5.0 MAINTENANCE

5.1 General

Except for an occasional performance verification check, there is no required routine maintenance for
the Series 3000 Magnetic Flowmeter. For practical reasons it is suggested that the meter body not be
disassembled. If disassembled, complete waterproof sealing is required for satisfactory operation
and is best done at the factory. Replacement of faulty magnet drive coils and electrode replacement
is a factory operation. Factory calibration after this type of repair is the only way to guarantee meter
accuracy.
The company offers a Repair/Exchange Program to facilitate replacement of a defective meter or
Converter. If the equipment is beyond the warranty limit, under this program a fixed price will be
charged for replacement of defective equipment, with appropriate credit issued when the repairable
unit is received by the factory (charges prepaid). The equipment available under this program is as
follows:
• the complete meter with integrally mounted Signal Converter
• the meter and associated primary board; that is, the hydraulic portion without the
Signal Converter
• the Signal Converter
All Flowmeters and/or Signal Converters being returned to the factory for
repair must be free of any hazardous materials (acids, alkalis, solvents,
etc.). A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for all process liquids must
accompany returned equipment. Contact the factory for authorization
Operation and maintenance procedures for the Signal Converter are pro-
vided in the instruction manual supplied with the Signal Converter.
When communicating with the company in regard to replacement of a complete meter (with integrally
mounted Converter), the meter body, or the Signal Converter, it is important to refer to the complete
instrument serial number to assure that the correct replacement will be supplied. This information is
provided on the manufacturing specification sheet supplied with the Magnetic Flowmeter, and on the
instrument data tag.
