Troubleshooting
PROBLEM 1
Meter lockup- rotors to do not turn.
PROBABLE CAUSE
Strainer basket rupture possibly due to improper
maintenance of the strainer basket. If this occurred
in a new system, the system may have been
improperly flushed.
SOLUTION
Replace the strainer basket and follow proper strainer
maintenance procedures. New systems should be
flushed. In all systems, the meter chamber will
require cleaning and may require replacement of
parts. Refer to your meter Installation, Operation and
Maintenance Manual for meter maintenance
procedures or contact your full service distributor.
PROBABLE CAUSE
Debris entered the metering chamber possibly due
to improper cleaning during strainer maintenance,
i.e., dirt dislodged into the strainer housing when the
basket was removed for cleaning.
SOLUTION
Properly clean the strainer housing as outlined in the
“Maintenance” section of this manual. The meter
chamber will require cleaning and may require
replacement of parts. Refer to your meter Installation,
Operation and Maintenance Manual for meter
maintenance procedures or contact your full service
distributor.
PROBABLE CAUSE
Denting or distortion of the strainer basket which
opened gaps and allowed foreign particles to pass
through to the meter chamber. This is usually caused
by improper handling of the strainer basket during
maintenance.
SOLUTION
Replace the strainer basket and follow proper strainer
maintenance procedures. The meter chamber will
require cleaning and may require replacement of
parts. Refer to your meter Installation, Operation and
Maintenance Manual for meter maintenance
procedures or contact your full service distributor.
PROBLEM 2
Meter inspection due to meter inaccuracy revealed
scoring of the meter chamber.
PROBABLE CAUSE
See the probable causes for Problem 1.
SOLUTION
See the solutions for Problem 1. However, if
inspection does not reveal a ruptured strainer basket
and it is known that proper maintenance cleaning
procedures were followed, contact your full service
distributor.
