Vision Turbine Meters

Models BV1000 and BV2000 for Low Viscosity and Non-Aggressive Liquids

DESCRIPTION

The Vision Turbine Meters are Bisphenol A (BPA)-free meters that comply with the lead-free provisions of the Safe Drinking Water Act. The meters are designed for flow measurement of demineralized water, alkaline solutions, oils, salad oil, fuel/fuel consumption, beverages, water solutions, and coolants.

• The BV1000 flow range is 0.026…0.65 gpm (0.1…2.5 lpm)

• The BV2000 flow range 0.13…9.2 gpm (0.5…35 lpm)

The meter is especially suitable for washing machines, dishwashers, coffee machines, laser cooling plants, solar solutions, bakery machines, steam cooking machines in large kitchen plants, and CD or DVD cleaning.

INSTALLATION

Guidelines

• Check compatibility of liquid with the meter material.

• Install a 50 micron filter in front of the meter, if needed, to remove solid ingredients. Do not use on fluids with fibrous content or contamination.

• Install sensor into properly cleaned pipeline only.

• Check electrical connection according to the electrical wiring plan.

• Prior to installation, confirm system versus sensor specifications.

• Filter the system to 50 microns prior to the sensor, and minimize pulses/water hammer effects to prevent unit damage.

• Observe the arrow on the bottom of the unit for correct inlet and outlet port. Sensor can be mounted in any horizontal, vertical, or skewed orientation.

• Correctly installed, the sensor works maintenance-free.

Installing 1/4" and 3/8" NPT Units

1. Apply a small amount of thread sealant (Permatex “No More Leaks” ®) or Teon® tape to male threads.

OTE:N Make sure that the sealant does not enter into the

turbine and bearing internal area.

2. Hand tighten unit in place.

3. Turn an additional 1/4 turn to seal. If the seal leaks, turn an additional 1/4 turn or until the leak stops. Do not exceed one additional turn total beyond hand tightening.

Installing G 1/4" and G 3/8" Units

The G 1/4" and G 3/8" units mate with a flat face seal washer, similar to a garden hose arrangement. This arrangement requires no sealants; hand tightening should be sufficient for sealing.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

Output Signal

The output signal is a square wave signal where the frequency is proportional to the flow rate. An external, user-supplied pull-up resistor is required to ensure that the open collector will sink less than 20 mA. Applying a current greater than 20 mA may damage the sensor.

OPERATION GUIDELINES

• Do not exceed the specific indications.

• The Vision Series meter is a volumetric measuring device. Any air/gas in the liquid will be included in measured volume.

• Correctly installed, the sensor is maintenance free.
