Mounting

Proper mounting is essential for the successful operation of the eFlo instrument.  The eFlo main body and electronic housing can be mounted together or separately depending on the customer’s requirements. The main body of the eFlo contains four (4) threaded holes for mounting to a panel.  The holes are ¼”-20 threaded and approximately 3/8” deep positioned in a row (see dimensional drawings in Appendix 1).  The eFlo assembly can also be supported by inlet & outlet piping without using the mounting holes if desired.  However, ensure that the pipe is rigid enough to support the weight of the meter assembly if mounting in this manner.

 

The electronics enclosure comes attached to the top of the meter main body (see Appendix 1).  The enclosure can be mounted remotely as well (up to 20’ away) depending on the customer’s requirements.  Cabling between the main body and electronic enclosure is possible with a remote display kit.  Please contact SSi if there are any questions or concerns about mounting the electronic enclosure remotely.

 

The direction of flow through the meter is critical since the pressure transducer has a high pressure and low pressure side specifically required.  The meter is designed for flow as-indicated in Appendix 1.

 

SSi recommends mounting the eFlo vertically with the media flow direction upwards.  This is especially important for the eFlo-L used for liquids.  If another orientation is required, please contact SSi prior to mounting.
