Introduction The OMNI family of meters are a technologically advanced set of water meters with no restrictions as to sustained flow rates within its continuous operating range. OMNI meters feature Floating Ball Technology (FBT), which allows the measuring element to operate virtually without friction or wear.

To ensure valid registration, proper performance, and meter longevity, the following factors should be considered when installing Sensus OMNI Meters. 1. When installing Sensus OMNI Meter with the strainer, a minimum of 2-½ pipe diameters of straight run of pipe or equivalent full open components is required upstream and downstream of the meter or strainer flanges.

12. The manufacturer’s normal flow must not be exceeded for extended periods. Applications with questionable water quality should be addressed with Sensus Engineering before meter installations. 13. The meter should be protected from stones, sand, and fibrous material. 14. The meter must be protected from pressure surges.
The OMNI registers utilize fully solid-state electronics. The OMNI C register outputs a programmable (using Sensus Unipro and OMNI communicators) digital pulse signal suited for interfacing with ACT-PAK instruments and SCADA systems to achieve a 4 to 20 mA output.

Illustration 1 OMNI Electronic Switch (MOSFET) Register 12-24 VDC Signal to 12-24 VAC Relay Illustration 1 is used when the OMNI is connected to a PLC (e.g., in a SCADA system). The PLC should not have an internal pull-up resistor in its input circuit (no DC voltage at the instrument inputs).

Illustration 3 OMNI Electronic Switch (MOSFET) Register 6000 Ohm Resistor Ground to Instrument 12-24 VDC (if required) Signal to Instrument by Pull-Up Resistor Illustration 3 is used for instruments without internal pull-up resistors and without optical isolators internal to their inputs. Ground is common for both the OMNI register and instrument.

Tools Required • 2.5, 3, and 6mm hex head ball end drivers (6mm not needed for the R2) • Sensus seal screw tool—for bonnet removal • Open end/box wrenches as determined by size and type of OMNI meter • 7/16”x1/2” open end/box wrench •...
Remove the Measuring Chamber Chamber Cover Chamber Cover Bolts Bolt Washers (Black nylon washers are below the stainless steel washers). Chamber Cover Measuring Chamber Chamber Cover O-Ring Note: Chamber Bolt quantity varies by meter size. 1. With the service line pressure off, loosen all chamber cover bolts. 2.
1. Remove the bonnet seal screw ( ) using the Sensus seal removal tool. 2. Twist the bonnet ( ) counter-clockwise and lift it off the base. 3. Raise the register ( ) off the base, taking care to not strain the pick-up probe wire.
