GPI G Serie Manual Del Propietário página 5

Notice that the direction of flow is
displayed on the body of the turbine
flowmeter. This is important when in-
stalling the rotor and also denotes the
direction in which the turbine flowmeter
was calibrated.
NOTE: GPI rotors are tapered on
one end (except ½" and ¾"). The
tapered end should be installed
facing the inlet side. See Figure 1.
The ½" and ¾" rotors are marked
with a point on the hub and should
be installed with the marked side of
the rotor hub facing the inlet side.
1. Install a support on the inlet side
(where the flow starts), placing a
vane between the notches in the
turbine flowmeter body. Install a
retaining ring – this will keep the
support in place.
2. Place the rotor with the shaft in the
support that has not been installed.
Hold the turbine flowmeter body
with the open end down and slide
the rotor and support into the turbine
flowmeter body. Make sure the vane
is placed between the notches.

3. Once the support is in place, install
the retaining ring.
4. Blow into the turbine flowmeter to
ensure the rotor spins freely.
NOTE: Installation of the replacement
kit is complete and the turbine
flowmeter can be reinstalled into
the process line.
5. Install the magnetic pickup. HAND
TIGHTEN ONLY.
NOTE: Be sure to use the proper
magnetic pickup, cable and con-
nector for the application.
6. Enter the new K-factor supplied
with the replacement kit into the
electronic readout device. (Refer
to the calibration report.)
NOTE: All internal replacement kits
are factory calibrated and are sup-
plied with a five point calibration
certificate.
