    INSTALLATION Below is a typical QS200 meter with labeled components. Familiarize yourself with the meter before installation. Figure 2...
  • Page 10 INSTALLATION (Continued) QS200 ultrasonic sensors should be installed in a ground box with straight runs of pipe equal to 10 pipe diameters upstream, and 5 times the pipe diameter downstream to prevent turbulence that can decrease the sensor’s accuracy. Without these straight runs, QS200 sensors will still detect higher and lower than expected flows and unscheduled flows.
  • Page 11 INSTALLATION (Continued) Remove all burrs from the pipe ends I.D. and O.D. edges and the Tee sockets I.D. edges (see Figure 4). Clean and apply primer to the pipe ends and Tee sockets (see Figure 5) Apply PVC cement to pipe ends and Tee sockets and quickly assemble the parts while the cement is fluid.
  • Page 12 INSTALLATION (Continued) Wiring Connections NOTE: Wiring diagram is shown in next section. When using 18 AWG cable, cut off the unused wires so that they are even with the sheath of the cable. NOTE: For 18 AWG connections, remember the color of the wires you use so that you can make an identical connection with the same wires later.
  • Page 13 INSTALLATION (Continued) Strip insulation 3/4 in. (19 mm). With wire ends even, insert wires into the connector and tighten until secure. Insert the connector all the way into the tube until the connector rests on the bottom of the tube. NOTE: If having difficulty getting the twist-on connector down into the tube when using small gauge wires, use a thin, non-conductive object to push the connector to the bottom of the tube.

  • Page 14: Operation

    LEDs Functionality There are two LEDs on the QS200 product. The GREEN LED is used to indicate basic power and functionality of the meter. The AMBER LED is used to indicate that there is a flow of water through the QS200 meter insert. The LEDs will behave in the following manner to...

  • Page 15: Troubleshooting

    TROUBLE SHOOTING The LEDs are the primary indicators of meter performance. Refer to the Operations Section for LED indicating functionality. Entrained air is air bubbles suspended in the water flow. Entrained air creates errors in accuracy of ultrasonic technology meters. Recommend a maximum of 10% entrained air in the water flow.

    These instructions also apply when a FLOMEC QS200 insert is used as a replacement insert in other brands of Tee type meters that have an obsolete or unreliable insert. The FLOMEC QS200 is a direct replacement for a paddle wheel type insert in most meters that have a Tee type housing.

  • Page 18 Tee, making sure no dirt or other particles fall into the insert bore of the meter (see Figure 14). NOTE: The FLOMEC Multi-Tool (P/N 146055-501) can be used to make removal of old insert easier (see Figure 17).
  • Page 19 NOTE: The FLOMEC Multi-Tool (P/N 146055-501) can be used to make installing new insert easier (see Figure 18). NOTE: The O-rings on the outside of the QS200 Retrofit Insert are square profile O-rings. When installing in another brand of Tee, if the insert fits too tight into the Tee, replace the square profile O-rings with the round profile O-rings included with the QS200 Retrofit Insert.
  • Page 20 Using the FLOMEC Multi-Tool The multi-tool was designed exclusively for tee type meters that use an insertion type insert. It facilitates easier removal of the insert, whether from a QS200 meter or other brands of tee type insertion meters. It is especially useful when attempting to remove an old, inoperative, or inaccurate insert from another brand of tee type insertion meter for replacement with a QS200 insert.
