Requirements BEACON FIRST TIME SETUP For meters connected to ORION Cellular LTE-M, LTE-MS or LTE endpoints, perform these steps to make sure the E-Series Ultrasonic meter sensor information is accessible in BEACON In BEACON, select the Assets tab Then select Utility Settings from the menu on the left Figure 1: BEACON Assets On the Utility Settings page, scroll down to the Monitor Page Filters section and find the Sensors section...
Safety Information SAFETY INFORMATION The installation of the E-Series Ultrasonic meter must comply with all applicable federal, state and local rules, regulations and codes Failure to read and follow these instructions can lead to misapplication or misuse of the meter, resulting in personal injury and damage to equipment PRODUCT UNPACKING AND INSPECTION To avoid damage in transit, E-Series Ultrasonic meters are shipped to the customer in special shipping containers Upon...
Meter Operating Modes METER OPERATING MODES The E-Series Ultrasonic meter automatically moves through storage and transition mode into active mode based on water flow: • Storage Mode E-Series Ultrasonic meters are delivered in storage mode so that a meter alarm is not triggered In storage mode, the meter LCD displays the empty pipe icon on the consumption screen, an empty pipe code on the alarm screen (but no alarm code is sent to the endpoint) and –...
Installation • METERS MUST OPERATE IN A COMPLETELY FILLED LINE AT ALL TIMES. THE DOWNSTREAM PIPING MUST ALWAYS BE ARRANGED TO PROVIDE SUFFICIENT BACK PRESSURE TO MAINTAIN A FULL LINE AT THE METER. BY ELIMINATING AIR IN THE LINE, AS WELL AS SUDDEN FLOW SURGES, INACCURATE REGISTRATION AND DAMAGE TO THE METER CAN BE AVOIDED.

Installation For 5/8…1 in. Threaded Ends • Start the coupling nuts at the threaded meter ends Verify that the nuts are properly aligned to avoid cross-threading or damage to the meter ends • An effective method for starting a coupling nut is: Position the nut squarely against the meter's spud end Turn the nut counterclockwise (in reverse) while holding the nut against the meter spud end When the first threads on both the nut and the spud end coincide, you will hear a slight click and feel the nut move into the...
Operations OPERATIONS Display E-Series Ultrasonic meters use a 9-digit Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) that toggles to show consumption, rate of flow, temperature,* pressure,* alarm and operating mode, and firmware version Indicator and alarm icons appear in the display as symbols that illuminate when the condition is active See "Meter Alarms"...
Operations Display Screens Total Consumption Screen Gallons The total consumption screen shows all nine digits, including leading zeroes and a decimal point The displayed value is the sum of the forward flow minus the reverse flow The display also includes indicator lines above and below the digits to represent the typical utility Meter reading to the nearest? 100th gallon =...
