Compound Series Meters
Q. Can the Compound Series meter be installed in a vertical position?
A. No, the compound series meter must be installed in a horizontal and upright position to operate properly.
Q. Is the high flow register on a Compound Series meter located on the inlet or the outlet side of the meter?
A. The high flow register is located on the inlet side of the meter.
Q. Are the high flow and low flow registers interchangeable on a compound series meter?
A. The registers will physically interchange, however they will not register accurately.
Q. If I accidentally interchange the high and low flow registers, is there a way to calculate the actual usage through the meter?
A. Yes, there is a conversion factor chart available that can be used to calculate actual usage.
Q. I want to replace a 2” Recordall® Compound meter with a new 2” Recordall Compound Series meter, however the laying lengths are different. How is this accomplished?
A. An optional spacer adapter is available for the 2” Recordall Compound Series meter to accommodate the difference in laying lengths.
Q. What is the summator/splitter and how is it used?
A. The summator/splitter will sum the output from two RTR®s and provide a totalized signal for Badger® AMR products. When used in conjunction with a splitter harness the totalized output can be used for a Badger AMR product and a second device such as a computer used for monitoring water usage.
Q. I have a new Compound series meter with two RTRs. I would like to monitor the high and low flow RTRs using two different AMR modules. Do I need a summator/splitter?
A. No, to monitor the high and low flow RTRs you would connect the output from each of the two RTRs directly to two different AMR modules.
Q. What is the crossover accuracy for compound series meters?
A. Crossover accuracy for compound series meters is the accuracy of the meter when it transitions from low flow to high flow and vice versa.
