Index / contents General General 1.0 General Page 1.1 Overview Overview The Oval gear meter is a precise positive displacement flowmeter incorporating a pair of oval geared rotors. These Operating principal meters are capable of measuring the flow of a broad range of clean liquids. Model number information Specifications Stainless Steel flowmeters are suited to most water based products and chemicals and aluminum meters are...
Installation 5 Installation 2.0 Installation 2.1.2 Flow Conditioning and Locations 2.1 Mechanical Installation Prior to installing the meter check : Strainer : It is recommended to INSTALL a 100mesh (150 micron) strainer immediately upstream of (prior to) the meter. Strainers are available from the factory. # The fluid is compatible with the meter materials of construction using appropriate information such as fluid compatibility charts and site experience.
Installation 7 Installation 2.2.2 Hazardous area wiring Intrinsically safe wiring including using the reed switch pulse output as simple 2.3.3 Quadrature (QUAD) Pulse Output The diagrams below apply when the meter is fitted with the apparatus, wiring to an Intrinsically Safe Instrument or wiring to the Exd explosionproof option( Exd IIB T4/T6 ) Quadrature pulse output option (two Hall Effect sensors arranged to give separate outputs out of phase with wiring techniques must be undertaken in accordance with the rules, regulations and requirements applying to the one another).
Installation 9 Commissioning & Maintenance Meters fitted with integral Instruments If your flowmeter is fitted with an integral instrument such as a Commissioning Once the meter has been mechanically and electrically installed in accordance with this totaliser, rate totaliser or batch controller then the pulse output from the meter has been factory wired to the flow and any other relevant instrument manual(s) the meter is ready for commissioning.
The pulse output board (6) can now be accessed and removed if necessary (screws 7). If required to gain access to the oval geared rotors undo the 8 body screws (5), carefully pry the meter body apart Item Description OM025 OM040 OM050 avoiding misplacing or damaging the O-ring (3) and rotors (2).
Maintenance Fault finding Inspection (refer Exploded View) Inspect O-rings for damage, chemical attack, deformity or any form of deterioration. Fault Finding Pulse meters have two distinct sections: the mechanical wetted section housing the rotors and the electrical section housing the pulse output board. Remove, inspect and clean the rotors, also check that the magnets have not been chemically attacked.
