Page 3: Installation
FIGURE 1 TRUCK INSTALLATION – PETROLEUM CAUTION CONTAINERS EMPLOYED TO COLLECT VAPOR OR LIQUID DISCHARGED FROM THE METER VAPOR RELEASE SHOULD BE OF SUFFICIENT SIZE TO PREVENT ANY LIQUID ESCAPE DURING NORMAL OPERATION, AND SHOULD HAVE A SUITABLE FLAME ARRESTOR VENT. ALL VENT LINES AND FITTINGS SHOULD BE OF METAL CONSTRUC- TION, AND ALL VALVES SHOULD BE DESIGNED SO THAT NORMAL VIBRATION DOES NOT CAUSE ACCIDENTAL OPENING. - Page 4 Temperature of the liquid should not exceed 140°F. All flowmeters are tested and calibrated by Actaris Neptune and adjustment should not be necessary. If registration appears to be in error, the flowmeter registration should be checked using a calibrated volumetric prover.

If the mask becomes soiled with grease and oil, solvents for these substances, such as kero- sene or naptha, may be used to remove dirt. However, sprays that are commonly employed in clean- ing glass windshields must not be used as cleaners, since they contain solvents. A water solution of nonabrasive soap is recommended for washing grease, oil, or dirt from the mask. -

To Adjust Linkage Valve To Adjust Linkage Valve Note: Before any adjustment of the Auto-Stop Valve is made, be sure that the Auto-Stop setting wheels indicate a quantity other than zero to ensure that the trip mechanism of the register is in proper position. - Page 10 1. Remove clevis pin (E) from valve linkage. 2. Unscrew the outside register link lock nut (P) and remove connecting rod (G) and clevis (F) as a unit. 3. Remove register link (N), rotate 1/2 turn and reassemble onto register as described in ap- propriate valve adjustment instructions.
- Page 11 8. Set the register to deliver the minimum quantity and open the valve to run product through the flowmeter. 9. After the initial trip occurs the valve should close to the intermediate flow position. This rate should be approximately 15 to 20 gpm. If the valve closes too far, or all the way, unscrew clevis (F) on rod (G) to hold valve open further.

Page 12: Measuring Chamber Maintenance
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. - Page 13 1. Prepare a clean surface on which to place the parts as they are removed. The parts are machined to close tolerances and should be handled with care. Have a replacement gasket ready before opening the flowmeter. 2. Loosen the two clamp screws on the lower front of the register. Lift the register off. On Preset Models the valve linkage must first be disconnected.

1. Assemble diaphragm and seal pin in chamber if replacement was necessary. 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. - Page 15 2. The flat face against which the “O” ring seats must be clean and free of nicks or dents which will allow the pressure to leak between the gasket and the metal. To Clean The Strainer To Clean The Strainer Remove the strainer cover and pull out the screen.

Page 16: General Maintenance
GENERAL MAINTENANCE VALVE GENERAL In the maintenance of the accuracy of Actaris Neptune Flowmeters, MAINTENANCE little is necessary other than to see that the proper conditions of operation are preserved. These conditions, once the flowmeter has been properly installed, consist merely in guarding against for- eign matter, such as air, sediment and water, entering the measuring chamber. -
