3 Introduction INTRODUCTION The Preso Model PFA Fire Pump System is FM-approved and features the Preso Ellipse primary flow sensor. The Preso patented elliptical design outperforms and provides greater accuracy than traditional differential pressure flow measurement devices. This differential pressure flow meter is designed with a series of ports facing the upstream velocity pressures, as well as flow sensing ports strategically located ahead of the trailing edge flow separation. The multi-ported, self-averaging flow element consists of an elliptical shape with two independent flow sensing chambers. The impact velocity sensing holes (high pressure) are located along the leading edge and the true static sensing holes (low pressure) are on the exterior probe side. Model PFA Fire Pump System comes with instrument shutoff valves with provisions to accept a direct indicating meter.

5 Installation Instructions, Single Support INSTAATION INSTRUCTIONS, SINGE SUPPORT 1. Choose the proper location to install the PFA Fire Pump System Ellipse using AGA/ASME standards (or equivalent). See ocation Instructions on page 7.. Grind the surface of the pipe where the PFA Fire Pump System Ellipse is to be inserted to provide a clean area for welding. 3. Weld the supplied weld-o-let to the pipe using standard codes for your application (1/16 in. weld gap recommended). Take care to protect the threads during the welding process. 4. Drill a hole through the pipe wall according to Table. 5. Deburr the hole just drilled, especially on the inside of the pipe. Pipe Size Model / Sensor Weld Connector Drill Bit 5 in.

Install the supplied compression fitting by threading it into the weld-o-let manually. Then with a wrench, tighten the fitting another 1-1/4 turns, taking care not to tighten the compression nut. 7. Install the instrument valves at the PFA Fire Pump System Ellipse head connections. Make sure the valves are FUY COSED to prevent them from leaking during startup. 8. Insert the PFA Fire Pump System Ellipse through the compression fitting. See Figure 4. Carefully push the sensor by hand further into the pipe until it reaches the opposite wall. 9. While holding the PFA Fire Pump System Ellipse in its fully inserted position, align the arrow located on the sensor head with the direction of flow. See Figure Thoroughly tighten the compression nut in order to prevent leakage. After tightening the compression nut manually, turn it another 1-1/4 turns with a wrench. INSTAATION INSTRUCTIONS, DOUBE SUPPORT 1. Follow steps 1 through 7 in Installation Instructions, Single Support. At 180 from and on the same plane as the previously drilled hole, grind the surface of the pipe to provide a clean area for welding. Drill a hole and deburr, especially on the inside of the pipe. The hole used for the double support should be sized according to Table 3.. Weld the double support weld-o-let making sure that it is centered with the drilled hole (1/16 in. weld gap recommended). 3. Install the PFA Fire Pump System Ellipse sensor through the two holes. Make sure that the double support pin passes through the guide ring. See Figure Align the arrow located on the sensor head in the direction of flow as in step 9, Installation Instructions, Single Support in.. 5. Make sure that the PFA Fire Pump System Ellipse is in the correct orientation and spans the inside of the pipe. Tighten the compression nut manually, then tighten it 1-1/4 turns more using a wrench. 6. Install the plug into the end of the double support weld-o-let. Tighten the plug to prevent leakage.

8 Ellipse Pitot Tube Meter, PFA Fire Pump System GAGE INSTAATION 1. The connecting tubing between the PFA Fire Pump System and the gage should be as short as possible and should slope down a minimum of 1 inch per foot.. Secure and support the tubing to prevent sagging and/or vibration. 3. Make sure the head heights are even. 4. Run a bleed line from the gage vent valves to a pan or drain. GAGE OPERATION 1. Identify i and o pressure inlets on the gage.. Make sure the bypass valve (blue) is OPEN! GAGE MAY BE DAMAGED IF INITIAY PRESSURIZED WIT TE BYPASS VAVE COSED. 3. Connect the gage to the corresponding i and o pressure taps of the PFA Fire Pump System (via three-valve manifold, if being used). 4. Open the i and o instrument valves on the PFA Fire Pump System. 5. Alternately open the i and o vent valves to purge the lines. 6. When venting is complete, close the bypass valve to begin taking reading. Control. Manage. Optimize. is a registered trademark of Badger Meter, Inc.
