Caution: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. RF Exposure compliance statement: This device may be used with no restrictions, since the source-based time-averaged output power is ≤ 60/f(GHz) mW. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 1 This device may not cause harmful interfenrence, and 2 This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. ALWAYS use new gaskets (Kamstrup recommends EPDM). FCC Cautions Torque If a pipe installation is skewed to the effect that the prescribed tightening torques would be exceeded, a meter setter or yoke should be installed. 1” Max. 30 Nm flowIQ® 2250 Installation guide 1”: Max. 30 Nm Do not overtighten; max 30 Nm or 1/4 turn beyond handtight. Kamstrup A/S • DRAFT_55122048_A1_US_02.2017 The adjacent piping must be parallel and match the meter in- and outlet. 1 General information Read this guide before installing the water meter. flowIQ® 2250 is a compact electronic water meter used for water consumption measurement in the tap water supplies of homes, commercial and industrial buildings. flowIQ® 2250 is hermetically closed, and it is, therefore, impossible to service the meter without breaking the seal. This means that all service, must be carried out by an authorized Kamstrup Service Centre. Certain changes of configuration, however, are possible via the built-in optical eye without dismounting the meter from the installation. Further details appear in the data sheet. 1.1 Permissible operating conditions / measuring ranges Temperature media - the water meter: Pressure stage: Mechanical environment: Electromagnetic environmental class: Protection class: Climatic environment: 33 °F...140 °F 250 PSI Fixed installation with minimum vibration. Residential and commercial IP68-rated (waterproof-submersible) 35 °F...140 °F. Condensing humidity. (indoors mounted in utility rooms and outdoors in meter pits). Installation in direct sunlight must be avoided. The meter must be protected from freezing as well. If a tight connection cannot be obtained within these limits, the pipe installation must be corrected in order to remove strains. Alternatively a meter setter or yoke must be installed. Mounting the meter you must make sure that the threaded length of the couplings does not prevent proper tightening of the sealing surface and that couplings with similar pressure ratings are used. For sealing, use the sealing wire holes on the lower side of the threaded connections. Service When the meter has been mounted in the system neither welding nor freezing is allowed. Dismount the meter from the system before starting such work. In order to facilitate replacement of the meter, shut off valves should be mounted on both sides of the meter. The meter is supplied with a strainer in the inlet. Check valves must be mounted according to local regulations. 1.3 Installation angle of flowIQ® 2250 flowIQ® 2250 can be mounted at all angles and positions. Kamstrup Headquarters recommend that the display is mounted so that it is easy to read, if possible. Thus, the meter can be mounted in a plain horizontal installation. It can be mounted vertically in an ascending pipe, it can be mounted at any angle and it can be mounted with the display pointing downwards, e.g under a roof. Mounting the meter in a downpipe, you must be aware that the display in that case will be ’upside down’. Prior to installation of flowIQ® 2250 the system should be cleaned and flushed thoroughly. Then, install the meter with matching couplings. If an existing install, remove all traces of old gaskets and insert new gaskets in original quality. Kamstrup recommends EPDM gaskets , which are included. Install the meter according to the flow direction indicated by an arrow on the side of the meter housing. An electrical grounding wire must be installed according to local electrical regulation and for safety reasons. During installation it must be secured that the meter is mounted without mechanical tension in the connection pipes. The piping must be in line and match the meter. Do not attempt to install the meter in a misaligned pipe system or in an opening that is too long. Jacking the piping into place with the meter will seriously damage the meter. In a properly aligned piping system with new gaskets, you should be able to mount and tighten the couplings by hand. After hand-tightening the coupling nuts, using an open-end wrench, tighten an extra ¼ to ½ turn on each coupling. Maximum allowable torque is 30 Nm. When flowIQ® 2250 leaves Kamstrup Headquarters, it has been tested and verified and the counter has been reset. The number of gallons or cu ft are displayed by nine large digits. Bars over and under each digit are fully customizable, meaning that they can be used to indicate numbers after the decimal point or indicate if the customer is billed in e.g. tens or hundreds of gallons. A number of info codes can be displayed, of which (DRY) and (RADIO OFF) will be activated and flash upon delivery. Furthermore, the small square in the bottom right-hand corner flashes to indicate that the meter is active. Info code (DRY) indicates air in the meter, the info code disappears when the meter is water-filled. The info code (RADIO OFF) indicates that the meter is still in transport mode with the built-in radio transmitter turned off. The transmitter turns on automatically when the first quarter gallon of water has run through the meter. The radio transmitter remains on, and the info code signal in the display switches off. When the water is running, the symbol (FLOW) will appear in the display. If the water is stagnant, the symbol will be off. The table below describes the different info codes in the display. Info code flashes in the Meaning display Flow The three segments will switch on alternately to indicate flow in the meter Backflow Indication if there is reverse flow Leak The water has not been stagnant in the meter during the past 24 hours. This can be a sign of a leaky faucet or toilet. The water flow has exceeded a preprogrammed limit for a minimum of 30 minutes, which is a sign of a burst pipe. The meter is not water-filled. Burst Dry 1.2 Installation requirements 1.6 Info codes and display Recommended water meter position. Recommended water meter position. Used for ”well installation”. Air build-up may occur. The meter functions optimally, but the display is ’upside down’. 1.4 Straight inlet flowIQ® 2250 requires neither straight inlet nor straight outlet to meet applicable AWWA standards. A straight inlet section will only be necessary in case of heavy flow disturbances before the meter. 1.5 Operating pressure In order to avoid cavitation and secure correct measurement under all circumstances the operating pressure in the pipe installation should observe the test conditions of AWWA M6 manual. The static pressure, immediately after the meter (downstream), must always be minimum 5 PSI (0.3 bar). Tamper Attempt of fraud. The meter is no longer valid for billing purposes. Radio OFF Flow unit The meter is still in transport mode with the built-in radio transmitter turned off. The transmitter turns on automatically when the frst 1/4 gallon of water has run though the meter. Indicates the configured flow unit. Battery Indication of the battery state. Active meter indication Meter adjustment A small square is flashing to indicate that the meter is active. If the meter has been dismounted, tested and the basic flow measurement has been adjusted this info code will appear.
