13 140029SECTION SPECIFICATIONS FOR 2 E-SERIES COLD WATER ULTRASONIC METERS BASE BID 1.01 SCOPE A. This specification covers E-Series Cold Water Ultrasonic Meters in sizes 2, and the materials and workmanship employed in their fabrication. The meter must utilize ultrasonic measurement technology and have no moving parts within the meter METER DESCRIPTION A. The basis for measurement is the use of ultrasonic signals sent consecutively in forward and reverse directions of flow. Velocity is determined by measuring the time difference between the measurement in the forward and reverse direction. Flow totalization can then be calculated from the measured flow velocity using water temperature and pipe diameter. The meter is all electronic with totally potted circuitry, display and battery. There are no moving parts to wear or replace and meter and register are sealed, non-removable and protected from tampering AFFIDAVIT OF COMPLIANCE A. The purchaser may require, in their supplemental specifications, an affidavit from the manufacturer or vendor that the meters furnished under the purchaser's order comply with all applicable requirements of this specification. Failure to meet any part of the specification shall be sufficient cause for rejection SIZE, CAPACITY, AND LENGTH A. Along with the operating and physical characteristics, the nominal size, capacity ratings, related pressure loss limits, and length of the meters are those shown in Table 1 and 2. Meters supplied under this specification shall operate without leakage or damage at a working pressure of 175 psi METERING TUBE A. The housing shall be designed so that at a working pressure of 175 psi, any distortion will not affect the accuracy of the meter. Metering tube shall not be repaired in any manner. The flow direction and meter size shall also be cast in the meter tube and the inlet and outlet shall have a common axis METERING INSERT A. The ultrasonic metering insert shall be self-contained within the meter flow tube, seated, and not removable. The insert shall be secured to the main case, providing a method of minimizing turbulence and cleaning the reflectors, so that the accuracy of the meter will not be affected by any distortions of the case when operating at a pressure of 175 psi. The Water Meter Material Contract 2 E-Series Meter DWSRF # FS

14 metering insert shall be made of engineered thermoplastic and stainless steel and the ultrasonic transducers shall be wetted components that extend through the meter tube and shall have a surface of stainless steel ELECTRONIC METER AND REGISTER A. The electronic circuit shall be micro-processor based and include a non-replaceable battery, and non-volatile memory capable of storing all programmable data and accumulated data. The circuit shall control the ultrasonic transducers. No field programming or calibration shall be necessary. The entire meter circuit and related components shall be fully potted and sealed from water intrusion. No components shall require service or replacement over the life of the meter. For reliability, the use of inductive coil technology shall not be permitted with an electronic residential meter REGISTER BOXES A. The name or logo of the manufacturer shall be permanently molded and the serial number shall be imprinted on the lid of the register box. The lid and shroud components shall overlap to protect the lens. Register box enclosures and lids shall be made of engineering thermoplastic or other suitable synthetic polymer REGISTER/DISPLAY A. The Register shall be encased in an integral non-corrosive plastic housing, with the electronics, display, and battery completely potted within. It must be permanently epoxy sealed to provide moisture resistance to flooded pit or submerged conditions. The permanent seal between the lens and non-corrosive plastic housing shall utilize an adhesive seal without the use of gaskets. B. The Register shall be an integral part of the meter assembly. The register must be available as either factory pre-wired to an endpoint or factory pre-wired to an inline connector that can be used to connect to an endpoint. C. The Register shall consist of an electronic local display combined with electronic circuitry to provide a high resolution absolute encoder output. This electronic register assembly shall transmit a signal through properly shielded (grounded) transmission wire for AMR connectivity. a. The High Resolution Absolute Encoder Register option shall use an industry ASCII protocol. Capable of sending a 9-digit encoder output to the endpoint as well as extended status messages. Resolution being sent to the reading software is based on the output of the endpoint. D. Display shall be a straight reading, permanently sealed electronic LCD with digits 0.28 inches high. The display will contain 9 digits plus a decimal point and display consumption, units of measure, rate of flow and alarm information. The digital display shall provide a totalized consumption resolution to 0.1 gallons, 0.01 cubic feet, or cubic meters for Water Meter Material Contract 2 E-Series Meter DWSRF # FS

15 1-1/2 and 2 meters. The maximum indication on the dial and the minimum allowable capacity of the register shall comply with Table 3. E. The size, model, and direction of flow through the meters shall be permanently visible on the topside of all meter displays. The units of registration, U.S. gallons, cubic feet, or meters cubed shall also be designated on the Register display. The enhanced resolution of the totalized flow display can be utilized as a flow indicator for leak detection. F. The Register shall have a lid that covers the display face for added protection and optional identification of serial number REGISTRATION ACCURACY A. Specified in Table 1, at any flow rate within normal test flow limits, the meter shall register not less than 98.5% and not more than 101.5% of the water actually passed through the meter. At the minimum test flow rate, the meter shall register not less than 97.0% and not more than 103.0% of the water actually passed through the meter REJECTED METERS A. The manufacturer shall repair or replace, at its option, without charge, all meters rejected for failure to comply with this specification.
