Neptune 800 Series Mechanical Register

The 800 series register is the latest of four multi-function devices specifically designed for petroleum distribution and industrial process industries. Some models allow automatic preset deliveries via mechanical valve and Weights and Measures approved ticket printing.

Models

The 800 Series Registers consist of the Model 830 Series and the Model 840 Series. Model 830 Series registers are in tenths and the Model 840 Series registers are in units.

Models 831 and 841 are direct reading resettable registers with the basic non-resettable totalizer.

Models 832 and 842 are the basic 830 and 840 features plus a preset register that provides automatic deliveries. The operator sets the register for the desired quantity from the front panel. The flow will cut off automatically at the exact volume desired when used in conjunction with either a mechanical valve or a solenoid actuated valve. There are two preset models available, a single trip for one stage shutoff or a double trip for two stage shutoff (delivery decreases, then the final shutoff stops the delivery).

Models 833 and 843 are the basic 830 and 840 features plus a printer register that prints a receipt or ticket showing the readings before and after delivery. The register locks the ticket during delivery to prevent fraud. Providing two letter wheels in the register makes it possible to print a letter code on the ticket to identify the flowmeter or truck. These letter wheels can print any single letter or combination of two letters from A to J, omitting I. Additionally, three serial number wheels are provided in the register to number each ticket consecutively from 000 to 999. There are four printer models available:

  • Accumulative Face Up (most commonly used): Prints beginning reading and the final reading
  • Accumulative Face Down (for outside use): Prints beginning reading and the final reading
  • Zero Start Face Up (for larger deliveries): Prints all zeros and the actual delivery
  • Zero Start Face Down (for larger deliveries): Prints all zeros and the actual delivery

Models 834 and 844 are printer-preset registers that combine the features of the other registers. They contain the preset quantity control plus the printed ticket features.

Features

  • Standard eight digit non-resettable totalizer, five digit delivery display, four preset and five or six digit printer
  • Measurement in Gallons, tenths of gallons, litres, dekalitres, pounds and kilograms
  • High visibility ¾” wheels
  • Long life, precision die cast Zamac printer wheels provide clear, sharp, easy to read tickets

Model 157 Register

The Model 157 Register is a non-resettable totalizer that provides an increasing cumulative reading. An input shaft connected to the register change gear drives the register. There is a 1:1 ratio between the input shaft and the first wheel. To measure in increments of more than a single unit, the Model 157 uses “fixed zeros” to the right of the first wheel. A Model 157 Register reading in gallons or pounds is a function of the flowmeter’s gear train ratio and the ratio of the two change gears. For each complete revolution of the pointer, the right hand wheel on the totalizer will rotate one complete revolution.

Features

  • Seven digit direct reading register with six odometer wheels and a sweep hand for the least significant digit
  • Easy to attach and remove from the flowmeter

The Best Dispenser Meter is Now Even Better


The Neptune 4D-MD meter has long been the standard for accuracy and reliability in LPG dispensing applications. At Red Seal Measurement, we value our customers’ suggestions for product improvement. Based on feedback from the field, we’ve identified several modifications to enhance the performance and durability of the 4D-MD, and after rigorous evaluation, we’re pleased to announce their implementation. Some of these changes have already been incorporated, and the remainder are being introduced into production beginning May 1, 2018.

Read the full newsflash on the 4D-MD improvements.

Auto-Stop Switches

Neptune Model 23 Auto-Stop Switches, used with 800 series preset registers, extend the Auto-Stop feature to electrically operated systems for the remote actuation of valves, pumps or other accessory equipment. They can be supplied on new flowmeters or added to flowmeters already designed for Auto-Stop operation. They can be used with any 800 Series Preset Register.

There are two types of Auto-Stop Switches, 23A and 23B. They are identical in outward appearance; however, the Model 23A is a two-stage switch used with actuated valves and the Model 23B is a single stage switch.

Model 23A

The Model 23A is designed to be used only with a double-trip Auto-Stop Register. The Model 23A provides two switch closures for two-stage shutdown of solenoid valves with the final closure also de-energizing the pump if needed. No mechanical valve is needed with the Model 23A switch. Model 23A switches are double-pole double-throw (DPDT).

Model 23B

The Model 23 B can be used with either a single trip or double trip Auto-Stop Register. Model 23B Switches provide one switch closure for single trip valve shutdown and/or pump de-energizing. They may be used with or without an auto-stop valve. Model 23B switches fit to the rear housing of the auto-stop register and allow the operator to electrically energize and de-energize some other device in sequence with the auto-stop register. The Model 23B switch is commonly wired to a motor starter for a pump. When activating the mechanical batch operation at the auto-stop register, the pump is energized at the same time. The switch closes and the pump is de-energized at the end of the batch. The Model 23B switch may be used with the auto-stop register even if a mechanical valve is not used. In these cases, the Model 23B starts and stops the flow for approximate batching application. Model 23B switches are single-pole double-throw (SPDT).

Neptune Batchmate 1500

The BATCHMATE may be thought of as two separate counters and a rate meter. The “batching” counter counts to “pre-warn” and “preset” set points entered by the user and enables separate control outputs. The “totalizing” counter gives a cumulative reading or grand total.

Additionally, the rate meter counts the number of pulses per second and, with its scaling feature, provides gpm or any other rate measurement. At any time the user may view the total, the grand total or the rate, while never interrupting the counting process.

The front panel keypad controls the menu-driven software used for system set-up. Start/stop control can be activated via the front panel keys or remote switches.

Features

  • Preset counter with two stage batch control
  • Displays total, rate or grand total
  • Pulse or analog input
  • K-factor programmable to 8 places
  • NEMA 4X front panel
  • Optional 4-20mA analog output
  • Scaled pulse output
  • Security Lockout
  • Remote operation (start, stop, reset)
  • Missing pulse (meter failure) detection

Digital Pulse Transmitters

Digital transmitters produce signals that exist only in one of two states: ON or OFF. These states may also be referred to as HIGH or LOW, or 1 or 0 (zero).

Model VR7697 (Models 35, 43 & 45):
This economical and versatile bi-directional digital pulse transmitter provides 10 pulses per revolution with excitation power of 115-250 VAC or 12-36 VDC, making it compatible with most remote read-out equipment. Used with 600 Series Register.

Model VR7671 (HR) (Models 35 HR, 43 HR, & 45 HR):
This solid state Hall Effect digital pulse transmitter provides 50 or 100 pulses per revolution. Note that input (excitation) power is limited to 10-15 VDC.

PL 100 LPG Dispenser Pump

The PL100 Pump is a regenerative turbine pump. Liquid is drawn into the inlet and enters a chamber where it flows around a double-sided impeller. The liquid is directed into the vanes, which move the liquid forward while at the same time imparting a circulatory motion within the vane, increasing the liquid’s kinetic energy. As the liquid leaves one vane, it is directed into the next, and the process is repeated. Each successive trip through the vanes results in a further gain of energy. This process is called regeneration, and enables the pump to deliver an outlet pressure up to ten times greater than a centrifugal pump with the same impeller diameter.

As the differential pressure (between the inlet and outlet) increases, the horsepower required to drive the pump increases, and the capacity decreases.

Since the impeller is the only moving part and has no contact with the casing, it experiences practically no wear, even when pumping volatile, non-lubricating liquids such as LP gas.

MassTrack Inventory Management System

Mass inventory management systems combine the superior accuracy of Neptune mass flowmeters with specialized software to bring all product flows under control. The system instantaneously tracks and balances mass intake against mass ouptput, providing key information needed to reduce shrinkage or product loss.

Mass inventory tracking provides real-time information that has significant bottomline impact through:

  • Reduced shrinkage
  • Timely ordering/purchasing
  • Shorter billing cycles
  • Faster inventory turnover
  • Optimized revenue and cash flow
  • Rapid payback

Easily configurable to individual bulk plants, the system can accommodate unloading from a variety of supply modes: from ships, pipelines, railcars or motor transports. Neptune Coriolis mass flowmeters measure every liquid phase flow and vapor return loop. This uniquely integrated approach tightens up inventory tracking by accounting for vapor phase return flows previously not measured, particularly significant in bulk unloading or bobtail filling operations.

One computer, interfaced comprehensively with multiple flowmeters, pumps, valves and sensors, displays data through our proprietary software (Microsoft Windows based). The software provides a detailed tabular log of every event, an instantaneous mass balance and total inventory position. Transaction information can be interfaced with accounting software for seamless data management. Managers can track status anytime, from anywhere, through remote monitoring and control capabilities.

NexGen SFT200 Mass Flow Transmitter

The NexGen SFT200 mass flow transmitter provides a small, efficient, low-cost control system for our mass flow transducers. The NexGen SFT200 greatly reduces the overall cost of the metering system in situations where the full capabilities of the Nexgen SFT100 are not required, for example, a Modbus environment where multiple meters are monitored by a central processor.

The NexGen SFT200 output is MODBUS protocol via RS-485, communicating at standard speeds up to 56.6 K baud. Pulse output is also available. All other functions are handled by external monitoring and control software applications.

The transmitter performs the basic functions of controlling and monitoring the mass flow transducer to determine the mass flow rate, the mass total, density, and temperature. From these primary measurements, it calculates the volumetric flow rate and volumetric total.

The transmitter can be configured through a PC with the NexLink software. Optional interface devices can provide ancillary functions and calculations such as batch control functions, net oil/net water measurements, or other functions.

The Nexgen SFT200 can be mounted directly to the case of the transducer, or remotely mounted when operating conditions are not conducive to integral mounting. Field connections to the unit are made through an 8 position terminal strip with 14 – 18 AWG wires. The wiring cable is run through the unit’s connector and secured with a cable gland or conduit. Remote mounting requires an additional cable between the NexGen SFT200 and the transducer adapter.

Type S Meter with Magnetic Drive

The 2″ Type S Magnetic Drive flowmeter, with double case construction, utilizes the nutating disc positive displacement technology. This design results in an accurate meter, which is insensitive to small changes in viscosity and flow profile disturbances. The magnetic drive feature eliminates the use of a drive shaft stuffing box eliminating a leak path. This enables measurement of difficult fluids such as salt brine and sugar, which tend to crystallize. The Type S Magnetic Drive is an ideal selection for continuous operation because they substantially reduce leaks and measuring element clogging. Further, the external gear train and register may be serviced without flow interruption.

Applications: Liquids: Vegetable oils, liquid sugar, water, corn syrup, sucrose, mineral spirits, solvents, latex, asphalt, fuel oil, molasses, animal fat, Toulene, Acetone, milk, juice, acids, lube oil.

Industry: Sewage Treatment, Brick Manufacturing, Ceiling Tile manufacturing, Hospital utilities, School Heating, Pharmaceuticals, Adhesives, Farm Services, Fragrances, Animal Feed, Chemicals, Food Canning, Bakery, Plastics, Beverage Production, Paint and Coatings, Tire Manufacturing, Paper Mill, Beverage Bottling
