Owner’s Information Packet
Is all your documentation included with your meter? LC
meters come in many variations. The information sent to
you depends on the accessories you have ordered with
your meter. Make an inventory of your Owner’s
Information Packet. First, find your LC packing slip with
the computer printout. Locate the serial number and the
meter model number on this printout. Cross-reference
the packing slip with the actual meter serial numbers.
Included in your Owner’s Information Packet are the
following:
•
Installation and Parts Manual
• Bill of Materials
• SCAMP™ Installation and Operation Manual
Record your meter serial number in the space provided
on the inside cover of this manual. The inside cover also
provides a space for your full-service distributor’s name
and telephone number, if applicable. Fill in this
information and keep it handy. You will always need your
meter serial number and model number when calling for
service or parts. See “How to Order Replacement Parts”
on Page 27 in this manual.
Installation Requirements
! ! ! ! ! WARNING
All internal pressures must be relieved before
disassembly or inspection of the strainer, air eliminator,
any valves in the system, the packing gland, and the
front or rear covers. See “Relieving Internal Pressure”
(Page 10).
• Make sure that all necessary safety precautions
have been taken. Provide for proper ventilation,
temperature control, fire prevention, evacuation,
and fire management.
• Provide easy access to the appropriate fire
extinguishers for your product. Consult with your
local fire department and state and local codes to
make sure that you are adequately prepared.
• Read this manual as well as the literature provided
in your Owner’s Information Packet. If you have any
questions, consult with your full-service distributor
or call the Service Department at Liquid Controls.
• Install the meter and accessories in conformance with
all applicable federal, state, local, construction,
electrical, and safety codes.
• Class 10 meters for LPG must be installed in
accordance with the requirements of ANSI-NFPA 58
in addition to all other state and local codes.
• Under normal operation, do not expose any portion
of the LP-Gas system to pressures in excess of rated
working pressures without an automatic safety valve
to vent the over pressure discharge to a place of
safety away from the operator and other people.
Failure to provide such a safety relief may result in
leakage or rupture of one or more of the components
in the system. This can result in injury or death from
the gas, a fire, or pieces of flying debris from the
rupture.
• Before shipment, protective thread caps were placed
in all meter and accessory openings. They should
remain in place until you are ready to attach piping.
• Prior to meter installation, the entire piping system
should be thoroughly flushed of all debris, with a liquid
that is compatible with the construction of the meter.
• Keep all external surfaces of the meter clean.
• Apply pipe compound to male threads only.
