The Flowmeter uses the latest in ultrasonic technology to measure water ow. The technology uses sensors

that communicate with each other using ultra-sonic sound that travels through the Flowmeter pipe. This

allows for accurate and reliable means to measure ow without any mechanical wear or fague. This

module, in connecon with the BLACKCOMB UV system, will allow for the UV system to enter Energy

Saver Mode by dimming the UV lamp when no water is being used aer a period of me. This will reduce

energy costs associated with running the UV system, and prevent over heang of standing water in the UV

chamber during no-ow condions. Once water ow is present the UV system immediately exits Energy

Saver Mode to provide proper disinfecon. The Flowmeter incorporates an internal fail-safe in the case any

failure occurs to make sure that the UV system is properly disinfecng the water at all mes.

Operation & Installation Instructions FLOWMETER MODULE MODEL # LFM-0.5, LFM-0.75, LFM-1 & LFM-1.5 The Flowmeter uses the latest in ultrasonic technology to measure water flow. The technology uses sensors that communicate with each other using ultra-sonic sound that travels through the Flowmeter pipe. This allows for accurate and reliable means to measure flow without any mechanical wear or fatigue.

Installation • Must be installed on the inlet to the UV chamber only. • Recommended to be installed horizontally. Can be installed vertically, but installation must allow the flowmeter to maintain a full volume state at all times in order to operate. • Flowmeter must be orientated with the labeling & LED facing sideways towards the user for proper operation. Depending on the installation, text may be upside down.

Install Procedure – NPT Adapters 1. Place one of the union nuts over an NPT tail piece • Make sure to use plumber’s tape on the NPT thread 2. Install Flowmeter adapter to the piping on the UV chamber’s Inlet. • Flowmeter must be installed horizontally. • Place the rubber washer inside of the union nut and attach the Flowmeter to the union nut • The flow direction arrows MUST pointing to the inlet of the UV chamber. • The union nut only needs to be hand tightened. 4.

OR Operation When the Flowmeter is connected and active on a BLACKCOMB UV system, a new flow screen will appear after the home screen. This flow screen will display the current flow rate in the controllers programmed flow-units, the status of the UV lamp (Full Power or Energy Saver Mode) or Flowmeter error. Flow Rate Screen Energy Save Mode Screen Flowmeter Error Screen Displays the flow rate, indicates full power lamp operation for UV disinfection.
PAGE 6
Energy Saver Mode Operation After 1-hour of no water flow through the Flowmeter, the UV system will reduce the power to the UV lamp (dimmed) for energy savings. As soon as water flow is present in the Flowmeter, the UV system will immediately supply flow power to the UV lamp for proper disinfection.

Step 7) Remove the Flowmeter from the container, empty the cleaning solution from the container, rinse the container out. Place the Flowmeter back into the empty container and fill it up to the Flowmeter case edge with water. Be very careful not to get any water in or on the case, to avoid damaging the device. Allow the device to sit for a few minutes to rinse off any cleaning solution. Step 8) Remove Flowmeter from the container and reinstall the Flowmeter, refer to the installation procedure.
