MVP-10  Magnetic Volume Pulser

Click here to view the .pdf version

Miners & Pisani, Inc. MVP-10 Magnetic Volume Pulser is a magnetically actuated reed switch mounted in a polycarbonate housing for easy installation on commercial and industrial gas meters. Meter shaft rotation actuates the switch which can then be used to transmit the metered volume to a remote totalizer or indicator such as the FPC Display.

Instructions

The MVP-10 has a universal mounting pattern to facilitate mounting on most commercial and industrial gas meters. 5/16"-18 X 2" screws are supplied for mounting. American Meter Co. mounting holes on meter should be enlarged to standard size by running a 5/16-18 tap down through the existing #18-18 threads.

Remove the existing meter index or instrument from the meter. Place the MVP-10 over the mounting holes and reinstall the original index or instrument using the supplied screws.

The American Meter index drive shaft is not concentric with the mounting bolt circle. Care should be taken to mount the MVP-10 with the wiring access hole to the back of the meter to insure proper alignment of the drive shaft and the driven shaft.

 

Cautions

The MVP-10 is designed to operate with high impedence loads and cannot be used to directly operate solenoid actuated devices or similar inductive loads. To operate the MVP-10 in circuits containing inductive loads or at ratings above those listed for the switch, additional protective devices must be used.

Care must be exercised when installing electrical equipment in locations deemed hazardous by local authorities. When MVP-10 pulsers are installed in such locations, the pulser must be protected by an energy limiting barrier located in a non-hazardous area.
