INSTALLATION AND INSTALLATION AND OPERATION OPERATION Before Installing Before Installing Plan the installation in such a way as to allow a strainer to be coupled directly to the inlet of the flowmeter. Where this is not possible, any piping between these units should be thoroughly cleaned out.
To Operate The Flowmeter To Operate The Flowmeter 1. Reset register to zero by turning operating knob to the rear stop. On Printer models, first insert ticket. 2. On Preset models, set the Preset wheels to the desired quantity. 3. Start pump — open Auto Stop valve (if used). 4.
PRINTER REGISTER MODELS PRINTER REGISTER MODELS To Insert and Remove Tickets To Insert and Remove Tickets To insert a ticket be sure that the operating knob is turned forward to a stop. Then depress the dust bar and insert the ticket in the ticket slot under it, either “face down bottom end first” or “face up top end first,”...

5. Depress the emergency stop button and allow the valve to close. At this point the leakage between the valve and the register must be free. If it is not, the above adjustments must be rechecked. 6. Set the register to deliver the minimum quantity and open the valve to run product through the flowmeter.

10. It is sometimes necessary to change the position of set screw (B) if the clevis has been readjusted. If the register mechanism will not latch up, unscrew the set screw to allow the valve to open further. If the connection rod (G) is under compression, when the valve is held all the way open, turn the set screw down to relieve the pressure on the register.
To Adjust Rate of Closing Of Valve To Adjust Rate of Closing of Valve Variations in the viscosity of the liquids being measured will cause changes in the rate of closing of the valve from its full open position to its intermediate position. (Valve should reach its intermedi- ate position with approximately 4 gallons remaining on Preset setting wheels.) Setting of orifice plate is indicated on tag attached to valve.
Erratic Registration Erratic Registration Erratic registration is an indication of trouble in the system caused by air or dirt in the measuring chamber. Do not try to correct this by recalibration of the flowmeter, but first check over the piping for air entry, clean the strainer, and then, if the trouble has not been found, clean the flowmeter as directed.
To Clean Register Mask To Clean Register Masks Register masks being made of plastic require special treatment. Manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning are quoted below: If masks become soiled with grease and oil, solvents for these substances, such as kerosene or naptha, may be used to remove dirt.
MEASURING CHAMBER MAINTENANCE MEASURING CHAMBER MAINTENANCE To Remove and Disassemble Flowmeter Measuring Chamber To Remove and This operation is not difficult and may be performed by any competent mechanic. No special Disassemble Flowmeter tools are required. No trouble need be expected, if these few simple, but important, directions are Measuring Chamber followed.
2. Place the control roller on its pin and see that it will rotate freely. 3. Replace the piston and oscillate it carefully by hand; it should move easily without binding. If it sticks, do not force it, but remove and locate the cause. Do not file down the roller as this will impair the accuracy of the flowmeter.
TROUBLESHOOTING TROUBLESHOOTING Register Not Working When Liquid is Flowing a) Bypass around flowmeter not shut off. b) Frozen condensation inside register. c) Register in need of repair. d) Sheared key on “Change Gear” — caused by ice in register. Leakage at the Stuffing Box Loose stuffing box nut or worn spindle.
