SECTION 2.0: UNPACKING
Turbine flow meters are generally shipped in one package unless optional hardware or equipment is
ordered. This package may contain up to two complete meters along with the optional installation kits.
Any display equipment ordered with the meters, will be packed separately. Please open all packages
with caution to avoid damaging to their contents. In the event that anything is damaged when you
receive it, notify the shipping company immediately and the ONICON customer service department.
Most products are shipped insured unless the customer specifically requests otherwise.
2.1 CHECKING THAT YOU HAVE RECEIVED EVERYTHING
The Documentation
Enclosed with each flow meter is a comprehensive documentation package which
includes the following items:
• Installation and Operation Guide
• Flow Meter Calibration Certificate
Please notify the ONICON customer service department if any documents are missing.
The Flow Meter
The flow meter was carefully packed prior to shipment and should arrive without any
damage. Prior to installation, inspect for physical damage such as broken turbine blades or
a damaged stem.
• Test the turbine(s) to see that they rotate freely when you gently blow on them
parallel to their shafts.
• Make sure that the threads on the insertion meter hot tap adapter have not been
damaged.
• Inspect the insertion meter stem for bends or other damage. The stem forms
the seal against liquid leakage as it slides through an ‘O’ ring inside the hot tap
adapter. Deep scratches may cause leakage.
• The serial and model numbers on the laminated wiring connection /calibration
data tag attached to the meter should match the numbers on the tag mounted
directly on the flow meter. Be sure that the unit was calibrated to the correct pipe
size and flow range.
