Current Meter MaintenanceHS Model OSS-B1 Hydrological Services Pty Ltd Presented to HiQ Engineering Brunei JULY 2009
Prior To Discharge Measurements • Remove fan assembly from carry case • Turn fan carrier anti-clockwise Anti-Clockwise
Prior To Discharge Measurements • Separate fan carrier from shaft assembly (keep away from contact with any dirt particles) • Hold the fan upright and ‘¾ fill’ with approved HS current meter oil Use Lint Free Tissue
Prior To Discharge Measurements • Replace axle and fan carrier, excess oil will be forced up through the capillary gap around the axle, ensure fan carrier is tightened • Wipe the excess oil of the meter using lint free paper towel Clockwise
Prior To Discharge Measurements • Do not forget to close the oil bottle straight after usage to avoid contamination of the oil • Slide the fan assembly into the body and use the stubby screwdriver to tighten the retaining screw to lock the fan assembly in place
Prior To Discharge Measurements • Prior to spin test hold the current meter in the horizontal position and spin by hand for approx. one minute to get rid of the hydraulic pressure • Spin test the meter against time to test the performance of the shaft and bearings
Prior To Discharge Measurements • Spin test results are dependent on the fan type • Connect your current meter to the counter using the lead provided (this will test that the lead, reed switch and counter are working prior to use)
During and after Discharge Measurements After every discharge measurement, (or one hour of use), the current meter should be cleaned and refilled with oil, if continuing a discharge measurement.
During and after Discharge Measurements • Undo the cleaning jar cap and ‘¾ fill’ with white spirit • Remove fan assembly from meter body by undoing the retaining screw and separate the body from the fan Cleaning Jar
During and after Discharge Measurements • Remove fan carrier and shaft assembly (do not place in contact with dirt particles) • Empty the old oil in a recycling container and dispose (do NOT re-use)
During and after Discharge Measurements • Put the shaft and bearing assembly into the cleaning jar. • Agitate the jar • Fill up the fan with white spirit, place your thumb over the hole and shake vigorously for a few seconds.
During and after Discharge Measurements • Blow dry the shaft assembly, fan carrier and fan. • Re-assemble the fan, ‘dry’ if discharge measurement is complete
During and after Discharge Measurements • Wipe box clean and return the fan assembly to the case • If continuing a discharge measurement, refill the fan with oil
During and after Discharge Measurements • Spin test the current meter against time as shown in section 1 • After the spin test is performed connect your current meter to the counter using the lead, to test the lead, reed switch and counter.
Office Cleaning Office cleaning should be performed on a monthly basis or whenever the meter is dirty

Calibration • • Re-calibrate the current meter every 300 hours of use or once a year which ever comes first (see Hydrological Services calibration certificate for details) • • To minimise freight costs, send only the body and fans requiring re-calibration • Note: Hydrological Services provides a re-calibration and repair service for all types of current meters.
