TCS 700 METER INSTALLATION

RECOMMENDATIONS

• The pipe should be laid out as straight as possible to reduce product flow restriction.

• It is not necessary for the air eliminator to be installed bolted directly to the meter. It can be installed upstream from the meter. For effective operation of the air eliminator, it should be mounted between the meter and any valves, tees or any other potential places where air may enter the system.

• The metering system should include a means to prove meter accuracy

• The meter and piping must be installed in such as way as to avoid accidental draining of the meter.

START-UP AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

• For start-up at news installations and after maintenance or repairs:

• The meter and accessories are run in and calibrated at the factory with a petroleum base product. Flushing may be required. If installation is to be used with edible product, sanitize meter before installation.

• Open valves slowly to flood piping and equipment. This step will ensure that shock to moving parts in the equipment is kept to a minimum and will help ensure that all air is out of the system.

• Check the strainer screen frequently and remove any entrapped particles. Weld slag, thread cuttings, rust, rocks and other debris can cause damage to the meter and accessories.

• The meter may be bypassed on start-up or replaced by a pipe spool, or protective devices may be installed upstream from the meter. Once the system has run "clean" for a time, the meter may be reinstalled or protective devices removed.

• The meter shall be tested and calibrated when installed. Total Control Systems shall not be responsible for loss of product or any damages resulting from the end user’s failure to test this meter to insure proper calibration. Improper calibration can result in incorrect measurements of fluid being delivered. It is the owner’s responsibility to report this device to the local U.S. Weights and Measures officials for their inspection before the meter is put to use.

• Valves should be opened slowly to avoid a pressure surge that can damage the meter or air eliminator. System pressures should be maintained below 70psi.

• Strainers should be cleaned frequently.
