  • Page 7: Section 2 - Pre-Installation

    Process Fluid The .M104 and .M184 MainLine Electronic Propeller Meters are 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 Pre- debris 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 inaccuracy or malfunction.

    Preventative Maintenance — Annual Inspection of Meterhead Preventative maintenance of the .M104 and .M184 is limited to annual inspection of the propeller shaft bear- ings, propeller, straightening vanes and tube condition. Meter Maintenance Depressurize the line, remove the cap screws and slide the meterhead in the downstream direction. Lift the downstream end of the coverplate and withdraw the meter from the line.

  • Page 17: Section 8 - Programming Of Electronic Totalizer

    Programming 8.1 Preliminary Calculations of Electronic Totalizer Before programming your meter you require 1) The Totalizer Scaling .actor and 2) The Rate Scaling .actor These factors are not the same, but are both calculated using the meters' K (calibration) factor. The meter K is located on the flowmeter calibration sheet shipped with your meter.
