1. Components 1.1. Constitution The mechanical meter consists of following elements: - A positive displacement measuring chamber type MA 21 (1). - A transmission system (2) AB40 comprising: - A calibrating mechanism model AB35 (3). - A meter head (4) - An accumulative ticket printer with a reset can be linked to the register.
The electronic meter consists of following elements: - A positive displacement measuring chamber type MA 21 (1). - Transmitter(Issuer) of impulses AC 30 (2) - Electronic computer MPC (3) Printed on 26/04/12 4/15 U514986-e Revision 4...
1.2. Operating principle Meter with inlet on left The liquid enters the metering unit in the direction indicated by the arrows (A). The rotor assembly is set in motion under the pressure of the liquid on the blades (3). A certain amount of liquid (4) is captured between two consecutive blades, and measured on the part of the circular way corresponding to the biggest of the 2 radii of the stator, and then pushed towards the outlet manifold (B).
1.3. Blade-type positive displacement measurement chamber Centre O The measuring chamber consists of: - An aluminium body (1) made up of 2 cylindrical parts (2) and (3) of different radii, connected via curves in such a way that the sum of the distances from center point O to two points opposite each other on the stator is constant.
1.4. Transmission device AB40 The transmission device, including the adjustment device AB35, forms the links between the measurement chamber and the mechanical indicating device. It consists of : - A housing (1) - A adjustment device AB35 (2) - A drive shaft (3) - Conical gears (4 &...
1.5. AB35 adjustment device Using the AB35 calibrating mechanism it is possible to vary the speed of rotation between the inlet shaft (1) and the outlet shaft (2) in order to adjust the precision of the meter. The AB35 calibrating mechanism is located at the outlet of the transmission device. The movement of the measuring chamber drives the transmission device gear via the endless screw.
1.6. Preset with XAD 39 mechanical Preset valve A cam assembled on the lower part of the preset controls a shaft which opens or closes the preset valve . The Preset valve consists of the following elements : An outer casing in aluminium (1) A moving needle (2) A mobile part consisting of a piston (3), a gasket (4) which slides within the chamber A spring (5) maintaining the moving part on its seat (6)
Pull the control lever towards yourself 4.2. Checking low flow initiation For a ZC 17-24 or a 48 meter, low flow is initiated at approximately 30 litres from the end of delivery (transfer from high to low flow at 30 litres from end of loading).
Position Petit Débit 45° Cran d’ornement Réglage du petit débit par rotation du galet excentrique avec une clé extra plate de 19 et une clé plate de 10 4.3. 3 ways valve operation 1. Insert a ticket in the ticket printer 2.
5. Metrological check - Adjustment operation 5.1. Metrological check Current DIRRECTE and LNE (Weights and Measures) legislation require : . Metrological inspection of meter at operation start-up . Subsequent yearly inspections. If during gauging the meter is found to be outside the accepted error, it is possible to re-calibrate the meter using the AB 35 calibrating mechanism.

5 - Check adjustment by carrying out a new gauging test 6 - Put the cover back in place and tighten the screws. 7 - Re-seal C - PRINCIPLE OF ADJUSTMENT Reminder : 1 notch of the calibration screw (3) = 0.25‰ in whatever direction adjustment is made. 1 - Note the position of the calibrating screw.
6.3.1. Measurement chamber MA21-12 The actual measuring chamber itself does not require preventive maintenance. Any intervention necessary must be carried out by a repairer approved by SATAM with test equipment approved for basic inspections of the meter. 6.3.2. Mechanical indicating device See the Installation and Operation Manual.
6.3.3. Transmission device AB40 The worm screw and gear (1 & 2) : - Check clearance - Clean and grease Bearings (4 & 5) on shaft (3) : - Check wear - Clean and grease In the upper part of the AB40 : - Check the rings and the drive gear shaft leading to the mechanical indicating device - Clean and grease the drive gears assembly N.B : The AB35 adjustment device does not require preventive maintenance.
