Installing a Flow Sensor

Modified on Wed, 13 Nov at 6:39 PM

The NLP organizes flow meters Hydraulically & can accommodate up to 20 flow sensors installed anywhere along the 2-Wire path. A flow sensor requires our universal sensor decoder (SD-110). The NLP has most common flow meters saved as preset SD-110 configurations for ease of set-up. 


Note: The following meter types are saved as preset configurations*:

  • Tucor UFMV-A
  • Tucor UFM
  • Flomec QS-200
  • CST FSI-T10/15/20
  • Badger 220
  • Badger 228BR25xx
  • Badger 228CB20xx
  • Bermad 900 DN40-DN100
  • Bermad 900 DN150-DN200
