SECTI ON 2.0 SYSTEM OPERATI ON AND SET-UP SYSTEM OPERATI ON The D-1401 and D-1402 Display Module LCD display shows the flow rate as a number representing the frequency output signal, in Hertz, from the flow meter. The D-1401 Display Module shows the frequency output signal of the single turbine from the F-1100.
D-1402 systems, the top turbine output can be observed to see when it clears the pipe wall and begins to spin.) Beginning at that point, start making measurements at the desired incremental insertion depths.

M ECHANI CAL I NSTALLATI ON To take advantage of the ONICON Flow Meter’ s built-in Hot Tap feature, it must be installed through an isolation valve. The location must allow sufficient overhead clearance for meter removal. IMPORTANT! A full 1” opening is required to clear the turbine assembly. Make sure that your valves and fittings are full port and at least 1”...

Then, a hot tap drilling apparatus can be used to drill a 1” diameter hole through the valve, without shutting down or draining the pipe. (See Appendix A for List of Available Onicon Installation Hardware Kits for other types of pipe materials and applications.) After fitting the necessary plumbing hardware, flush the entire system so that it is free of flux, solder and slag.
This will require less torque than you might think, so be careful not to overtighten it and risk damaging the adapter, nut or stem. D-1401 & D-1402 Portable Metering System Installation and Operation Guide • 03-17...
Partially unscrew the adapter and allow pressure to vent from the hot tap adapter. There will be very little water in the hot tap adapter; however, a small bucket or pan should be held under the valve to catch any spilled water.
