thoroughly inspected for indication of rough handling during transit. Necessary handling precautions are
described in this section; read the instructions carefully.
As for other information, find the respective sections from "CONTENTS" on pages 2 and 3. For any
inquiries, contact your nearest Oval designated sales office.

Nameplate
(ratings shown)
1.1 Confirming the Nameplate
Every Ultra Oval is assembled and adjusted
according to individual specification. Product code
number and ratings are stated on the nameplate
of the register. Make sure that, by referring to the
general specifications on pages 43 and 44, and the
product code configuration on page 46, the ratings
shown conform to your particular specification.
1.2 Transportation Considerations
(1) To safeguard against damage during transit, transport your Ultra Oval to the installation site in the
same container used for transportation from the factory if circumstances permit.
(2) Ultra Oval is adjusted and inspected as an assembly consisting of the meter body, sensor and
register. It should therefore be handled as an integral assembly.
(3) The register is accurately configured and adjusted. Do not attempt to remove the front cover to gain
access to its internal assembly.
1.3 Storage Considerations
If your Ultra Oval is stored for long periods of time upon receipt before installation, unexpected faulty
conditions could result. If a long-term storage is anticipated, take the following precautions:
(1) Keep your Ultra Oval in store in the same shipping container used for transportation from Oval if
possible.
(2) Place of storage should conform to the following requirements:
★
Free from rain and water.
★
Free from vibration and impact shocks.
★
Temperature and relative humidity in the storage place are at or near room temperature and
humidity (around 25
°
C and 65%).
(3) Purge the Ultra Oval that has once been placed in service with clean air, N
2
gas, etc. to prevent
the metered fluid from adhering to the meter connections, piping inner walls, housing, etc. before
storage. (Wash clean with suitable detergent if necessary.)
(4) In case of storage for extended periods of time, good practice is to keep in store in the same
containers used for shipment from the factory.
