5. Meter installation
Read the following information and have a thorough understanding before
proceeding with meter installation. Only qualified personnel should perform meter
installation.
• Install a type 60 mesh strainer or Y or basket as close to the inlet side of the meter as
possible. Strainers prevent dirt and other fluid contaminants from impeding meter
performance. Strainers require periodic cleaning, as clogged strainers also impede
meter performance. Contact your local representative for specific information, per
your specific application.
Figure 1: Meter installation
• Turn off any associated pumps to reduce line pressure and slowly fill the line and
meter with fluid before restarting pumps. Doing so reduces the possibility of meter
damage caused by errant air pressures in the line and meter.
• Make sure all pipe conforms to the same pressure output rating as the pump.
• Make sure to apply thread sealant to all pipe threads.
• Install the meter along the meter shafts in a horizontal plane (see figure 1).
• Check for and repair leaks upon initialization of fluid flow.
6. Meter operation
Fluid enters the inlet port and then passes through the metering chamber. Inside the
chamber, fluid forces the internal gears to rotate before exiting through the outlet port.
Each rotation of the gears displaces a specific volume of fluid. As the gears rotate, a
magnet on each end of the gear pass a reed switch in the top-mounted register's circuit
board. The reed switches send pulses to the microprocessor in the register to change
the LED display segments.

Output pulse length
(for models ILR 710 only)
Indicated by a “P” on the left hand side of the display, this screen allows the selection of
the low duration of the output pulse.
• “0” for zero milliseconds (Pulse Output is disabled)
• “2” for 2 milliseconds

• “20” for 20 milliseconds
• “40” for 40 milliseconds
• “100” for 100 milliseconds
To advance to the next programming screen, hold the TOTAL button.
About Output Pulse Length: The pulse rate duration should take into account the "Pulse
Rate Out" and maximum meter flow rate, to prevent an output pulse duration greater than
the required time between pulses. The Output Pulse Length should be set to less than the
value of “t.”
Per the equation:
Maximum meter flow rate (in GPM or l/m)
t = ----------------------------------------------------------------- x 1000
60X output pulse rate
where t = the required pulse rate in milliseconds.
The output pulse rate = the programmed parameter (default = 1.00 PPL/PPG)
The maximum meter flow rate = the maximum flow rate of the meter for the application.
9.1 Pulse rate out
(for model ILR 710 only)
Indicated by an “o” on the left hand side of the display, this screen allows selection of
the of pulses output per liter or per gallon depending on unit of measure (0.01
PPL/PPG to 100 PPL/PPG).
The meter pulse rate is entered in pulses per liter if the selected unit of measure is
liters. The meter pulse rate is entered in pulses per gallon if the selected unit of
measure is gallons, quarts or pints.
