Safety and Preliminary Checks
Observe the following safety and preliminary checks before and during each installation:
l Verify that you are at the location specified on the site work order.
l Follow all industry and company safety guidelines and procedures.
l Verify that the site is safe for you and your equipment.
l If applicable, notify the customer of your presence, and tell the customer that you need
access to the water meter.
l Write the ID number of the MACH 10 meter you are about to install on the site work order.
If the site work order already has a MACH 10 IDnumber, verify that it matches the ID
number on the MACH 10 you are about to install.
Installation and Application Considerations
This section provides information to consider before installing the C&I MACH 10.
Water Temperature
The temperature range of the water is a factor in the selection of an ultrasonic meter, since
the meter is calibrated to operate within a specified range. The MACH 10 meter is calibrated
for water operating temperature between 33° F and 122° F (or 0.5° C and 50° C) measuring
applications.
Meter Installation
Install the MACH 10 meter using horizontal or vertical piping applications. The meter features
standard lay lengths for ease of retrofit of mechanical meters. A flow direction arrow is visible
on the side of the meter and top of the cover to aid in installation in the proper direction.
For installations that use test spools, strainers, and elbows, it is recommended that you
follow best practices and guidelines defined for mechanical meters.
