INSTALLATION instructions .
Warning: The Navigator Pro is a sealed unit . Disassembly of the unit will void any warranty . There are no user serviceable
parts in the Navigator Pro display or motor driver . If service is required, the unit should be returned to the factory .

5.3 FLOW AND PRESSURE SENSOR INSTALLATION

The Navigator Pro is capable of reading both flow and pressure . It is not required to have both flow and pressure in-
stalled . The Navigator Pro will automatically detect which sensors are connected . For example, if the system only re-
quires a pressure sensor, then it will adjust the display to show only pressure and valve functions if the flow sensor is not
connected .

5.3.1 Flow Sensor Installation

For accurate flow measurement, Flow Sensors must be installed topside between the 9:00 and 3:00 positions, where
12:00 is the top of the valve . Avoid placing the Flow Meter immediately before an eductor or immediately after a valve
or elbow . Also, the Flow Meter should not be positioned immediately before any pipe size reduction . Unique plumbing
configurations may require Custom Flow Calibration for a more accurate reading (see Flow Setup section below for more
details)
Akron Flow Sensors can be installed in one of 3 ways:
1. Akron Valve Adapters- Specially designed inlet adapters for Swing-Out™ Valves (see current catalog or
web site for a complete listing of adapter options)
2 . Saddle Clamps- 2", 2 ½", 3" and 4" Schedule 40 pipe

4 . Align the locator pin on the Flow Sensor with the hole in the adapter
5 . Push in until fully seated
6. Replace the Nut/Plug and tighten with a wrench
Saddle Clamp Installation Details:
1 . Determine the location in the pipe
2 . Drill a 1 ¼" hole in the pipe*
3 . De-burr the edge and clean the area for a proper gasket seal
4 . Center the saddle on the hole in the pipe
5. Insert the strap(s) into the saddle and hand tighten
6 . Tighten the nuts alternately to 80 ft - lbs .
7 . Install the Flow Sensor as outlined above
*After cutting pipe be sure to flush the system before Valve installation .
