Maintenance and Recalibration

General:

L and LC Series Water Flow Meters and Controllers require minimal maintenance. The primary

cause of damage and/or long-term inaccuracy in these devices is contamination and/or corrosion

damage. Water should be filtered for particulates or biological materials that may grow in the device.

When removing these units from the line for any extended period of time, make an effort to remove all

of the water from the device, as deposits of calcium or other soluble minerals can affect the accuracy

of the device.

Recalibration: The recommended period for recalibration is once every year. Providing that the CLEAN,

DRY, and NON-CORROSIVE mantra is observed, this periodic recalibration is sufficient. A label located

on the back of the meter lists the recalibration due date. The meter should be returned to the factory for

recalibration near the listed due date. Before calling to schedule a recalibration, please note the serial

number on the back of the meter. The Serial Number, Model Number, and Date of Manufacture are also

available on the Manufacture Data 2 screen (page 16).

Cleaning: L and LC Series Flow Meters require no periodic cleaning. If necessary, the outside of the

meter can be cleaned with a soft dry rag. Avoid excess moisture or solvents.
