressure and flow meter with integrated
Bluetooth® communication, intended for HVAC
applications. In combination with the FlowCon
App, the FlowCon FBT can provide system
readings via Bluetooth®. Data includes ΔP and
Flow based on selected valve and setting. The
FlowCon FBT consists of a handle and a plug-in
module. The module is as standard 0-700 kPaD
(PT85 for FBT25), alternatively a module with a
wider range of 0-2000 kPaD (PT86 for FBT30)
can be selected.
Step 1:
Fitting Plug-in Module and Hoses
1. Remove the top cover by pushing the release
button on the backside of the handle and pull
out the cover.
2. Fit the FBT plug-in module in the handle,
knob facing forward, and push until it clicks
in place. If it needs to be taken out, release
the plug-in module by pushing on the release
button on the backside of the handle and then
pull the plug-in module out.
3. Connect the hoses to the plug-in module. Blue
hose connects to blue fitting and red hose
connects to red fitting.
4. Finger-turn the knob on the FBT clockwise until
end position.

Step 2:
Bluetooth® Connection
1. Turn the FlowCon FBT on by pushing the 
on the front of the handle for 3 seconds until
the LED starts blinking. First it will very shortly
show a green constant light, then it will shortly
blink in yellow and turn into blinking rapidly
in blue. This indicates that the FBT is ready
for Bluetooth® connectivity. It will stay in this
mode for 60 seconds. If it is not connected to
a smart phone during this period, it will auto-
matically switch power off.
2. Connect smart phone and FlowCon FBT via
Bluetooth® menu. The LED on the FBT will
now blink slowly green.
3. Open the FlowCon App and follow these steps:
• Tap 'Connection' and press 'Search'.
• From the list you should see CAPBs PTxx.
Select this and press 'Add'.
• From the next page select the 'Product Type'
from the dropdown menu and edit Max. Flow
or Setting if required (setting is only visible
where applicable) and tap 'Add'.
• Tap CAPBs PT85 and get the readings on
ΔP and flow on the following 'Information
Page'. Pressure- and flow units can be chang-
ed in the App under 'Setting'.
Note: that for any actuated valve, measurement
can only be done with actuator fully open allow-
ing max. flow according to setting.
IT IS IMPORTANT to connect the FlowCon
FBT to the App BEFORE fitting the p/t
needles in the valve p/t plugs.
