Operational Testing
INSTALLATION
Before the hydrometer is placed into service, you should perform the following tests to verify that
it is operating properly:
A. To test water flow and manual operation:
• Set 3-Way Selector to the “Open position”.
• Turn on the water flow to the hydrometer.
• Visually verify that water is flowing downstream from the hydrometer in appropriate
quantities.
• Verify that the leak detector, pointers and the totalizer are functioning properly.
• Check all hoses, connections, pilot valves, etc. for leakage and repair as necessary.
• Set 3-Way Selector to the “Close position”.
• Verify that the water flow downstream has stopped.
B. To test automatic and remote operation:
• Set 3-Way Selector to the “Auto” position.
• Turn on the water flow to hydrometer.
• Verify that the hydrometer output is correctly received by the controller or control center.
• Use the controller or control center to close the hydrometer. Verify that the water flow
downstream has stopped.
• Use the controller software to test operation of the hydrometer under various applications
and conditions such as pressure reducing, pressure sustaining and flow regulation.
• Your hydrometer is now ready for routine use.
