Expiry dates of the compliance assessments are specified in the metrologic regulations. After deinstallation
of the water meter from the mains, it is recommended to thoroughly check its indication accuracy for the
purpose of comparison, and only after this is done, start the disassembly and cleaning. Do not use cleaning
chemicals which have harmful influence on the materials from which the water meter elements are made of.
It is unacceptable to use for cleaning any chemical reagents which cause corrosion of materials or which are
solutions, particularly for plastics, or which cause accelerated ageing of gaskets.
Repairs should be performed in specially prepared water meter repair stations, or in service plants.
When the repair necessitates replacement of parts, use only original spare parts supplied by Apator
Powogaz S.A. After the repair, the water meters are checked according to the current regulations.
9. Storage and transport
Water meters received from deliveries or deinstalled from the mains should be stored with counter face up or
on the side, in a closed room free from caustic, stinking vapours etc. which have a destructive effect on the
water meter condition. The room temperature should be between 5
°C and 50°C, and air relative humidity no
more than 90%. Both during transport and storage, the water meter should be protected from vibrations and
in particular from shock which may cause damage of body or internal elements. The transport should take
place with covered means of transport in manufacturer's packaging or a substitutive package which entirely
protects the product from damage.
10. Malfunctions and removing them
If the counter does not indicate anything as the water flows, check whether the inlet sieve is not jammed by
dirt. If the water meter does not work after cleaning and in any other case it is not working, give it to be
repaired. Remember to share your observations. If the pulse transmitter is not working, notify the supplier. If
after the consultation with the supplier the fault cannot be removed, the water meter should be left at a
service.
11. Safety requirements and environmental aspects
The water meter is a measurement device which is safe to use if installation and operation requirements
adequate for the intended use are observed.
During installation, handling and operation there may be risks relating to the water meter itself:
▪
Mechanical threats:
□
If carried improperly, it may fall
□
Water leaks and flooding due to installation of the product which does not agree with installation
requirements or excessive water pressure
▪
Thermal threats:
□
Scalding due to contact with the used water meter
In order to install and use the water meter, choose an easily accessible place.
