Other Factors Affecting Performance
Do not locate the flow meter or connection cable close to electronic motors, transformers, sparking devices, high voltage
lines, or place connecting cable in conduit with wires furnishing power for such devices . These devices can induce false
signals in the flow meter coil or cable, causing the meter to read inaccurately .
Severe pulsation and/or severe mechanical vibration will affect accuracy and shorten the life of the meter . Steps should be
taken to remedy these conditions if they are present .
OTEE: N Incompatible gases will deteriorate internal parts and cause the meter to read inaccurately .
Mounting
The B142 turbine meter is supplied with two “centering rings” that make installation straightforward . Gaskets and either bolts
or threaded rods supplied by the customer are also required . See Figure 4 .
1 . Insert the bottom two bolts between the mounting flanges and install the nuts loosely .
2 . Place the centering rings on the outside diameter of the B142 meter and align the bolt notches .
3 . Place the centering rings with the B142 meter installed on the two bottom bolts between the flanges .
4 . Insert and center the face gaskets .
5 . Insert the remaining bolts and nuts .
6 . Tighten the nuts to the flange manufacturer's specifications .
If problems arise with the flow meter or monitor, consult the
Troubleshooting Guide on page 14 . If further problems arise,
consult the factory . If the internal components of the turbine flow meter are damaged beyond repair, order replacement
turbine cartridges .
