DISASSEMBLING REASSEMBLING
FOREWORD
K33 ATEX METER can be easily disassembled into its main
parts without removing thebody from the pipes.
METER UNIT
To disassemble the meter unit operate as follows:
A
Remove the reset knob by firmly pulling it axially
B
Loosen the 4 retaining screws (see diagram 1, pos. "7")
C
Loosen the 2 screws (pos. "5").
To reassemble the unit reverse the procedure described
above.
RESET KNOB
To modify the reset knob position:
A
Perform only the operations a) and b) described above.
B
Take out the plug (see diagram 1,pos. "4") by pushing it from
the inside towards the outside of the cover
C
Fix again the plug on the opposite hole by placing it inside
the cover and pushing it outwards.
D
Fix again the meter cover and resetknob
MEASURING
To enter the measuring chamber operate as follows:
CHAMBER
A
Disassemble the meter unit.
B
Loosen the eight screws (see diagram 1, pos. "7").
C
Remove the body cover (pos. "8") together with the gear unit.
During this operation be careful not to damage the gasket
(pos. "10").
D
Remove the whole measuring chamber (pos. "11") by lifting it
from themeter body and at the same time pulling it back to-
wards the inlet in order toremove the O ring (pos. "16") from
its seat at the outlet.
To check the inside of the measuring chamber (pos. "15"), remove the O ring and divide the
two half chambers containing the nutating disk. Measuring chamberTo enter the measuring
chamber operate as follows:
A
Check that the nutating-disk rotates freely in the ASSEMBLED
measuring chamber;;
B
Install the gasket seals correctly after having checked and
lubricated them;
C
During the assembly of the lid on the body prevent the
needle of the nutating-disk from jamming on the gear that

C
Remove the plate. Now all gears canbe reached for inspec-
tion. Should the gasket be replaced, remove the bevel
