INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the System 1010GN/GDN Gas flowmeter. Intended for dedicated
applications, this versatile transit-time flowmeter is easy to set up and operate. The 1010
flowmeter represents the state-of-the-art in computerized instrumentation. We are confident
that in a very short time you will appreciate its unrivaled performance and features.
This section presents an example of how to install the System 1010GN Gas flowmeter with a
minimum of effort. It explains how to make basic connections to and from the flow computer and
how to use the Installation Menu to set-up the system for transit-time operation. This manual
covers System 1010 Single Channel, Dual Channel/Dual Path and Custody Transfer flowmeter types in NEMA-4 and NEMA-7 wall mount enclosures.
CAUTION: Please review the safety considerations below before proceeding.
1.1
IMPORTANT SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
The System 1010GN Gas flowmeter is electrical equipment that operates from either an external DC or AC power source. Please observe all the electric safety codes, etc., that apply to
your application. We recommend that only experienced personnel with knowledge of local
electrical codes and operating safety procedures of the facility perform the installation and
wiring. Since regulations vary by geographic location, industry, etc., it is solely the user’s
responsibility to operate this equipment safely.
Controlotron cannot accept responsibility for any damage that may occur due to failure to
observe any local safety rules. If this equipment is used for a hazardous application (high line
pressure, hostile liquid characteristics, perilous atmosphere, etc.), the end-user must ensure
that only properly trained personnel are involved in the installation and operation.
1.2
FLOWMETER INSTALLATION STEPS
The following are typical steps necessary to complete a stand-alone installation procedure.
NOTE: For flowmeters with factory-installed parameters, the flowmeter should be mated
with the designated gas spool.
Refer to the Installation/Outline drawings in Appendix B before beginning installation.
•
Install gas spool into pipe line (see Section 2).
•
Determine the spool parameters and gas data (viscosity, specific heat ratio, base pressure
and temperature, etc.).
•
Mount the flow computer at the selected location and attach transducer and I/O cables.
•
Access the Installation Menu and create a site (paragraph 3.4).
•
Enter gas parameters (paragraph 4.2).
•
Complete transducer Installation Menu operation (paragraph 4.3).
