SECTION 2.0: UNPACKING
Insertion Flow Meters are generally shipped in one package unless optional hardware or
equipment is ordered. This package may contain up to two complete meters along with the
optional installation kits. If any display equipment was ordered with the meters, the other
equipment will be packed separately. Please open all packages with caution to prevent
damage to their contents. In the event that they are damaged when you receive them, notify
the shipping company immediately and the ONICON Customer Service Department. All
products are shipped insured unless customer specifically requests otherwise.
2.1 CHECKING THAT YOU HAVE RECEIVED EVERYTHING
• The Documentation
Enclosed with each Insertion Flow Meter is a comprehensive documentation package
which includes the following items:
! OWNER’S MANUAL
! FLOW METER CALIBRATION DATA SHEETS
Please notify the ONICON customer service department if any of these documents are
missing.
• The Flow Meter
The flow meter is a rugged instrument and should arrive without any damage;
however, prior to installation, inspect it for physical damage such as broken turbine
blades or a damaged stem.
! Test the turbine(s) to see that they rotate freely when you blow on them
parallel to their shafts.
! Make sure that the threads on the hot tap adapter have not been damaged.
! Inspect the long stem for bends or other damage. The stem forms the seal
against liquid leakage as it slides through an ‘O’ ring outside the hot tap
adapter. Deep scratches may cause leakage.
! The serial and model numbers on the wire connection/calibration data tag
should match the numbers on the tag mounted directly on the flow meter. Be
sure that the unit was calibrated to the correct pipe size and flow range.
