NOTE: The following should be used in conjunction with the System 1010 Field Manual Diagnostic and Troubleshooting procedures.
2.12.1 CHECKLIST FOR 1010 STARTUP & PERFORMANCE
PROGRAMMING
Select appropriate meter type:
Use “Full Site Setup”
Create Site (or Recall Site).
Program accurate Pipe Diameter, Material & Wall Thickness (or choose from tables). Program accurate Liner Material and Thickness (if applicable); Ensure Liner is well bonded. Program correct Liquid Type (Estimated Vs), Consult Vs Database for liquids not on meter menu. Select Recommended Transducer, HP for Steel Only; Use first choice for Universals, if possible. Ensure Transducer Type & Size match programming.
Ensure transducer serial numbers match each other.
INSTALLATION/TRANSDUCER MOUNT GUIDELINES
Install Transducers (Reflect/Direct) as recommended by meter; Use assigned spacing positions! Use Reflect Mount whenever possible (Not permitted on plastic pipes).
Avoid placing transducers downstream of flow obstructions, pressure drops, elbows. Mount upstream of Orifice Plates, Turbines, Valves, “T’s”
Allow a minimum of 10 diameters of straight pipe upstream of Transducers; More following multi elbows.
If <10 diameters is available, mount Reflect within 2 diameters, in
DO NOT mount Transducers on top and/or bottom of horizontal pipe!
Ensure pipe is clean and smooth; remove external scale, loose or flaking paint. Use appropriate Coupling Compound for application (see charts below).
Avoid mounting on pipe seams.
Connect “UP” Cable to “Upstream Transducer” (closest to source of flow) and vice versa.
