REED switch can now be replaced on the meter in the recesses 
provided. 

 

Excessive tightening of the reed switch securing screws should 
be guarded against at all times. 

 

Meters should not be fitted systems which are subjected to any  
excessive hydraulic shock, or damage to the meter internals may 
result. 

 

Electrical Connections. 

Electrical connections between the meter and the indicating of 
control instrument shall be made using screened cable. The reed 
switch assembly is provided with a short length of flying lead. The 
reed switch is encapsulated in hermetically epoxy resin. The switch 
withstand temperature up 100°C and is completely waterproofed 
The maximum 

recommended 

lenght of cable is 100 metres. 

 

 

Dism antli ng.  
The meter has been designed to require the minimum of 
maintenance. However, genera/ planned maintenance is 
recommended and the following procedures may be adopted 
for alt maintenance purposes: 

 

Isolate the meter from its source of supply and if possible drain 

it. 

 

Remove the REED switch. 

 

Remove the meter from the pipeline by undoing the union nuts 
and  springing  the  pipework  slightly  to  disconnect  the 
connections  or  with  flanged  version  of  the  meter  by  undoing 
flanged  bolls  and  sliding  the  meter  from  belween  the  system 
flanges. 

 

Empity liquid from the meter. 

 

Undo the socked head cap screws from one end of the meter 
and remove the end port. Some resistance will be felt when 
removing the parte as an "O" ring seal is located on the end 
place spigot. 

 

Remove the piston chamber place by lifting vertical/y out of the 
body using the centre knob provided. 

 

Remove piston by gently lifting from the body.
