OMEGA for advice. To prevent damage from dirt or foreign matter, OMEGA recommends a Y or bas- ket type 60 mesh strainer be installed as close as possible to the inlet side of the meter.
INSTALLATION 1. OMEGA recommends that when set- ting up pipework for meter installations, a bypass line be included in the de- sign. This provides the facility for a meter to be removed for maintenance without interrupting production. (See Figure 1)
OPERATION When fluid passes through the meter, the rotors turn. The gear located on top of one of the rotors drives the mechanical regis- ters gear train which provides an accurate readout. SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS Disassembly: Ensure that the fluid supply to the meter is disconnected, and the line pressure is re- leased before disassembly.

Check rotor operation by turning either of the rotors. If the rotors are not in mesh correctly or do not move freely, remove one of the rotors and replace it correctly at 90 degrees to the other rotor. Recheck the operation of the rotors. 4.
TROUBLESHOOTING Symptom Probable Cause FLUID WILL NOT 1. Foreign matter blocking FLOW THROUGH rotors THE METER 2. Line strainer blocked 3. Damaged rotors 4. Meter connections over- tightened 5. Fluid is too viscous REDUCED FLOW 1. Strainer is partially THROUGH THE blocked METER 2.
