Pre-Installation Safety Procedures
1. Please read all instructions and cautionary markings on the instrument, as well as all appropriate
sections of the
SmartTrak 100 Series Instruction Manual , Chapter 2 and Appendix D before using this
product.
2. General operation, display interface, PC software and electrical installation are same as a standard
SmartTrak 100 Series mass flow meter and controller.
3. Verify proper connection of all pressure sources and electrical signals prior to applying pressure or
power to the 100HP. See
SmartTrak 100 Series Instruction Manual, Chapter 2 for complete installation
and operating instructions.
4. Pressurization Procedures

Slowly apply pressure to the system. Open process valves slowly to avoid flow surges. When
applying pressure to the system, take care to avoid unnecessary pressure shocks in the system.

Check for leaks around the meter inlet and outlet connections. If no leaks are present, bring the
system up to operating pressure.

Never test for leaks with a liquid leak detector . If liquid seeps into the electronics or the sensor
compartment, the instrument may be damaged. Instead, use a pressure-•
‐
decay test (if liquid MUST be
used at all, limit it to the fittings and keep it off the body of theinstrument).

Increase pressure gradually up to the level of actual operating conditions. Follow standard practice
for pressurized systems.
5. Apply power only after reviewing wiring diagrams in the SmartTrak 100 Series Instruction
Manual, Chapter 2 .

7. Apply gas flow only after checking plumbing connections for leaks.
