CAUTION
If there are any leaks around the clamping nut or stem, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO STOP THE
LEAKAGE BY OVERTIGHTENING THE CLAMPING NUT. Damage to this nut or the clamping
ring under the nut may prevent the assembly from properly holding the meter in the pipe. The
clamping nut is not part of the sealing mechanism. Any leaks in this area indicate that the
“O” ring is not sealing properly and you must contact ONICON for assistance.
WARNING
When you are ready to rell the system, make sure that all lines are lled with water before
inserting the meter into the ow stream. If the lines are not lled and this is a hot water
system, some water may ash to steam and exceed the high temperature limit for the sensor
head assembly. This ash over could also exceed the pressure ratings of the meter and the
assembly could fail allowing steam and hot water to escape causing serious injury.
