Unpacking &
Inspection

Locate the packing slip shipped with your unit, this will list all the items sent with the shipment.
Compare packing slip to order acknowledgement you received previously and verify that all items
correspond.

If all items correspond, examine the shipping containers for unusual denting and/or damage. If
shipping containers are in good condition, begin unpacking. Do a general examination of each
part as it is removed from its packaging, checking for any obvious signs of physical damage.

If there is no apparent damage to the items you may begin the installation procedure in SECTION 3,
although we recommend that you familiarize yourself with S
Considerations prior to going to S

If any item shows damage due to shipment call the Customer Service Department immediately, at
[phone] you will then be advised of the measures to take.

If you find items are missing from your shipment, contact the Sparling Customer Service Depart­ment immediately, at [phone]. They will verify the order and trace any missing item for you.

ECTION 2: Application/Installation

1.2 Storage

This equipment should be stored in a clean, dry environment. Do not store outside in an
unprotected area. Observe the storage temperature requirements.

1.3

Operation

The Model's FM104 and FM184 feature the FT194-II battery pow­ered electronic rate/totalizer which senses the rotation of the pro­peller by means of a magnetic pickup sensor located in the gear­box. The rate/totalizer and pickup are completely isolated from the
flow stream.

Utilizing the simple principle of the screw propeller, the Sparling
FM104/FM184 registers total flow, much as an odometer registers
auto mileage. The electronic rate/totalizer converts the revolutions
of the propeller to cubic feet, gallons or other standard engineering
volumetric units. The rotation of the propeller also affords a basis
for indicating and recording gallons per minute or other rates.

The LCD digital display is activated by a photoelectric cell. When

the cover of the bonnet is opened, the display is activated.

The display will go into "sleep mode" after a preprogrammed

time interval. Low light conditions may require the use of a

flashlight to activate and read the display.

Pre­Installation

2.1 Process Fluid

The FM104 and FM184 MainLine Electronic Propeller Meters are designed to operate with relatively clean
process water. The percentage of solids should not exceed 0.5%. While the propeller shape is designed to shed
debris and the propeller material is durable and somewhat pliable, large solid objects in the flowing stream
could damage or become entangled in the propeller, causing inaccuracy or malfunction. These meterheads will
function despite the presence of small abrasive particles (such as sand) but the life of the propeller shaft
bearings may be reduced.

2.2 Handling Pr ecautions

Although this device is ruggedly constructed, it is a precise measuring instrument and can be damaged
by rough handling or if dropped. If the meterhead is not shipped already installed into a flow tube, care
should be taken to avoid damaging the propeller during installation.

3.1 Site Selection Criteria

3.0

Installation

Choose a location that
assures a full pipe of water
flowing at or above the
minimum velocity for the
meter. There should not be
any enlargements, diffusers
or obstructions upstream
that would produce a jet or
spiraling flow into the meter.
Ten diameters of straight
pipe upstream and 1
diameter downstream are
recommended to avoid
errors caused by skewed
velocity profiles. See figure

3.1.

A jet caused by a partially
opened valve, a centrifugal
pump, or a pipe enlarge­ment upstream from the
meter can cause inaccu­rate registration.

Often such disturbances
can be avoided by locating
the meter on the suction
side of the pump. The
meter will register just as
efficiently on a vertical or
slanting pipe as on a
horizontal line. The straight­ening vanes eliminate cork-screw effects in the flow profile of water. Flow conditioners may be required in
installations where less than optimum conditions exist. See Figure 3.1.

Installation

cont'd.

Meterheads can be mounted into a round process line using 1)
a Sparling Model MT1 In-Line Flow Tube or 2) a Sparling Model
MS1 Welding Saddle.

3.2.1 Meterhead with MT1 In-Line Flow Tube (2" - 36")

a. Be sure to read Section 3.1 Site Selection Criteria

prior to installing your meter.

b. Install the meter tube in the line just as though it were

a short length of pipe.

c. The propeller must face the on-coming flow. Arrows

on the meter tube and cover plate will point in the
direction of the flow.

3.2.2 Meterhead with MS1 Welding Saddle (6" - 72")

a. For welding 6"-14" saddles to steel or wrought-iron

pipe, place the saddle on the pipe and scribe a
line INSIDE the saddle.

b. Cut or burn a full opening in the pipe so there will be

no projections of the pipe beyond the straight inside
edge of the saddle. Smooth the pipe around the
opening to make a good surface for the saddle.

c. Cast steel saddles (sizes 6" - 14") should be tacked

first, then welded in place, taking care not to over­heat any part of the saddle.

Figure 3.2

Figure 3.3

Figure 3.4

d. Fabricated steel saddles (sizes 16" - 72"):

(i) Place riser on pipe (Fig. 3.2). Scribe around

outside of riser as shown. Cut hole.

(ii) Insert riser into the hole in skirt plate (Fig. 3.3), do

not weld at this point. Pull skirt plate up against
the flange of riser.

(iii)Insert riser into cut-out in pipe. Make sure

bottom edge of riser is flush with I.D. of the
pipe and holes in the flange are straddling the
center line of pipe. Weld riser to inside pipe as
shown.

(iv)Lower skirt plate down onto pipe. Position to

achieve conformity with O.D. of pipe. Weld in a
continuous bead at point "A" and "B".

e. If straightening vanes are required, go

to section 3.2.3. If not, skip to section 3.3

3.2.3 Install straightening vanes (if required)
as shown on Figure 3.5.

Three straightening vanes are required.
Vanes should be equally spaced radially and
parallel with the longitudinal axis of the pipe (1)

Bolting Vanes

a. For easy vane installation, place each vane in its equivalent position on the outside of the pipe (2) and

mark the location for bolt holes.

b. Drill holes. Install vanes inside the pipe. Place lead washer and then steel washer on the bolt on

outside of pipe and tighten nuts securely (3a).

Welding Vanes

a. Space vanes equally at 120° radially and loc ate longitudina ll y as shown.
b. (3b) Secure vanes with a continuous bead weld around both ends and with intermittant staggered

bead welds along the vane.

Note: Installations with both forward and reverse
flows* may require additional vanes on the
downstream side of the meter. Install in the same
manner, 4" from the downstream saddle opening.

*Option requiring dual remote mounted totalizers.

3. 3 Mounting the Meterhead

3.3.1 Tube mounted meters (2" - 36")

2"-4" - Not required - meterheads are shipped with meterhead mounted in place.
6" -36" - Follow direc tio ns per Section 3. 3.2 following.

3.3.2 Saddle meters (6" - 72")

a. Place gasket on the face of the saddle

b. 6" - 8" Met ers

Lower propeller into pipe and slide it upstream to position for capscrews and secure the
coverplate.

c. 10" - 72" Meters

Hold meterhead over opening with propeller toward you and blades lengthwise with the
pipe.
Tilt coverplate toward you.
Lower until one blade lies horizontally on the end of the saddle.
Ease the propeller down through the saddle with a "rolling" motion.
Turn the headplate so that the propeller faces upstream.
Th e arrow on the plate points in t he d irection of the flow. Tighten cap screws evenly (6"-14" sizes)

Flow Rates &
Dimensions

Maximum flow ranges can be safely exceeded by 50% when used intermittently (10-15% of the time). Your Sparling
meter utilizes specially designed propellers and bearings matched to your flow range to insure long life.

For proper configuration of meter construction anticipated flow ranges, including minimum and
normal flow rates expected, should always be specified on application sheets acocmpanying your
order.

5.1 Preventative Maintenance — Annual Inspection of Meterhead

5.0

Meter
Maintenance

Preventative maintenance of the FM104 and FM184 is limited to annual inspection of the propeller shaft bear­ings, propeller, straightening vanes and tube condition.

5.1.1 Remove Meterhead

Depressurize the line, remove the cap screws and slide the meterhead in the downstream direction.
Lift the downstream end of the coverplate and withdraw the meter from the line. It may be necessary
to maneuver the meter so that one blade tip can be lifted through the opening, allowing clearance for
the remaining blades.

5.1.2 Inspect vanes for damage and tubes and vanes for foreign matter

Examine the pipe for any foreign matter that may have accumulated. Look at the upstream ends of
the straightening vanes and remove accumulated matter. See if the vanes have been damaged ­straighten any bends.

5.1.3 Inspect Propeller & Bearings

a. See that the propeller blades are smooth and clean.

b. Spin the propeller with your fingers (a). The propeller
should spin freely without binding and crunching noises.
The register should advance properly.

c. Next, pull on the propeller (b). The propeller should
have a little freedom of movement (about 1/64") due to the
designed play in the bearings which allows grit to pass
through. If movement is over 1/64" but under 1/32" adjust
per 5.1.4 Adjust Bearings.

a.

b.

d. Finally, hold the propeller with your fingers and rock it
from side to side (c). There should be minimal movement
when rocking the propeller, about 1/64".

If you exp erience:
 binding or crunching when spinning the propeller

 the propeller has excessive play

it could signal excess bearing wear or failure. Go to Section

5.2 Disassembly and Repair

If the register does not advance properly, go to Section 5.2
Disassembly and Repair.

Check the gasket before replacing the meterhead. Replace it
if it is damaged. Finally, if everything checks out as it should,
return meter to line, bolt in place and repressurize the line.

5.1.4 Adjust Bearings

The front propeller shaft bearing is the key to the life of the meter. If it is kept in good condition the
other parts will last almost indefinitely.

Adjust the thrust screw (d) on the back of the propeller shaft plug to achieve 1/64" end play.
Screw the thrust screw until it comes in contact with the end of the propeller shaft, then back off
the thrust screw 1/4 turn and tighten the locknut and re-check the end play.

Spin the propeller to ensure that it spins freely and that the register advances properly. No further
maintenance is required and the meter may be reinstalled. If you found a problem, proceed to 5.2
Disassembly & Repair.

5.2.2 Remove the propeller shaft plug assembly and
drive the propeller shaft out the rear of the gear
box by tapping at the end of the propeller shaft
with a rubber mallet or a piece of wood to pro­tect the shaft (b). While removing you may have
to rotate the shaft to avoid damaging the bear­ing retaining ring - do not force.

5.2.3 G rip the propeller shaft be tw een the mag­nets and the front bearing retaining ring. Re­move the rear bearing nut, rear bearing, rear
bearing washer and the front bearing retaining
ring (c). Inspect the propeller shaft for
straightness, carefully examining magnet discs
for cracks, looseness or missing discs. If faulty,
a new propeller shaft must be installed.

5.2.4 Using a wooden dowel, gently tap out the front
bearing from the gear box (d).

5.2.5 Check both bearings for wear and excessive
play. Replace worn out bearings.

5.3.2 Install the rear bearing washer, rear bearing and the bearing retainer nut on the propeller shaft. Tighten the
nut snugly, but do not over-tighten. Coat bearing with Lubriplate.

5.3.3 Install the front bearing retainer on the propeller shaft. The retainer should be placed in the front slot for
ball bearings or in the rear slot for rubber bearings. Note: there is a rou nde d side and a sh arp side to the
front bearing retaining ring. Be sure to put t he r ounded side to wa rd t he propeller.

5.3.4 Insert the propeller shaft assembly into the rear of the gearbox. Rotate the shaft if necessary to avoid
damaging the front bearing retaining ring. Reinstall the propeller shaft thrust plug assembly and tighten
firmly.

5.3.5 Install the propeller shaft key, the propeller, and the propeller washer and nut. Use the new propeller nut
furnished with the front bearing. Tighten the nut snugly.

5.3.6 Check the propeller shaft end play. Adjust the thrust screw on the back of the propeller shaft plug to
achieve 1/64" end play. Screw the thrust screw until it comes in contact with the end of the propeller shaft,
back of thrust screw 1/4 turn and tighten the lock nut and recheck the end play.

5.3.7 Spin the propeller and check for free movememt and that the register advances properly. Binding
bearings may be freed by alternate light taps to the rear of the gearbox and the front of the propeller shaft
to properly seat the bearings. Recheck propeller shaft end play.

b. Full Scale affects the 4-20mA loop current only. At full scale of the rate, the loop current will be

20mA. A zero flow will make it 4mA.

8.2.4 Main Menu  Total (Totalizer)

a. The Total menu allows access to Units, Registration and the Totalizer Reset menu. Predefined

units are: US Gallons (Gal), Acre-Feet (A-ft), Imperial Gallons (IGal), Liters (Ltr),
Cubic meters (M3), Cubic feet (Ft3), Acre-inches (A-in). If none of the predefined
units match your application, set the units to User. This allows you to define the unit name and
conversion factor.

b. The registration value is used to divide the internal (and external) totalizer by the required

number of engineering units. It is normally set to an even number like 0.1, 1, 10, etc. Example:
If set to 10, the internal totalizer will increment by one count every 10 units (where units can be
any totalizer specified unit). At the same time, a pulse will be driven to the external pulse output.

Reset sub-menu: This sub section of the Totalizer menu (if available) let the user Reset,

lockout or change the password for the totalizer.

Reset: Makes the value of the totalizer zero.
Change password: Changes the password for this sub-menu
Lockout: It disables this sub-menu. Warning: lockout is final!

8.2.5 Main Menu  Display

The Display menu allows access to Timeout, Update, Contrast and On level.

Timeout: Sets the number of seconds the display will stay on if the lid is not closed.
Update: The display rate and totalizer values will be updated according to this value.
Contrast: Sets how dark or light the display looks.
On level: Sets the brightness of the light required to turn on the display after the lid is open.

8.2.6 Main Menu  Output

a. The Output menu allows access to Update, 4-20mA adjustment.

Update: Sets how much of the new flow value is used to update the outputs. Use a smaller value to slow
the tracking of the output to the display rate indicator.

b. 4-20mA calibration - The 4 and 20mA are calibrated at the factory. There should be no need for

re-calibration under normal operating conditions but due to tolerances in equipment, the user
may want to fine tune the output to its own equipment.

This section is only available if the unit is loop powered. The actual value have no direct
relevance to the output. It is only a visual indication of how much the output can be changed.
Each 4 and 20mA allow a range of ± 75 steps. The value is saved in non-volatile memory once
entered.
