DANIEL™ SERIES 1500 TURBINE METER OCT 2013
OPERATION 4-1
4.0 OPERATION
4.1 General
This section contains the operating procedures for the Series 1500 Turbine Flowmeter. Reference
Section 3-4 for general flow considerations that may effect meter performance. The Series 1500
Turbine Meter is a volumetric flow measuring and transmitting device that produces an output signal
proportional to the rate-of-flow of the liquid being measured. The primary output is a single or dual
high resolution signal that is amplified and shaped by an integral amplifier mounted within an
explosion proof housing. This wave pulse can be fed directly to remote totalizing counters, digital
readout devices or control instrumentation.
4.2 Pre-start Checks
1. Inspect all electrical connections to assure compliance to electrical codes and safety
regulations.
2. All bolts used to secure the meter in line should be inspected to assure that proper mounting
procedures have been followed and that flange connections are leak free.
3. Evaluate the system setup to assure that all components are in the proper sequence for
accurate product measurement: isolation valve, strainer, flow straightener, meter,
downstream section, control valve, etc.
4. Ensure that the supply voltage to the preamp is within the range of 10-30 VDC.
