Install the Water Flowmeter Cable

While the TrackIt Delivery Cycle Monitoring assembly is compatible with certain water flow meters, a flow meter is not included with the assembly. Customers must supply their own. If you have a water flow meter that is not compatible with the Sensor Link, Command Alkon Incorporated recommends you replace them with compatible flow meters.

Water flow meters are available to measure water added, and send electrical pulses to a measurement system (e.g., 100 pulses per gallon). The Sensor Link can also receive these signals and report water added to the driver as well as web reporting services.

A common flowmeter is the CX8 series from Universal Flow Meter, with a 5-pin M12 connector. A 5-pin M12 connector is required if you choose to use a different type of flowmeter.

For proper installation the flowmeter must be installed and mounted inline with the drum water feed. Do not install in the wash water feed.
