rior to each day's operation, check the
restraining strap to make sure it is securely
attached to the sensor. Some installations
require two restraining straps mounted at right
angles to each other. This keeps the sensor from
emitting false signals to the control console.
Flow Control Valve
I
nspect the flow control valve occaisionally to
ensure there are no leaks around the attachment
fittings. Thoroughly flush the flow control
valve with clean water at the end of the day.
Make sure that water or sediment is not trapped
in the flow sensor, particularly in cold weather,
as damage to the mechanism may occur.
Wiring Harness
M
ost failures of electronic systems, like the
MID-TECH control system, are the result
of broken wires or poor connections.
Taking time to periodically inspect and clean the
wiring harness will help prevent these types of
failures.
Inspect the external cabling for abrasion, and
stretched or pinched wires. Reroute any damaged
cabling and wrap it to protect it from further
damage. A broken wire can be temporarily repaired
by stripping the wire back on each side of the break,
twisting it together, and soldering the connection'
(Do not use acid core solder). Insulate the bare
connectionwith heat shrink material or electrical
tape.
Periodially inspect and clean the connectors at the
ends of the cables. Use a non-lubricating spray
solvent (such as a tuner cleaner) to clean the
connections. If the contact is so dirty it must be
wiped clean, use a non abrasive swab (like a Q-
