Outside Visual Remote (OVR) Meter Reading System for Kent / ABB / AMCO Model C-700 Magnetic Drive, Positive Displacement Water Meters Sizes: 5/8" - 2" Operation The Outside Visual Remote Meter Reading System (OVR) consists of a pulse-type generator and remote wall unit. The system is designed to permit visual remote reading of the generator's pulses, each of which is equivalent to a known volume of water. The generator is self powered and is magnetically driven by the piston movements in the meter's measuring chamber. The generator totalizes water throughput and sends pulses to the wall unit via a 2 - conductor wire. The pulses are counted and displayed on the wall unit totalizer for visual reading.  Compliance to Standards. The Outside Visual Remote Meter Reading System (OVR) complies with all design, performance and material requirements of the American Water Works Association Standard C706, as most recently revised.  Installation. Place the Potable Cold Water Meter in the service line as recommended by the Installation & Start-up instructions and install the two (2) wire cable and wall unit according to the instructions accompanying the equipment. Test the generator's circuit and remote wiring with a pulse simulator / closed circuit tester.  Application. The Outside Visual Remote Meter Reading System (OVR) is an option for our C-700 meter. It facilitates visual remote meter reading when applied to meters in basements, crawl spaces, shopping centers, condominiums or industrial plants when lockouts, security, location or similar reasons disallow regular direct meter reading. Accuracy tests of our water meter and the Remote Meter Reading System are made before shipment. Should further accuracy tests be required by the utility, a test circle and test hand are provided on the generator's dial. Follow the test procedures of AWWA Manual M6.  Generator Specifications Size  5/8" - 1"  1 1/2" - 2" 1 Rev Test Hand US Gallons  1  10  Cubic Feet 1/10  1  Cubic Meters 1/10  1/10*  Imperial Gallons  1  10  Totalizer Capacity  US Gallons (millions) 10  100  Cubic Feet (millions) 1 10  M3 Cubic Meters (millions) 1/10  1/10  Imperial Gallons (millions)  10  100  Units per Pulse US Gallons  100  1000  Cubic Feet 10  100  Cubic Meters 1 1**  Imperial Gallons  100 10000  * 2" - 1/100 cubic M,  ** 2" - 10 cubic M Fixed Zeros on Generator US Gallons  None  1  Cubic Feet None  None  Cubic Meters None  None  Imperial Gallons  None  1  Generator Type  Permanently sealed pulse type assembly Technical Data  Pulse Amplitude 8 Volts DC Off Load Min.
