Electronic Components
The electronic components have an indefinite life expectan-
cy, but can fail if the system is wired incorrectly, poorly
grounded, or cables used are not to minimum standard re-
quired.
While we do not expect that these components will need
replacement, instructions are provided in case it should be-
come necessary. Any time a pulser has been removed or
replaced, it is
critical,
that it be aligned correctly when
re-installed:
Whether flow is L-to-R,
or R-to-L, mark on Hall
Effect pulser body must
point exactly towards
12 o’clock position, when
meter inlet & outlet are
in the horizontal plane.

Flow Meter - Disassembly and Repair
Installation, Maintenance & Service must be performed
by personnel:
A. Qualified to work on this type of equipment.
B. Familiar with all applicable local codes and ordinanc-
es covering the type of service, where the flow meter
is used (gasoline, LPG, etc.).
Avoid pipe strain and stress when making flow meter repairs.
The weight of the pipe and the flow meter must be supported
independently. This allows the flow meter to be serviced
without affecting the alignment of piping.
Avoid prying or exerting heavy pressure on precision parts,
as this can affect the performance of the flow meter. Assure
that all machined parts are free of burrs and nicks. Stone all
machined surfaces if necessary to remove burrs.
Always coat bolt threads with an anti-seize or an appropriate
lubricant. This prevents thread damage, and assures that
proper torque values are applied during re-assembly.
If threads are damaged, repair using inserts.
Relieve All Internal Pressure Prior to Opening
Drain Liquid prior to Working on Flow Meter
(drain plug = #25)
Rinse with Neutral Liquid prior to Seasonal Storage
Triple Rinse with Neutral Liquid
prior to Shipment for any reason.
Servicing the Electronic Flow Meter
There are only 5 parts or components, which will require in-
spection and/or replacement at some point. In the order they
are likely to occur, these are:
