  • Page 4: Theory Of Operation

    Introduction The TA-3 Sanitary turbine flow meter is designed with wear resistant moving parts to provide trouble-free operation and long service life. The durable 316L stainless steel construction provides a cost efficient flow measurement system that offers excellent accuracy and repeatability. The TA-3 Sanitary turbine meter repair kit is designed for easy field service of a damaged flow meter, rather than replacing the entire flow meter.
  • Page 5: Installation

    Installation WARNING: The meter should not be subjected to temperatures above 300° F (149° C), below -150° F (-101°C) or the freezing point of the metered liquid. High temperatures will damage the magnetic pickup, while lower temperatures will limit the rotation of the rotor. WARNING: Incompatible fluids could deteriorte internal parts and cause the meter to read inaccurately.
  • Page 6 Severe pulsation and mechanical vibration affects accuracy and shortens the life of the meter. The preferred plumbing setup is one containing a bypass line that allows meter inspection and repair without interrupting flow. See Figure 2. If a bypass line is not utilized, it is important that all control valves be located downstream of the flow meter.
  • Page 7 Do not locate the flow meter or connection cable close to electric motors, transformers, sparking devices, high voltage lines, or place connecting cable in conduit with wires furnishing power for such devices. These devices can induce false signals in the flow meter coil or cable causing the meter to read inaccurately.

  • Page 12 NOTE: After installing the new repair kit, the electronics will need re-calibration. Refer to the electronics’ installation and operation manual. If there are any questions on re-calibration, contact AW-Lake Company at 1.800.850.6110 or contact the manufacturer of the associated electronics.
