Cleaning the 500 Series Flow Sensor 

 
 

1.  Turn OFF the liquid flow in your flow circuit 

and remove the 500 Series sensor from 
your system. Place the sensor on a clean 
surface. 

 

 
 
Remove the faceplate from the sensor body 
using a face-spanner wrench. 

 

 

 
 
3.  Remove the faceplate from the flow meter. 

 

 
 
4.  Remove the rotor and stainless steel shaft 
     from the flow cavity. 
 
    Remove the O-ring from the faceplate 

 

5.  Using a soft cloth dampened with water, alcohol or a light detergent solution, clean debris and dirt 
     from the rotor, the stainless steel shaft, the inside surfaces of faceplate and the surfaces of the flow 
     cavity 
6.  Inspect the bearing surface of the rotor.  If the bearing surface is worn or not round, replace the rotor. 
     Inspect the stainless steel shaft.  If the shaft shows signs of scoring or other wear, replace the shaft.
