Maintenance
Test equipment should be grounded to prevent a possible spark. Test area should have no ignition source. Operators should
wear personal protection and prevent any product exposure and environmental issues.
1).
Keeping accurate maintenance and calibration records can be an excellent tool in determining the
frequency of inspection or maintenance for a system. As the meter wears, the calibration will be af-
fected and require adjustment. A personality profile can be created for each meter to help guide in a
maintenance schedule.
2).
Great care should be utilized in the maintenance of the metering system. Personal safety protection,
environmental hazards, and government regulations need to be the foremost priority. Only fully
trained personnel should be involved in maintenance. Failure to use original TCS replacement parts
will void any Weights & Measures approvals and risk damage to the meter system.
3).
ALWAYS RELIEVE INTERNAL SYSTEM PRESSURE TO ZERO BEFORE DISASSEMBLY
OR INSPECTION.
4).
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH FROM FIRE OR EXPLOSION COULD RESULT FROM MAIN-
TENANCE OF AN IMPROPERLY DEPRESSURIZED AND EVACUATED SYSTEM.
5).
Total Control Systems flow meters and accessories are often used with petroleum, solvents, chemi-
cals, and other liquids that may be explosive, extremely flammable, very toxic, oxidizing, and corro-
sive. Severe injury or fatalities may arise if appropriate safety precautions are not followed.
6).
Before replacing or cleaning filter/strainer screen, the electrical system must be turned off. Product
needs to be drained from system. Collect all product and return to storage or dispose of properly.
Replace all drain plugs that were removed. Personal safety protection must be warn at this time.
Make sure there is adequate ventilation in the area. The metering system will not completely drain
so make sure you collect extra product when you remove the strainer cover. Clean the screen once a
week, or more often if there is a lot of sediment in the system. Make sure there is no ignition source
and the system is grounded. Replace all plugs that were removed for drainage.
7).
The metering system is heavy and awkward so take precaution to handle it properly.
8).
Do not use force to disassemble or use a screwdriver to pry open any part of the metering system.
Have the proper tools available before trying to repair the meter system. Be careful of the parts as
they can be sharp and heavy. Do not drop housing or rotors as they can cause injury and can destroy
the parts. Be careful when inspecting and turning the timing gears and rotors as they can pinch
fingers, turn slowly to verify smooth operation.
9).
When inspecting the spring loaded preset valves do not place anything inside the housing, as the
action of the valve will pinch this object when the valve closes.
