2.12.1 CHECKLIST FOR 1010 STARTUP & PERFORMANCE

PROGRAMMING

Select appropriate meter yype: Clamp-On, Reflexor, Dual Beam, Flow Tube, etc.
Select proper channel (Dual or Multi-Channel Systems Only).
Use "Full Site Setup"
Create Site (or Recall Site).
Program accurate Pipe Diameter, Material & Wall Thickness (or choose from tables).
Program accurate Liner Material and Thickness (if applicable); Ensure Liner is well
bonded.
Program correct Liquid Type (Estimated Vs), Consult Vs Database for liquids not on
meter menu .
Select Recommended Transducer, HP for Steel Only; Use first choice for Universals, if
possible.
Ensure Transducer Type & Size match programming.
Ensure transducer serial numbers match each other.

INSTALLATION/TRANSDUCER MOUNT GUIDELINES

Install Transducers (Reflect/Direct) as recommended by meter; Use assigned spacing
positions!
Use Reflect Mount whenever possible (Not permitted on plastic pipes).
Avoid placing transducers downstream of flow obstructions, pressure drops, elbows.
Mount upstream of Orifice Plates, Turbines, Valves, "T's"
Allow a minimum of 10 diameters of straight pipe upstream of Transducers; More follow-
ing multi elbows.
If <10 diameters is available, mount Reflect within 2 diameters, in Plane-of-Elbow (on
outside of bend).
DO NOT mount Transducers on top and/or bottom of horizontal pipe!
Ensure pipe is clean and smooth; remove external scale, loose or flaking paint.
Use appropriate Coupling Compound for application (see charts below).
