Receipt & Inspection
Upon receipt of your meter, be sure to inspect the packaging and the flow meter assembly for any damage
before signing the receipt for the shipment. If damage is evident or suspected, notify the delivery company and
refuse receipt of the shipment.
Meters are individually boxed and are protected with packing material. Each package
is identified with the flow meter assembly part number, description, direction of flow
and serial number. Verify that the meter Identification Plate reflects the same model,
size, and configuration as ordered. Contact your distributor if there is any discrepancy.
Meter assemblies should be handled with methods appropriate for the shape, size and
weight involved. Appropriate clothing and shoes should be worn. Transport the meter
package to the installation site with appropriate transportation methods, being careful
not to damage the flow meter.
Be careful of any loose or protruding staples from the packaging, as they can be very
sharp and may potentially cause injury.
If foam has been used to protect the meter, carefully remove top foam layer before attempting to remove the
meter assembly from the box. Foam packaging may be formed around the meter assembly making it difficult to
remove. If meter is bolted to a wood pallet, remove bolts while being careful not to let the meter tip over when
the support has been removed. Do not lift the meter assembly by flex hoses, thermowells, wires, or pulsers.
Also, do not lift the meter by putting objects into or through the meter. Removal of the meter assembly from
its packaging without adhering to these warnings may cause serious injury or damage to the meter.
The wooden pallets and bases meet the ISPM 15 Guidelines for Regulating Wood Packaging Material in
International Trade through the Timber Products Inspection Company (TP #2134).
Every effort has been made to remove the calibration fluid before shipment. All TCS flow meters are plugged
and enclosed in a plastic bag. Appropriate precautions should be taken regarding any personal, environmental
and material compatibility with the end use system.
