Page 7: Section 2 - Pre-Installation
Process Fluid The .M314 MainLine Electronic Propeller Meter is designed to operate with relatively clean process water. The percentage of solids should not exceed 0.5%. While the propeller shape is designed to shed debris Pre- and the propeller material is durable and somewhat pliable, large solid objects in the flowing stream could damage or become entangled in the propeller, causing inaccuracies or malfunction. -

c. Cut or burn a full opening in the pipe so there will be no projec- tions of the pipe beyond the straight inside edge of the hole. Smooth the pipe around the opening to make a good Installation surface for the saddle. cont'd. -
Page 10: Section 4 - Flow Rates & Dimensions
Maximum flow ranges can be safely exceeded by 50% when used intermittently (10-15% of the time). Your Sparling meter utilizes specially designed propellers and bearings matched to your flow range to insure long life. Flow Rates & Dimensions TABLE 2 - .LOW & DIMENSIONS .low Range... -
Page 11: Section 5 - Preventative Maintenance
Preventative Maintenance Low pressure line meters with ball bearings (low flow range) should be greased every 90 days of actual operation time with Lubriplate #105. Meters with fluted rubber bearings (standard flow range) and don't need to be lubricated as water provides their lubrication. Meter Maintenance Remove the meter from the line once each year and inspect the propeller shaft bearings, propeller,... -

5.2 Disassembly & Repair 5.2.1 Grip the propeller and remove the propeller nut. Slip the propeller off by tapping it lightly Meter and remove the propeller shaft key (a). Maintenance 5.2.2 Remove the propeller shaft plug assembly and drive the propeller shaft out the rear of the gear box by tapping at the end of the propeller shaft with a rubber mallet or a piece of wood to pro- tect the shaft (b). -
Page 13: Section 6 - Preventative Maintenance Of Totalizer
Preventative Maintenance — Inspection of Totalizer The ideal time to inspect the totalizer is when you are changing the battery. Totalizer Open meter cover and check for condensation on inside of glass. Spin propeller and make Maintenance sure that the register advances properly. Remove screws holding the totalizer on the meterhead. Examine the battery contacts for signs of moisture intrusion. -

Page 16: Section 8 - Programming Of Electronic Totalizer
Programming 8.1 Preliminary Calculations of Electronic Totalizer Before programming your meter you will need to determine: Model 703 1) The Totalizer Scaling .actor and 2) The Rate Scaling .actor Programmer Optional These factors are not the same, but are both calculated using the meter's K (calibration) factor. The meter K is located on the flowmeter calibration sheet originally shipped with your meter. -
