INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTION AND IDENTIFICATION

INSTRUMENT INSTALLATION
The FS10A is a universal flow monitor and switch specifically designed for gas and liquid process analyzer sampling systems. The FS10A is a fast
responding, highly repeatable sensor which installs easily into a standard tube tee fitting or SP76 (NeSSI) modular manifold.
The FS10 is marked with a flow direction arrow
or “A” etched onto the sensor element. It is located on the flattened area of the sensor body
close to the housing or on the assembled tee. In 1/4 and 3/8 inch tube tees, the “A” should be mounted upstream of the flow to maximize sensitivity
at low flow rates (flow into the “A”). Larger line sizes should follow the flow arrow direction. Refer to Table 1 for optimum results. Where the flow
tube is not included with the sensor assembly, the orientation mark must be parallel to flow (±3°). For liquid vertical flows in particular, FCI
recommends the sensor element be installed where flow is in the up direction. In vertical low flow gas applications, flow in the
down direction is recommended.
As a level device, the orientation mark can be perpendicular or parallel to the liquid level. The sensor element may be installed top mount 90° to
the liquid surface. The sensor element can be at any angle as long as the flow direction follows the flow arrow. Liquid applications where the flow
element is positioned other than horizontally, FCI recommends the flow go in the up direction.
CAUTION: To minimize the possibility of damage, leave the protective covers over the sensing area until the time of installation. Take
extra precaution with the sensing elements and surface when installing.
For NPT process connections, apply the appropriate sealant compatible with the process media to the male threads. Tighten until the orientation
mark is positioned correctly. Check for leaks.
Special Conditions for Safe Use
a. Provisions shall be made to prevent the rated voltage being exceeded by transient disturbances of more than 40%.
b. For applications in explosive atmospheres caused by air/dust mixtures, cable and conduit entries used shall provide a degree of ingress
protection of at least IP 54 according to EN 60529.
c. When the temperature under rated conditions exceeds 158 °F [70 °C] at the cable or conduit entry point, or 176 °F [80 °C] at the branching
point of the conductors, the temperature specification of the selected cable shall be in compliance with the actual
measured temperature.
d. Cable gland assemblies are factory tightened – do not adjust; M12 connectors assembled finger-tight. Mencom MDC-8MR-PG9 or equal
M12 connector is used on FS10A.

Table 1
Grounding
The switch must be properly grounded for safety and operational reasons.
The circuit board is tied to the enclosure case internally and both are tied to the probe assembly. If the installation pipe or vessel is not properly
grounded, connection to earth ground may be connected at the output connector, i.e. M12 or cable pigtail. Use the recommended wire gauge specified for the input power and distance listed in the chart above. Do not connect the earth ground to DC ground (terminals marked “GND”,
“COM” or “-”).
Input Power, 24 VDC
FCI recommends installing an input power disconnect and a fuse near the instrument to interrupt power during installation, maintenance, calibration, alarm selection and troubleshooting procedures. Conduit should also be installed according to the local electrical codes or hazardous location
requirements.
Attach the power leads according to the Input/Output connection schematic on the following page. If the unit has an M12 interface, verify that the
mating connector pin numbers match the designations of the wiring diagram. If the unit is supplied with a cable pigtail, the flying leads should be
connected via an approved terminal block or connector in an electrically safe and approved conduit box.
Attach the wires to the relay and other functions as needed. The relay contact conditions are shown in the alarm state (de-energized). The relay’s maximum rating is 1 A @ 24 VDC/120 VAC (FM only), 24 VDC (ATEX), resistive loads.
Refer to the next section for the set point and alarm state settings.

POWER UP, FUNCTIONAL VERIFICATION AND ADJUSTMENT
Before applying power to the instrument, it is recommended that a third party inspect the installation workmanship. Make sure wires are not pinched
or frayed. Check for matching serial numbers on the sensing element and the control circuit. Verify that the power and alarm circuits are properly
connected. Review the instrument configuration and its application.
Units supplied with LEDs will have at least one LED on or slowly blinking to indicate power on. Apply power and look for the power indicator light.
After power is established let the instrument warm up for 5 minutes. Refer to set-up on following pages. The switch must be properly grounded for
safety and operational reasons.

Switching Inductive Loads
If the FS10A relay contacts are to be used to energize or de-energize an external relay, diode suppression must be used across the external relay coil.
Use the guidelines in the following example to select the proper diode.
A Tyco Electronics relay K10P-11D15-24 is used as a slave relay. The DC coil voltage is specified at 24 VDC and the specification indicates a coil
resistance of 650 Ω. The DC coil current is calculated by dividing the rated coil power by the rated voltage VDC or dividing the rated voltage VDC by
the coil resistance. In this case the current through the coil will be around 37 mA (24/650). Refer to the K10P-11D15-24 data sheet.
It is recommended the diode reverse voltage (Vr) rating be twice or greater the voltage across the relay and the diode forward current (IF) rating be
greater than the relay current. Diodes 1N914 or 1N4148 meet these limits for this case.

SET-UP AND OPERATION
FS10 Function Overview
The FS10 flow monitor may come configured for use as a flow or temperature meter. The output of the switch configuration is a SPDT relay contact or
binary collector to ground [N-channel MOSFET] output (sync). A 4-20 mA output signal is also active as a signal reference. In the transmitter configuration, either the flow or temperature functions may be assigned to the 4-20 mA output. The table below shows the possible output configurations,
including the status of the LED bar display.

• Flow measurement will be mapped using CUST_FLOW_MIN and CUST_FLOW_MAX in the 4-20 mA output configuration.
• Temperature measurement will be mapped using CUST_TEMP_MIN and CUST_TEMP_MAX in the output configuration and reflected
in the 4-20 mA output when configuration 4 or 5 is selected. The default temperature range mapped to the 4-20 mA
output is 0 °F to 250 °F [-17.8 °C to 121 °C]. Rescaling temperature output may be performed with the PC interface program.
The output configuration setting is normally factory set but may be changed in the field if required. Use caution when making any
configuration changes, as the monitor may not have been properly calibrated to accommodate the new setting. Only the RS232 interface may
be used to make a change in output configuration.

FS10 Field Quick Setup Procedure
Quick Setup Mode *
This feature permits field setting the critical zero and span parameters of the FS10A with a single push of the button and throttling the process flow
over the desired range to capture the low and high ends. All defaults applicable to a low flow indication/alarm application apply along with a
trip-point default setting at 30% of span.
To activate the Quick Setup Mode (QSM), simply press and hold for at least 10 seconds:
“ – “ button, for process fluids that are gases or very low flow liquid hydrocarbons
“ + “ button, for process fluids that are liquids or high velocity gases (+50% sensor excitation).
The first three and last three LEDs will alternately flash to acknowledge entry into the Quick Setup Mode. The FS10A is now cued to remember the
lowest and highest flow signal it sees while in this mode. Pressing either button momentarily exits into the normal operating mode and saves the
detected limits as the zero and span. LED’s 1 and 10 and corresponding trip point LED will alternately flash (3 sec), indicating zero and span have
been properly set.
A minimum span setting of 0.05% is required to save new parameters. If minimum span is not reached during QSM, the first two, middle two and
last two LEDs will flash; indicating an error (3 sec) and resume last operation without saving new parameters.
Note:
Apply any desired hysteresis, time delay, failsafe, etc. changes to the standard default settings after establishing the zero
and max flow using the Quick Setup Mode. Entering the QSM resets these parameters to the standard low flow alarm default
settings as defined for bank 1(-button) or bank 3(+button).
Tip:
1) The 4-20 mA analog output is not calibrated and will likely be non-linear over the full range (or span) created during the
QSM. To improve the linearity of the output, set the zero at about 10% to 15% of the span (zero offset). That will remove the
steep portion of the overall output curve and provide a more linear result over the usable span.
2) To use the QSM in the field after changing the factory low flow alarm default settings (i.e. failsafe, hysteresis, time delays,
etc.); setup as desired and save changes to bank 7 (under Calibration Bank Setup window in the PC interface program). Then go
to the Quick Setup Mode window and change the default “Bank Selection” for either the - button or + button to bank 7. Now
when the newly assigned button is used to learn the zero, span and trip point, it will use the saved parameters stored in bank 7.
Recommendations
Gas applications
The high flow limit or span setting is normally the most difficult to stabilize in a gas application; therefore, simulating the desired high flow rate at
normal process conditions and allowing it to stabilize before entering into the QSM is recommended. Using in-line valves or other throttling means,
establish the desired full scale flow rate and allow system to stabilize. Now enter into the QSM (FS10 immediately captures this high flow signal)
and then slowly throttle the flow down until the zero flow setting is reached (i.e. valve closed, no flow). Allow to stabilize, then momentarily press
either button to save parameters and return to normal operating mode with the new scaled operating range established.
Liquid applications
To optimize the performance of the FS10A in liquids, it is critical to establish a stable zero setting under a packed line (full) condition. It is
recommended the FS10A be operating and allowed to come to equilibrium with a downstream valve closed and the line completely filled with the
process fluid and no flow. At this point, enter into the QSM (FS10 immediately captures this low flow signal), and then slowly open the downstream
valve to allow flow up to the maximum span desired. Momentarily press either button to save parameters and return to normal operating mode with
the new scaled operating range established.
In some cases the high liquid flow signal will saturate before reaching the high flow that is simulated, but the FS10A will save the highest value it is
capable of sensing in that application and use it as the high end limit.
Trip point
By factory default, the trip-point is set to 30% of the established span when using the Quick Setup Mode. This may be changed in the field using
the standard button commands (refer to Functions 1 and 2 under Normal set-up and operation using the button interface in the operating manual).
Alternatively, the QSM factory trip-point default of 30% of span may be changed in the field using the PC interface program before entering into the
QSM. Selecting the factory setup option at order will also permit designating an alternative customer desired default value at the factory. Note, this
value is always a % of the established span and alters any previous trip point that may have been attained on a previous setup.
Note:

The 4-20 mA output and relay trip will continue to operate at the previously set range while in the Quick Setup Mode

Summary
1. Activate QSM: Press “-“ button (gas) or “+” button (liquid) minimum 10 seconds (LEDs will acknowledge entry into QSM).
2. Throttle flow valve to simulate zero and full scale flow.
3. Press either button momentarily to save parameter values and exit into normal operating mode.
* FS10A with Firmware version 4.0 or greater
FS10 Button Controls
It is recommended the unit be powered-up for 10-15 minutes before making changes to any of the flow settings.
General Control Description
The FS10 control “functions” can be accessed through the two buttons by:
1. Entering “Function Selection”
2. Selecting the desired function to adjust
3. Adjusting the function control
4. Exiting to normal operation
1. To Enter “Function Selection” mode:
a. Press and hold both buttons down for 3 seconds
b. When “function selection” is entered, all the LEDs will flash “on”, then
c. The first function (LED # 1) will be illuminated
2. “Function Selection” mode:
Once the unit is in “function selection” mode, the buttons take on new controls:
• The “-“ and “+” buttons will step (increment down or up respectively) through the different functions. The current function number will
be indicated on the LED blinking at the slow rate.
• Holding either the “+” or “-“ for 3 seconds will “select” the current function to be adjusted.
3. When a function has been selected for adjustment:
After selecting the desired function by pushing and holding either the “-” or “+” button for 3 seconds the LEDs will flash at a faster rate. The
pattern of the LEDs will either reflect the current value of the parameter being adjusted, or the “ready to capture” pattern for parameters to be
captured (see specific function descriptions for details).
The buttons will either increment or decrement the function parameter, or capture a value for the corresponding parameter.
4. To exit out of the current function, push and hold both buttons down for 3 seconds. The LEDs indicate that you are once again in “function election” mode, and the current mode is incremented to the next function. To exit completely (into operational mode), press the two
buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds once again.

Normal set-up and operation using the button interface
Refer to Table 5, Button Controls to address the following functions in the field.
Bank Selection of Stored Parameters (Function 4)
Select function 4 to change bank selection of stored parameters. The FS10 has 7 storage banks. Banks 1-6 are factory set defaults of common
applications or specific factory calibrations. Bank 7 is available for user saved parameters. Refer to complete FS10 configuration number to
determine the factory supplied bank setting. Note, an error pattern will result when selecting through the banks if the bank contains no valid
calibration parameters.
Units that do not come factory calibrated use Universal Setting A from Bank 1 as the settings for operational Bank 0. These parameters cover
the entire range (delta R) of the device. Therefore, spans and trip-points can be set in the field using this bank regardless of process fluid.
Once a unit is set-up in the field, the changed parameters now in Bank 0 may be stored to bank 7 using Function 15 and later retrieved using
Function 4 if unwanted changes were made in the interim.
Important: If a bank change is made using the buttons, it is important to completely exit the button function to save this
setting. Then re-enter the button function mode to establish a new zero, span and trip point.

Flow Switch Operation
Units supplied without factory trip point setting should be scaled in situ before setting the trip point. Default Universal Setting A from Bank
1 is recommended for most low flow sampling gas or liquid service. Gas and liquid service applications where higher flow rate detection is
required may select Universal Setting B from Bank 3.
Scaling is performed in the following order:
Minimum Flow Setting (Function 6)
Select function 6 to capture the minimum flow rate. In liquids, optimum performance is achieved by setting the Minimum Flow to a full line at
no flow. If possible, with liquids, slightly pressurize the pipe and block the flow using valves to assure a full and static condition. Capturing the
no-flow value in Function 6 establishes the zero point.
Maximum Flow Setting (Function 7)
Run the process at maximum flow and use this function to capture the maximum flow in gas or liquid. Since liquids transfer heat very efficiently, depending on the sensor assembly and fluid, maximum signal level will likely be achieved at flow rates under 2 feet per second,
though the actual flow in the tube may be higher. Capturing the maximum flow effectively establishes the span in the installation.
Note:
Be sure to pause at least 30 seconds before capturing zero and span to assure unit has reached equilibrium.
Static/Dynamic Mode Option (Function 5)
This option provides dynamic ranging (span setting) of the unit for purposes of calibration. It is intended to aid the user in ranging the FS10 in
cases where the maximum flow is fluctuating and difficult to capture or requires action away from the FS10 installation.
Select button Function 5 to change between static and dynamic mode for setting the maximum span value
[CUST_FLOW_MAX]. The “static” default setting is used to capture the maximum flow in Function 7. If function 5 is changed to “dynamic”
setting, the FS10 will constantly update the maximum span value to reflect the maximum flow. The span setting increases (re-scales) to match
an increasing process flow and remains at the highest level achieved as long as the unit remains powered.
Important Note:
When Function 5 is changed to Dynamic Mode, the span immediately drops to the value of the trip-point setting
and climbs from that point with flow. Therefore, a trip point should be captured (Function 2) at a flow lower than
the anticipated max span flow before placing unit in Dynamic Mode. Once the user is satisfied the maximum flow
is captured in Dynamic Mode, the unit should be switched back to Static Mode. The established span will remain.
CAUTION: A loss of power while in Dynamic Mode results in resetting the CUST_FLOW_MAX to the original trip
point value. Dynamic mode is not recommended if the application may see spiking flows or wet conditions in gas
applications that could result in a temporary and false indication of what the maximum flow should be.
Trip Point Adjust (Function 1 or 2)
There are two ways to set the trip point using the buttons.
Function 1 uses the LEDs as indicators to set the trip point in 10% increments within the established span.
Function 2 may be used to set the precise trip point by “capturing” the exact process flow rate. In liquids, make certain the desired trip
point is within the set operating range. That is, when capturing at the trip-point, the LEDs should be showing no greater than 90% flow.
NOTE: The trip-point setting is saved in feet/sec, therefore, changing the span later may alter the relative position of the flashing LED
indicating the trip-point value.
Low flow alarm applications with relay energized above the trip point (default setting): the trip point LED will flash quickly when the flow is
below the trip point. The LED flashes at a slower rate when the flow is at or above the trip-point.
Additional Switch Settings
Failsafe Position (Function 3)
This function establishes the state of the relay during normal operation and alarm condition. It is common to set the failsafe so that the relay
is “energized” or activated under normal operating conditions. An alarm condition (trip point activated) results in the de-energized state. That
assures an alarm state if power is lost to the device as well.
If the relay is bypassed and the device is used with the solid-state binary output, the system should be set up so a no-power condition results
in an alarm state. The transistor should be “on” under normal operating conditions, resulting in an approximate 5 VDC signal to ground. Power
loss or alarm condition, results in 0 VDC to ground.
Hysteresis (Function 8 and 9)
In the case of the flow switch, hysteresis is defined as the difference in signal level between turning on the relay and turning it off. If the
hysteresis is set to zero, that point is the same and can result in chattering, rapidly turning the relay on and off, in slow moving processes. A
hysteresis level is applied to minimize the possibility of chattering around the trip point. It is set as a percent of the established span.
Fluid Components International LLC
17
FS10 Series
The hysteresis may be applied above the trip point or below the trip point. As an example, if set above the trip-point in an application requiring low flow detection, the relay will change state as the signal falls below the trip point, but will not reset until it reaches the trip-point
value plus the added hysteresis value. The default setting is hysteresis above the trip-point and set at 2% of the span value. If changes are
required to the default, see how the hysteresis is applied in Function 8 and set the value in Function 9. Any value hysteresis may be applied
through the RS232 PC (recommended) or command line interface. The button functions are limited to settings between 0% and 10% in 1%
increments.
Time Delay (Function 10 or 11)
A time delay may be applied to the trip-point in one of two ways. The time delay may be applied to activate (Function 10) the relay after the
trip-point has been reached, or may be applied to de-activate (Function 11) the relay after the trip-point has been reached. The time starts
as the trip-point is reached and counts down as long as the trip-point value is retained. The relay then changes state. If the trip-point was
reached, but not maintained during this period, the time delay resets and the relay does not change state. The default value is zero seconds
and may be increased in 1-second increments up to 10 seconds with the buttons (time delays considerably higher are achievable through the
RS232 interface >65,000 sec. with PC interface).
Function 10 operation (relay change of state is delayed this amount [sec.] after signal reaches trip-point) is normally used in applications
where false trips may occur due to turbulent or cyclic flow action or in wet dry applications where splashing during vessel filling, for example,
may cause premature actuation. Proper setting of the time delay in this mode can be very effective in preventing problematic nuisance trips.
Function 11 operation (relay change of state is delayed this amount [sec] after signal leaves trip-point) may also be used in cyclic flow conditions. Another possible use may be to fill a vessel after a low level is reached. For example, the level reaches the low level trip-point; the
relay immediately changes state and is set to actuate a solenoid valve that begins the filling action. A time delay may be set that corresponds
to the time needed to fill the vessel.
Important:
The time delay function is dependent on the Failsafe Position (Function 3). Therefore, select the proper mode of
delay based on relay being activated in normal operation and de-activated in the alarm condition. These selections
are likely to be different when alarm settings are for low flow (or dry) verses high flow (or wet) applications.
Alarm Simulation (Function 12)
This function is used to force the output to the highest or lowest value, resulting in a change of relay state as well. Alarm simulation may be
useful in testing the system in which the FS10 is installed.
Keypad Lockout (Function 13)
This function changes the time required to depress the two buttons to enter into the set-up mode from the default 3 seconds to 10 seconds
(and back). Total button lockout may be achieved through the digital interface program via the RS232 connection.
Filter Setting (Function 14)
A filter is applied to the raw input signal (delta R). It is used to smooth the output against fluctuating or turbulent flow conditions. The range
of the filter setting is 3-100. The default setting is 18 and reduces the time response by < 2 seconds. A setting of 100 will provide the maximum dampening of the signal and decreases the response time approximately 10 seconds. Settings from 3 to 100 may be applied using the
RS232 PC interface or command line interface. The buttons permit changes of values 3, 18, 30, 50 and 100 only.
Save to Bank (Function 15)
Set-up configurations may be saved to bank 7. After the FS10 is field configured, storing the parameter settings to bank 7 is performed in this
function.

PC Interface and Command Line Interface Configurations
FS10 Communication Options
In addition to the button interface, the FS10 may be addressed directly through the RS232 interface. This type of communication offers
convenient access to all user available parameters. There are two methods for interfacing through the RS232 connections:
1. A Windows PC Interface program is available that allows reading and writing to all user available functions and parameters.
2. A Command Line Interface through a HyperTerminal (MS) type program will access all functions and parameters (see RS232 Interface
Reference Table on the following pages).
In both cases the parameters are accessed directly through the RS232 terminals. Depending on the hardware configuration selected, the
RS232 signals are available through any of the following:
1. M12 pins - for units supplied with M12 power and output (I/O) connector
2. 8-wire cable units - for units supplied with cable pigtail, terminate to 3 wires
3. 2.5mm phone jack connector - available on remote mount units only
IMPORTANT NOTE: RS232 RxD, RS232 TxD and SIGNAL RETURN (3-connections) must be used to for effective
communication.
An RS232 to 9 pin serial (DB9) to USB interface cable is available from FCI to connect directly to a PC or PLC. An RS232 interface from either
of the 3 configurations above is available from the table on the following page. NOTE: The USB interface cable is supplied with a device
driver disk. Depending on the computer operating system, installation may be necessary for communication. Entry of the USB port # will be
requested. It is normally the highest value listed.
Password Protection
Factory settings are protected with a level 1 factory password. End user settings are protected with a level 2 password. The following
password will provide access and allow changes to any level 2 parameters: 19113
Refer to Table 7 for parameter command reference. Access to all level 2 (user configurable) parameters are available through the FC10 PC
interface software.
Flow Rate Indication on PC Interface
Units will read values in percent, trend with flow and be repeatable. The PC interface provides a convenient means of capturing zero, span
and trip-point settings in lieu of using the buttons.
Power Supply Interface Kit
FCI offers an interface kit that makes it easy to connect to a notebook computer in the field. Kit PN number 022083-02 is described on page
32 of this manual. It may also be used to simply power up the unit using an AC connection. Relay function and 4-20 mA output may be
monitored using this interface.

FS10 Series
SAFETY INSTRUMENTED SYSTEMS REQUIREMENTS (SIS)
The safety-critical output of the FS10 is provided through the 4-20 mA signal representing flow and the SPDT relay or solid state output.
Compliance through FMEDA (Failure Modes, Effects and Diagnostic Analysis)
SIL (Safety Integrity Level):
2 – as a single device
HFT (Hardware Fault Tolerance): 0
Subsystem Type:
B
FS10 Safety Identification
Firmware version 4.02 or greater
To identify firmware version, use Fluid Components Intl PC Interface program
Installation in SIS applications
Installations are to be performed by qualified personnel. No special installation is required in addition to the standard installation practices
outlined in this document. Environmental and operational limits are available on page 3, Technical Specifications.
The supplied power should be designed so the terminal voltage does not drop below 21.5 VDC. With the relay output option, current must be
limited to 60% of the relay rating (600 mA) and provide transient voltage protection (refer to page 9 for inductive loads).
Use the PC Interface tool to communicate with and verify configuration of the FS10. Use keypad lockout function (ref. page 18) to prevent
accidental or deliberate change of configuration data during normal operation. NOTE: Firmware version 4.08 or greater faults if either button
inadvertantly locks in to closed (active) position for greater than 30 seconds.
NOTE:
Transmitter output is not safety-rated during configuration changes. Alternative means should be used to ensure process
safety during transmitter configuration and maintenance activities.
Alarm Levels
Namur:
<3.6mA = Fault or >21mA = Fault
Proof Test
The suggested proof test described below will detect 95% of possible DU failures in the FS10 Flow Switch. The suggested proof test in
combination with automatic diagnostics will detect 99% of possible DU failures in the FS10 Flow Swtich.
The suggested proof test consists of setting the output to the min and max, and a calibration check.
Suggested Proof Test
Step
Action
1
Bypass the safety function and take appropriate action to avoid a false trip.
2
Send a command through PC interface or function buttons to the FS10A to de-energize the relay or transistor or go to the high
alarm current output. Verify that the relay or transistor changes state or that the analog current reaches that value.
3
If the current output is used as the safety critical output, send a command through PC interface or function buttons to the
FS10A to go to the low alarm current output and verify that the analog current reaches that value.
4
Perform a two-point calibration of the transmitter over the full working range.
5
Remove the bypass and otherwise restore normal operation.

FS10 Series
Product Repair
The FS10 is repairable by major component replacement. All product repair and part replacement should be performed by qualified personnel.
FS10 SIS Reference
The FS10 must be operated in accordance to the functional and performance specifications provided on page 3: Technical Specifications.
Failure Rate Data
The FMEDA report includes failure rates and common cause Beta factor estimates.
The report is available at www.fluidcomponents.com/safety

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Maintenance
Typically required for the sensing element. If the process media sticks to the process pipes (or tank) the sensing element should be cleaned in
the same manner and frequency as the process pipe (or tank). Occasionally check for moisture in the control circuit housing and wiring connections. Check for proper functionality and response time.
Troubleshooting
If the instrument is not operating, go through the installation and adjustment procedures and verify proper installation. If the instrument
fails after some time in service and it has been checked, or if it fails to operate at start up and the installation has been verified, contact your
authorized FCI service representative.
If FCI representative cannot be reached, contact FCI Technical Service. If the instrument is to be returned, obtain a Return Authorization. The
form contains a declaration of decontamination cleaning information that the instrument must comply with before it is shipped to FCI. The
telephone number in the US is 1-800-854-1993 or 1-760-744-6950 or email: techsupport@fluidcomponents.com

*** Decontamination Statement *** This Section Must Be Completed ***
Exposure to hazardous materials is regulated by Federal, State, County and City laws and regulations. These laws provide FCI’s
employees with the “Right to Know” the hazardous or toxic materials or substances in which they may come in contact while handling returned products. Consequently, FCI’s employees must have access to data regarding the hazardous or toxic materials or
substances the equipment has been exposed to while in a customer’s possession. Prior to returning the instrument for evaluation/
repair, FCI requires thorough compliance with these instructions. The signer of the Certificate must be either a knowledgeable Engineer, Safety Manager, Industrial Hygenist or of similar knowledge or training and responsible for the safe handling of the material to
which the unit has been exposed. Returns without a legitimate Certification of Decontamination, and/or MSDS when required, are
unacceptable and shall be returned at the customer’s expense and risk. Properly executed Certifications of Decontamination must
be provided before a repair authorization (RA) number will be issued.
Certification Of Decontamination
I certify that the returned item(s) has(have) been thoroughly and completely cleaned. If the returned item(s) has(have) been exposed to hazardous or toxic materials or substances, even though it (they) has (have) been thoroughly cleaned and decontaminated,
the undersigned attests that the attached Material Data Safety Sheet(s) (MSDS) covers said materials or substances completely.
Furthermore, I understand that this Certificate, and providing the MSDS, shall not waive our responsibility to provide a neutralized,
decontaminated, and clean product for evaluation/repair at FCI. Cleanliness of a returned item or acceptability of the MSDS shall
be at the sole discretion of FCI. Any item returned which does not comply with this certification shall be returned to your location
Freight Collect and at your risk.
This certification must be signed by knowledgeable personnel responsible for maintaining or managing the safety program at
your facility.

meet the written specifications accepted by the Seller, they will be replaced or repaired by Seller at no charge to Buyer
provided return or notice of rejection of such material is made within a reasonable period but in no event longer than
one (1) year from date of shipment to Buyer, and provided further, that an examination by Seller discloses to Seller’s
reasonable satisfaction that the defect is covered by this warranty and that the Buyer has not returned the equipment

not tampered, modified, redesigned, misapplied, abused, or misused the goods as to cause the goods to fail. In addition, this warranty shall not cover damage caused by Buyer’s exposure of the goods to corrosive or abrasive environments. Moreover, Seller shall in no event be responsible for (1) the cost or repair of any work done by Buyer on material
