INTRODUCTION A semi positive displacement rotary piston flow transducer type KPO is situated in the liquid line, which detects the transfer of very small volumes of liquid. A magnetically operated switch converts the piston movement irato impulses which are transferred along Mn screened wire to remote electronic counting/control devices.

REED switch can now be replaced on the meter in the recesses provided. Excessive tightening of the reed switch securing screws should be guarded against at all times. Meters should not be fitted systems which are subjected to any excessive hydraulic shock, or damage to the meter internals may result.

Invert the meter and repeat. Remove barrier plate from the slot in the body. Having completely dismantled meter al/ components may be thoroughly washed in warm soapy water. On no account should abrasive materials be used to clean the meter parts as meter accuracy relies upon the maintenance of controlled clearances.
OPERATION Commissioning immediately after installation or after long periods of shut down the meter must be slowly purged of air. This is most effectively achieved by allowing the liquid to be metered !o flow through the meter at a slowly increasing rate until the maximum through put is achieved The inter is now ready to be put fin to service and will accurately in measure all liquid passing through it, provided it...

Due to the hygienic design and self-flushing action, the mete, lends itself to in-line steam sterilization. As a result the CRAIND IMPIANTI KPO meter is used in a wide renge of applications in the brewing, distilling, food ,drinks and pharmaceutical industries.
CYCLE OF OPERATION FIG.1 The piston is over the inlet port, the inflowing liquid has entered the incide wall of the piston and is causing it to start its semi-rotary movement, sliding down the division piece, displacing the neutral liquid which becomes the out owing liquid as it is expelled through the outlet port.

Check the operation of the reed switch by: Remove the reed switch assembly from the meter and connect a battery ohm meter. Pass a normal magnet across of the reed switch and if the resistance changes from at least I mega ohm to less than I ohm due to the movement of the magnet, the reed switch is operative.
