Maintenance Instructions

Calibration

Annual calibration is recommended. Return to the factory for calibration, or follow the
Flow and Temperature Calibration Procedures on pages 8 and 9.

Caution: Do not blow compressed air through the flowmeter. Damage to
the rotor and shaft may result.

Drain liquid from inside Tracer flowmeter when not in use to prevent build-up of scale
and mineral deposits.

Copper Plumbing Alert

DO NOT connect an aluminum body flowmeter directly to copper plumbing. Galvanic
corrosion is very likely to occur. Stainless steel body material is strongly recommended
for this application. Contact the factory for more information.

EMI/RFI

Electromagnetic Interference or Radio Frequency Interference may impair the proper
operation of the Switching Tracer. If the unit unexpectedly turns itself off, check the
area around the cable and electronic unit for pumps, heaters and electrical relays that
may emit EMI/RFI. Move the cable and electronic housing away from Thermal
Control Units, Heater Bands, Pumps, etc. If the problem persists, contact the factory.
