Section 2 Installation2.1 GeneralThis section contains the procedures for receipt and installation of the meter. Specificinstructions are provided for accessory equipment.2.2 Receipt of EquipmentWhen the equipment is received, the outside of the packing case should be checked forany damage incurred during shipment. If the packing case is damaged, the local carriershould be notified at once regarding his liability.A report should be submitted to the Product Service Department, Brodie Meter Co., LLCDivision, Statesboro, Georgia 30459.Remove the envelope containing the packing list. Carefully remove the equipment fromthe packing case. Make sure spare, or replacement parts are not discarded with thepacking material. Inspect for damaged or missing parts.In many cases the accessory items that form the "Stack-up" of the meter have beenshipped as a complete unit where possible. If not, it will be broken apart into as fewassemblies as is practical. Refer to the Packing List for information as to what issupplied for your particular meter. In the event that any items are missing from yourshipment, contact your local Brodie Representative or Sales Office and provide themwith the Brodie Sales Order Number.2.3 Return ShipmentTo be able to process returned goods quickly and efficiently, it is IMPORTANT that youprovide essential information. Do no return any assembly or part without an "R. M. R."(Returned Materials Report) or a letter which describes the problem, corrective action (ifany) and the work that is to be performed at the factory. "R.M.R." forms can be obtainedfrom Brodie District Sales Offices or the Service Department, Brodie Meter Co., LLC,Highway 301 North, Statesboro, Georgia 30458.Place a copy of either of the above inside the shipping container and attach it physicallyto the material being returnee. A copy of your packing list should be placed inside thecontainer.Failure to follow the above procedure could result in considerable delay because itemshave not been properly identified.2.4 Recommended ProceduresPrior to installation of the meter, the following items of general information andrecommendations should be considered:

1. On new installations, the lines should be flushed thoroughly to rid the pipe ofwelding bead, pipe sca7. etc. before the meter is placed in service. This can bedone by using a spool-piece in place of the meter.2. It is recommended that the meter be mounted in a position that will allowsufficient clearance for removal of the strainer screen and the float assembly,from the air eliminator/strainer.3. Install a strainer ahead of the inlet of the meter.4. The meter should be level for proper and specified of operation. The rotors in themeasuring element must be in horizontal position.5. Shut-off or control valves should be located downstream, of the meter.6. Installation should be in accord with the proper local standards and regulations,such as API standards 1101 and NBS Handbook H-44.7. Block valves should be located upstream and down stream of the meter.

Section 3 OperationCaution: Do Not Operate This Meter In Excess Of Values Listed In Section 1.6,Specifications.3.1 General1. When the meter is first put into operation, or at any time the meter has beendrained, it should be started slowly until all air has been exhausted from the outerhousing.2. To prevent high shock pressure or surges, care should be exercised in openingor closing valves when starting or stopping flow through the meter.3. On new installations, the lines should be flushed thoroughly to rid the pipe ofwelding bead, pipe scale, etc. before the meter is placed in service. This can bedone by using a spool-piece in place of the meter.Note: Failure To Perform The Above Procedures Could Result In Serious DamageTo The Meter.Water should NEVER be used as a flushing medium through this meter. Always use aflushing medium that is compatible with the metallurgy of the meter and its internalparts, and similar to the product for which this meter was intended. See Materials ofConstruction, Section 1.6. Failure to comply with these proper operational procedureswill void the warranty.3.2 Operation - Meter Register and PrinterCaution: Do Not Turn Printer/Reset Handle Counter Clockwise.Do not start delivery unless shutter is in full open position. If numerals on indicatingwheels are not in full view, resetting operation has not been completed, in which case,turn reset knob until shutter disappears and reset knob returns to its normal position.1. Lift ticket slot cover and insert ticket as far as it will go, FACE DOWN ANDBOTTOM END FIRST. If ticket does not enter tray, turn crank one completerevolution, or until it reaches positive stop. This will lift sealing pin and permitinsertion of ticket.2. When ticket is in place, make one complete turn in a clockwise direction untilpositive stop is reached, leaving handle in down position. Mechanism is now setfor delivery.3. After completing delivery, turn crank one complete revolution in clockwisedirection until positive stop is reached, release handle and withdraw ticket.Important: All Turns Must Be Full To Internal Stop. Keep Crank In Straight DownPosition At Finish. Keep Ticket Slot Cover Closed When Not In Use. This WillPrevent Excessive Dirt From Entering The Printer Mechanism.

Section 4 Maintenance4.1 GeneralThe amount of maintenance necessary for efficient meter performance depends uponsuch factors as –1. Continuity of Operation - A meter which operates almost continuously, obviouslywill require more attention than one on intermittent duty.2. Rate of Flow - The practical life of any piece of equipment is proportional to itsspeed of operation. A meter operating at, or close to its maximum rating willnaturally have a shorter life than operating at a reduced rate.3. Cleanliness of Product - Abrasive solid matter accelerates meter wear.Meters that are given even a little attention regularly will deliver better performance andhave a longer life than those that are given no attention until they have failed.Frequently a meter's performance will depend, to a considerable extent upon the properfunctioning of the accessory equipment in the piping system. Following are listed someof the conditions and factors influencing meter performance.A meter should be kept filled with the liquid it is measuring. Draining results in theformation of deposits and gums which increase the mechanical friction.Any leaky shut-off valves or check valves which would permit the meter to drain shouldbe repaired or replaced.The meter should be kept free of water. Usually, regular inspection and draining ofstorage tanks is sufficient protection.A regular procedure should be set up to clean the strainer basket to prevent it fromfilling and rupturing the screen.The valves and operating mechanism of an air eliminator should be given occasionalinspection.The counter of a meter should be given some protection during extreme weatherconditions.A meter taken out of service for any length of time should,: be protected and sealedagainst entry of foreign material:: and corrosion.Caution: Before Performing Any Disassembly Or Reassembly Procedures AllFlow To Meter Should Be Off. All Electrical Connections To Accessories ShouldBe Disconnected. Service Should Be Performed By Trained And QualifiedPersonnel Only.4.2 General Disassembly ProcedureComponents of this meter and sub-assemblies are relatively small. Therefore, it issuggested that a clean, neat work area be selected before attempting any service toavoid loss and/or damage of parts.

It is recommended that the entire assembly, including the meter, strainer/air eliminator,and valve be removed from the tank truck before attempting to service the meter itself.Note: The Meter Body Must Be Disconnected From The Mounting Platform IfMaintenance Is Required Only On The Measuring Unit Assembly.Before attempting to disassemble or remove the assembly, close block valves on inletand outlet of meter.Caution: Bleed Off The Remaining Pressure In The Meter Slowly But CompletelyBy Slightly Loosening All Pipe Fittings. All Pressure Must Be Bled Off BeforeAttempting To Complete Disconnections In Order To Prevent Personal Injury.Loosen the pipe unions on the inlet and outlet of meter, and remove the screws holdingthe meter base to tank truck to remove the entire assembly.4.3 General Reassembly ProcedureA. CleaningPrior to reassembly, all parts should be thoroughly washed in solvent, light fuel oil orkerosene to remove any contamination, and dried with compressed air and/or clean,lint-free wipers.B. 0-ringsPrior to reassembly, carefully inspect all 0-rings for cuts, nicks, or deformation. Use new0-rings for replacement as necessary.Lubricate all 0-rings sparingly with light oil to aid in holding 0-rings in place and toprovide lubrication for O-rings during reassembly.Good practice is to always replace 0-rings with new ones during reassembly.C. BearingsInspect bearing for cleanliness and looseness. Excessive wear dictates the need forbearing replacement.If old bearings are reused for reassembly, they should be lubricated sparingly with lightoil before replacing in meter.4.4 Meter Measuring UnitA.

Install Counter Base Plate Assembly (item 7), secure with screws (item 6).NOTE: The Gear On The Counter Base Plate Assembly (Item 7) Must Mate WithThe Worm Wheel (Item 40) On The Measuring Unit.4.5 Automatic Temperature Compensator (ATC) - Model BA-33TA. Principle of OperationRefer to Figure 4.4. The temperature compensator is made up of thermal productbellows, linkage plate assembly, ATC control gear train, and 600 lockout incorporatedinto the linkage plate assembly by means of a movable pivot pin.The bellows is mounted in the front cover of the meter, immersed in liquid beingmetered.Product temperature variations cause linear expansion and contraction of the bellowswith respect to product temperature. Bellows expansion and contraction is transferred tothe ATI' gear train by means of linkage lever (4) and push rods (3 & 5) to change theposition of the friction roller (6) on the platform gear (7), providing compensated readouton the meter counter.

The compound input gear (8), through the compound idler gear (9), drives the planetarm assembly (10) and the hardened, polished steel platform gear (7).The platform gear drives the worm gear (14) through the friction roller. The worm geardrives the worm wheel and spur gear assembly (13) which, in turn, drives the externalteeth of the planetary ring gear (17) through an idler gear (15). The internal teeth of thering gear drive four planetary gears which transmit compensated output to the registerdrive gearing.The infinitely variable transmission of the friction drive acts as a counter-directionalforce subtracting from the ATC output rather than adding to the output or driving theplanetary system. Thus the compensating mechanism is not required to carry any of thetorque load of the counter equipment and is not subject to slippage under heavy loads.The speed of the friction roller is determined by its position on the platform gear and itsspeed varies, as does the speed of the ATC output. The position of the roller on theplatform gear is controlled by the product bellows movement as it expands or contractsdue to product temperature change.For normal ATC operation, with register readout compensated for product temperaturevariations, the movable pivot pin is located in position (B).The temperature compensator can be "locked out" (made inoperative) by placing themovable pivot pin in position (A). Output from the automatic temperature compensatorthen becomes gross uncompensated indication.B. Removal (Reference Figure 6.1)Remove ATC adjustment cover (item 29) by removing two screws (Item 31). Removelinkage plate assembly (item 27) by removing three screws (item 30). Remove bellowsshaft (item 32) by withdrawing it from the bellows cover (item 33). Remove adjustmentshaft (item 26) by withdrawing it from the counter base plate assembly housing (item76).Please note rounded ends of bellows shaft and protruding flat end of adjustment shaftfor purposes of reassembly. Remove bellows cover (item 33) by removing 3 sockethead screws (item 28), and withdraw bellows (item 35). Use caution not to dent bellows.Remove O-Ring (item 34) and put in safe place.

Remove the two machine screws (item 20), and the two hex head screws (item 19) withlock washers (item 18). Lift the ATC Rear assembly (item 21) from the counter baseplate assembly (item 16). Please note that the ATC gear assembly is held in position oncounter base plate assembly by locating dowel pins (item 36). Coupling (item 17) cannow be lifted off of drive shaft.C. Maintenance (Reference Figure 6.1)In normal use, no service is required other than periodic lubrication.If the gear assembly of the ATC (item 21) is found to be damaged, worn, or otherwiseunserviceable, an exchange replacement assembly should be ordered from the nearestBrodie Regional Office.D. Lubrication (Reference Figures 6.1 and 6.7)No lubrication is required on the linkage plate assembly (item 27), the bellows shaft(item 32), or the adjustment shaft (item 26).In order to achieve maximum service life, the ATC gear assembly (item 21) should beremoved and lightly lubricated at approximately six month intervals.Lubricants required are given in Table 4-1, and points of lubrication are shown onFigure 6-7.Lubrication should be done thoroughly but sparingly. Do not use excessive quantities oflubricant.E. Installation (Reference Figure 6.1)Place coupling (item 17) in position on packing shaft (item 61) in counter base plate(item 16).Place ATC gear assembly (item 21) in position on top of the counter base using care toassure that coupling (item 17) is properly aligned with input shaft on bottom of ATC gearassembly. When input shaft and coupling are properly engaged, the ATC gearassembly will be seated correctly inside the counter base plate housing. Thisengagement may be verified by temporarily operating the meter and checking forcorresponding ATC output.NOTE: Dowel pins (item 36) in the top of the counter base must align with thelocation holes on bottom of the ATC gear assembly.Secure the ATC Rear assembly (item 21) by replacing two machine screws (item 20)and two hex-head screws (item 19) with lock washers (item 18).Install 0-Ring (item 34) in outer part of bellows opening in output end case (item 10).Make certain bellows (item 35) is not dented or otherwise damaged, and reinstall intofront end cover bellows bore.Replace bellows cover (item 33) and secure by installing three socket head screws(item 28).

Replace bellows shaft (item 32) by inserting into hole in bellows cover.Replace ATC adjustment shaft (item 26) by inserting into bushing in the front of thecounter base plate, with square end out. Replace linkage plate assembly (item 27) andsecure with three screws (item 30).F. Butane Service (Reference Figure 4.4)The fixed pivot point for the linkage lever has been set (at the Factory) at the "P" or "B"position on the linkage plate, indicating propane or butane service respectively. If theproduct metered is changed from propane to butane (or vice versa), then the pivot pointmust be changed accordingly.To change the pivot point, simply remove the roll pin that attaches the linkage lever tothe linkage plate, and install it in the desired position for either propane or butaneservice. Changing the metered product and fixed pivot point necessitates recalibrationof the ATC.G. ATC Calibration Procedure (Ref. Figure 6.1 and 6.7)NOTE: Accuracy adjustments, for the model BA-33T meter, are inherent to andaccomplished within the calibration procedure for the Automatic TemperatureCompensator, eliminating the need for a separate accuracy Adjustersubassembly (such as the 4200 Adjuster used on the model BA-33 meter).The ATC is designed for use with propane or butane at a product temperature between- 10OF (-23oC) and +130oF (+54oC). The unit is calibrated for a base compensationtemperature of 60OF (15oC) and sealed with seal wire and lead seal before shipping. Ifrecalibration becomes necessary, a volumetric prover must be used in accordance withproper regulation, such as API Standard 1101.NOTE: Calibration procedure warrants breakage of the ATC seal. Propermeasurement and regulatory officials must be notified prior to seal breakage, andupon installation of new seal after calibration is completed.

To calibrate the ATC, first remove the two screws (item 31) so that the adjustment cover(item 29) may be removed. Note the location of the instruction decal inside theadjustment cover (See Figure 4-5). Referring to Figure 4-4, remove the pivot pin fromthe ATC operation position (B) on the linkage lever (4), and place it in the 60oF lockoutposition (A). Running a specific volume through the meter, at a product temperature of60oF, should result in a meter register readout equal to the quantity of liquid indicatedby the volumetric prover. Inserting a thermometer in the thermometer well (located inthe blind flange of the strainer/vapor release assembly) provides a means of monitoringproduct temperature. Proper temperature correction factors must be incorporated forproduct temperatures other than 60oF.If there is a discrepancy between meter readout and prover readout, adjustment isnecessary. Compensation for the present discrepancy can be accomplished by turningthe 60OF adjustment screw. Each adjustment division equals 0.157. Turning the screwin a clockwise direction will decrease counter readout, while counter-clockwiseadjustments increase counter readout. Several prover test r8ns are warranted to verifythe proper adjustment for the 60 F lockout position.Replace the pivot pin to the ATC operation position (B), on the linkage lever. Run asmall amount of volume through the meter (approximately 30 U.S. gallons), to allow theATC to compensate for the change in pivot pin position, before continuing with ATCcalibration procedure.Running a specific volume through the meter at a product temperature within theoperating range of the ATC should now result in a meter register readout corrected tothe 60OF volume. If there is a discrepancy between actual readout and calculatedreadout, adjustment is necessary. Compensation for the percent discrepancy can beaccomplished by turning the ATC adjustment screw. Each adjustment division equals0.3%. Turning the screw in a clockwise direction will decrease counter readout, whilecounter-clockwise adjustments increase counter readout. Several prover test runs arewarranted to verify the proper adjustment for the ATC operation position.NOTE: Any attempt to service the ATC assembly or linkage plate assembly mayresult in serious damage and/ or personal injury. Contact Brodie ServiceDepartment for information concerning ATC exchange policy.Once the Automatic Temperature Compensator has been proper] calibrated, replacethe Adjuster cover and secure with two screws.4.6 Series 4200 Adjuster - Model BA-33A. Removal (Reference Figure 6.1)Remove four screws (item 14) and lift off Adjuster (item 13) from top of counter baseplate assembly (item 7).If the Adjuster assembly is found to be damaged, worn, or otherwise unserviceable, anexchange replacement assembly should be ordered from the nearest Brodie RegionalOffice.

B. Installation (Reference Figure 6.1)Place Adjuster (item 13) in position carefully on top of counter base plate (item 7)making certain that coupling on bottom side of Adjuster is aligned properly with packingshaft (output from counter base plate).When packing shaft and coupling are properly engaged, the Adjuster will be correctlyseated on the counter base plate. This engagement may be verified by temporarilyoperating the meter and checking for corresponding Adjuster output. Secure Adjuster tocounter base plate by installing four screws (item 14).C. Accuracy AdjustmentThe BA-33 meter is adjusted for accuracy by changing the gear ratio between the meterpacking shaft and the counter until the counter registers the amount of liquid measured.The Adjuster accomplishes this change in positive and definite increments. The Adjusteris provided with two adjusting knobs (see Figure 4-6). One knob is used to make coarseadjustments; the other to make fine adjustments. To make an adjustment, lift lockingplate and push in or pull out on adjusting knob. Pushing the knobs into the Adjusterdecreases the counter readings, while pulling the knobs out will increase the readout.Each groove of the coarse adjustment equals .67, of the volume delivered, and eachfine adjustment groove equals .05%.4.7 Counter Base Plate Assembly(Reference Figures 6.1, 6.3, or 6.4)1.

Install onediaphragm washer (item 12) over threaded end of poppet. Install diaphragm (item 13)over threaded end of poppet. Install second diaphragm washer (item 12) over thethreaded end of poppet on top of diaphragm. Hold the poppet by means of ascrewdriver shaft or a piece of bar stock in the cross slot in lower end of poppet. Installand tighten jam nut (item 11) on threaded end of poppet. Refer to Figure 6.5 and Table6.2.If the float (item 23) has been removed, replace float on the float link assembly andretain with cotter pin (item 24).Replace float link assembly (item 3) including float, on the linkage guide bracket (item 6)by use of cotter pins (item 4) and spacer (item 5). Refer to detail A of Figure 6.5 forillustration of correct reassembly.Replace vapor release cap (item 10) using five socket head cap screws (item 9) (Referto Figure 6.7). Use caution to assure that holes in diaphragm (item 13) are properlyaligned before installing cap screw (item 9). The poppet should be lifted up until it seatsto allow socket head screws (item 9) to be easily inserted through the diaphragm.

If the float shroud (item 2) has been removed, reinstall the shroud in the housing (item1).The float link assembly (item 3) must move freely without binding or dragging of linkagefollowing reassembly.Lift float to seat the pilot ball and the poppet (item 14).Apply approximately 15 PSI air pressure to the vapor release opening in top of head.Proper seating of the poppet and pilot ball will be indicated by no flow of air.Release float - air flow should be evident.Repeat several times, lifting float to seat ball and poppet and releasing to assure theseating is reliable and consistent.Reinstall 0-Ring (item 17) in top of housing (item 1).Reinstall the float, float linkage, and head assembly into opening on top of housing andretain with four socket head cap screws (item 7) (Refer to Figure 6.5).Reconnect tubing (item 78) and tubing nut (item 77) to elbow (item 80), as illustrated inFigure 6.1.4-9 Differential Pressure Control ValveA. Removal/DisassemblyRefer to Figure 6.1. Disconnect tubing nut (item 77) and tubing (item 78) from connector(item 79) located on valve body.Remove the complete valve assembly from the front end cover by removing four nuts(item 73) and 0-Ring (item 74).Refer to Figure 6-6. Place valve assembly with 1 '1" NPT threaded end down on arborpress. Remove bushing (item 11,.Place sleeve slightly smaller in diameter than the inside diameter of the retaining ring(item 10) on face of retainer (item 9). Press with arbor press sufficiently hard enough toallow easy removal of the retainer (item 9). Use small screwdriver or scribe to push endof retainer out of groove in body and "peel out" retainer.Slowly release pressure from arbor press until all tension created by springs (item 3 and6) is released.CAUTION: Piston may be held in valve body by 0-Ring so that spring tension isnot fully released. Exercise care in making certain all spring tension is releasedin order to prevent personal injury.Remove retainer (item 9), 0-Ring (item 8), check valve (item 7), spring (item 6), piston(item 5) with O-Ring (item 4), and spring (item 3).

B. Reassembly/InstallationWith valve body positioned on arbor press, in the same position as used in disassembly,insert spring (item 3) into the valve body.Install properly lubricated O-Ring (item 4) in the 0-Ring groove of piston (item 5) andplace piston down over spring (item 3). Insert spring (item 6) into hole in nose of piston,insert check valve (item 7) down over spring (item 6).Place O-Ring (item 8) around rear shoulder of retainer (item 9), and place retainer overface of check valve with 0-Ring down.Using pressing sleeve on the face of the check valve lightly compress springs by handwhile positioning under arbor press. Retainer should be around pressing sleeve andloose at this time.When well centered, press piston (item 5), check valve (item 7), and retainer (item 9)down into bore of valve body with the arbor press.Use care to press in straight and carefully so as not to cut the position 0-Ring (item 4).When sufficiently compressed the retainer groove in the valve body will just show. Insertlower end of retainer into groove and complete insertion by working the rest of theretainer into the groove in a spiral direction. Make certain that the full length of theretainer including the outside end is in the groove - seated - before releasing pressurefrom the arbor press. Install 0-Ring (item 8) into groove on flanged end of valve body.Refer to Figure 6.1. Remove complete valve (item 70) with front end cover and securewith four nuts (item 73) (Refer to Table 6.1). Reconnect tubing (item 78) by positioningand tightening the tubing nut (item 77) on connection (item 79) on side of valve body.

Section 5 TROUBLESHOOTING5-1 GeneralTable 5.1 has been provided to aid in basic troubleshooting. Disassembly proceduresare covered in Section 4 Maintenance. If trouble occurs, determine the probable causein an effort to pinpoint the source of the trouble, i.e., if a counter does not register at all,first make certain that there is flow through the meter.If the flow meter is found to be in need of repair, it is recommended the user contact thenearest Brodie service or sales office.It is important that servicing be performed by trained and qualified service personnel.Table 5.1 TroubleshootingSymptom Possible Cause SolutionMeter Runs But CounterDoes Not RegisterMeter Runs But Is NoisyMeter Runs But Only VerySlowly; Not Noisy; LowDelivery RateMeter Will Not RunErratic CounterBroken Coupling BetweenCounter Base And ATC EarAssemblyFaulty ATC Gear AssemblyFault CounterMeter Is Not Properly TimedDamaged RotorsWorn BearingsStrainer Screen CloggedFloat In Vapor ReleaseCollapsedBind In Vapor ReleaseLinkageImproper Poppet SeatingATC Non-FunctioningReplace CouplingRefer To "BrodieExchange Policy" ForAdjuster ServiceReplace CounterRetime MeterService Or ReplaceRotorsReplace Ball BearingsRemove And CleanStrainer ScreenReplace FloatDisassembly To Service.Replace Parts AsNecessaryReplace Poppet And/Or0-RingRefer To "BrodieExchange Policy" ForAdjuster Service
