Installers must observe certain specific requirements when installing wired remote-reading water meters. What are these requirements?
1. Before installation, the pipeline must be thoroughly cleaned to remove any debris that could damage the water meter.
2. As this is a high-value, precision instrument, handle it with care; do not pull forcefully on the sensor wiring. Keep the meter away from high-temperature areas or heat sources to prevent the battery from catching fire or exploding, which could lead to safety incidents.
3. Careful attention must be paid to the installation location. Avoid installing the meter at the highest point of the pipeline or near elbows, where turbulent eddies can easily form. Also, avoid installation near water pump equipment, as pulsating flow can interfere with the meter's normal operation.
4. The connecting pipes upstream and downstream of the meter should match the meter's nominal diameter; avoid any reduction in pipe diameter.
5. Installation must strictly follow the direction indicated by the arrow on the meter body; the flow direction must not be reversed.
6. To ensure future measurement accuracy, straight pipe sections must be reserved during installation: a length equivalent to 10 times the pipe diameter upstream of the meter and 5 times the pipe diameter downstream.
7. It is recommended to install a filter and a valve matching the pipe diameter upstream of the meter to facilitate future inspection and maintenance.
This concludes the overview of specific installation requirements for wired remote-reading water meters. As these meters require precise installation techniques, it is strongly advised not to attempt installation yourself; instead, hire professional installers to ensure the job is done correctly and safely.
