Elster V100, V110, V200 Installation Instructions Manual

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

The Kent Range of Domestic Meters

V100, V110 & V200

Volumetric in-line cold water meters

All Elster water meters are manufactured and tested in
accordance with either BS5728 or BSEN14154 according to
the appropriate type approval and comply with the relevant
UK Weights and Measures regulations. The meters are
suitable for cold potable water up to a temperature of 30ºC
and working pressure of 16 bar (10 bar only for V110).

If the meter has been provided with an encoded register,
please refer to the appropriate additional instructions:

1. Electronic Meter Reading (EMR) Installation Instructions
ref. 8593D9791.

2. Electronic Meter Reading (InVISION EMR) Installation Instructions

ref. 8505A2750.

The meter must be fully flooded with clean cold water at all times.
No air or water/air mixtures should be allowed
to flow through the meter, otherwise errors
and damage may result.

Handling

Water meters are accurate measuring devices and although of robust
construction should be treated with due care. The meters should
remain within their protective packaging until the point of installation.

Storage

Storage temperatures should remain within a range of 5 to 10ºC,
avoiding direct sunlight and heat.

Installation

The meter may be connected to horizontal, vertical or inclined pipes.
The installation should comply with BS5728 or BSEN14154, according to
the appropriate meter type approval and respect all relevant local bye­laws. Only approved sealing materials should be used for making pipe
connections. The meter should be installed in a position to ensure it is
fully flooded with clean cold water at all times, in a frost protected area.
The meter should be accessible for ease of reading and should not be
subjected to installation induced stresses or vibration. Failure to do so
may result in meter damage and leakage occurring.

Earthing caution:

National legislation and local rules in force concerning the use of water
pipes for earthing shall always be consulted and adhered to. Where
the meter installation forms part of the electrical earthing, in order to
minimise the risk to operational staff, there shall be a permanent shunt
for the water meter and its associated fittings.

To enable the meter to be removed it is recommended valves be fitted
upstream and downstream of the meter, together with a drain cock
between the meter and downstream valve.

Meter Installation Instructions

1. Prior to installation of the meter, new or existing inlet and outlet

pipework must be thoroughly flushed free of foreign material,
using a make-up piece of pipe where the meter is to be fitted.

2. Install the meter with the flow direction arrow pointing in the

direction of flow.

3. Tighten all meter couplings.

Start-up procedure

Commissioning:

The meter’s measuring device may be damaged if subjected to full flow
conditions prior to expelling air from the pipeline.

4. With the downstream valve open, slowly open upstream valve,

until all air is expelled from the meter. Fully open the upstream
valve once all the air has been expelled.

5. Observe that the register is responding to water throughput.

6. Close downstream outlet, (meter register should stop).

7. Check all connections for leaks.

Installation Leakage

If the connections and fittings show signs of leakage, carry out start-up
procedure again.

How to read your meter

Mechanical register:

The reading is from left to right.

Black numbers on white rollers denote cubic metres. White numbers
on red rollers (or white numbers on black rollers, as is the case with
InVISION) denote litres. (1000 Litres = 1 Cubic Metre).
