  • Page 4: Part 1 - Introduction

    Part 1 - Introduction General The MetriNet is an integrated water quality system designed for potable water distribution monitoring. The primary function is to log water quality measurements. Data may be manually collected using an SD card built into each controller. Interface options are also available to retrieve data from the unit via Modbus RTU/RS-485, Modbus TCP or Ethernet IP.

  • Page 5: System Components

    MetriNet Water Quality System Part 2 - Introduction M-Nodes are installed in modular flow chambers, secured with twist-lock pins on the front of the node. Each node requires one chamber and chambers clamp together with locking rings on each end. Push-to-connect fittings are installed on each end but end fittings contain 1/8” NPT female threads to accommodate other fittings.

  • Page 15: Sample Connection

    MetriNet Part 3 – Installation Water Quality System Sample Connection Flow systems are designed to use ¼” OD polyurethane or other semi-rigid tubing. Sample is normally coming from pressurized water pipe and flow systems can handle sample pressures as high as 100 PSIG. However, we recommend that inlet pressure be reduced to about 30 PSI if source water pressure is above 60 PSI.

    MetriNet Part 3 – Installation Water Quality System Intermittent Sampling, Cycle Mode Water samples for MetriNet systems often run continuously, controlled at 200 ml/min. by a flow control device in the outlet assembly. However, the MetriNet controller can turn on flow intermittently to greatly reduce water consumption, operating in “Cycle Mode”...

  • Page 17: Electrical Connections

    MetriNet Part 3 – Installation Water Quality System If a system is using solenoid flow control, be sure that the valve delay is long enough so that fresh sample reaches sensors for at least 30 seconds. For estimating the required time, you must take into account the length of your sample line.

  • Page 18: Digital Input

    MetriNet Part 3 – Installation Water Quality System 3.81 Digital Input Under some conditions, a user may wish to initiate a measurement cycle using an externally generated contact closure. As an example, an alarm from another device might be used to tell the MetriNet controller to take a reading.

  • Page 19: Power In 115Vac Unit

    MetriNet Part 3 – Installation Water Quality System NOTE – When power is first applied to the instrument, the modem powers up and configures itself, so current consumption is high. If making active current measurements, you must wait about 2 minutes after power is first applied to see the true steady state current.

    MetriNet Part 3 – Installation Water Quality System C-Solenoid Power - At 12VDC, the flow solenoids is pulse driven for only an instant, 2A @ 200 ms) to change state. The solenoid is used to limit water loss. D-Modem Power – At 12VDC, the modem consumes 100 mA max for about 2 minutes max at each call.

  • Page 21: Installation Site Factors

    MetriNet Part 3 – Installation Water Quality System For example, one of the variations of the MetriNet is available directly with 8 common alkaline D- cell batteries, each with 19 Ahr of available power. This represents a power source of about 12VDC @ 19 Ahr total.

  • Page 22: M-Node Preparation

    MetriNet Part 3 – Installation Water Quality System M-Node Preparation Sensor nodes are packed individually and some require preparation prior to use. Some require removal of a wetting cap and some simply require installation into the flow chamber. The table below provides guidance.

  • Page 23: Part 4 - Operation

    Part 4 – Operation General Check to see that sample is running through the flow assembly. Sample flow is controlled at 200 ml./min. If the system was not purchased with the flow control element, adjust the flow through the system with a valve placed on the outlet side of the flow assembly. Recheck all wiring and verify that the power supply is in the range of 12-24 VDC for external DC systems, and 12VDC for battery systems.

  • Page 24: M-Node Assignment

    MetriNet Part 4 – Operation Water Quality System M-Node Assignment Each measurement node must have a unique sensor number. By default, all sensors are shipped at address #1. If there is more than one sensor in your system, a new sensor number must be assigned to each additional sensor, 1-8.

    MetriNet Part 4 – Operation Water Quality System Valve Delay If the optional solenoid is used to turn flow on and off, the valve delay value defines the delay time, starting from when the solenoid is opened, before sensor nodes are powered up to make measurements. Delay time depends on length of sample lines.
