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.
3.2 Mounting Tubes & Saddles Meterheads can be mounted into a round process line using 1) a Sparling Model MT1 In-Line .low Tube or 2) a Sparling Model Installation MS1 Welding Saddle. cont'd. 3.2.1 Meterhead with MT1 In-Line .low Tube (2" - 36") a.
Bolting Vanes a. .or easy vane installation, place each vane in its equivalent position on the outside of the pipe (2) and mark the location for bolt holes. b. Drill holes. Install vanes inside the pipe. Place lead washer and then steel washer on the bolt on Installation outside of pipe and tighten nuts securely (3a).
Maximum flow ranges can be safely exceeded by 50% when used intermittently (10-15% of the time). Your Sparling meter utilizes specially designed propellers and bearings matched to your flow range to insure long life. Flow Rates & Dimensions Integral Mount Remote Mount 3.781"...
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.
Disassembly & Repair 5.2.1 Grip the propeller and remove the propeller nut. Slip the propeller off by tapping it lightly Meter and remove the propeller shaft key (a). Maintenance 5.2.2 Remove the propeller shaft plug assembly and drive the propeller shaft out the rear of the gear box by tapping at the end of the propeller shaft with a rubber mallet or a piece of wood to protect the shaft (b).
Preventative Maintenance — Inspection of Totalizer The ideal time to inspect the totalizer is when you are changing the battery. Totalizer Open meter cover and check for condensation on inside of glass. Spin propeller and make Maintenance sure that the register advances properly. Remove screws holding the totalizer on the meterhead. Examine the battery contacts for signs of moisture intrusion.
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.
8.3 Programming Mode Programming Press PGM button on the programmer for 5 seconds. This acti- of Electronic vates the programming mode. The display will appear as shown in .igure #8.2. The least significant digit will flash on and off. Totalizer cont'd.
8.4 Reset Totalizer - Figure 8.11 Programming of Electronic CAUTION Figure 8.11 Totalizer cont'd. 8.5 Programming Analog Rate Output (optional) Press PGM Button and display screen as shown in .igure #8.12 Figure 8.12 will appear. Program Analog Rate 4 mA value, which for standard analog output is 0.
