MAINTENANCE, REPAIR AND TROUBLE SHOOTING

MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR

There are no user-serviceable parts in the 1" Meter Series meters except the batteries.

Battery Replacement

When the “Lo Batt” indicator appears, the batteries should be changed. Six alkaline AA cells are required. To change the batteries, first remove the 

four screws which hold the top cover in place. Be careful not to lose the washers. Move the top cover to one side and remove the foam retainer 

which covers the battery tray. Remove the old batteries and replace them with fresh ones, taking care to follow the polarity indicators in the battery 

tray. Replace the foam retainer, then put the top cover back in place. Put the four screws with washers back and tighten them firmly.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

PROBLEM

PROBABLE CAUSE

TRY

Blank Display

Batteries dead or incorrectly installed

Check polarity, replace batteries

Reading “-EP-”

Empty or partly filled pipe  

Excessive air pockets or foaming

Rearrange piping to ensure full pipe

Flow but no flow rate reading

Heavily coated electrodes

Remove meter and wipe electrodes

8

Display

The display reads flow rate and accumulated total, in the units for which it was ordered. The top line is total, the bottom line is rate, and indicators 

give the units (ac-ft, GPM for instance.) Empty or partially-full pipe is  automatically detected and is indicated by a reading of “-EP-”.

Battery

Estimated battery life is approximately one year. Results may vary depending on the application. On the battery-powered 1" Meter Series there are  

low-battery indicators (“lo bat”) when the battery voltage drops below a certain point. Batteries should be changed within four weeks of the  

appearance of this indicator.
