1. Introduction
The Hose-End meter (standard model) 24700 is used to measure the volume of fluid filled in an object. The meter is based on the
"oval-gear" Principe. It uses permanent magnets and REED-switches as signal pickup.
The integrated valve is pressure balanced to enable a smooth flow control almost independent of fluid pressure.
It is manufactured with small tolerances to assure a high degree of accuracy over a wide range of flow and viscosity.
To conserve battery the meter goes into sleep mode after 1 minute of inactivity. All data is stored so if it is waken up again it
continues from where it was.
2. Mechanical installation
The meter is delivered in an environmental adapted paper box together with additional parts according to the demand.
The inlet of the meter is female G1/2 with an O-ring groove to suit the Alentec&Orion AB original line of swivels. Use liquid
sealant if additional sealant is needed.
The outlet of the meter is male G1/2 with inside 60° cone to suit the Alentec&Orion AB line of original outlet equipment or other
standard hydraulic 60° cone adapters. Use liquid sealant if additional sealant is needed.
Note!
–Do not use Teflon tape or other solid thread sealants and do not use excessive torque for the
fittings!
3. Strainer
To maintain a high grade of accuracy, keep the valve closing properly and minimise wear solid contaminations has to be kept
away. For this purpose the 24700-meter is equipped with an efficient strainer cup in the flow inlet. This strainer should be
checked regularly and cleaned when needed. To clean it remove the inlet swivel and the pull out the strainer.
4. Batteries
2 pieces of AAA 1,5 batteries is used as power source. They are placed in a battery holder and secured by holder it self and a
"rubber band" for extra security. The battery holder is contained in the rear part of the meter handle and secured in place by
"foam strips". To get access to the battery holder loosen the screw at the lower-back end of the control handle and fold the handle
out.
How to use
