sine wave.
1. Pickup Coil
Types-Two Types of Pickup Coils are available:Standard: Variable Reluctance-Generating Pickups contain a permanent magnetand associated wire-wound coil.
The movement of the magnetic material of the
rotor blade across the coil tip procedures an AC signal within the coil winding.
Optional: Inductance-Generating pickups contain a wire-wound coil suitably
futedwithin a hermetically sealed housing. The movement of a permanent magnetembedded in a rotor produces an AC signal within the coil winding.

2.
Remove the instrument from the plastic packaging and remove the endfittingprotectors from the meter housing.
3.
Visually inspect the entire unit. Any visible damage should be reported to theOMEGA Customer Service Department immediately.

Replace the end fitting protectors and return the Flowmeter to its plasticpackaging. The unit may thus be stored indefmitely until installed.

INSTALLATION
A. GENERAL PROCEDURE
-
1. Meter Position
FLOWMETERS are normally calibrated in a horizontal attitude.Best con-elation of calibration, therefore, occurs when installed and operated inthis position. Meters may, however, be operated satisfactorily in any position.
2. Flow Direction
-
ALL PRECISION TURBINE FLOWMETERS are marked “IN”
and “OUT” and have an arrow to indicate the proper direction of the flow.Directional Flowmeters Excluded)
3. Meter Location A.
Relative
-
-
When it is expected that flow will be intermittent, the meter shouldnot be mounted at a low point in the piping system. Solids which settle orcongeal in the meter may affect the meter performances.
B.
Tolerance to Mechanical Vibration
-
Although the PRECISION TURBINEFLOWMETER is designed for rugged service, meter life may be increased bylocation in a minimum vibration area.
C.
Tolerance to Electrical Interference
-
In order to achieve optimum electricalsignal output from the Flowmeter, consideration must be given to its isolationfrom ambient electrical interference such as nearby motors, transformers, andsolenoids. (Section IV Maintenance Electrical)
4. System Pressure A. Minimum Operation Pressure
-
-
A minimum operating pressure should bemaintained to preclude a change in the calibration factor due to various typesof two phase phenomena.
The minimum operating pressure is a function of thevapor pressure of the fluid and the presence of other dissolved gases.Maintenance of the system back pressure serves to avoid cavitation of fluidseparation.

flowmeter engages the angled blades of the turbine rotor.of the rotor is a function of the fluid velocity and the blade angle engagement.present in the fluid ahead of the meter can change the effective angle of the engagement
and, therefore, cause a deviation from the supplied calibration (done under controlled conditions).Proper installation of the Flowmeter minimizes the harmful effects of fluidswirl.
2.
The Metering Location
following the flowmeter is known as the “THE METERING LOCATION”. Three typical
metering arrangements are described in the proceeding section of this manual. Each is
designed to minimize fluid swirl. A flow straightener is also shown and should be used
where installation does not allow the otherwise straight run of pipe upstream of the meter.
PLEASE NOTE:the minimum distances between piping components that are recommended to eliminateflow disturbances.
3. Meter-by-Pass a valved by-pass around the Flowmeter. However, the by-pass connections are not to beplaced within the recommended metering run.
