User Manual INSTALLATION PRESSURE IN EXCESS OF ALLOWABLE RATING MAY CAUSE THE HOUSING TO BURST AND CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY. Check the internals of the flow meter for any foreign material. Ensure the turbine rotor spins freely prior to installation. Also, check fluid lines and remove any debris found. Install the flow meter with the flow arrow, etched on the exterior of the meter body, pointing in the direction of fluid flow.

Turbine Flow Meter, Model 1200 Turbine Flow Meter OPERATIONAL STARTUP Follow these steps when installing and starting the meter. MAKE SURE TO SHUT OFF FLUID FLOW AND RELEASE THE PRESSURE IN THE LINE BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO INSTALL THE METER IN AN EXISTING SYSTEM. 1. After meter installation, close the isolation valves and open the bypass valve. Allow liquid to flow through the bypass valve for sufficient time to eliminate any air or gas in the flow line.
User Manual TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Problem Possible Cause Remedy Meter indicates higher than actual flow rate. Cavitation. Debris on rotor support. Increase back pressure Clean meter. Meter indicates lower than actual flow rate. Debris on rotor. Worn bearing. Viscosity higher than calibrated. Clean meter and add filter. Replace meter. Change temperature; change fluid; recalibrate meter. Erratic system indication, meter alone works well. Ground loop in shielding. Ground shield one place only.
