DESCRIPTION
Recordall Turbo Series meters meet or exceed the most recent
revision of AWWA Standard C701 Class II Standards and are
available in a lead-free bronze alloy for sizes 1-1/2 in. through 10 in.
and cast iron for 12 in. meters. Turbo Series meters comply with the
lead-free provisions of the Safe Drinking Water Act. Sizes
1-1/2 in. through 10 in. meters are also certified to NSF/ANSI
Standards 61 and 372 (Trade Designation: Turbo Series LL-NS)
and carry the NSF-61 mark on the housing. All components of the
lead-free alloy meter (housing, measuring element, seals and so on)
comprise the certified system.
Models 160 through 6200 are designed for 1-1/2 in. through
12 in. applications. These meters feature:
• Direct coupled turbine based on an exclusive in.floating rotor
in. design that reduces bearing friction—and associated wear
and tear.
• Low pressure loss for improved system efficiency.
• Exceptional registration accuracy across low flow rate, normal
operating flow rate and maximum continuous operation flow.
• Permanently sealed, tamper-resistant register or encoder.
• Integral strainer option for sizes 1-1/2 in. through 4 in.
help protect your system from damaging debris and
related downtime.
• Meters and encoders are compatible with Badger Meter
AMR/AMI meter reading systems and other approved
reading technologies.
Applications: Recordall Turbo Series meters are designed for
cold water, commercial and industrial applications where flows
are consistent medium to high flows. Applications include hotels,
apartment buildings, irrigations centers and manufacturing and
processing plants. Turbo Series meters help reduce
day-to-day maintenance costs while delivering accurate and
efficient performance.
Operation & Performance: Direct magnetic drive is achieved
when the magnet carrier is driven by a gear train coupled to
the rotor. The gear train consists of two sets of gears connected
by a vertical transmission shaft. One gear set is at the magnet
carrier, the other is a worm gear set at the rotor shaft. When
water flows into the Turbo Series meter measuring element, it
contacts the multi-vaned rotor. The resulting rotor rotation is
then transmitted by magnetic coupling to a sealed register or
encoder. The direct magnetic drive is built to provides a reliable
meter-to-registration coupling.
Tamper-Proof Features: Unauthorized removal of the register
or encoder is inhibited by the option of a tamper detection seal
wire screw, TORX® tamper-resistant seal screw or the proprietary
tamper-resistant keyed seal screw. Each can be installed at the
meter site or at the factory.
Construction: The Recordall Turbo Series meter is constructed in
compliance with ANSI and AWWA C701 standards. It consists of
the following basic components: meter housing, interchangeable,
unitized measuring element and permanently sealed direct
reading registers or encoders.
The measuring element consists of the transmission coupling,
rotor, inlet and outlet straightening vanes with nose cones, and
calibration ring assembly. The unique inlet and outlet straightening
vanes minimize swirl from piping arrangements upstream as well
as downstream.
A strainer is recommended to help ensure optimal flow
conditioning and protection for the measuring element. An
integral strainer is available as an option for 1-1/2 in. through 4 in.
meter sizes. The stainless steel strainer is built into the inlet end and
includes a removable cover plate to permit easy access for routine
cleaning. External strainers are available in sizes 2 in. through 12 in.
To simplify maintenance, the registers or encoders and measuring
elements can be removed without removing the meter housing.
Interchangeability of certain parts between meters also minimizes
spare parts inventory investment.
Meter Installation: The meter is designed for installations where
flow is in one direction only. Companion flanges for installation of
meters on various pipe types and sizes are available in cast iron or
NL bronze as an option. See the "Recordall Turbo Series Meters User
Manual" for specific instructions.

REGISTERS / ENCODERS
Standard—Sweep-Hand Registration
The standard register is a straight-reading, permanently sealed magnetic drive register. Dirt, moisture, tampering and lens fogging
problems are eliminated. The register has a six-odometer wheel totalization display, 360° test circle with center sweep hand, and flow finder
to detect leaks. Register gearing is made of self-lubricating engineered polymer, which minimizes friction and provides long life. The multiposition register simplifies meter installation and reading. The register capacity for the 1-1/2 in., 2 in., 3 in. and 4 in. meters is 100,000,000
gallons (10,000,000 ft3, 1,000,000 m3). The register capacity for the 6 in., 8 in., and 10 in. meters is 1,000,000,000 gallons (100,000,000 ft3,
10,000,000 m3). The high-flow register capacity for the 12 in. meter is 10,000,000,000 gallons (1,000,000,000 ft3, 10,000,000 m3).
