FlowCon FAC6HP COMMISSIONING METER INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTION FlowCon FAC6HP Connect the FlowCon FAC6HP commissioning meter to a valve by the following steps: 1. Ensure that the isolating valve on each tube is closed and that the equalizing valve on the side of the commissioning meter is fully open. 2. Connect each tube (recommended opposite end of the isolating valves, though it does not matter which end) with a p/t needle. 3. Remove metal protection caps on p/t needles. 4. Put the p/t needles into the p/t plugs on the valve that is to be measured. (The red tube is to be connected to the inlet side of the valve and the blue tube with the outlet side). 5. Remove black plastic protection caps on commissioning meter. 6. Attach the tubes to the commissioning meter. (Matching the colors). 7. Open the isolating valves on the tubes. (This will cause water to flow through the tubes and commissioning meter and thus for a short while bypassing the valve). 8. Close the isolating valves. 9. Press any button to turn on the commissioning meter and then press the “ZERO” button on the commissioning meter. 10. Open the isolating valves again. 11. Close the equalizing valve on the side of the commissioning meter. If the commissioning meter is subjected to extreme temperature changes e.g. if transferred from a hot to a cold system (or opposite) or if the commissioning meter has been stored in a cold environment and is used in a warm system (or opposite), it might be necessary for the commissioning meter to stabilize at the new temperature before zeroing (point 9 in the above list). The time necessary to stabilize, depend on the temperature difference.

(This will cause water to flow through the tubes and commis- sioning meter and thus for a short while by- passing the valve). 2. Close the isolating valves. 3. If needed disconnect the tubes from the com- missioning meter. 4. Remove the p/t needles from the p/t plugs on the valve. 5. If needed disconnect the p/t needles from the tubes. 6. When finished replace protection caps on both p/t needles and commissioning meter.
