5.2 Service
The PanaFlow Z3 is a calibrated process flow meter. Local requirements may not allow field replacement of any
components in this flow metering system without a proper calibration of the entire system at an approved
calibration facility. Check with your local Panametrics & Panametrics Flow meter representative to determine if field
replacement of components is allowed.
5.2.1 Spare Parts
If a fault is found with the flow meter electronics, the entire measurement head can be replaced to ensure hardware
and firmware compatibility. To ensure that the correct part number is ordered, provide your local Panametrics &
Panametrics Flow meter representative with the serial number of the meter, located as shown on the "Part String and
Serial Number Tag Plate”.
If it is determined that a flow transducer has been damaged or is faulty, it may also be replaced in the field. Please
consult the factory for the appropriate part number.
5.2.2 Installing Replacement Parts
If it is appropriate to replace any component of the flow metering system, the Panametrics & Panametrics Flow
meter field service team is trained and equipped to perform the replacement on-site. Installation of these field
replaceable parts by a BakerHughes field service team member will maintain the accuracy of the system and any
applicable warranty. Transducer and electronics replacement has been proven to maintain calibration. Please
consult the factory to order the appropriate components and to schedule installation in the field.
