OPERATIONAL STARTUP
The following practices should be observed when installing and
starting the meter.
1. After meter installation, close the isolation valves, and open
the by-pass valve. Flow liquid through the by-pass valve for
sufficient time to eliminate any air or gas in the flow line.
2. Open up-stream isolating valve slowly to eliminate hydraulic
shock while charging the meter with the liquid. Open the
valve to full open.
3. Open down-stream isolating valve to permit meter to operate.
4. Close the bypass valve to a full position.
5. Adjust the downstream valve to provide the required flow rate
through the meter. Note: The downstream valve may be used
as a control valve.
CALIBRATION
The meter is calibrated on water at the factory and tagged with a
K-Factor (pulses per US Gallon). Also all attached electronics
have been calibrated to match the flow meter’s K-Factor. For
maximum accuracy, the meter should be calibrated with the ac-
tual fluid being measured. The QuikSert™ meter can be recali-
brated by any conventional meter proving processes used to cali-
brate standard meters.
Caution: High velocity air or gas may damage the internal
components of the meter.
Warning: Make sure that fluid flow has been shut off and
pressure in the line released before attempting to install
the meter in an existing system.
