Safety Definitions and Information
Do not attempt to install or use your AW Gear Meters product until you have read
the safety instructions in this section. Save this manual and keep it in an easily
accessible place.
Unpacking
Separate the flow meter from packaging materials and check for any visual signs of
damage. If you determine there has been damage caused by shipping, file a claim
with the shipping company. If the flow meter appears to have been improperly
assembled or does not operate properly, return the product for replacement or
repair (see Limited Warranty information at the end of this manual).
Quick Start
To set up, install and operate your flow meter quickly, follow these step-by-step
instructions. Detailed installation, operational, and maintenance instructions begin
on page 5 in this manual. More information is also available in the Maintenance
Guide appropriate for your flow meter.
Install Pickup Sensor
Before attaching the sensor to the flow meter, check for any potential clearance
issues. It may be easier to install the sensor after you have installed the flow
meter in the line.
CAUTION: Whether the sensor requires tool or hand installation, tighten with
hand-tighten torque only.
NOTICE: Some flow meters are shipped with the sensor already installed.
Flush Piping
If feasible, flush piping to remove dirt and debris before installing flow meter.
Filtration
Filtration is recommended to prevent contaminants from entering the flow meter.
See flow meter Data Sheet for specific filter, including mesh weight and size.
Location
It's best to install the flow meter upstream from control valves and fluid regulators,
if possible. See Figure 1.
