The Following Examples are Arad’s Recommendations For Achieving Top Performance When installing the Octave downstream of any hydraulic component (valve, pump) the recommended • installation requirements are no less than the drawings recommendations. For upstream & downstream straight pipes please use as much as installation site will allow (the longer the better) When installing Pressure Breaker after the meter - the pipe length should be at least 2 pipe diameter (the •...

13.0 Polymeric Octave Installation - General Instructions Please follow the general instructions for water meters (Check Valve, upstream & down stream and system flushing on new installations). Existing and new installations: It is recommended that the meter will NOT be installed in the middle of the system, so the meter will not suffer from the load of all the installed fixtures.

5. If it is not possible to use plastic connections on one side of the meter, please consider the use of our flexible couplings. These couplings were especially developed for the polymeric Octave meters. You will need to use this coupling only on one side of the meter - please install the coupling on the outlet, if possible - as described in the below pictures.

The SSR module is powered by internal battery. External power supply in a range of 5-35Vdc could be used for certain Pulse parameters and Flow Rate combination. Pulse resolution or Pulse width are directly affect the internal battery lifetime. The following setup examples showing the calculated internal battery lifetime for 10 and 5 years: No.

14.4. Analog output 4-20mA • The current output is a passive 4-20mA. Power needs to be supplied by the customer. • 4mA is always “0” (zero) flow and the 20mA is programmable according to the customer requirements. (If the customer did not specify, the 20mA will be the maximum flow rate). 14.4.1.
