INTRODUCTION
Overview
The INSIGHT ULTIMATE pressure gauge and digital flowmeter combines a
traditional style electronic pressure gauge and a digital LED flow display into one
practical display module. The pressure gauge/flowmeter is able to communicate with
other display modules over the FRC datalink. This technology allows for remote
displays, the display of flow for multiple discharges (summing), and the totalization of
flow for multiple discharges (accumulation).
The pressure gauge is an electronically controlled analog display. During normal
operation pressure information is provided from a solid state pressure transducer or the
datalink interface. The pressure transducer provides an electrical signal to the input of
the display module. A microprocessor controls the needle movement to provide an
accurate and steady pressure display. Leakage and freeze-up problems common in
mechanical pressure gauges are eliminated.
The digital flowmeter is a 4-digit LED display. During normal operation flow rate
information is provided from a paddlewheel flow sensor or the datalink interface. This
information is processed and and shown on the digital display as flow rate.
There are two operator selectable modes; display module identification and program
access. The digital display is used to show stored data or operator inputs when a
selectable mode is accessed. In the display module identification mode the digital display
will show the module serial number, manufactured date, software revision, module
function, and ID number. In the program access mode the digital display will show
operator inputs, program options, and error codes. The operator selected modes are
accessed and inputs are made by using the three magnet sensors on the front of the
display module.
All controls and indicators are located on the front of the display module.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Components
The INSIGHT ULTIMATE pressure gauge/flowmeter consists of the following
components:
Display Module
Pressure Transducer
Paddlewheel Flow Sensor and Sensor Housing Assembly
External Module Totalizing Button (Optional)
Cables
Display Module
The pressure gauge/flowmeter display module is waterproof and has dimensions
of 4.4 inches high by 4.4 inches wide by 3.4 inches deep. It is available with optional
NFPA color coded bezels. (The bezels are an intricate part of the display module and
must be factory installed.) All controls and indicators are located on the front of the
display module. (Refer to Controls and Indicators.)
Pressure Transducer
The pressure transducer provides an input signal to the display module that is
proportional to the discharge pressure. It is mounted on the downstream side of the
discharge valve. The electrical connector is waterproof and molded into the pressure
transducer housing.
Paddlewheel Flow Sensor
The flow sensor provides an input signal to the display module that is proportional
to the discharge flow rate. It is mounted in the discharge piping. Placement of the
sensor in the piping is critical to obtaining accurate flow rate information, refer to the
installation procedures for detailed information on mounting locations. The electrical
connector is waterproof and molded into the flow sensor housing.
External Totalizing Button (Optional)
The totalizing button allows the operator to display the total flow for a discharge.
When the button is pressed the number shown in the digital display times 100 will be
the total flow.
Cables
Interconnecting cables are provided. Refer to Wiring section.

Controls and Indicators
All controls and indicators are located on the front of the display module. It contains
the pressure scale and indicating needle, a digital display, and the three magnet sensors.
(Refer to Figure 1.)
Pressure Display
The pressure scale is non-linear and is expanded between 100 and 250 PSI. This
provides for better visibility and more accurate readings in the normal operating range.
Digital Display
During normal operation this 4-digit LED display will indicate flow rate. When
the display module identification or program access modes are selected the digital
display shows module specific information, program codes, settings, and error codes.
See the Programming section for more information.
Magnet Sensors
The operator selected modes are accessed and inputs are made by using the three
magnet sensors M1, M2, and M3 located on the front of the display module. The M1
and M2 sensors are used to input data when in the program access mode. The M3
sensor is used to enter and exit these modes. See Programming section for more
information.
Magnet
The north pole of a small magnet is placed on the glass in close proximity to the
magnet sensor and then moved about 1 inch away to activate the sensor.

INSTALLATION
The FP4000 display module, flow sensor, and pressure transducer are compatible
for use with any size piping.
Note: Plumbing systems are always unique and may cause small deviations
in the factory calibration. It is recommended that the calibration procedure
be performed after installation.
Install Display Module
The pressure gauge/flowmeter display modules are interchangeable. It is
recommended that the calibration be checked if modules are swapped.
Note: It is recommended to have the primary pressure gauge/flowmeter
mounted close to the associated discharge valve.
1. Measure and mark mounting location for display module panel cutout and
mounting screw holes. Make sure there is clearance behind the panel for the
display and cables before cutting holes. Refer to Figure 2 for layout and
dimensions.
2. Cut out a 3.75-inch diameter hole and drill two holes (clearance or tapped) for
10-32 mounting screws.
3. Place display module in position and secure with two screws.
4. Connect the display module cables and wires. (Refer to Wiring section.)

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.
The maximum pressure for a flow sensor installation is 600 PSI.
Flow Sensor Location
The location of the flow sensor in the plumbing system is critical. The flow of
water at and around the sensor must be laminar, or smooth, to ensure accurate flow
rate measurement. There must be enough straight pipe run before the flow sensor location
to allow the water stream to stabilize into a uniform flow. Guidelines for selecting flow
sensor locations are outlined in Figure 3.
When the sensor is mounted after an area in the plumbing that tends to increase
water stream turbulence (a valve, increase in pipe diameter, etc.), it is critical that steps
are taken to stabilize the flow.
•When a pipe is reduced in diameter the water stream tends to be squeezed
into a more uniform flow. This can be used to help stabilize flow when
there is not a sufficient pipe run up stream.
•FRC offers an optional flow conditioner that replaces the standard sensor
housing. It protrudes into the water stream at the sensor location and is
specially shaped to reduce local turbulence.
Linearizer Feature
FRC features a Linearizer function in the calibration programming. This function
should be used when the flow sensor is installed in a plumbing location where flow is
not linear. It corrects for nonlinear flow by allowing the display to be calibrated at
multiple flow rates (up to 10) to provide a more accurate flow rate display. (Refer to
Calibration section.)
