Internal Parts Repla ement
All the internal parts of the meter lift out as a unit,
after the top has been unscrewed. The lens can then
be removed and the internal assembly lifted out. If
necessary, turn the meter upside down and tap one
end lightly on a countertop to loosen the internals.
The assembly can be separated by hand.

Warranty
ACS water meters are warranted to perform to AWWA
new meter accuracy standards, and to be free from defects
in materials and workmanship for a period of 12 months
from date of shipment. If a meter does not perform as
warranted, Accent Control Systems will repair it free of
charge subject to the terms of this warranty.

Multi-jet Dry Type Plasti Body
Water Meters with Conta t Output
ACS-NM-062R-150R
General Information
ACS Series meters use the internationally-accepted
multi-jet principle. A gear train drives the register
totalizer dials. For pulse output, one of the pointers is
replaced by a magnet arm, which is detected by a reed
switch sensor attached to the outside of the lens. The
reed switch provides dry contact closure and does not
require power.
A ura y Curve
Pulse Output
Reed switch sensors respond to a magnet that rotates
on the face of the meter under the lens. The sensor
turns on and off once each time the magnet passes
under it. Sensors are designed for electronic control
loads, and should not be used to switch power loads
or line voltages. See maximum current and voltage
ratings, under specifications.
Inlet Strainer
Clean the strainer yearly, or as required, depending on
water condition. ull out the strainer or back-flush the
meter to loosen trapped particulates.
Calibration
New meters are factory-tested to meet the AWWA
C-708 Multi-Jet Meter accuracy specification.

Suggested Meter Installation
• Thoroughly flush the service line upstream of the
meter to remove dirt and debris.
• Set the meter inline. Water meters are recommended
to be installed horizontally with the register facing
upwards.
• Make sure the water flow follows the arrow cast on
the meter body.
• Slowly open any upstream valves to prevent damage
to the meter.

ring. With fingers, lift the magnet pointer off its shaft and
remove the plain pointer from the target dial. Reverse their
positions and press them firmly into place. Securely seat the
sealing ring and then replace the lens, matching the tab on the
lens to the notch on the meter so as to align the sensor with
the magnetic pointer dial. Thread the meter top on and tighten.
Changing Pulse Rates
The pulse rate is determined by the dial on which the magnet
pointer is located. To move the magnet pointer, remove
meter top and lens, taking care not to lose the sealing
