Section2—InstallationandOperation

Unpacking

All Barton owmeters are tested and inspected during manufacture. However,

the instrument should be inspected at time of unpacking to detect any damage

that may have occurred during shipment.

Unpacking Procedure

1. For applications requiring special cleaning/precautions, a polyethylene

bag is used to protect the instrument from contamination. This bag

should be removed only in an extremely clean environment.

2. Unpack the meter and verify the accuracy of the information listed on the

packing slip (proper model number, serial number, calibration data, etc.).

3. Remove the threaded protectors or ange covers from the meter housing.

4. For meters up to 3-inch size, place the meter in a horizontal position

and blow (lung pressure should be sufcient) into the inlet port. Place

larger meters in a horizontal position and turn the rotor by hand or with

a wooden dowel. In either instance, the rotor should turn freely with no

evidence of roughness or binding in the rotation.

5. Visually inspect the meter inside and outside (without disassembling the

meter). Report any visible damage to Cameron immediately.

6. Replace the thread protectors and ange covers, then place the meter

back inside the polyethylene bag. Note: Meters may be stored indenitely

in the polyethylene bag.
