PACKING LIST
Please verify that the product is complete and without any damage.
The following items must be included:
• F3.00 Paddlewheel Flow Sensor
• Instruction Manual for F3.00 Paddlewheel Flow Sensor

DESCRIPTION
The simple and reliable paddlewheel flow sensor type F3.00 is designed for
use with every kind of solid-free liquids. The sensor can measure flow from
0.15 m/s (0.5 ft/s) producing a frequency output signal highly repeatable.
A rugged construction and a proven technology guarantee exceptional
performances with little or no maintenance required. A dedicated electronic,
with a push-pull output, is available for a safe connection to any
kind of PLC/Instrument digital input. A specially designed family of fittings
ensures an easy and quick installation into all pipe materials in sizes from
DN15 to DN600 (0.5” to 24”).

INSTALLATION
Pipe Location
• The six most common installation configurations shown in fig. 1 help in
selecting the best location in the pipeline for paddlewheel flow sensor as well
for magmeter flow sensor.
• The three configurations in fig. 2 ensure that the pipe is always full: for a
correct measurement the sensor can NOT be exposed to air bubbles at any
time.
• The three installations in Fig. 3 should be avoided unless you are absolutely
sure the sensor is not exposed to air bubbles.
• In gravity-flow systems the connection to the tank must be designed so the
level does not drop below the outlet: this to avoid pipe to draw air in from the
tank causing a inaccurate measurement of sensor (see Fig. 4).
• For more information, please refer to EN ISO 5167-1.
• Always maximize distance between flow sensors and pumps.

Mounting position
Measuring part of sensor (rotor for paddlewheel and pins for magmeter)
should be positioned at 12% of ID where, basing on insertion theory, average
velocity can be measured.
The reading accuracy of insertion flow sensors can be affected by:
• air bubbles;
• sediments;
• friction between shaft and bearings (only for paddlewheel).
In a horizontal pipe runs, the mounting position to get the best performances is
at a 45° angle (Fig. 3) to avoid air bubbles as well sediments. Vertical position
(Fig. 2) can be chosen in case air bubbles are not present. Do not mount the
sensor on the bottom of the pipe (Fig. 1) if sediments are likely. Do not mount
paddlewheel at 90° otherwise friction can affect measurement.
Installation in a vertical pipe runs can be done fixing any orientation.
Upward flow is preferred to ensure full pipe.

Process connection
1. Lubricate the sensor O-rings
with a silicone lubricant. Do
not use any petroleum based
lubricant that may damage the
O-rings.
2. Lower the sensor into the fitting
making sure the alignment tab is
seated in the fitting notch.
3. Hand tighten the sensor cap.
Do not use any tool otherwise
cap and/or fitting threads may be
damaged.

WIRING
General recommendation
• Always ensure the power supply is switched off before working on the sensor.
• Always use a high quality (regulated) DC voltage supply.

K-FACTOR TABLES
K-Factor is the number of pulses which a sensor produces for one liter of
measured fluid. Here below all K-Factors for water at room temperature are
listed.
K-Factor values can depend on the installation conditions. K-Factor has to
divide the frequency generated by F3.00 in order to achieve the flow rate (l/s).
Please contact your dealer for K-Factor values not included in the table.

Correction formula for K-Factor calculation according to real internal
diameter:

K-Factor_NEW = (K-Factor x ID²) / ID_NEW²

ID = Value in the table for the internal diameter (in mm)
ID_NEW = New value for the real internal diameter (always in mm)
K-Factor = Value in the table
K-Factor_NEW = New K-Factor value for the specified internal diameter

Example:
Nominal Pipe Size (DN) = 100 mm
New Internal Diameter = 104 mm
Forumla: K-Factor_NEW = (51.02 x 100²) / 104² = 20,52
