Receipt & Inspection - TCS 700-30 Installation, Operation & Maintenence Manual

Receipt & Inspection
Upon receipt of meter shipment, be sure to inspect the packaging and the flow meter assembly for any damage
before signing the receipt of the shipment. Notify the delivery company about possible damage and refuse re-
ceipt of the shipment.
Meters are individually boxed and are protected with packing material. Each package
is identified with the flow meter assembly part number, description, direction of flow
and serial number. Verify the meter model is the correct model, size, and configuration
as ordered. Contact your distributor if there is any discrepancy or question.
Meter assemblies should be handled with appropriate methods for the awkwardness of
size and weight involved. Appropriate clothing and shoes need to be utilized. Trans-
port the meter package to the installation site with appropriate transportation methods,
careful not to damage the flow meter.
Be careful of any loose or protruding staples from the packaging, as they can be very
sharp and may potentially cause injury.
If foam has been used to protect meter, carefully remove top foam layer before attempting to remove meter as-
sembly from box. Foam packaging maybe formed around the meter assembly making it difficult to remove. If
meter is bolted upon a wood pallet remove bolts while being careful not to let the meter tip over when the sup-
port has been removed. Do not lift the meter assembly by flex hoses, thermowells, wires, pulsers, or put objects
through meter. Removing meter assembly from packaging without adhering these warnings may cause serious
injury.
The wooden pallets and bases meet the ISPM 15; Guidelines for Regulating Wood Packaging Material in Inter-
national Trade through the Timber Products Inspection Company (TP #2134).
Every effort has been made to remove the calibration fluid before shipment. All TCS flow meters are plugged
and enclosed in a plastic bag. A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) can be reviewed on PAGE 50. Appropri-
ate precautions should be taken regarding any personal, environmental and material compatibility with the end
use system.
