NOTICEThe gap drain is not designed to catch the maximum discharge possible from the relief valve. The installation of FEBCO air gap with the drain line terminating above a floor drain will handle any normal discharge or nuisance spitting through the relief valve. However, floor drain size may need to be designed to prevent water damage caused by a catastrophic failure condition. Do not reduce the size of the drain line from the air gap fitting.

Creative Sensor Technology FSI series flow sensors feature proven impeller based technology designed for flow monitoring/flow control applications in irrigation, water conservation and related industries. The PVC sensor with socket connections is offered for service in PVC piping systems. Designed by the same team who created the original impeller flow sensor, this sensor is a completely new custom molded design. The sensor features a digital output signal proportional to flow. The electrical characteristics of the output signal duplicate existing impeller flow sensor signals making the FSI series sensor compatible with all manufacturer’s control products. The pulse signal will travel up to 2,000 feet without amplification. The key elements of this new technology are a proprietary mounting tee, ultra-lightweight impeller and solid state sensing electronics giving the FSI series sensor improved performance.

FSI-T Series Flow Sensor

Installation Guide Introduction:

Creative Sensor Technologies impeller flow sensors provide accurate digital output signals proportional to the velocity of the liquid flowing through the mounting tee. The square wave digital signal is converted to flow rate by the receiving monitor or control device using calibration constants supplied by CST.

The sensor uses the same two wire path for power supply and signal output. The sensor circuit contains a pre-amplifier allowing the signal to travel up to 2,000 feet using shielded, twisted pair cable.

The flow sensor housing, held in place with a retaining nut, contains the detection circuitry and carries the unique four-bladed impeller on a transverse axle. The housing and mounting tee are custom molded to form an integrated measurement chamber resulting in highly accurate, repeatable flow measurements through a wide range of velocities. The axle and impeller along with the sealing o-ring are replaceable in the field.

Mechanical Installation– Location and Orientation: Because an impeller sensor measures the velocity of the liquid and converts it to a flow measurement based on area, proper flow measurement depends on the condition of the pipe interior and the sensor’s location in the piping system. The pipeline must be full, free from trapped air, floating debris and built up sediment. The mounting tee should be installed with a minimum of 10 diameters of straight pipe (ex. 15 inches for 1 1/2 inch pipe), upstream and a minimum of 5 diameters of straight pipe (ex. 7 1/2 inches for 1 1/2 inch pipe) downstream to eliminate irregular flow profiles caused by valves, fittings or pipe bends.

1. Always install flow arrow on the mounting tee pointed downstream. Allow 3 3/4” clearance to remove flow sensor housing from tee for service. The tee is usually installed with the housing up in the vertical or 12:00 O clock position. However, if necessary, it may be installed with sensor housing at an angle from vertical to provide clearance. 2. Flow sensors may be installed inside a building, outside above grade or underground. If installed above grade, consider security issues to prevent damage or disassembly. If installed below grade, provide access for service.


PO Box 426, Rochester, MA 02770 Ph: 508-763-8100


3. Flow sensors are most typically installed below grade in a horizontal section of pipe with the sensor housing up. Do not direct bury the flow sensor. Provide a meter pit or valve box of adequate size and drainage to service the sensor. Provide a service loop in the wire connections to allowing the sensor housing to be brought above grade. 4. Flow sensors may be installed on vertical sections of pipe providing that the piping is full

and does not contain trapped air. A vertical pipe with rising flow is preferred over falling flow. The sensor housing may be oriented in any direction radially around the pipe.

Mechanical Installation– Installing sensor in pipe 1. The PVC flow sensor tee features socket ends intended for solvent welding into PVC

piping systems. Use Best Industry Practices to insure that the sensor is installed in the correct position with strong permanent joints.

2. Disassemble the flow sensor before joining the tee to the piping system. Remove the flow sensor housing from the tee by loosing the retaining nut by turning it counter-clockwise and pulling the housing straight out of the tee.

Do not pull on the wire leads! 3. Use appropriate tools to cut the pipe. Remove all chips, filings or cuttings from the pipe. 4. Solvent weld the tee to the pipe using manufacturer’s recommendations. 5. After the joints have set, reattach the sensor housing to the tee. Make sure the housing and tee are clean and free from dirt or debris. Align the arrow on the top of the housing with the downstream direction. This will align the guide key on the housing with the slot inside the tee. Push straight in so that the key enters the slot until the o-ring seals the opening. Slide the retaining nut over the wire leads and tighten by hand by turning clockwise. Do not use sealant or Teflon tape on the retaining nut threads! 1.

Calibration Constants To program the monitor to read flow rate in GPM (gallons per minute). Model FSI-TXX-001 (Standard calibration sensor)- Open controller FLOW set-up screen and find flow sensor “OTHER”. Then, when prompted enter the following: FSI-T10-001 K = 0.322 and Offset = 0.20 FSI-T15-001 K = 0.650 and Offset = 0.75 FSI-T20-001 K = 1.192 and Offset = 0.94

Operation 1. Make sure the flow sensor is assembled and the retaining nut is tightened (hand tight)

before pressurizing system. 2. Fill pipeline and eliminate trapped air. 3. Flow sensor should begin transmitting flow immediately, however most monitors and

control devices have a flow averaging routine that requires several seconds before the device begins to display flow.

4. Always wait for flow to stabilize before setting control limits. Stabilization may take several minutes in large piping systems.

Electrical Installation—001 suffix sensors 1. Two conductors are required to connect the flow sensor to the monitor or control device.

2. The RED lead from the sensor is the + (Positive) lead and the BLACK lead from the

sensor is the - (Negative) lead. Observe polarity when extending these conductors

and connect them to the + and - leads or terminals of the FLOW SENSOR INPUT of the monitor or controller. Do not connect flow sensor to Power or Valve circuits!

3. Use a shielded Direct Burial cable with at least one twisted pair of conductors. Multiple pair cable may be used. Use #20 AWG or larger solid copper wire conductors to extend the distance up to 2,000 feet.

4. Waterproof the splices. The preferred method is the two part epoxy kit, Scotchlok 3570 as manufactured by 3M. Follow all manufacturer’s instructions.

5. Make sure that the flow sensor housing is installed in the tee or the retaining nut is on the wire leads before making the splices.

6. Provide a service loop in the cable to allow the flow sensor housing to be removed from the tee and brought above grade for servicing.

7. Avoid making splices in the direct burial cable.

Combination Air Valve

Description The D-040 series Combination Air Valve has the features of both an air release valve and an air & vacuum valve.The air release component is designed to automatically release small pockets of air to the atmosphere as they accumulate at peaks or along a pipeline or piping system when it is full and operating under pressure.The air & vacuum component is designed to automatically discharge or admit large volumes of air during the filling or draining of a pipeline or piping system. This valve will open to relieve negative pressures whenever water column separation occurs.

Applications - Pump stations: after the pump and after the check valve.- On main lines and heads of systems.- At the end of lines and at the end of a sub main- On strainers and filters.

Operation The air & vacuum component, with the large orifice, discharges air at high flow rates during the filling of the system and admits air into the system at high flow rates during its drainage and at water column separation.High velocity air will not blow the float shut. Water will lift the float, which seals the valve.At any time during system operation, should internal pressure of the system fall below atmospheric pressure, air will enter the system.The smooth discharge of air reduces pressure surges and other destructive phenomena.The intake of air in response to negative pressure protects the system from destructive vacuum conditions and prevents damage caused by water column separation. Air entry is essential to efficiently drain the system.The air release component releases entrapped air in pressurized systems.

Without air valves, pockets of accumulated air may cause the following hydraulic disturbances: - Restriction of effective flow due to a throttling effect as would a partially closed valve. In extreme cases this will cause complete flow stoppage.- Obstruction of efficient hydraulic transmission due to air flow disturbances.- Accelerate cavitation damages.- Pressure transients and surges. - Corrosion in pipes, fittings and accessories.

- Danger of a high-energy burst of compressed air.- Inaccuracies in flow metering.

As the system starts to fill, the valve functions according to the following stages:1. Entrapped air in the pipeline is discharged by the valve.2. Liquid enters the valve, lifting the float which pushes the sealing mechanism to its sealing position.3. Entrapped air, which accumulates at peaks and along the system, rises to the top of the valve, which in turn displaces the liquid in the valve’s body. 4. The float descends, unsealing the rolling seal. The air release orifice opens and the accumulated air is released.5. Liquid enters into the valve and the float rises, pushing the rolling seal back to its sealing position.

When internal pressure falls below atmospheric pressure (negative pressure):1. The float will immediately drop down, opening the air & vacuum and air release orifices.2. Air will enter the system.

Main Features - Working pressure range: DG-10 0.1-10 bar. D-040 0.2-16 bar- Testing pressure: DG-10 16 bar.

Decoders

DecodersA proven technology on golf courses around the world, Rain Bird decoders provide best-in-class field control on centrally controlled irrigation systems. Installed underground and featuring simple, low-cost wiring, decoders are an aesthetically pleasing, full-featured, economical option for reliable in-field control.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• Improve aesthetics and reduce costs with buried in-field controls.

• Easy system expansion — simply splice into the communication line and add additional decoders.

• Installation requires up to 80 percent less wire than conventional controller systems.

• Electronic components are completely encapsulated to protect against the elements.

• Underground decoders reduce the chance of damage from wildlife, vandals or natural disasters.

• Pre-coded addressing eliminates confusion associated with switch-based addressing.

• With the addition of Rain Bird’s Decoder Programming Unit (DPU), decoder addresses can be reassigned if necessary.

A Cost-Effective AlternativeA simple wiring configuration and absence of valve boxes keeps installation and maintenance costs low. Rain Bird decoders are a “true lower than 30 Volt” system that utilize a two-wire path of 14-gauge wire connecting the central control system, decoders and valves or valve-in-head sprinklers.

Simple, Reliable ControlIf you’re looking for an alternative to satellites, Rain Bird decoders may be the right solution for you. These decoders for your central control system are simple, robust and reliable. They work with your central control system just like satellites but are buried underground away from the elements.

Sensor CapabilityIf you need information from analog, pulse or switch sensors to manage your irrigation, connect the sensor to the SD-210 sensor decoder and view the data at the central. Using Smart Sensor™, sensor data can even be used to control the irrigation.

Excellent for RenovationsThanks to advanced central control technology and simple wiring requirements, decoders are a smart choice for many golf course renovations. Using Cirrus™, Nimbus™ II, and Stratus™ II Central Control systems with Rain Bird’s hybrid feature capabilities, Field Control systems and IC can be mixed and matched on one computer. This makes it easy to expand irrigation coverage using a minimal amount of wire and decoders.

Protect Against the ElementsWith all electronic components fully sealed within a water-tight enclosure and buried underground, damage from floods, frost, rodents or vandals is virtually eliminated. Rain Bird decoders are an especially good choice for flood plains.

An Out-of-Sight SolutionBuried decoder systems leave nothing exposed to the elements. With no evidence of in-field control, this aesthetically pleasing alternative works perfectly in situations where satellites are unwanted or impractical.

In-Field Control OptionsThe addition of decoders doesn’t mean the elimination of in-field control. Decoders can be turned on and off in the field with The FREEDOM System™ or MI Series™ mobile controllers*. The MI Series mobile controller allows precise control of the decoder system anywhere Internet access is available. Another alternative is The FREEDOM System. This handheld radio remote allows you to signal changes to the central control system from anywhere on the course.

The Right Amount of ControlSelect different decoders to operate one, two, four or six solenoids. Five different decoders let you choose the amount of control you need.

The full- or part-circle sprinkler shall be a single stream, water lubricated, gear drive type capable of covering a ____ foot (meter) radius at a base pressure of ____ pounds per square inch (bar) with a discharge rate of ____ gallons per minute (l/h, m3/h).

The sprinkler shall be capable of both full circle and part circle operation in the same unit. The mode of operation shall be selected by inserting a flat blade screwdriver in the top of the rubber cap and turning a selector approximately 45 degrees. The sprinkler shall not reverse direction during continuous operation in the full circle mode. The part-circle sprinkler shall have adjustable arc coverage of 50 to 330 degrees. Arc adjustment can be performed with or without the rotor in operation and shall require only a flat blade screwdriver. The arc adjustment can be performed on both the right and left trip of the sprinkler. The sprinkler shall have a rotating nozzle turret independent of the riser stem. The portion of the riser stem that is in contact with the wiper seal shall be non-rotating.

The sprinkler shall have a non-strippable drive mechanism and permit manual rotation of the pop-up stem in any direction. This shall have no effect on either the drive or the set arc. Once the manual rotation is terminated, the sprinkler shall automatically return the water stream to its preset arc.

The sprinkler shall have a pressure activated, multi-function, soft elastomeric wiper seal. This wiper seal shall prevent the sprinkler from sticking in the up position, and be capable of sealing the sprinkler riser stem to the sprinkler cap under normal operating pressures.

The sprinkler shall have a screen attached to the drive housing to filter inlet water, protect the drive from clogging and simplify its removal for cleaning and flushing of the system. The sprinkler body shall have a 1” (26/34) female (NPT or BSP) bottom inlet. The sprinkler shall have a standard rubber cover which designates each adjustment opening from the top. The sprinkler shall have a two piece, front-load nozzle assembly which will allow the nozzle to be installed without a stator bushing change. The primary and secondary nozzle ports shall be contained in one of the parts and shall be unique to each nozzle size. The tertiary nozzle port shall be common to all of the other primary/secondary nozzle assemblies. The sprinkler shall have a selection of eight color-coded nozzles. All nozzles shall have three ports for optimal close-in, mid-range and long-range water distribution. The sprinkler shall have a stainless steel nozzle retention screw. The angle of trajectory shall be 25 degrees from horizontal.

The sprinkler shall have a strong stainless steel retract spring for positive pop-down. The sprinkler shall have a standard Seal-A-Matic™ (SAM) device capable of holding up to 10 feet (3,1 m) of head. Pop-up height as measured from the top of the cover to the centerline of the nozzle orifice shall be at least 5 inches (12,7 cm). The sprinkler’s overall height shall be 101⁄8 inches (25,7 cm) and the exposed diameter shall be 17⁄8 inches (4,8 cm).

8005-SSWhen so indicated on the design, the rotor shall have a stainless steel covered nozzle turret and riser stem. The riser stem shall be tapered and conform to the standard plastic riser in all other ways.

The sprinkler shall be as manufactured by Rain Bird Corporation, Glendora, California.

Application Guide

Application

Method

Conventional, Airless or Air Assisted Spray

Brush/Roller Suitable for small areas only. Where larger areas are to be coated, application can be improved by thinning with up to 100 ml/litre with

DUTHIN 040 (96542166). When brushing and rolling additional coats may be required to attain the specified thickness. Note – Whenapplying Sparkling Aluminium, colour and appearance are dependent on thinning levels and application technique. The effect achieved by

brush and roller will differ greatly from that obtained by spray application.

When brushing and rolling additional coats may be required to attain the specified thickness.

Conventional

Spray

Thin up to 200ml/litre with Dulux Urethane Thinner (96563023) to aid atomisation. Note – When applying Sparkling Aluminium, colour andappearance are dependent on thinning levels, film build, spraying technique and gun set-up.

Typical Set-up:

Graco Delta Gun 1.4mm (239542)

Pressure at Pot: 70-100 kPa (10-15 p.s.i.)

Pressure at Gun: 380-410 kPa (55-60 p.s.i.)

Airless

Spray

Standard airless spray equipment such as a Graco 30:1 President with a fluid tip of 15-17 thou (0.38-0.43mm) and an air supply capable of

delivering 550-690 kPa (80-100 p.s.i.) at the pump. Thinning is not normally required but up to 100 ml/litre of Dulux Urethane Thinner (965-

63023) may be added to ease application.

Precautions This is an industrial product designed for use by experienced Protective Coatings applicators. Where conditions may require variation from

the recommendations on this Product Data Sheet contact your nearest Dulux Representative for advice prior to painting. Do not apply in

conditions outside the parameters stated in this document without the express written consent of Dulux Australia. Freshly mixed material

must not be added to material that has been mixed for some time. The rate of cure is dependent upon temperature. Do not apply at

temperatures below 10°C. Do not apply at relative humidity above 85% or when the surface is less than 3°C above the dewpoint. Allsurfaces to be coated must be totally free of moisture and contaminants. Note – When applying Sparkling Aluminium, colour andappearance are dependent on thinning levels, film build, application method and technique. Control of these parameters is especially

important when coatings are used on broad, flat areas.

Clean Up Clean all equipment with Dulux Urethane Thinner (965-63023) immediately after use.

Overcoating

The surface must be free of oil, grease and other contaminants. Abrasive blast cleaned surfaces must be primed within 4 hours and before recontamination.

Ensure that in all circumstances epoxy primers and intermediates are topcoated within 24 hours of applying the epoxy. Do not overcoat before the minimum

overcoat interval or wrinkling may occur. If the maximum overcoat interval is exceeded then the surface must be lightly abraded to ensure maximum intercoat

adhesion. Aged coating should be tested for lifting by a method suitable to the coating thickness, for example 'X' cut or crosshatch methods. If it lifts, remove

it. Remove all loosely adhering chalk and dust by high-pressure water wash at 8.3 to 10.3 MPa (1,200 - 1,500 p.s.i.)Abrasion may be required depending on

surface condition.

APPLICATIONS

TAPPING BAND: GUNMETAL—

INSTALLATION GUIDE

Installation —1. Prepare pipe and ensure the area that the

tapping band is to be used is clean. Ensure to remove all dirt and any loose material. Take additional care in the area where the seal is contact the pipe and ensure this section is free from any marks or scores that may cause an issue with the sealing. (Fig. 1).

2. Position the tapping band, starting with the bottom half with the bolts retained. An O-ring is supplied with each bolt to ensure the bolts are retained. Adjust the O-ring as required. (Fig. 2).

3. Now position the top half of the tapping band and align and fit to the bottom, ensure that the seal is positioned correctly, as shown. Whilst holding the bottom tapping band in position and the top in place, finger tighten the nuts until the tapping band halves are evenly positioned around the pipe, leaving an even gap on each side of the tapping band feet. (Fig. 3).

4. Ensure opening of tapping band is correctly positioned for the tapping. Tighten bolts to approximately 20Nm. Both halves of tapping bands should be now sitting in a full circle position. (Fig. 4).
