Recordall® Compound Series Meter Cold Water Bronze & Lead-Free Alloy Meter NSF/ANSI Standard 61 Certified, Annex G DESCRIPTION Badger Meter Recordall® Compound Series meters combine two metering technologies in one innovative package. A positive displacement chamber measures low flow, while a turbine chamber records high flow. Offered in four sizes, the Compound Series meter features: • Patented design that eliminates the need for a trigger valve and maintains crossover accuracy. • Sealed, multi-position register that protects against dirt, moisture and tampering—and eases installation and reading. • Straight-reading odometer-type totalization display, 360° test circle with center sweep hand and flow finder to detect leaks. • Compatibility with a range of automatic meter reading systems. Badger Meter ORION® and GALAXY® AMR/AMI meter reading systems are available for all Compound Series meters. Itron® ERT reading systems are also available. An optional summator can be provided as an integral part of the register assembly. All register options are removable from the meter without disrupting water service. APPLICATIONS Use the Recordall Compound meter for measuring potable cold water in commercial and industrial applications where flow is in one direction only. The meter is an ideal choice for facilities that experience rapid and wide fluctuations in water demand, such as hospitals, universities, residential complexes and manufacturing or processing facilities. Compound Series meters are available in cast bronze or a lead-free alloy and comply with NSF/ANSI Standard 61, Annex G. The meters carry the NSF-61 Mark, Trade Designation: Compound Series LL-NS. OPERATION & PERFORMANCE At low flow rates, the Compound Series meter diverts water up through a bypass to the disc chamber. Leaving the chamber’s outlet port, water flows beyond the turbine element and main valve. As the flow rate increases, a pressure differential is created that opens the main valve. The water then flows straight through the turbine chamber. In addition, a portion still flows through the disc chamber before exiting the meter. The Recordall Compound Series meets or exceeds registration accuracy for low, normal operating, maximum continuous operation, and changeover flow rates as specified in AWWA Standard C702. CONSTRUCTION The Recordall Compound Series meter’s construction complies with ANSI and AWWA C702 standards. It consists of three basic components: meter housing, interchangeable measuring elements, and sealed direct reading registers. The measuring element consists of the disc measuring chamber, turbine head assembly, and high flow valve assembly. To simplify maintenance, the registers and measuring elements can be removed without removing the meter housing from the line. METER INSTALLATION The meter is designed for installations where flow is in one direction only. A separate strainer is required to ensure optimum flow conditioning and protection of the measuring element. Companion flanges for installation of meters on various pipe types and sizes are available in cast iron or bronze as an option. Rotor and disc movements are transmitted by magnetic drive couplings to individual register odometers. The direct magnetic drive provides a positive, reliable and dependable register coupling for straight-reading or remote reading options. And the selflubricating thermoplastic register gearing is designed to minimize friction and provide long life. RCS-T-07-EN (August 2012) Technical Brief
