INSTALLATION Meter Components and Features Below is a QS100-10 meter with labeled components. Familiarize yourself with the meter before installation. Figure 2 Preferred Installation Layout Provide a straight pipe run of at least 10 times the pipe's diameter (Ø) upstream (inlet end) of the meter, and at least 5 times the pipe's diameter (Ø) downstream (outlet end) of the meter. - Page 9 INSTALLATION (CONTINUED) Connecting Components NOTE: Keep the meter bore clean and free of dirt and debris during installation. 1. Remove all I.D and O.D edge burrs on the pipe ends. (see Figure 4) 2. Clean and apply primer to the pipe ends, fittings and meter. (see Figure 5) Note: The joint cementing sequence in 5 and 6 below is for general reference.
- Page 10 INSTALLATION (CONTINUED) For Below Ground Installation Install a valve box around the meter. Valve box extensions may be needed depending on depth. (See Figure 7) Note: A minimum of 10 in. thick layer of gravel should be installed immediately below the meter and valve box.
- Page 11 INSTALLATION (CONTINUED) Reference Figures 8a thru 8e on previous page 8a. Strip insulation 3/4 in. (19 mm). 8b.

LEDs Functionality There are two LEDs on the QS100-10 meter. The GREEN LED is used to indicate basic power and functionality of the meter. The AMBER LED is used to indicate that there is a flow of water through the QS100-10 meter. -
Page 13: Troubleshooting
TROUBLESHOOTING 1. The LEDs are the primary indicators of meter performance. Refer to the Operations Section for LED indicating functionality. 2. Entrained air is air bubbles suspended in the water flow. Entrained air creates errors in accuracy of ultrasonic technology meters. Recommend a maximum of 10% entrained air in the water flow. - Page 14 NOTES: ___________________________________________ ___________________________________________ ___________________________________________ ___________________________________________ ___________________________________________ ___________________________________________ ___________________________________________ ___________________________________________ ___________________________________________ ___________________________________________ ___________________________________________ ___________________________________________ ___________________________________________ ___________________________________________ ___________________________________________ ___________________________________________ ___________________________________________ ___________________________________________ ___________________________________________ ___________________________________________ ___________________________________________ ___________________________________________ ___________________________________________ ___________________________________________ ___________________________________________ ___________________________________________...
