Site Assessment

  • Straight pipe installation requirement: 10 x diameter pipe upstream (before the meter) and 5 x diameter pipe

downstream (after the meter).

  • The meter may be installed in any position. For non-horizontal positions, the flow should be upwards.

  • Prior to installation of the meter, the pipeline should be thoroughly flushed.

  • Meter must be installed so that the pipe will be full of water at all times during metering.

  • Recommendation: Continuous Acting Air Vents of proper size and type be installed to eliminate air.

 

Pulse Output Connections

Meter Pulse Output Port:

A Netafim IRT Series meter has 3 different register types:

  • Standard Register (pulse output capable)

  • Photo Diode Register (voltage output)

  • Multi-Purpose Electronic (MPE) Register 

The same register fits into all the Netafim mechanial meter types (M Series, WMR Series, WST/WT Series, IRT Series)

Electrical Connections

  • Standard Register (pulse output capable)

A "Pulse Reed Switch" module must be installed onto the register to get pulse output.
