The document provides step-by-step instructions for installing a Seametrics AG2000 center pivot irrigation flow meter. The instructions include measuring the vertical riser pipe, cutting out sections of pipe to ensure straight sections before and after the meter, welding flanges to the pipe ends, installing the meter and ensuring proper orientation, installing equalization wires for grounding, securing the output cable to prevent water intrusion, installing a protective cap, routing the cable, making electrical connections, and referring to additional documentation for operation.

3.  Cut out a section of straight pipe, insuring there are at
least two pipe diameters of straight pipe on the inlet side of
the meter, and one pipe diameter of straight pipe on the
outlet side of the meter.

8.  Install the equalization wires and tabs from the lug to the
top and bottom pipe flanges for proper electrical
grounding.

9.  Use a cable tie to secure the Power/Output cable to the
pivot, ensuring there is a small loop at the meter strain
relief. This will help prevent water running down the cable,
and into the meter.

10.  Install the Weather Guard protective cap over the meter
head. This is a force-fit, so measurable pressure will be
required for a correct fit.

11.  Route the Power/Output cable to the appropriate pivot
manufacturers panel.
 Consult the Seametrics Instructions "Connections, AG2000" for
specific electrical connections.
