1.4 WORKING ENVIRONMENT

The on-display version of the FT-4600 was designed for indoor or outdoor installation and use in residential, commercial

and light industrial environments that are free of corrosive liquids and fumes, temperature extremes and excess vibration.

Avoid installing the meter in direct sunlight.

The operating ambient air temperature range is -13°F to 131°F. Electrical power should be relatively clean, free of excess

high frequency noise and large voltage transients.

1.5 SERIAL NUMBER

The serial number of your FT-4600 is located on the side of the enclosure. The serial number is a unique identiﬁer for the

product. Please have this number available when contacting ONICON for assistance.

SECTION 2.0 UNPACKING

2.1 CHECKING THAT YOU HAVE RECEIVED EVERYTHING

The FT-4600 is generally shipped in one package unless optional hardware or equipment is ordered. Notify the freight

carrier and ONICON if any items are damaged in transit.

The following items have been provided with your FT-4600 Flow Meter:

(2) Line size process connection meter couplings* with male NPT threads and sealing

gaskets (shipped attached to meter)

(1) FT-4600 Meter Certiﬁcate of Calibration

(1) FT-4600 Meter Quick Start Guide

Please notify ONICON if any of these items are missing.

* NOTE: The 2½” version of the meter is provided with ﬂanges.

SECTION 3.0 INSTALLATION

3.1 SITE SELECTION

The FT-4600 Flow Meter should be installed by experienced plumbers, electricians, and others with related knowledge

and experience in the heating, cooling, and ﬂuid metering ﬁelds. ONICON technical support personnel are available via

telephone or e-mail to provide technical assistance before, during and after installation. The installer should use good

trade practices and must adhere to all applicable state and local building or other codes.

Careful attention to the site selection for the meter will help the installers with the initial installation, reduce start-up

problems, and make future maintenance easier. For example, do not install the meter where it will be diﬃcult for personnel

to perform periodic maintenance. When selecting a site, consider the criteria under Section 1.4: WORKING ENVIRONMENT,

as well as the information below.

The following limitations apply to the installation of the meter:

• The ﬂow meter must be correctly oriented with respect to the direction of ﬂow in the pipe. Meters installed with

reversed ﬂow will not function.

• The maximum operating pressure for the ﬂow meter is 400 psi.

• Do not install the meter in close proximity to strong sources of electromagnetic interference

(e.g. electric motors, VFD’s, ﬂuorescent light ﬁxtures, etc.)

3.2 INSTALLING THE FLOW METER

A. This is a recommended position for the ﬂow meter.

B. This is a recommended position for the ﬂow meter.

C. Avoid installation locations where air can become trapped in the piping system, for example, meters

installed between two vertical runs, at a high elevation.

D. This is an acceptable installation location for closed loop pressurized systems.

E. Do not install the meter downstream of modulating valves or partially open valves. Fully open isolation

valves (e.g. ball valves) are OK.

F. Do not install the ﬂow sensor at the inlet of a pump. To prevent cavitation, the minimum operating

pressure at the inlet of the meter must always exceed the pressure drop across the meter. Refer to

Appendix A-1 for calculating pressure the drop at diﬀerent ﬂow rates.

G. Avoid installing the meter downstream of multiple bends out of plane with each other where there are

less than 10 diameters of straight unobstructed pipe between bends.

Before you install the meter, the entire piping system should be ﬂushed and free of debris. Please refer to the diagrams

below when selecting the installation location. Upstream straight unobstructed pipe requirements vary considerably

based on the nature of the upstream obstructions. As a general rule, ONICON recommends a minimum of 10 diameters of

straight unobstructed pipe whenever possible; keeping in mind that it is always recommended that the meter be located

with as much straight pipe upstream as possible.

INSTALLING METER COUPLINGS

• Inspect seating surfaces on the meter’s body and tail piece prior to assembly. Surfaces should be clean and free of

any burs or markings.

• Inﬆall the gasket in tail piece. Thread union onto meter’s body, by hand, until gasket and mating surfaces make ﬁrﬆ

contact. Mark coupling nut and tail piece.

• Place a corresponding mark on the coupling nut, # of degrees (based on table above) counter clockwise. Hold

meter body while rotating coupling nut clockwise until marks line up. DO NOT over-tighten.

• Repeat process on opposite side of ﬂow meter body.

NOTE: Torque setting is not an accurate means of gaging compression on gasket due to the lack of resilience in the

gasket material.

Pressurize system and check for leaks. If any leak is present, DO NOT over-tighten. Relieve pressure and loosen coupling

nuts. Remove and inspect the gasket for damage. Repeat installation process.

ONICON Incorporated 727.447.6140 Page 10 onicon.com

Orient the meter as shown below. The meter may be installed with upward or downward ﬂow in vertical pipes

in closed loop pressurized systems. Avoid any installation locations where the pipe may not be completely full.

Preferred Orientation for Horizontal Pipes

Caps should be horizontal to ensure that no

air is trapped in the body.

Do not orient meter as shown below

Meter Sizes ½ - 1”

Caps that are pointed up or down can trap

air in the body.
