INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 1. It is recommended that a bypass line be included in the design. This provides the facility for a meter The flow meter can accept flow in any direction. removed maintenance without interrupting production. (see figure) 5. The meter can be installed in any orientation as long as the meter shafts are in a horizontal plane as per the picture.

1. Before reassembling, check the condition of flow meter parts (rotors, body, cap, seal O-ring and shafts). Re place if necessary. Contact Macnaught to check for spare parts availability. 2. One of the rotors is active (have magnets) and other one is neutral. The active rotor can be identified by running a metal object over the face of the rotor.
