My meter is pumping slow , GPM is reading about 155 and the master meter on the test stand is reading about little over 400 GPM

The TCS 3000 meter may be pumping slowly with a GPM reading of 155 compared to the master meter reading of over 400 GPM due to a possible issue with the pulser or flow measurement system. The document mentions that if the pulser shaft is not turning with product flow or if the TCS 3000 display does not increment when spinning the pulser shaft manually, there may be a mechanical or pulser failure. Additionally, excessive reversals or missing pulse counts could lead to incorrect flow readings. Checking the pulser output and measuring DC voltages on the terminal block may help diagnose the issue.
